We're gonna do it again! Free swap spaces, late morning BBQ and lots of 914 enthusiasts make this one of the best swap meets around. Location is in Riverside now at my shop; Precision Motion, 1177A Ardmore St. Right off the Columbia exit from the 215/91 fwy. Feel free to email me with questions or directions. Start time is 8am since we have to set the clocks forward an hour that morning. Date is Sunday, 4-4-04. A $5 donation is requested to help cover costs for those who partake in the food . Hope to see you there, Glenn a914luvr@sbcglobal.net (909)784-0425 is the # at my shop.

Just curious. How many teeners showed up last year?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 17 2004, 05:36 PM

was lots of fun last year...should be there again this time. id say maybe 10-20 showed up...

Posted by: Gint Mar 17 2004, 09:35 PM

I need one of the new t-shirts anyway. Good enough excuse for a road trip? I know, I know, I've said it before. I've yet to make a D&G. Maybe this year is it.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 17 2004, 09:36 PM

come on GINT!!!! go for it!

Posted by: Duffster Mar 17 2004, 11:47 PM

Since we all got totally smoked out last fall, (them fahrs was baaaad!) and still had a pretty good time, the 4th sounds like a good time. Hope I get to go...

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 18 2004, 12:37 AM

Glenn always has a good turnout. It would be *beneficial* to you to attend this event.

It would be *beneficial* for me to attend, too... but that ain't gonna happen.

Can someone pick me up a t-shirt (size L)?

thanks,
-Rusty

Posted by: Gint Mar 18 2004, 01:45 PM

Rusty, if I go and Glenn has t-shirts available, I will buy you one for sure. I'm looking into being able to make the trip. I should know for sure in a couple of days.

Posted by: morphenspectra Mar 18 2004, 01:58 PM

im going even if i dont bring parts.to see what i can buy for my business. but ill prob bring parts (if i can build a stock got this nasty problem with everything selling ) we found a sound body for a race car, will be looking for parts for it, or even contacts for racing info.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 18 2004, 03:15 PM

Posted by: Dave_Darling Mar 18 2004, 03:26 PM

Maybe. If you don't mind working to my f-ed up schedule... I've got to see where I am with everything for that weekend, though.

I went last year and had a great time. I picked up a vdo clock for about $5. The fires were bad and I made the mistake of leaving the roof off. Lottsa ash. I think Bowlsby was there and there were a few nice 914 8s. Great "T" shirts and the BBQ was good. I won't make it this year gotta work.
Cheers, Elliot

Posted by: morphenspectra Mar 18 2004, 09:18 PM

sorry guys got shot down hard!!! my wife has made other plans that week.(musta forgot something important she wasnt happy)no trip
no trip to cali for me

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 18 2004, 09:21 PM

DD,

I can work around any F-'d scheduling you may have. I just dont want/cant afford to drive the truck down with gas prices where they currently stand.

Posted by: bernbomb914 Mar 19 2004, 01:08 AM

I hope to be there also. I was out of the country last oct but have made the two before and it is worth while. good food and great parts selection, there have been some very nice 914s there to see also

Posted by: VegasRacer Mar 19 2004, 05:18 AM

I'll do my best to make it. The odds are 50/50 if I can get off from work.

Posted by: VegasRacer Mar 26 2004, 01:58 PM

Bump and Woo-Hoo.

I was able to get the day off of work.
Be there or be square. (don't forget to bring your square car)

Posted by: Gint Mar 27 2004, 01:28 AM

I'm there! Time off is approved, rental beater arrangements will be made tomorrow. I'll be in town Saturday to drop wheels off at Al Reed's shop.

What are we doing Saturday night?

Lawrence: T-shirt is a done deal if Glenn has them available. Shoot me an email with your mailing address.

Posted by: lagunero Mar 27 2004, 04:44 PM

A Saturday night get together sounds great.

Who knows of a good spot? Where in relation to Riverside would everyone prefer?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 28 2004, 01:01 AM

I'm out. I was asked to crew for a race at Buttonwillow that weekend. I'll be 3/4 of the way there. If we break something serious I'll make it ..LOL

Posted by: Gint Mar 28 2004, 01:03 AM

That's too bad. I'll bring this battery tray and support and see if a NorCal guy shows up that can bring it up to you.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 28 2004, 01:10 AM

Give it to DD. He will be there.


B

Posted by: Gint Mar 28 2004, 01:11 AM

Will do.

Posted by: Gint Mar 31 2004, 11:01 PM

Well!?!?!?! Anybody?

Saturday night? Isn't there a Hooters in SanBerdoo?

I'm hittin the road Friday morning at 06:00 I'll be in town droppin off wheels at Al Reed's at 0900 Saturday.

