We met at the Taj Garage, my daughter was with me and we were checking out Eric's 4-cyl engine for rebuild and his beat-to-crap 911 engine.

I think that was Scott, "NoRustScott" in the white 914, possibly. Did he have a rider with him? Scott has antique MD tags. He was there that day with his brother and a couple of friends.

I came down Rt 15 through Frederick. I think it's a very nice drive compared to I-83 and far fewer of the constabulary.

white 914 could be scott. john's is a bumblebee.

Man, it was a beautiful day -- a real change for Hershey. I realized I had a bad sunburn when I got home.

I had a lot of fun hanging out with Pari, Tim and Chris, and thanks to them for letting me share their vendor space. I did better than I expected selling the bits and mistakes that had accumulated in my garage -- so I can buy more bits and mistakes.

One thing I bought has already turned out to be a POS. I got a jacking plate from Rennline, since I'm always misplacing the one I have. I tried to use it Sunday and it seems too short. First time, it flipped out of the jacking point on the car as I was starting to jack it up. Second time, wedged in good, it started bending the sheet metal. When I compared it to my other one, it looks 2-3 inches shorter in length. A real waste of $15. I may call the Rennline guy just so he knows the thing has a real design flaw. Anybody else try that?

Yes there was a passenger....must have been him then.

By the way, did anybody check out the Spyder that was parked behind our vendor space? Really cool.

whoo-hooo! we have a winner. i got an email this am that i won a $75 gift certificate to mid-america/tweeks! it's already spent.

[JohnB]

Way to go, Jim! I can help you spend it.

That 550 was sweet. I'm guessing by the 4 bolt wheels that it's a kit (I thought the real ones had the wide 5 bolt pattern like old 356s and VW Beetles). Anyone know for sure? Even if it is a kit, it was still pretty damn nice!

Vu that was me and my brother. I pushed the little four pretty hard on the way home. along about the MD line ... up to 4500 rpm in 5th... Notice I did not pass you!

That was really a killer day. Hey Jim, you could have used that 75 bucks to bargain with Bruce on that sheet metal ...lol
