No va gathering
30 degree weather did not stop 12 cars from driving in and one towed to Norther Virginia for a tune, tips, radiator repair, talk (some amounting to bs), twiddling, and swapping. A computer was put in a 86.5 and resulted in a diagnosis of a bad computer. Searching for a solution will follow. some pics;

Oldtee,
Thanks for the pix. Some of us spent the day under our cars (in 30 degree weather). I would definitely rather have been there.
Good thing I didn't go for it though, it turns out I was running without a TB warning light (found the wire grounded while doing my first tb/wp).
Hopefully I can make one in the spring. Any names we can put with the faces (or cars)?

I'm impressed Oldtee. Didn't know you could handle a camera.
Great turn out - including Beerburner's 944 and S4-on-your-back-door's newly acquired 993 (didn't bring the 928 pic to get in). Thanks to Mattman928 for hosting.
NJSharkFan you're on the hook for the coming year.
Glenn, your 928's got to have better heat than your British mobile for days like this. Did you at least drive your 928 to your British car club event?
Michaelathome the baton is back to you - we're counting on you.

Drove the Jag XJ6 with heated seats! Heater in the Triumph works great, carbs don't care for the cold. Sorry I missed the get together, looked like fun.
Cheers,
Glenn

It was a good time. I was so busy with the tune up that I didn't get to really talk to you guys. I did find out that my MAF may be bad. I did a swap with Matt and I noticed that my idle was lower than with my MAF. Maybe a problem?

Hey guys, just an update, Dan the guy with 993, hooked up with me today and sold me a LH & EZK unit and the shark has grown new teeth! I just wanted to let John know how much I appreciated him letting me use his LH unit to troubleshoot my car and Matt for hosting the GTG. I will keep a look out for anything going on in the Washington DC area. I will also follow up on my original post to see if maybe I can save somebody the headaches that I had to suffer trying to diagnose this problem.

blk928s check that MAF connector too make sure all wires are making a connection and are not broken. I thought I saw/read a writeup about how to check the maf wiring either on the list or in the shop manaul.
