The bus motor isn't done, so she's not going to make the trip. Damn work keeps cramping my vw time! ;-P
I'm down, and so is Nelson. You in for sure Pete? I've got the room booked (3 beds). I guess we'll take my accord. I've got a pair of wheels and some brake rotors waiting for me at the swap. The plan is to hit the road about lunch-ish on Friday, that way we can get in a good dinner before a solid nap. Hit the swap on Sat morning till about lunch, then bugger-back quick time to this side of the border.... The super is definately in need for an upgrade....  I've got lotsa 944 hubs and rear setups with your name on it.....Lanner Last edited by flat; April 21st 2008 at 20:50.

Anyone down for the ride? Pete and Nelson can't make it, and it'll be long drive on my lonesome....

Just got back. I had a great time! A quick synopsis:
I drove the accord down, which was a Godsend. Those mountains in Pennsylvania would have killed the bus with its poor ol' 1600. 5-8% grades are commonplace and there are a couple 10 percenters. On the way back I had to 'take-a-gear' on an uphill, but the car was loaded up heavy. The swap was great. Alot of vendors with good prices. I picked up some stuff I needed like the much elusive 993 spare tire. I got some boxster rotors for my super, and some other little stuff. One guy had a 944 on the trailer that had previously been relieved of its motor and interior, and he only wanted $C100 for the rest of the car. If only I had a trailer... but, he said I can self-pick what I want. I couldn't resist, I grabbed some tools and pulled off a couple small things for a very reasonable price. Even though I try, I seem to always get my hands dirty! Here is some eye candy:   Cha-ching:  Quite a few guys had the early carrera drum brakes, about $2800 for a clean pair  The show was amazing. I'd guesstimate about 500 P-cars. The star of the show was a real 917, that was DRIVEN there. Yup, seven figure car driven to the event. I don't even want to know what his insurance premiums must be....  The owner was really cool, and I spoke with him for a bit. He even left the car while he grabbed a bite to eat with all the doors open for all to see. The motor has gotta be worth 150K:
