The TETP was a great success....

I had a great time.. thanks to all involved for coming out and hanging
around doing 928 stuff..

Special thanks to Adrian for setting up the photo shoot at the LeMay Museum..
that was too cool and a nice break in between the tap drilling . It is so so
much fun to convoy in a long line of 928's..everyone looks...and I think the
visitors to the LeMay were thrilled by all the 928s.

I think everyone succeeded (except Porken who was feeling too sick to hang
out..hope you feel better soon)..I counted 5 928s that needed their tow eye
plugs removed (mine, Mark J, Andrew, Stefan, and Adam), and Jim/Sue, Tom R, and
Brian just needed theirs chased with the tap. Lots more just came out for
bfast, or to assist and hang out(Adrian, Michael, Micheal (owner of Curt Nichols
old red 86.5), Maurice, Steve P, Ed Boyd, Ray,Bill VV, and Portland Tom D)..I think I got
everyone...sorry if I missed someone

Adam and Mark were lucky enough to have their plugs come out in one
piece...Andrew, Stefan, and myself had to do lots of drilling...but in the
end..it all worked out.

So much going on...and lots of pics....hopefully some of the others will post up pics.. I've put mine here:

Thanks to Adam for the new rubber GTS tow eye plugs..

And here's some of carnage


Cheers,
Tom

This one is my favorite from Tom's pics, even though it is conspicuously short one black 928 with 335's in the back.

I would also like to thank Alan, Tom, Adam and Stefan for their efforts. Also a big thank you to Adrian for setting up the photo gig on the front entrance to LeMay. I had a great time and appreciate Jim C. helping with my Hans Sharkwoofer wiring.

Adam, I agree with your choice of pictures above ! Looks like my favorite S4 upfront.

I hope this PKold doesn't turn into PKneumonia, after standing outside all day.


In hindsight, I should have stayed home, but it was great to see everyone!

You have to take advantage of 928 meetings when they happen up here in the PacNW!

Glad it worked out so well, seems you had a great turn out in general!

Assume all the pacifiers found homes!

Thanks for the action pics!

Just so you know, the gent who made the tap here was quite interested in its travels when I mentioned its current location, so I have passed on Alan's list of its travels, and some of the latest pics above. Thanks for posting the pics and comments.

Hey guys, was nice to be able to drop in and say hi even if it was only for 5 mins. Was sorry to not be able to stick around longer and get to meet everyone, but still enjoyed seeing the gang and it will help motivate me to get back on my long stalled S4 repairs.

And great pics!

Thanks for putting this together, I'm looking forward to the next get together. -Ed
