Family tree

As a young man, I really wanted one of those.

It was that exact color and had the 6. Chatted a bit with him and the guy in the particularly tasty signal orange longnose Targa behind him at the next stoplight.

Porsche club of America outing with BS in the flagship

[Mazderati]

There was an orange 914-6 widebody I used to see at autocrosses. Cool looking car.

Ditched the original straight run chainlink for a quarantine courtyard. Project in progress... does anyone have pics of any exciting original like inset form/ed concrete paver situation to spark ideas? The potted maple will post up on one in that corner for instance. Slight graded change to play. Planned for mostly grass surround and some washed gravel.

You're in Western WA, right? Have you been out to Marenokos? They have great stone and some lovely displays to get ideas from.

Good call. I have been there before. It’s been a few years but have bought boulders and rock there. Will get refreshed. The vision has a clean design complimentary to mid century, just haven’t cemented it yet.

When I was a kid the guy at the end of my street had a signal orange 6 widebody with the fake racecar motif. My dad used to say it was 'just a VW with better PR', but that thing didn't sound like any VW I had ever heard.

Isn't that the Karmann Ghia? Although I suppose it could be said for the 914, too.

This was southern California in the 80s. Even the 944 was barely considered a Porsche.

Here's a weird bit of trivia I know from messing around with old VWs: Type 3 Fastbacks/Notchbacks, Type 3(4) Karmann Ghias, and 914s were built on the same line in the same factory.

And they brought in the Turkish crew at night to build the VWs?

I was on one side of the house and Kedar went chasing something off the property and I didn’t give it a second thought. Some dumbass like in the schindlerpiste photo obviously walked up my driveway and left me nice little gifts. Too bad one of them didn’t get bucked off and break an arm or something.

Anyone else been enjoying the Friday night Shakedown Street and Saturday One More Saturday Night streams and commentary?

[plugboots]

Nope. S. Korean baseball.

C-17s Over Seattle


62nd Airlift Wing C-17s out of JBLM flew over Western Washington today to honor those on the COVID-19 front lines.

There was a whole bunch of old ww2 birds that flew over mid day yesterday most likely part of Allens fleet from Paine

Nice morning for a paddle.

Those were actually from the Cascade Warbirds based in Arlington. I believe they flew down to JBLM to flyover the base before the C-17s took off.

Do you guys ever see C5 Galaxys? I think that they are larger and faster than C17. When I was living in Germany, we used to hear those things thunder in the sky all day long.

Yes, they are gigantic. We don't have any based in Washington. The C-17 was designed as a replacement for the C-141. It's a much more versatile aircraft than the C-5 due to its STOL capability.
