Default Diablo Wash & Shine Sunday!!

The 21st annual Diablo wash & shine is this sunday!! The weather looks great....hopefully we can get a bunch of Noral 928ers to show up!! I plan on going (since I thought the concours last week got rained out, but it didn't!!)

Not this weekend. The tranny is later. We are retrofitting George's induction for smogging.

I have my parents, and we might stop on our way to Walnut Creek - if we have time, and most likely driving waSAABi.

I am broke and can't make bail, and have a hard time sneaking out. I'm hiding until Denver.

No more jail jokes (unless you changed your mind again... )

Nice show....Bill B & Nicole stopped by to say hi.....good turnout...of mostly 911's (typical)....only one other 928 (not competing)....I ended up in second place to a 1984 944 with 12K miles (yes 12K miles)...the owner said he drove 75 miles LAST YEAR!!!!! WOW.....it is pretty nice though!

Oh, we know that black one... Rich and I lost against that one a few years ago when it had een less miles and original tires from 84 (or whatever the year is). No chance against that one...

Good to see you, Brian, and congrats to your second place success! Sorry we did not make it to the event earlier.

Brian, my <12,000 mile 928 lost to that <12,000 mile 944 a couple years ago. It's a very nice car, kept immaculate. (BTW, how much does he want for it?) Don't feel bad. He only brings it out for this show it seems. Your's is a driver, and that should count against his 75 miles driven last year. Good job!

He actually got new tires, since the old ones had age cracks....it is in very nice shape...the sunroof seal is still fuzzy...almost like velour or something? He even has the original window sticker ($22K)....I didn't ask him how much he wants for it.....probably should have.....at least he only beat me by 1 point (equals one deduction on the scoring that day).... Plus I beat him at Blackhawk last year!!!! He got fourth that day (of 6 cars in our class)...I tied for first, but lost the tie breaker to a very nice 89 951...oh well

The real bummer is he only brings it to shows in the danville area....he won't even drive to the Parts Heaven show this weekend...... There are several other really nice 944's I have to compete against this year!

No way I could have a car that nice and not drive it. He shows amazing restraint... what does he drive when he's out picking up cleaning products for the 944?
