Bringing this to the top! Hope the weather is good next Saturday, although I'll come even if it rains. Took her out today for just a quick run, she isn't running so good-something in the weber carbs we think. Wonder what that is going to cost me. See ya next weekend.

Or is there a bunch going that haven't posted?

Posted by: seanery Mar 28 2004, 04:07 PM

hey, you guys know this is the same day as the tweeks thing. It's not the porsche only one, but I'm sure they'll be a big turnout.

Posted by: eresener Mar 28 2004, 05:19 PM

Nope didn't know that. O'well I'm still going to Hooters. Effingham is a bit of a drive 3+ hrs for me.
Now if they were still in Indy, it would be a different story.



Not sure, my wife isn't going. Not that she doesn't want to but our little guys bedtime is 8 - 8:30pm
and trust me he needs his sleep.

My husband was Tom's assistant in college, he is probably wrong, but thats OK. Maybe it will be 80 and sunny.

Weather report is looking better mid 50's & Sun for Saturday

- Garold

PS The daily bump!

Posted by: blonde914 Mar 31 2004, 11:30 PM

50's is warm enough for me!! All I need is a little sun!! We are in MN right now but will be back on Friday. The weather here sucks, but it is a cool 70 degrees in Mall of America. Wish I liked Malls.

BUMP

Looking forward to meeting some other 914ers tomorrow. I will bring my digital camera and post pics on Sunday.

PS Bump

Well, we had a nice night out, grand total of 5 loyal 914 owners including:

Blonde914 (Sherry)
Blonde914's husband
itsa914 (Garold)
Bill Shaw (from Kalamazoo, Michigan)
Chris H. (me)

It was nice to meet you all and share a few stories. Garold, did any of the pics turn out? It was DAMN cold outside but we got a few 'teeners lined up for a pic or two. Everyone make it home OK?

Chris H.

Posted by: itsa914 Apr 4 2004, 09:05 PM

Yep I gots pics. As soon as the wife is done with the home computer I will post the pics. Had a great time hope to do it again next month and maybe a few more can attend.

- Garold

Posted by: Bill Shaw Apr 4 2004, 09:15 PM

Made it home fine, but the time change nearly did me in. Hit Kalamazoo at 3:15 A.M.! Glad Hooters was down South. Had a great time, but next time I'll get the hotter wings. Thanks for organizing this and hop to see more 'teeners next visit. Maybe I'll even get the bumpers on to celebrate.

Posted by: Chris H. Apr 4 2004, 09:22 PM

Great to hear Bill. Your car looked pretty good even without the bumpers. Nice paint. Now that I see both of yours I am finally going to bring the nose of mine down a bit.

I bet if we set the date a little farther out we could get a few more people and cars to turn out. I've met a few real nice folks recently that would probably come.

Posted by: itsa914 Apr 4 2004, 09:31 PM

Would you want to do a 9:14 breakfast? like at IHOP or something. Or does dinner work better but lets try for 6pm? I was thinking like May 8th or 15th?

- Garold

Posted by: GWN7 Apr 4 2004, 09:39 PM

I think May 15th is the long weekend

Posted by: itsa914 Apr 4 2004, 09:54 PM

Maybe in Canada, but Labor day long weekend is May 1st here in the States.

-Garold

Posted by: blonde914 Apr 4 2004, 11:23 PM

Had a great time. Loved everyones cars. Scott was glad we didn't bring mine, he would have been embarrased by how the engine looked compared to your cars. I think it was just what he needed to be motivated to do some work on her himself. First he has to get the carbs right. He didn't stop talking about the cars all the way home. Like I told Garold, he understands now my passion about my car and this club and how much support and help there is out there if you just ask.

Thanks guys, I look forward to the next get together.
Sherry

Posted by: Chris H. Apr 5 2004, 07:25 AM

Yeah Garold I think a breakfast might be even better. Less crowds, and easier to see the cars. May 15th is no good for me though. The 8th looks fine.

Posted by: itsa914 Apr 5 2004, 08:28 AM

OK lets do a Windy City 9:14 breakfast at the IHOP on La Grange Rd in Orland Park? If we are going to do this monthly then lets pick a Saturday, something like the first Saturday of the month? Since May 1st is part of the labor day weekend would the 8th be better?

- Garold

Posted by: Chris H. Apr 5 2004, 09:14 AM

Cool! I think that's great Garold. How about we do the next one in Orland Park 5/8, then we can pick a different spot at that time to mix it up a bit if everyone wants to. If we have some folks come from the north maybe we go up a bit next time. Or we can just come to your house and pick through your parts .

Besides us 5 I know there are 914 clubbers in:

Bolingbrook
Morris
Long Grove
Buffalo Grove
Arlington Heights
Gurnee


And many others I missed.

Posted by: itsa914 Apr 5 2004, 09:32 AM

Yep I had a message on the Bird from Howard Henneman, he missed the 3rd but is looking forward to our next one.

So in my mind its a done deal. I will start a new thread but the details would be:

Windy City 9:14 Breakfast May 8th

IHOP at 14860 S. La Grange Road
Orland Park, IL 60462-3229

(708) 873-0760

Rain or shine
