You ARE lucky to have such a fantastic neighbor. I think I am pretty much the only 928 fan in my state now that Dan is gone.

 

I was thinkin' same......there are a small number of 928s in Alberta; very small.

Great to hear Dwayne not only publishes his fantastic pictorial 928 projects but also makes 'house calls'

I'd move to Cali or Tx for the 928 comaradary if it wasnt for the other millions and millions

 

I was gonna ride it that year too. Already had plane ticket so we brought our mountain bikes. We rode with Joe Dunn and Dan Buckely (passed away about three or four years ago). Then there was a character Jim McNealy in a wheel chair that we had trouble getting to stop talking to us.

Perhaps you know these guys.

My friends name that lived out there is Jeff Dalton. Know him? He was in the Sidewinder area. Moved back to Iowa in 1997.

 

No surprise there. You met the Art of 928 Maintenance Zen Master.

 

I think Dwayne doesn't know how much help he is giving around. Today I will be printing his 'remove the tank tutorial'. I have many of them already cover with grease.

Greetings to him from another neighbor (ok, this time maybe not around the corner)...

 

Dwayne has global reach; without his tank removal tutorial getting to this would a very loooong and frustrating day. Many Thanks

 

Jeff,
I know all those guys including Jim Mcnealy. He is in poor health now. A very nice guy, but yes VERY talkative!!!

 

Please elaborate, anyone.
As compared to what, the lunar lander?

 

Read some of Dwayne's write ups... It is just a car... not that big a deal. The difference between the 928 and other cars is that everything is bolted together so well you often have to remove 2X the number of bolts as in a "regular" car and they are packed so tightly that sometimes you have to remove 5 things to get to the ONE THING you actually want to get to, but it is NOT rocket science...it is a car!

 

When you consider how much "extra" time it takes to stop, remove the gloves, pick up the camera, get the shots, then edit and editorialize..........there is a lot being freely donated to the community. Thanks Dwayne

 

Amen Jim and thanks so much Dwayne!

 

He is a damm smart guy, so I wouldn't put it past him to have some help with shooting pictures and editing. I cannot imagine a one man team putting it all together.

 

I ride bike with Jeff Dalton very regularly and we hang out socially. Who should I tell him says hi?

Jeff
