914World.com _ 914World Garage _ From Portland to Seattle & back

Posted by: Bruce Allert Apr 19 2003, 06:23 PM

The seattle "breakfast club" (meet) turned out great. Must've been 20 to 30 (including some 911ers) of us packed into one area of the Alki Bakery all talk'n 914's. After eat'n Geoff took us down the road a piece where we could line up on the waterfront and gander at all the teeners. People riding & walking by check'n us out, even had one guy stop and talk to us. He had a shop once upon a time that worked on Porsches. I asked him if he would go out & get one now that he saw all of our. His reply..."NO that was the worst Porsche to work on! Worked on too many!" But he loved looking at all of them. We all had a good time. Maybe someone will post a few pics that were taken with some names.

What no tickets! Damn Bruce, we have to dig up a hot 2.0L engine to put in your car so you can get some tickets. Maybe with that slick Megasquit EFI....what do you think?

Hoo boy!
Geoff, I've dreamed of having a nice hot 2.0 for Punkin. Bring it on and I'll out run them boys in blue... :finger2: until they get on the radios :gilloutine:
That Mega Squirt system was really neat. And the price was, as someone there said, cheaper than a set of carbs.
I made good time getting home. 3 1/2hrs. That included stoping at "BugerKing" for a gut bomb. Didn't even need dinner!
Everyone was cruising at or near 85.
Saw a Lexus SC450. What a nice looking car. Nice Babe in the pasenger seat too!!!

Now that WA has Krispy Creme shops we'll prolly see a lot fewer WSP on the road.....that's my theory and it's mine.

There is one in Issquah now but they are building one out at 125th and Aurora. Now all the "night ladies" will be back on Aurora since the cops will be too busy.

"can i put one of those in the sb?" i told him yep, directed him to shoptalkforums. keep your eyes open for a clean, brown, stock looking sb tearing around akli. t-4 power baby!

That was a sweet 72 type 3 SB! It will be cool to have 95hp in a type 3.

There is a guy (Tom) in Seattle that has a type 3 notchback (2 door sedan) with a 2.8L engine in it. Hooked up to a autotranny of all things. Car was featured in VW Trends a couple of months ago. That's a rice killer! Has 5 bolt Fuchs on it too I think.

A Notch is on my list of cars to own. I'm looking for a Sunroof Notch. I'll drop it on a later T3 pan with IRS.
