FYI, there is also a game room in the back of the Pizzeria for the kids (of all ages). The Brick Oven Pizzeria is our "Home Base" for the Sat Day event...and is "Property of SITM" for the whole day. Only people with a SITM Badge have access, it's ALL OURS. :-)
The owners are fantastic and make some DANG GOOD FOOD, plus they just added an Expresso bar, AND have the largest selection of imported Beers in the region!

Hi DR - I spy several twin-outlet mufflers amongst the sea of parts. Per chance, would one of them happen to have a part number ending in .03? If so, I'd be very interested in taking it off your hands. (My .01 model is too quiet)

We're here, too. At the top of the hill above Brick Oven on the Pinnacle Inn Resort property. Happy with my choice as my kids are into the amenities here.
Not happy with letting a GPS guide me in.... it chose to send us through several small roads 1334 (or something), 104, etc... and we got to watch them knock rocks off the mountain in front of us.
The good news is we crossed the 150K mile mark 10 miles from Beech Mountain on these roads
Here's what we saw at the 150K mark....
A nice peaceful scene on a crazy road with a car that decide now was the time to drop out if idling below 1000 RPM
A happy 12 year old for the 150K milestone!
My 8 year old comic relief suggesting "Names" for the car...
And a stressed out driver using both feet and quick shifts into Neutral to keep my automatic running all while listening to a GPS tell us to take a left or right at every switch in the mountain road ....
We ate dinner at Brick Oven and were told by the folks there that we are the first ones they've seen.
I honestly had no problems for 540 of the 550 miles so hopefully my idle issues were the result of an overworked 20 yr old car breathing purer mountain air than it is used to at sea level.... yeah right
If it dies up here, we'll kick it into neutral and roll down the hill to the event

DR: Bejezzus, what are you doing with all those parts? Sell that s...t now at .10 on the dollar and get rid of the stress of having it! The guys with the OB's oughta be kissing your butt in a few hours after seeing that stuff, so move it on out. Wish I were there.

Took me also 20 years to accumulate....but this post (#120 from this Thread) explains it best..
I have finally confirmed the Sunday Schedule for Sharks in the Mountains. We had tossed around a few ideas, but in the end came up without something that should be a win, win for all of us.
We will still have the "Hang out and Cook out" like we did last year, which was a lot of fun for those that came (especially for Jeannie and I), but, due to a lot of requests for picking up parts during SITM we are expanding that "fun day" here to include a special "Crazy Dave's 928 Parts Sale"...LOL.
As a "Thanks" to all who attend Sharks in the Mountains this year, they are gonna get first shot at some parts deals they may want or need. Also, it will be a great help to me as I am dead set on getting everything re-organized as I am plain sick of the mess around here and just can't take it anymore...plus, honestly I could use the money to do some other things that I need and want to take care of. As I said, a win, win for all of us!
So by request from many of you (thanks for the idea)!
New and Used Parts Blow Out Specials for the attendees of Sharks in the Mountains!
Date: Sunday June 5th, 2011 - 10:30 am - until
Location - 928 Specialists
While this is planned Officially for Sunday June 5th, IF there is enough interest we can do some of it on the Thursday and Friday before SITM, or even the Monday afterwards. That is up to you guys.
Also PLEASE do not contact us between now and then asking if this or that is going to be in the sale. I am trying to get everything ready for SITM and get all of this stuff organized.... and heck, honestly I don't even know what all I have currently, especially the used stuff... just come to SITM and see if you want anything from it.
OH, also I am planning to do a Charity Auction at the Banquet this year (Saturday Night) of some odd/obscure new 928 Parts, Factory Literature, and some ofther interesting 928 Related Goodies, including some brand new 928 Products, instead of a just giving away Door Prizes.
I have found a bunch of small odd parts so far in just cleaning up my Office area(for the first time in ages :-) which sparked the idea. More will be added as I find more odd/strange 928 Parts in other areas of my private stashes..LOL
Most likely all of the proceeds will go to help the Current Flood Victims along the Mississippi River. Our thoughts and best wishes to all of those in that area.
I am also open to other ideas to contribute to, so if you have a better idea, or know of any of our fellow 928ers that have been directly affected by some of the recent disasters, or just plain needs our help, PLEASE let me know.
I hope that doesn't dissapoint too many that come for our usual Door Prizes (or "Free Stuff" as Jeannie yells out to everyone :-). I think as a community we can do better, especially with all the natural disasters we as a nation have been hit with this year. With things I have experienced lately and seen happening all around us..it just feels like the right thing to do.
See everyone SOON!!!

