Went today, mid-late afternoon. Sorry to have missed everyone (and very sorry not to have gotten back to Felix in a timely fashion!) but it was cool to see the cars there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Talked to a guy at the Porsche stand who has been with the company forever. He and Pedro Rodriguez drove the Tapiro from Mexico City (I think) up to the States. He claimed 86 916s were made, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect, but he had some interesting stories... --DD |

interesting stuff Dave. I spoke to Rob Eglsaer (Stevens Creek Porsche Fleet Manager) he used to race 914s back in the 70s as well.
He was very impressed with our little display of 914s. |

QUOTE(McMark @ Jan 14 2007, 10:18 AM) Somebody ripped my name off the board. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I wonder who would do such a thing... I hear this guy was running around the place and looking very suspicious. Perhaps he took it? (IMG:http://img.timeinc.net/ew/features/990625/itlist/img/minime.jpg) Whoever really took it was certainly just as mature. When is this stupid petty stuff ever going to stop? |

It was great seeing everyone there. The cars looked fabulous! What a wonderful representation of cars we all wish we had! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It was nice to meet Trevor face to face. For the record, I was not dancing in that second picture. I thought we were just 'staging' the shot, not actually taking it. I was mid-something (stride?), but definately not dancing.
Daniel: I was stoked to get the shirt in time for the show. Thanks. It's a bit small (I can usually wear an XS-S... WTF? Maybe extra pounds from the holidays? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) but I stretched it into submission. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whip[1].gif) Thanks! Jen |

Michael, Trevor, John, and I had fun loading the neo914 in a "couple" of hours. They pushed it the length of the tent while I sat in to steer around the Ferraris and Corvettes... first drive! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
We repositioned the come along and moved the car back and forward several times to line it up with the trailer. Driving the trailer/truck forward to the right finally did the trick, Brilliat Trevor! I couldn't remember how I did this myself while at SEMA... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Hope we can all get together again soon. |
