AWESOME! Zach That is by far one of the coolest gifts that I have ever received! That was made by Root and Jim and makes me fell incredibly flattered, honored and lucky to have such cool and talented friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) How the heck did I miss that? You get it while I was out with Ray for gear oil? Erin saw it, so I know it was before we kicked out. Thats cool as hell dude! Hey, did you (well, Noel) remember the cooler? I have to say, my personal favorite cars are pretty much the same as Ricks. My top 2 arn't even 914s. That T4 bug, and the sandrail. Way cool. After that, the yellow 914 with the 1.8T and the red 914. Really pretty car. That yellow car was funny. I bunch of us are standing looking at the back. "What engine is that?" I recognized the manifold, so I said, I think its either the 18.8t or the 2.0t from a modern VW. Yeah, the car was badged 1.8t. Where the hell were you, Capt. Obvious? 4 guys looking at the ass end of that car, and none of us paid attention to the badging. The keg had not even been capped yet. Zach |

I'm glad y'all enjoyed the beer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) It was a really simple one, really...
Mash-Tea: 1 lb. M20 crystal malt, steeped at 150 degrees for 30 minutes in 1.5 gallons water; collect the tea for the boil. Full Wort Boil (using 8 gallon kettle and Cajun cooker): 7 lb. Muntons extra light dry malt extract 1 oz. Centennial leaf hops @ 9.8% - 60 min. 1 oz. Fuggles leaf hops @3.6% - 30 min. 1 tsp. Irish moss - 15 min. 1 oz. Fuggles leaf hops @ 3.6% - Flameout Chill to 75 degrees before pitching yeast; add water as needed to make 5 gallons Yeast: 1 packet Nottingham dry yeast, hydrated in 1 cup cooled boiled water Ferment in primary for 4 days. Place 1 ounce Fuggles leaf hops in secondary and rack beer onto hops. Secondary time just under 6 weeks; rack to keg and force carbonate. OG: 1.060 FG: 1.014 ABV: 6.1% I use Muntons extra light for almost all extract batches any more. It never gives me a sour "extracty" taste. But I think the leaf hops really make it... almost all of my pale ales use leaf (rather than pellet) hops. And of course the magic secret ingredient... all my beers are brewed with love. |

QUOTE(jd74914 @ Sep 17 2007, 01:05 AM) Any pictures of the 1.8T car? None of the engine area, at least that I took. it was parked under a tree, and the engine was very shaded. If I had shot it, it would have been too dark to see detail. The rear trunk was removed, with a tube frame for support. The 1.8 engine is a TALL engine, and the engine bar was really close to the ground. 3-4 inches for ground clearance max. With the rain tray removed, he had a little more room to move the engine up, but they had measured height with the rain tray in. It looked like a really solid conversion, so long as you did not need your rear trunk. The turbo sat out behind the engine, I don't think he was running an intercooler. This was the car from the outside. Note all the folks checking out the engine. (IMG:http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1217/1388777653_ddf7edaab7.jpg) Zach |

Thanks to everyone for an unforgettable time. Matt and family, thanks so much for hosting this event, and also for giving me the honor of leading our cruise. As this was my first 914 event, that made it all the more memorable. Hope I didn't drive too slow for everyone, but we were trying to keep the group together (still lost a few!).
Ken, that was some killer homebrew. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I'm going to try to make your recipe sometime. Everybody was cool. I got some great ideas for my car. Can't wait until the next get-together! |

QUOTE(plas76targa @ Sep 16 2007, 08:36 PM) Oh yeah, Zach I believe you left a red foldup chair. Now that the car runs I could zip up to York to drop it off. Matt, It's my red chair! Don't worry about it I'll pick it up sometime when I'm up your way again or you can bring it if you come to VBWSII at my place this November!

It was a great event, too bad I had to be the first one to leave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Nice meeting a lot of new faces and seeing some really trick cars...seriously...I haven't see stuff like a 1.8T, 2.7 w/ crank-fire, a 3.2, rat-rod 305v8 and other assorted goodies in one place before...not to mention 2 mint condition 912Es, and a Beatle type IV transplant. Great stuff, just VERY sad I couldn't sample the beer before I had to leave. I'll stay longer next year, that's for sure! |

Matt thanks again for hosting, it was a great event. Sorry I couldn't stay longer to enjoy the food and the beer...but I did at least get to Pittsburgh by 9pm (plenty of time to drink much worse brew).
It was fantastic to see everything from almost stock to incredibly modified there! Got a wave from a Ferrari F430 driver, a Lotus Elise driver and a Boxster S on the one hour drive back to Baltimore. In other words, purchase price justified (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). |

Matt & Katherine,
Thanks for a great time. Thanks Zach for pulling this together. Hope we didn't piss off the neighbors with all the exotic cars. Here's the good doc at work. I finished off the weekend with a good round of golf with my brother in Leesburg. On the 168 yard par 3 18th over water, I birdied the hole with a 40 foot putt...after putting 2 balls in the water. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Got an additional treat today of a trip around the tarmac at Dulles Airport. My bro's company was finishing concrete on the new terminal and he had to drop off a trailer full of equipment. At one point we were driving along the tarmac right beside a 737 taxi'ing to its gate. Didn't get to see any 747s but there was an Airbus A340 and a 777 parked. Spoke Attached image(s)

 Actually the turbo is in it's stock position on the side, and the intercooler sits to the back of the engine. All together it is too tall for the rain tray, more reason to go faster! The mission of this car is an auto-x toy 1st. I put all the steel panels, doors, and street seats back on for this road trip.Kevin QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Sep 17 2007, 08:18 AM) QUOTE(jd74914 @ Sep 17 2007, 01:05 AM) Any pictures of the 1.8T car?

Busy week here-- just got my first look at the photos. Good stuff, and a fine day we did have. Esp. thanks to the host, but also to all the longer distance drivers-- I had it easy, less than an hour. The drive up the mountain was a beauty-- glad I had my top off! And sorry I had to get on home, so missed the rest of the drive and the evening's shenanigans. A great tradition--let's keep it up. -Chris H.

Ha, I was just feelin it bro; usually play and sing with my eyes closed. Evil sang a very cool original song and we all felt it, that was a very cool moment, it flowed and we actually sounded pretty good. ScottyB actually made them trash cans sound musical, now thats was impressive. I think we could have played all night long with a little more beer. Notice the audience of one. Cool pics Mike!