New and Used Parts Blow Out Specials for the attendees of Sharks in the Mountains!

- FREE Used Parts Giveaways - There will be some piles that will be FREE (and clearly marked :-) to anyone that needs them to fix/repair, replace things missing, or "upgrade/replace" parts to maybe something in better condition than what you have now. PLEASE just take from this stuff what you need for YOUR 928..not to sell on Ebay..LOL. OK, let's be real, you are not going to find a $2000 set of perfect Black Leather Sport Seats in these piles..but hopefully there will be something for most that can be used to make something just a little better on their 928.
- Crazy Prices on ALL Used Parts
I have had a few guys here the past few weeks (Thanks again Kevin, Nikola and Fergus) helping me to get caught up with things around my home and office. One of the big things they have started doing is to clear out my "Used Parts Storage" areas so I can even see what I still have, and be able to even get to it. This will continue over the coming days.
After close to 20 years of collecting used 928 parts and some parts cars, I had honestly forgotten that I had so much stuff. I never really pushed or actively sold used parts much since starting 928 Specialists so it has been sitting here collecting dust.
Again, don't come expecting to get a perfect 91-up AirBag or Airbag Steering wheel for $10...but it will all be priced to sell immediately. No fair offer on any or all of it will be refused, and some of the grouping of parts will be sold literally "by the pound".
I am not too sure just how organized we will have it due to time constraints, but will at least have everything sorted in related groups. Keeping it real, my used parts collection is nothing compared to Mark's "Goldmine of 928 used parts" at 928 International, but it should be worth looking thru to see if there is anything you may need.
From good airbags, to wiring harnesses for just about every year and sub-system, nice wiper/turn/cruise (and come computer stalk versions) switch assemblies, early Bumper covers, a Euro or GT Fender or 2, Doors, and just about every small and large part in/on a 928 all the way up to a straight stripped 89GT Chassis with clear title FYI, no running engines or good trannys, but a few 32V and 16V core engines and no perfect like new interiors currently.
- Below Cost on ALL in Stock New Parts
Also over the past 13-14 years we have ended up with a lot of odd, rare, slow selling, large and small new parts.
Again, I need the room for something else, the sanity of getting things simplified/organized in my life, and the "money" that is just sitting there collecting dust and taking up space....so it will be priced to sell and again no fair offer will be refused.
From new Wiring Harnesses, to fuel/AC/trans lines that run the length of the 928, to brand new factory 16V cylinder head, to boxes of discontinued parts like rear early bumperettes, new AC Condensors, new Speakers/Grilles, S4 Intake side Cover(s), rare sunroof tools, new factory springs, to a bunch of "Budget Rear Swaybars" I found, a Carbon Fiber Wing, and thousands of other small and large 928 new parts, gasket sets etc.. We will have a list of all or at least most of the new parts to make it easier for everyone.
- No Fair Offer Refused on ANY and ALL in Stock Parts!
- As mentioned, Sunday is also the "Hang out and Cook out" at 928 SPECIALISTS (BYOB). We usually all pool funds and some of the gang goes and grabs burgers, hot dogs chicken etc that can be cooked on the grill. I forgot who volunteered to be the Grill Meister last year, but they were darn good, THANKS to all that helped with Lunch last year!!!
While this is planned Officially for Sunday June 5th, IF there is enough interest we can do some of it on the Thursday and Friday before SITM, or even the Monday afterwards. That is up to you guys.