Posted by: Duffster Mar 31 2004, 11:27 PM

Gint...

Closest one is in Ontario about 3 miles from the airport.

Posted by: seanery Apr 1 2004, 08:15 AM

Gint,
SoCal isn't too Hooter's friendly. I was living in LA when the one in Santa Monica opened. It was like they put a sex & bondage club up next to a school. People really didn't like the idea. I didn't/don't get it. It's chicken wings and beer.

Posted by: Gint Apr 1 2004, 11:23 AM

OK, but it doesn't have to be Hooters. I guess SoCal 914 guys getting together for dinner and a few brews is blase. Or is it just me?

Posted by: Dave_Darling Apr 1 2004, 11:36 AM

No can do... I'll be visiting with other friends in the LA basin. But I'll be there for the swap, and if someone knows where to get some brews (and maybe some hooters? ) afterward, I'll be happy to go along!

Ugh, I may wind up leaving home at 6 AM on Friday as well! Logistics sometimes really suck...

--DD

Posted by: lagunero Apr 1 2004, 01:49 PM

I asked earlier in the thread and no one offered, so if y'all want to get together in Orange County we do have several options here.

Posted by: Gint Apr 1 2004, 02:11 PM

Name 'em! I'm in. If all else fails, call my cell 720-480-2540 anytime Saturday. I'll be in town.

Posted by: jkeyzer Apr 1 2004, 02:31 PM

I was thinking about going but now I am not so sure. Work is taking priority.

Posted by: Gint Apr 1 2004, 07:36 PM

Got my rental beater. Nice little Mazda 6. 4 banger, decent power, good mileage, cruise, OK stereo, auto-stick, trunk big enough to hold four Fuchs (3 with tires). 06:00 tomorrow I'm outa here.

Who's got some 914 garage action going Saturday afternoon? Lunch? Dinner? Beers? I don't live there, you're gonna have to help me out here.

Posted by: lagunero Apr 1 2004, 10:22 PM

sounds like we are going to the movies instead!

O.k. Fudrucker's in Lake Forest has good burgers, ample parking and muscle cars.

Cook's Corner is on Santiago Canyon Rd. just north of Irvine, some twisties in the dark and Harley crowd (but we can take 'em)

Hooter's in Newport Beach/Balboa and a ton of cool hangouts from Seal Beach to Laguna Beach but earlier arrival for parking spots requiered cuz' everybody has a toy to show off!
Most happenings are Fri. nite or Sat. early a.m.

I'll call you tomorrow afternoon.

Almost forgot, gangsta' cruisin' on Bristol in Santa Ana

Posted by: Gint Apr 1 2004, 10:29 PM

Cool! I won't be doing anything but driving tomorrow anyway, phone plugged in and charged.

Posted by: weird_looking_cactus Apr 1 2004, 10:37 PM

I wish I could go to something like this don't think my parents would let me drive out of state but. hey ginter I drive a mazda 626 and love it. But not as much as my broken porsche though that soon to be fixed.

Posted by: lagunero Apr 1 2004, 10:43 PM

Hey Cactus, here's your chance to prove that you are really a bad kid! So head down here and don't worry about any fake ID's cuz' where we're going they don't need no stinkin' badges!!











just kidding

Posted by: weird_looking_cactus Apr 1 2004, 10:47 PM

I guess I forgot to say I have to work friday and saturday so sunday is my only day off. I have to pay for this 914 some how.

Posted by: SLITS Apr 1 2004, 11:24 PM

Hell, just sneak out in the middle of the night like we all used to.

As one teener owner put it

"it's easier to get forgiven than it is to get permission"

I can't sneak anymore. My bones creak to loudly.

Posted by: Gint Apr 2 2004, 07:26 AM

I'm on my way, right now. See you guys Saturday/Sunday.

Posted by: Sammy Apr 2 2004, 09:17 AM

Hay. Iffn yo get here late tonight we won't be able to do much except BS in hte garage, but tomorrow morning I'll be heading to the OCR/PCA breakfast meeting at Hof's Hut in Tustin to show off the turbo-ized 911. http://www.pcaocr.org/images/breakfast_club.jpg I know it says the 5th but that's a typo, It's always the first saturday of the month.

Good show, usually between 75 and 100 porsches show up. Wine and cheese crowd, Mostly tail draggers but a few 914s make it.
Good people too. you're invited iffn it doesn't interfere with your Al Reed drop off.

Posted by: Gint Apr 3 2004, 01:35 PM

Lots of P-cars and Sammy and I got free breakfast! you can't beat that.

My last time on the board until I get home probably. Albert is going to call me after noon and we'll get make arrangements to get together tonight. Hopefully Albert will post here.

my cell again is 720-480-2540

Posted by: 415PB Apr 3 2004, 10:09 PM
