haven't seen one listed in a long time

Posted by: kg6dxn Aug 2 2010, 12:51 PM

I'm not sure but we should start something up. Rotate around the bay? Maybe have 4-5 locations in strategic locations.

Posted by: RobW Aug 2 2010, 12:52 PM

Jackstands
Kids
and some people run off and buy 964s?



What about beer Fridays?

Posted by: jeeperjohn56 Aug 2 2010, 03:37 PM

Hey Mike , Start one this month in San Ramon, Dublin, Walnut Creek, I'm in and few more would come. John

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 2 2010, 03:40 PM

Posted by: bfrymire Aug 2 2010, 07:48 PM

I'd be up for one. not sure which car I would bring... You guys would throw rocks at my other cars.

Well? Is someone going to step up and organize this?

Posted by: kg6dxn Aug 2 2010, 10:01 PM

OK!

Saturday 8-14-10

Max's Diner San Ramon

Be there at 9:14am

Max's is located at 2015 Crow Canyon Place. 680 Freeway exit at Crow Canyon Road. Turn East. Located right near the freeway accross from the Shell gas station.

Max's is an old school 50's style diner with a great menu.

Let's also find some similar places around the bay. Sound off if you know a good place to eat! If we have several go to spots, I think we will get different mambers to show up. We need a place is the South Bay, Peninsula, North Bay and Delta.

way to step up...

Sorry, I will be at the GGR AX at Marina on 8/14

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 2 2010, 10:18 PM

I'll be at work...

Posted by: zeezee Aug 2 2010, 10:27 PM

I'll be there!

Posted by: zx-niner Aug 2 2010, 10:31 PM

I'll be picking my 914 up at McMark's that morning after some minor work.

Although . . . if I can convince my wife to leave a bit earlier, we could get there for breakfast.

Posted by: BigD9146gt Aug 3 2010, 01:14 AM

I know it should be about the cars/owners, but if it was at Bobby's (85 and Saratoga/Sunnyvale) I'll be there. Those hash browns are unreal!

Posted by: matthepcat Aug 3 2010, 11:32 AM

They are delicious!

I think however most folks on 914world in the bay area are north bay/east bay.

Posted by: underthetire Aug 3 2010, 02:16 PM

Delta I vote for the Byron Cafe on mtn house road. Or ?

Posted by: DanT Aug 3 2010, 02:45 PM

I think there are more in the South Bay than you think

Posted by: bfrymire Aug 3 2010, 07:36 PM

sounding off for the south bay! We had many large turnouts for the IHOP in sunnyvale.

But, I do agree we need to move them around to give people in other areas a chance to go.

I could do a south bay breakfast too. I'd vote Southern Kitchen in Los Gatos if it is a small turn out. Mmm, chicken fried steak.

Posted by: bfrymire Aug 3 2010, 09:11 PM

Wherever is used, it MUST have a good sized parking lot. Half the fun is in the parking lot. Can't be scattered around on side streets. (I know of some good places in Campbell, but not a good parking lot. )

Posted by: kg6dxn Aug 3 2010, 09:26 PM

You south bay guys need to do some recon and find a good parking lot with decent food. Post a date ad time here. 8-21 is open. I added the 8-14 breakfast on the calendar link too. I don't care where it is. I'll drive there as long as it starts at 9:14.

Posted by: DanT Aug 3 2010, 09:30 PM

Country Inn in Almaden Valley has great food, good prices and a sizable parking lot.

Posted by: dem Aug 3 2010, 09:37 PM

Well damn, that makes it trickier to combine parking and good food.

Some decent places I go with parking:
Country Gourmet (85/Fremont Ave, Sunnyvale - huge parking lot adjacent)
Los Gatos Cafe Uptown (former Iron Skillet location, not downtown. shares a parking lot with a trader joe's)

Posted by: bfrymire Aug 3 2010, 11:36 PM

Love the Country Gourment. But, if I remember, there is quite line to get in...

There was a good place in Fremont. Dave Darling usually sets that one up. REALLY good parking lot, we can take a whole corner to ourselves...

Sure, wait until after I'm gone to start the breakfasts again. I get it!

Posted by: jeeperjohn56 Aug 4 2010, 04:00 AM

I'm up for any date, but which one is the one date. Is it 8-14 or the 8-21. John

Posted by: kg6dxn Aug 4 2010, 08:12 AM

8-14 in San Ramon. The South Bay guys need to decide on a place before that one is scheduled. I think we could get a system down and have a breakfast somewhere every weekend. It would get people out of the house and meet members.

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Aug 4 2010, 09:11 AM

I started hosting the saturday 9:14 breakfasts about 8-10 years ago in the San Jose area and they have always been fun. We usually held them monthly back then. The bay area is so large geographically and there are 914 owners everywhere from Napa to the East bay to the Peninsula to San Jose and beyond, that either people have to be willing to drive to attend a single breakfast location, or they should host one in their own neighborhood. There is no one-size-fits-all location that everyone will find convenient. Its OK.

