Not sure how I did this, but somehow my phone was taking B&W photos. But I think it’s fitting.

Isn’t it funny how things work out. This was not planned on my trip from Ontario to Michigan.
This was shortly after crossing the blue water bridge.
And I have to say what a great event, great people and a fabulous campfire
I’ll be posting some track videos tomorrow.

My car made it all the way to the entrance gate at Mosport, then refused to start. George took me around the track in his beautiful signal orange 914. I then called CAA to take my car home, so I missed out on the driving tour and BBQ at Mark's.

Was a great weekend, thanks everyone! Made it back home with no issues. Made the round trip without stopping for fuel... Gauge still says 1/4 tank. THAT's a big part of the reasons for the swap I did! Odometer isn't good, but the round trip with the tour had to be at least 700 km.

And thanks again to Mark Henry! Tour and barbeque was great, and I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without his help repairing the car!

Hey John, super hanging out with you and swapping stories. Hats off to the teener faithful like John that go any distance for a 914 experience. Great weekend, great people. Big thank you to Kim and Elizabeth for all the food prep and awesome hospitality - can hardly wait for next year. Looking forward to September 29th for Mont Tremblant! Stay tuned!

I'm totally burnt out, show was a success and I now have a running /6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)


Got the /6 oil leak repaired, the gasket between the chain and cam housings got fuched up on install. Of course it was the only gasket I didn't have so I had to make one, but I got 'er done.
PatrickB's 914 arrived on a flatbed, bolts fell out/broke of an outboard CV, so first thing Sunday I had it on the lift removed the half shaft, chased the threads and found some bolts for it.
Did 40 minutes of laps at the track, had a parade of some 20 914's from Mosport to my place for a cool meet and greet and BBQ

Everyone had a good time, I always like putting faces to user names, and I met 914'ers from the area I didn't even know about.

Because we now have PCA support, plus their show and fun run insurance, this is very likely going to become a yearly event. The track time was generously donated by the PCA and the racers because of the 914's 50th, don't know if we can swing that again, but the fun run and show/BBQ for sure.

Correction....
Google tells me my round trip was 791 kms... ( somehow we missed the turn off the 407 and went home through Hamilton, I'm blaming my navigator) and the gauge shows me 1/4 tank still. Potential is there for better yet with a taller gear.
Thanks again to Mark and family! their yard was a great place to pitch a tent for the night.

No problem. I was wondering what was taking so long to start your tour. I was going to give you back your coil when you drove by.

Left the car on the charger overnight and it started right up this morning. So frustrating that I missed everything due to a bad battery maybe? Or bad alternator?
