Re: Shark Sighting
Hi Guys,
My name is Tom and Ive been sober for >>>>>>>oops wrong group (ha ha). Anyway I live in North Seattle (north of the U duhb)and work in downtown Seattle (4th and Pike)for URS -- a large Engineering/Environmental Consulting Firm. On occasion (about once every two weeks) I get to blast down the I-5 to one of my sites in Longview, WA. Keep an eye out for a very dirty Black/Black 87S4. Not to be confused with the other Black/Black S4 down south (it's a little noisier than mine at the moment). Always keeping an eye out for 928s (seen Andy Pope blasting through downtown on occasion). Also frequently see a white 928S and a burgandy 928S (in Fremont/Wallingford).

Re: Shark Sighting
Hey Bobby...
I'm Andy, live in tacoma, am 25 and have a brown 1979 928 with 40k on it... i just got it not too long ago and the first thing i had done was my timing belt and water pump... i took it to paul weir in seattle because they gave me the best quote but they ended up being really expensive... so, i'm trying to find somewhere else that's a little cheaper... it's hard... that's sort of the commitment when you buy these cars... i would join you guys at red robin, but i have to leave for Eugene, OR that day to go watch a bunch of high-school football players run around... hope to talk to you soon! I might just stop in sometime, as i'm in lakewood now and then... your pal andy |
Devek Day
Hi All,
Preliminary word from Susan and Marc at Deveks. In conjunction with their get together at the shop, they will be hosting a group of interested drivers at Thunderhill on the 4th, which is Friday. We asked for a minimum of 20 cars. All this is still being finalized, but this is an early warning for us NW folks (I am helping organize, so we should get something out of it, right?) The cost will be somewhere around $200 with lunch and drinks, probably. Instruction will be available. The track has race-gas, air, corner workers, medical personell, etc. If you really want to get to know your car, and your fellow owners of 928's, you should get on the track with them both. You WILL learn something, and have a bunch of fun doing it. Thunderhill is a really safe track, no walls or trees or guardrails, nice and wide...I am sure the emphasis will be on saftey and fun... The atmosphere is very relaxed, great track workers, out in the country, but bring an umbrella(you all have one of those, right?) cause it's hot and not much shade. For a look at the track try their website at: . I just made the drive last weekend. 10 hours is a good figure from Portland. I took my GT on a trailer easily in that time. Thunderhill is about 2 1/2 hours from the shop( +/-). If there is interest, I can get a block of rooms at Willows, the little town about 5 miles from the track on I-5. I have stayed at a good motel with secure parking, a good resturant, pool, etc. and they are used to racers and groups. I plan on leaving Thurs. AM, fairly early, driving to Willows, having dinner and a good nights sleep, then the track for the day. Maybe on to Deveks that afternoon, or wait till the morning. Get in touch with me, for now, with questions. Deveks will be posting something to Rennlist when we get it all finalized, but in the mean time they don't need the extra work(leave them alone--they have to get my car done for Virginia City this weekend) Don Hanson |

I thought you worked in Seattle somewhere. I was just in the Magnolia store last week getting prices on HDTV's. If I had known that you were there I would have said hi. I have been wanting to get a hold of you anyway to discuss a new stereo in the shark. OK. So if everyone would post where they live and maybe the area they work in, it would be cool to be able to stop in and grab someone for lunch and the such.

Re: Shark Sighting
Adam,
lunch would actually work better for me too. being as i have to drive up to Sea-Tac later. 1:30 would be perfect. we are speaking of the one in South Hill behind the mall right? i'll try to bring my cousin along, he is a former 928 owner, he's had two of them also, but he's a BMW convert now. anyway, let me know what happens with everyone else, my schedule is pretty flexible...

Re: Shark Sighting
Adam,
Cool! looking forward to seeing you., i'm sure i can help you out and give you a good deal. good luck with the torque tube, and as for your other post, i have no idea how the engine will be affected. i would guess that a jack vertainly would not hurt though. better safe than sorry. where do you go for your t-belt adjustments? i've been going to Robert Larson Porsche on South Tacoma way but they are expe$sive! Bobby '91 GT |
Re: Shark Sighting
Adam,
Red Robin sounds good but have to pick up my girlfriend at Sea-Tac on Friday at 9:35pm so i have to leave by 9:25pm (he he just kidding.) how about 6:30 to 7:00pm? i'd love to see you guys and some other 928's around here, sometimes i feel like i'm the loner around here. by the way, Adam, i used to live in Puyallup, on 152nd and canyon, i know the area well. i'll keep my eye out for your car.

Re: Shark Sighting
Ray,
sorry, i don't do the foam injection, but there is a guy down the road from me that does. his store is called "The Packaging Store" he's at 54th and Steilacoom Blvd on the north side of the street. i hear he does good work, he deal a lot with bigger items like furniture etc... and freight. i don't have his number handy but i'm sure i can get it for you if you want....

Re: Shark Sighting
Tom,
Keep an eye out for a Purple GT on your way to Longview, thats one of my favorite drives along with the highway 7 to Mt. Raineer. sometimes, when its sunny, i just drive to one or the other, get there (insert bathroom break here)and turn around and head right back home, just for the drive. what a kick. maybe i'll see you sometime.

I have scheduled August 4-7 as time off, though I don't think I can make it down to Devek's area in 10 hours (about 830 miles). That's Friday through Monday for me, though I bet I can cut out a little early on Thursday. Curt -----Original Message-----

Don, are you thinking drive toDevek from Willows on Saturday morning, or the night before? We would want tobe at Devek early on Saturday, perhaps by 8:00 to get good parking. Itwill fill up fast. I was thinking of taking the Friday off and driving down (I checked last year and remember it being about 10hrs??). If we leave fairly early, we could be in town around 6:00 pm. Just in time to check in and hit the pre event gathering they usually have. I also remember that Inns of America had a block of rooms available at special rates????

911 and Porsche World
Hi All,
Just uploaded the scans of the 928 vs 996 article on my web site. It's slow to load and the text is a little fuzzy, but check it out and then go buy the May 2000 issue. Definetely worth the 5 bucks. Found my copy at Borders. Had about 5 or so copies left (downtown location). Here's the link Later, Tom midlman@... 87S4 |
