Posted by: seanery Apr 19 2003, 02:30 PM

Looks like fun and a good turnout!

Posted by: RustyWa Apr 19 2003, 02:56 PM

Dang you're fast there Dave. Here's a couple of more shots... Unfortunately one car had already left by the time I started taking photos.

HA! You know as I was previewing that photo....I did happen to notice that...

Posted by: tryan Apr 19 2003, 04:05 PM

first time i have a 914 with cookie cutters.

looks like a good time.

Posted by: seanery Apr 19 2003, 05:24 PM

the silver cookies actually look pretty good on a teener, huh?!

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Apr 19 2003, 10:34 PM

Looks like you guys had some fun. No yellow (fastest) cars in that group?

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 19 2003, 11:01 PM

The guy with a yellow 914 was a no show. The red car with white cookies is Zachs. The Nepal orange car/primer with black & silver cookies is mine.
Dave, I was noticing your wife is looking good for just (2 months ago) having a baby.

Yeah, the sun came out and so did the women joggers and rollerbladers. Good spot to park. Back in JP's day they used to cruz up and down Alki, burning out. Now with all the fancy condos you can't do that. But it still is a great place to watch women!

If we'd been there, it would have been 13 914s in a row?.. a baker's dozen.

We left the house at about 8:45, looking forward to having coffee and danishes at Alki. When we got to Island Crest and 40th, the engine died and I couldn't re-start it. We pushed the car to a church parking lot, and waited for the tow truck. By the time we got home at about 9:30, we were feeling pretty down, so I made pancakes and coffee. Life goes on. We'll be at the next event, wherever and whenever it is. Thank you for posting all the pictures.. they are wonderful!

Hey korijo,
is that your orange car?
What kind of seats are those?

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Apr 20 2003, 01:20 AM

Nope... Dont know who's

Corbeau seats, tho

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 08:37 AM

Reverie,

It seems that happens to at least 1 guy every time, huh?!
I bet we don't hear about it as often as it happens

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 08:44 AM

Atleast no one pulled a "jenny" when we drove along Alki. Lots of stares and pointing fingers though.
Yeah, there is ALWAYS one guy who no shows for some phony reason ie: the car wouldn't start, ran outta gas, flat tire, CHT puked....
Dave had the only wife/girlfriend who showed up! My chickened out at the last monment...
No one has seen Roger's yellow car yet or even seen pics so I have to put him in the "wanna be club" with Kevin, Korijo, DD and the list goes on......
Geoff

Posted by: street legal go-kart Apr 20 2003, 08:45 AM

good morning all
cant find those seats on line dave.
are they a recent purchase ?
i didnt see a car with rivereas
i guess i should change to the early 2.0 wheel before i embarase my self
i love seeing so many cars still on the road
im lucky if i see a porsche a week
although i did play chase with a lady in her 60's on the way home on fri nite in a 69 911s
she was driving!!
jt

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 20 2003, 11:48 AM

that stinking list is longer than most would imagine or admit to being on. i'm going to start tracking the "car won't start when hot", "where's my first gear?", "ran great til i tuned it up" etc.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Apr 20 2003, 12:27 PM

HOLY COW Geoff...

Great turnout for your first breakfast (with 914 people)

How many where from the 914lcub BBS ???

Damn.. wish I could have made it. I spent all day finishing up Julius and delivering it.

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 20 2003, 12:34 PM

brad, i know you asked geoff. between the 914 and 911 folks prob 25 to 30 people. 12 cars were in my pictures but a few had already left due to prior commitments. good exchange of info. by the sounds of alot of the talk, i wish i had the megasquirt franchise. kudos to geoff on a job well done.

It looks like you guys OWNED the place!

I bet they were happy you showed up!

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 05:48 PM

We did own the place!
It was empty when I showed up cuz the weather wasn't all that great.
Worked out pretty well all in all. Joe filmed the event and needs someplace to post the video if that can be done. I saw the basic footage this morning at Dim sum with him.

i bid $10......

Posted by: ChrisReale Apr 20 2003, 05:52 PM

You should have seen Dave's son Keone pimpin' this little girl. She was totally into him, but he was more interested in the 914club sticker. Dave told him to blow her a kiss when she and her mom left, but Keone didn't give her the pleasure!

Posted by: Bruce Allert Apr 20 2003, 10:59 PM

Geoff, your family picture is great, it's not crappy. You caught all of them (at that moment) being happy. Not only did you catch the moment but you caught (in focus) the person that is holding up under all that is going on in HER family with a smile. So far, it IS the best picture yet.
Kori Jo... you hang in there Girl. You are the "rock" of the family. I am glad I finally met you and Dave and had a chance to talk to you guys. I'll be checking on what we discussed at the table.

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 11:02 PM

You got her to talk to you! Boy she doesn't say much when I am around, but she seems pretty damn nice.
Geoff

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Apr 20 2003, 11:12 PM

That was after a nights rest. She is tired most of the time, so not much chit chat around dinner time.
Its not ALL my fault

Posted by: Bruce Allert Apr 20 2003, 11:15 PM

Yes, she is very nice and has a good head on her shoulders. She's got 3 to take care of and seems to be doing a grand job. There's alot of paper work involved with all that is happening. Like I mentioned to Kori Jo, I went thru the same thing with my late wife. You just need to stay focused and you need someone to talk to... someone that will listen.

