Speaking of which, did somebody say there is a corvette engine in this exceptional red 79? ( shown here sitting next to Alex's gorgeous silver Ontario 78)

I consider this to be Alex's "before" picture, can't wait for the "after":

This is what he did a few years ago:

Funny how sometimes I had no idea who people were, but when they raised their hood... I was familiar with their engine from pictures online. Here is an example. I talked to this guy several times, could pick him out of a line up, even sat at the same dinner table. His name escapes me, but not his engine:

Thank you Dave and Jeannie, fantastic job with the event! The mountains are absolutely beautiful, people were extraordinarily friendly and the police even helped make it even more fun!

The Blue Ridge Pkwy was a blast. Definitely on par with anything I've driven out west and certainly less traffic which was a bonus.

Great to hang out with old friends and meet new ones as well. Shared some laughs and saw some beautiful sharks.

Can't wait for next year, maybe I'll bring the 928......

Default No Gold

And, crunched car notwithstanding, once again plenty of silver but lacking a touch of gold....so my car will opt in vicariously...I'm channeling/conveying its regrets for missing the gathering

^^^LOL, So glad someone took the picture before he took it off. Did anyone get a shot of the picture when it was on the window?

What a spectacular time! I mean that. SITM has become a family reunion that I WANT to attend every year.

Dave and Jeannie have, once again, put on the best 928 event, bar none! The new venue was a complete success. Thanks to you again.

I've got a lot of picture below, but before you look at them, please consider this...

If you have ever attended SITM or ever plan to attend SITM in the future, without 928 Specialists, there is no SITM. It is without question the premier 928 gathering. A lot of hard work, expense, and stress goes into pulling this event off. I think that's worth something. Don't you?

During the banquet dinner, I made a small speech and challenged people to purchase their next $500 of 928 parts from 928 Specialists. Sure you might find the part you're looking for somewhere else a little bit cheaper, but isn't knowing you're supporting and helping SITM happen worth a few bucks? I know it is for me and many others.

Alright, on to the pictures.

We were next door to AO. That thing in the window scared the hell out of me a couple of times before I got used to it being there. How would you like to see that staring at you from the window next door when you step out of your hotel room first thing in the morning? Good thing I don't have a weak ticker.

I want thank Dave and Jeannie for a great event once again. My brother and I had a great time and felt very welcomed by all. We're already making plans for next year.
