914World.com _ 914World Garage _ The Official "I need a tow to Moab" convoy thread
Posted by: SLITS Aug 21 2010, 09:32 AM
Hah ... I told you I don't trust /6s after my last experience ... anyway ..
I plan on leaving Riverslime about 3 PM at the latest on Thur Sep 9th. Plan is to make Mesquite, NV sometime that nite. I have a room booked at the Virgin River Resort ( $25.00 + tax greed) to break the trip to Moab. Mileage is 319 miles
Plan on departing Mesquite about 7 AM on the 10th (after breakfast) to make Moab 
about 2 - 3 PM in the afternoon. Mileage is 378 miles.
I only stop to pee and get gas. If someone is whining, I may stop for a quick fast food snack ... none of those leisurely hour lunches for me.
If you want to join me ... bring a rope to tow me as /6s are really unreliable.

Need a toe tow? My religion does not allow I drive through Beaver, it is a breach of the 40 virgeen cuntract. You will be on your own SLOTS!
Posted by: SLITS Aug 21 2010, 10:40 AM
I see you assume that Virgeens really do exist in Utah 
As far as Beaver .......... It'll be a quickie

Well Eric .... since you live in the "Land of The Glowing Desert", you will never live to see beach front property.

Don't need a /6 - I did 126 mph (downhill) on I-15 through the Virgin River Gorge at midnight-ish in my 73 914-2.0 one Sept. back in the day, on my way to a Rugby Tournament in Park City!

When You say Rvsd you mean at your shop, right?
Posted by: SLITS Aug 22 2010, 07:34 AM
Yeppers .........
Could also form up anywhere on I-15.
I did 126 in my 4, but the six will do that going UPHILL .... easily 
I have another 4 but it is not "Prime Time Ready" as yet.

I'll be there by 2pm so I can sober up a little before we go. Hey Andy, you following this?

I thought you had been participating Ron, but those rooms really are 24.99. I got one poolside.

Time to bring this back to the front of the line. Just in case there are any new attendee's from the SoCal area. It would be neat if we could connect w/ the AZ coalition and arrive Moab as a large flight of 914's. 
Posted by: SLITS Aug 30 2010, 08:26 PM
Thanks for finding it ....
Choices of meeting places @ this point:
1.) The Shop
2.) Silverwood cutoff on I15
3.) Marie Calendars in Victorville
4.) Mesquite, NV
It's kinda nice on a 700 mile trek to have a few within cell range. There is usually a problem somewhere that requires attention. Hopefully not though.
Oh, Didn't look at an alternate route to try & meet the AZ peeps. If it has anything to do with going near Torrey, UT .... I ain't doing that road again out of Hurricane and into the wilderness ......
/L is going, but don't know when she is leaving. Joe & Betsy will be rolling too, but can't remember what Joe told me. 
Rique & SO want to run together or just meet in Mesquite.
I will be leaving the Shop no later than 3 PM (hopefully 2:30) on Thursday. Cell is (951) Seven Five One Three Five Eight Four. If another number pops up, I may have it forwarded to my other cell.
That's my part other than "Oh Sacred Gods of Porsche ... Get me there and back ... " 
As far as meeting up with AZ peeps, I haven't looked at an alternative route. If it has anything to do with going thru Hurricane, the one mile tunnel and anywhere near Torrey, UT ..... count me out
Posted by: 76-914 Aug 30 2010, 08:55 PM
RiqueMar wants to join up w/ us. He's coming thru here noonish then it's to Kansas to join up w/ you and whomever. So..............we should roll in there by 1pm and if you wanted to leave earlier, it's OK, too.
Posted by: SLITS Aug 30 2010, 09:20 PM
Ok, I'll see if I can manage to bail before 2.

It would be neat if we could connect w/ the AZ coalition and arrive Moab as a large flight of 914's. Well if you are coming across I-40, through Flagstaff, Mike & I will be leaving Friday morning. Our route takes us to Tuba City, Kayenta, Monument Valley, then North to Moab.
Posted by: RiqueMar Aug 31 2010, 12:01 AM
If it helps I can leave later so people can have more time, doesnt really matter to me.

I would think that adds to your drive. However, iffin you decide to do so, we are leaving Thursday going up through Flagstaff and staying Thursday night in Kayenta. We'll leave there Friday morning. Hopefully Ernie and Mike get out of Flagstaff early and head up with us!

As much as I would like to follow your trailer 
, Flag is a bit out of the way ...
I admit that I-15 to I-70 and across is really boring, but ......

Hey old man! I am driving this year. Now Jason IS towing but since the guy is 6' 6", 220, I ain't saying a word about it.

Yeah, I thought I'd be the support vehicle for this trip..
Someone needs to bring the cooler, cerveza, water, chairs and other parking lot accessories!Honestly, I'm a bit concerned about driving the teener thru FENIX then uphill 6000 feet in 100F heat. Oh yeah, the truck has A/C and Sirius too.
Posted by: Sleepin Aug 31 2010, 02:46 PM
You only said cerveza once. 
Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 31 2010, 04:42 PM
...but he also said "accessories"

SHEESH!!
Posted by: SLITS Aug 31 2010, 05:58 PM
Cerveza is for wussys
Cassadores only or Cassadores solimente.
Unless
"I can see for miles and miles and miles .... Ooooooo yeaaah!"

Tequila is an event staple. However, this year I'm not sure if Joe will want us in his new Neverland palace.

Don't let Joe see you drinking Patron.. he'll kick you out of his camper!

There can be only one Tequila. If it does not have a Buck on the front of the bottle...don't let Joe see it.

I think this is a good time to mention that I'm Mexican, and thus, completely immune to Tequila

I am not immune but I do find that I become an expert on every subject when I consume enough.

No problema, mijo. If your caravaning w/ us I'll just tell them your mid eastern gathering intel. That ought to get you thru AZ.

OK, so here we are w/ < 4 days to go, so let's bump this up one more time for those SoCal'ers that may want to help tow Ron to the RRC. Just remember that if anyone asks; Ron was pushing you with a stiff rope. Wed will be wash, pack, oil change, check tire pressure and try to sleep that nite. See you guys at Ron's. Enrique, I'll call you Tues or Wed to confirm our trip up to Ron's.

BTW, congrats on your 500th post

Hey Rick, thx. We can meet at the Murrieta Hot Springs exit on IH 15. It will be the first exit past the 79N / Winchester Rd. exit. Turn right on Murrieta Hot Spgs then immediatly on the right is a gas/convenience store (may be an AM/PM, not sure) You can't miss it. I'll be in the parking lot. In case there are more 914's, I'll be in the white one. Llamame "sal y pimienta". 1:00pm ?
Posted by: Sleepin Sep 6 2010, 01:16 PM
Ron was pushing you with a stiff rope.
I figured that Ron was way too old to do that!
Glad I won't be the only white 914 there!
Posted by: RiqueMar Sep 6 2010, 01:39 PM
Sounds cool. I'll leave here at noon, so yeah, between 1 and 1:30. I only say that because I don't know what the 76 will look like at that time.
I'll be in the black 75'
