Rob(?) & Lorne's(?) 914's catching Dylan's 356c


Art's Super


My '69


Silas...spotted!


...And from Warwick:


Lorne & Marnya?  Haha, sorry...I clearly wasn't paying attention to which Frose was in which Porsche!


Geesh, is this guy EVERYWHERE!?! ;-)


Russell


Rrrrrrake! Ended up moving the case of RedBull and socket set to the back, which evened it out a little.

great pics dave!!! connor looks like he is indeed enjoying the taste of speed!!

daves k's 1964 porsche 356....dave is a very cool & friendly guy that seemed to really step up to help the guys out with the spring thaw. thanks dave!!!!



it was also very cool to see the frose clan (the guys that run AVR....a vw parts store that supports the people that support them...they support this forum by buying add space...they helped me out big time with prizes for the stock motor challenge last year...and they were a huge presence during the spring thaw offering to help out with fixing the vws)....

lorne frose's 914...



rob frose's 914 & art frose's super...



lorne, unkown, and rob in pemberton...



halfway up duffy lake road russell (yellow super beetle) ran into some troubles and all the german steel migrated to the same spot for a rest...(frose's to the rescue with the parts!)







unknown, followed by lorne's 914, followed by robs 914, followed by arts super, followed by the 2 guys in the datsun fairlady that spent the weekend mapping their megasquirt efi on their laptop...

[Lorne]

Silas, thanks for posting some  great pics! It sure was an incredible weekend. i'll post some pics later that Mayra took while was driving.

Ah-ha!

All three 914's put "green" on their entry lists...

Car number 27 was Andrew Polack. The red 911 was Vince and the Black wide-body was Ben. It's too bad I couldn't keep up with those two, they seemed like really nice guys.

The only brother left without an aircooled in his garage

Great stuff. I caught the remnants of it when I happened to be in Hope on Sunday afternoon. Rob, nice job on getting the 914 road-worthy!
I'll always be an aircooled guy, but I was quite lusting after the Alfa Romeo...