We originally tried to rotate around the bay each month, North Bay, East Bay, Peninsula, South Bay...so everyone would be accommodated. That worked, sort of. Usually, most people didn't want to drive if they were far away, they just attended their local events. Eitherway...whatever works for you individually.

You host it, you get to pick the spot/date.

I see Mike Bellis is hosting one in San Ramon on Aug 14...make it if you can unless he reschedules it, if not, hold session somewhere else under your terms, just don't overlap the dates.

PS, Its always good to schedule it several weeks even a month or two out. I tried to set it always as the __th week of the month so there was consistency and people could plan. It never works if you propose a date that is only a week or two out, few will show up, most people are already committed elsewhere by then.

Posted by: realred914 Aug 4 2010, 11:00 AM

hows about a drive?

Posted by: jeeperjohn56 Aug 5 2010, 05:40 AM

I'll be there for 8-14 San ramon, what do you say Lennie? want meet up? John

Posted by: Cairo94507 Aug 5 2010, 07:25 AM

I will come to the 8/14 meeting at Max's in San Ramon. I would be in my Prius.....don't laugh, because my six is on dollies in the garage. But I would enjoy meeting people and seeing other 914's. I have to drop my wife's car off in Livermore to have the pano-roof tinted at Rocky Mountain Window Tinting at 8:00 and will be at Max's directly after that, should be on time. See you then.

Posted by: GTeener Aug 5 2010, 12:57 PM

9:14a rarely ever works for me on a Saturday. Sunday works better for me but I don't have my car back yet, so it doesn't matter for this month anyway

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 24 2010, 05:09 PM

Time for another breakfast!

Posted by: DanT Nov 24 2010, 05:15 PM

where and when Andy?

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 24 2010, 05:17 PM

Dunno. What about that place in Fremont? Can't remember where or what it was, but the parking lot was big enough and the food decent ...

Andy

Posted by: DanT Nov 24 2010, 05:26 PM

you talking about the pancake place?

Posted by: DanT Nov 24 2010, 05:28 PM

Breakfast on Black Friday? If there's no retail store near the restaurant, the parking will be empty

Now seriously, I'm in for a weekend breakfast, any weekend. Love to meet some teeners.

Posted by: mightyohm Nov 24 2010, 05:39 PM

Wish I could be there. Have fun, guys.

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 24 2010, 05:45 PM

Yepp, that's the one!

I don't think i can make this friday. Any other suggestions for a date & time?

Posted by: dem Nov 24 2010, 07:38 PM

The guy who suggested it should pick the date! Pick a day, Andy! You have the power!

That being said, I am surprisingly free both this weekend and next.

Posted by: bfrymire Nov 25 2010, 01:33 AM

I think that is one of the better places to do it. Hope the date works out.

How about Saturday the 4th? I don't plan on having a Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion this month due to the busy Christmas season but if you guys have it the 4th of December, I might have to figure out how to get down there on time for the 9:14am chow time. Then, off to Mark's for some engine wrenching...

You know the shop is closed on Saturdays!

Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 30 2010, 03:35 PM

Window is broken. You just reach in and turn the handle...

Posted by: Lennies914 Nov 30 2010, 08:13 PM

Did somebody mention breakfast? Is it this Saturday?

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 30 2010, 08:41 PM

We could do this Saturday. Anyone?

Posted by: JimN73 Nov 30 2010, 08:44 PM

Saturday will work. I think that the electrical gremlins will be taken care of by then.

Ideas?

Posted by: biosurfer1 Nov 30 2010, 08:47 PM

hm...might be able to make saturday

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 30 2010, 09:05 PM

Alright, i'll start a new thread ...

Posted by: Jenny Jan 17 2011, 03:54 AM

Is there a breakfast planned for this month? Haven't checked in with you guys in ages, and would love to see some familiar faces.

Posted by: Brent Jan 17 2011, 04:27 AM

Jenny! Hows being a mommy?

Posted by: SirAndy Jan 17 2011, 11:43 AM

Nothing as of yet, but you are welcome to volunteer and pick a place and date ...

Posted by: Jenny Jan 17 2011, 12:37 PM

Being a mommy is so great, I've decided to do it twice!

That being said, there is very little I volunteer for nowadays. School's starting back up in just over a week, and I take care of both a toddler as well as my parents. I'm friends with a bunch of world members on fb, but still manage to be out of the loop when it comes to social gatherings. Trying to get back into it, but I'm not sure how often I'll be able to check the forum. If I disappear here, can someone message my lazy ass on fb to let me know about the breakfasts?

Posted by: McMark Jan 17 2011, 01:27 PM

I'll try to be better about nagging you.
