Andy's car puts out more HP out of one of his exhausts than I do out of both of mine

Will try and make it. Even without the DMV getting me my tags for my original plates after three months.
Unless, of course, it rains. Cannot get myself to drive it in the wet after the numerous rust kills I have done.

I think that though McMark is going to wuss out and not open his shop on Saturday that I will drive down and try out the Fremont Pancakes. Oh, and in a 914...
Posted by: dem Dec 1 2010, 08:11 AM
My wife is in vegas.. might as well hang with the 914 crowd.. I'll be there.
Actually with the 914 maybe, depending if I get my carbs working again. Or I can drive there at full throttle to stay off the idle jets. Probably dangerous.

Well, then pick up McMark and bring him with you ...

Wish I could carbo-load with you guys, but I'll be racing at the 24 Hours of Lemons in Buttonwillow instead
Our 1969 Opel GT will be making its second Lemons race. The car is kinda like my high school football team -- small, but slow...

Pretty good, actually ...
If you can make it, please bring the title with you. Otherwise, my lazy ass will probably never get around to pick it up.

I totally missed this one, just got my voicemail last night from Lennie
Oh, well, still recovering from the flu anyway. That will teach me not to get the free flu shot at work.

I got my free flu shot from work and I felt like crap for the following 4 or 5 days. I also heard that Obama is putting stuff in the shot to make us liberals... it has not worked...

Good times, nice to see everyone!
Posted by: SirAndy Dec 4 2010, 02:56 PM
Made it back home. Only got a few drops of H2O on the way ...
Good seeing everyone. I know a few guys took pictures, so hopefully they'll be posted here shortly.
Posted by: Lennies914 Dec 4 2010, 03:08 PM
Made it home. It was a good showing. Hopefully someone will post some pics.
Posted by: dem Dec 4 2010, 03:19 PM
Good time, good meeting everyone.
Just barely a sprinkle - enough that I thought I'd skip the car wash.. then 1/3 of the home, something splattered across the entire windshield that appeared to be wet concrete(!?!?)
Turns out it was a bird with severe digestive problems, distributing in a fine spray across the hood & windshield. Car wash engaged!
Posted by: McMark Dec 4 2010, 03:47 PM
Had a great time catching up. I thought it was going to rain on us, but it wasn't bad. A little sprinkle and that was it.
Great pancakes!

Hahaha, after i pulled out and got to the first light i was like, damn what's that smell? Oh, tire! You can actually hear the rpm go up as the tires start spinning ...
I still run the spare from the WCR in Tahoe in the left rear. That tire is at least 10 years old ...
Posted by: ONTHEGRIND Dec 4 2010, 06:41 PM
I should have taken a picture of the tire mark it was over 100 feet ..

Twas a good breakfast with good people. Hope to do it again next month.
Does anyone do the Euro Sunday events. I'm going to try to go to some next year.

Hey guys!
It's great to see some familiar cars and faces in the photos! I haven't run into too many 914 guys in Austin. Seeing all the cars makes me more than a little homesick! Glad you had a great turnout, I do miss those Swedish pancakes...
