that sounds pretty cool. That's the day before the Tarheel sports car club test n tune in sanford, I think

which car do I drive, though, the 325 or the 944? I guess that depends on if the 944 is running by then or not...

I am in the same dillema with what car to drive. I think the 944 croud would be smaller and that would mean I should drive it.

I think you and Cameron should caravan down here, would love to meet up with ya.

I talked to Jim from Euroworks last night at the PCA meeting and he seemed to think the turn out would be great, not sure on the vender list though. I am going to try and hit it up early, I think it all starts around 9AM.

I've got some friends coming up that aren't really car people, so I probably won't show. Let me know how it goes! Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for a BMW ZHP stock exhaust system...wouldn't mind one of those.

It'll be about a two hour drive towards the East from Ashville!

I'm thinking I may show up - but I gotta check to see if I have anything else going on.

Here are some pics from the show. Mostly 911 stuff, one guy with some 86 944 turbo parts. I was more impressed by the Euroworks shop itself. My shop is nice, but these guys do full race builds and engine work too. One can dream!! Out back in the one shot are a bunch of 944 cars that are in various stages of (dis)repair.

My heart jumped when I saw the 930 slant-nose out back, but it was a slant conversion, but very well done. It's been sitting back there for a year or so untouched as the owner either does not want to fix it, or has abandoned it. Would be a great project as it needs new paint and some other work. Someday I will have one!

Michelle, you live in Asheville now? I am 20 minutes from there and work in Asheville. Drop me a pm some time.

Eurowerks is very nice, however I miss the old shop and how nice Jim and Keith used to be. Great guys still, all business now.
