Flying out tomorrow and camping at Tony's in Connecticut and then we will head out Friday. I'm in need of the plastic "guide" as it is called in the PET. This is the black plastic guide on the drivers side of the light bar that makes sure lights don't move side to side. Mine is cracked and still works, but I would like a replacement.
Free beer to the first one to brings me one.
I want thank Curt for putting this on and really appreciate the effort to organize this 928 weekend. I think the strong turnout reflects your commitment. No pressure.
Tony, Brian (BRB-83-911SC) and I will meet you at the Irving gas station on I91 in Greenfield, Ma at 10:30 on Friday. Going to be a good drive! Curt...get ready!
We're ready. I really mean "we" - in recent days, I've talked to two reporters, the town supervisor, the guy with the flatbed on call, the County Sheriff Department and the State Police. (The hope is they'll think we're mature adults, most of us. I said "It's not like we're a bunch of boy racers in WRXs." But please don't zoom past Sargeant Conway's mother's house, just down the road.)
Nancy and I packed the swag bags yesterday. She's making the major food run tomorrow. I'll go get the Genesee Cream Ale on Thursday. I already got some Labatts, but do I need some Molson to avoid offense? I'll need someone to make the donut run Saturday morning - two exits down the autobahn.
At the recent motorcycle rally, I noticed someone was providing Motorcycle Blessings. I've found someone who will provide 928 Blessings for only $20 ($30 additional for electrical system coverage).
In what I thought was the final stage of preparation my 928 got stage fright and now refuses to start. When I started looking for the problem I found some necessary maintenance that I had missed that gave ME a fright (while testing the fuel pump gas started spraying out of the accumulator. It never did that before!).
So you will have to print up a badge for me with my 1987 white 924S mentioned.
Taps, sure. Reveille, too, when the donuts arrive (thanks, Bob.) For those wondering where this is coming from, Bob also has a history with the French horn.
Organizational skills - maybe. Procrastinator - check. Neurotic worry-wort - check. Medication ready - check. Outcome not guaranteed, except for the most important bit: there will definitely be a gathering of dedicated 928 owners.
Those arriving Saturday should study the schedule on the website. Folks will be here at "Headquarters" in the morning, then disperse on several fun runs. We'll all reassemble on the lawn of the Chester town hall for the 3:00 PM 928 Car Show. Those who remain (e.g., me) will be making the transition between noon and 3:00.
It's killing me that I can't make it. But it's still very exciting to see an awesome event take shape...one that I will attend next year (Curt willing!). The 10-day GFS computer model forecasts should be pretty reliable because NOAA/NWS got new supercomputers a year or two ago.
