Busy cars and coffee at our local toybarn community this AM. A good friend of mine parked his rare "chairs and flares" Dino next to my '73. We figured we'd park the bastard children of Porsche and Ferrari together...
Love the old pictures... my all time favourite uncle, my dad's only brother, had the first Porsche in our familly. My cousin, in the service at the time, brought his '69 912 home from Stuttgart. Even though I was 6' fall, I loved "riding" in the back seat at the time. Hell, it was a Porsche!!
Here is another shot from our toybarn C&C last Saturday- doing mid engine cars proud...
Wow...it's been forever since I posted here. A LOT has happened in our 914 lives over the past few years...
Papa Smurf met his demise in 2020 with a stuck throttle that put me/us through a tire wall, over a berm and into the woods at Summit Point at 70 mph. I was fine but Papa was gone. So we parted him out and bought a Spec Cayman to race.
Huey has basically been sitting doing nothing except a yearly SCCA Hillclimb and Okteenerfest weekend. So we've decided to make him more 'street' friendly - we took out the roll cage and when we get a chance we'll clean up the interior, fix some paint chips and just drive him more.
Here's one of my favorite pictures of Papa Smurf from Ken Hills - ironically at Summit Point in 2019. That car was absolutely awesome. After we did a total tear down and rebuild (down to media blasting the chassis, rebuilt the cage and stiffened it up, etc), refreshed the engine to 370+ hp, regeared the 915 trans with LSD, got the weight down to 2050, wing, splitter, 12" slicks....SOOO much fun to drive. But as they say, all good things must come to an end...