Hey..I resemble that remark
Right On Geoff I wish I coulda been there. We returned from Orlando later that day.
Got a wicked sunburn from spending the previous day at Disneys Typhoon Lagoon
In my own defense I did offer my car to a bud if he'd represent.. but he declined

Too Cool, what a great turn-out! I'd have been there but I was out of town (that's my excuse and I'm stick'n to it).
Was there any talk about making this a monthly event?
Kudo's to Geoff for getting all those NW914's out of their moss covered yurts!

Posted by: seanery Apr 21 2003, 01:12 PM

are there yurts in seattle?

I've heard of them in central ca.

it takes a different kind of person to live in a yurt!

Posted by: Greg Apr 21 2003, 01:35 PM

There are yurts in the Pacific North West. There are proly about as many yurts as there are running 914's out here.
I was just poking fun at our "moss covered everything" stereotype.
I was also trying to get my posting count up too.

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Apr 21 2003, 01:41 PM

Whats a yurt?

Posted by: seanery Apr 21 2003, 01:44 PM

I don't know of a better way to describe them, other than kind of like a teepee.

Here's one, but there are lots on the web:
http://www.rdrop.com/~glacier/yurt.htm

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 07:25 PM

Yeah there are some Yurts and tee pees, the hippies in Fremont put them up in their yards in the summer.

Yes, the plan is to have a breakfast/lunch every month. Any ideas for the next meet? Some have said the Redhook brewery in Woodinville. I am looking at the May 17th as a date. Have to work around the AX schedule and Moms day. Some guys are pushing for further south of Seattle, but I don't know where.

Beautiful, and I love the late model bumpers!!!

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 08:04 PM

The blue car had a cheap paint job on it but still looked pretty damn good compared to my 3 tone car.
Geoff

Posted by: DNHunt Apr 21 2003, 08:41 PM

Just wanted to say thanks Geoff for getting the breakfast up. I enjoyed meeting all the people and I'm looking forward to more opportunities. Thanks

Dave

Posted by: seanery Apr 21 2003, 09:07 PM

Eric's car is making me consider painting the race car that color.

I'm considering Alaska blue (original color)
White
Palma Green Metalic

Any opinions?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Apr 21 2003, 09:07 PM

Dave,

First..welcome to the board.

Second.. start a new thread with some details of your Megasquirt ride.

I havent heard what engine it is on or what you have done to the engine.

B

Posted by: RustyWa Apr 21 2003, 09:59 PM

The big bumpers out numbered the skinny ones! And that includes the one conversion that I know of.....

Posted by: seanery Apr 21 2003, 10:02 PM

did you notice the 2 911's license plates?

pretty cool!

Posted by: boxstr Apr 21 2003, 10:03 PM

Nice looking silver 914, what are the details. Are the rear fenders pulled. I think I met the owner a couple of years ago at the Stuttgart Autoech swap meet.

Posted by: Bruce Allert Apr 21 2003, 10:13 PM

That MegaSquirt system Dave has is incredible. I was always under the assumption that it was necessary to change injectors, fuel rails & the lot but all it replaces is the ECU plus you can dial it in to what ever you want. They were sitting there in the car with the laptop hooked up to it and fiddlle'n around while we were standing there. The engine would be purring and then Dave would begin hitting the up or down arrows on the puter. You could hear the engine change with each key stroke...
Simply amazing. I'm impressed
Glad to have met ya Dave. Keep up the great work!
bruce

Posted by: RustyWa Apr 21 2003, 10:22 PM

I think the license plates were a fabrication. Since the license plate on my car has been "modified".

Here's a photo of the silver car...All I know is that it was a six.

...so that was Geoff playing in photoshop, huh?

Good job!
I do that stuff for a living and you had me going!

Posted by: boxstr Apr 21 2003, 10:34 PM

Actually Sean the white car you bought had 914 plates. The owner told me that when he went in to get new plates they asked him if he wanted 914 in the numbers, he said sure.
I was told the same thing whe I bought my 914-6 in Seattle same deal. They don't do that in Oregon.
God dam I love that silver six, even with the big black bumpers. Really beautiful.
Anyone have anymore info send it my way, owners name,etc. Thanks.
If you guys want tocome down south for your next breakfast, we might be able to get a few more Oregon teeners up your way.

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 10:37 PM

I didn't do it! Honest!
I grabber these photos from PP so everyone could see. My new Nikon was on the wrong setting so all the outside shots came out bad.
Gotta figure out how to use it quick!
Geoff

Posted by: seanery Apr 21 2003, 10:38 PM

which one do you have. I have a nikon digital.

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 10:41 PM

I had the 885 and sold it to get a 5000. Monique "Had to Have" the sound with the movie.
BTW Joe should be posting a movie of the whole damn deal soon. I saw a preview on Sunday, lots of shots of Eric Fry for some reason.
Geoff

Posted by: seanery Apr 21 2003, 10:50 PM

If the 5000 is anything like the 5700 you should be able to put it on auto 90% of the time and turn out great.

I've got a D100 and it does great by itself except when I use the flash. I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Posted by: ChrisReale Apr 21 2003, 11:13 PM

Eric Fry's silver car is a 914-6 with a 2.7 I believe. he rips it up at Bremerton Ax. Pulled fenders galore, he stuffes 225's in there.

Posted by: RustyWa Apr 21 2003, 11:20 PM

Pic of Eric Fry's car..
Chris, your car is the only one I didn't get a picture of. You left for work before I made it to the end of the line.
