I'm in. So is Theo and maybe Erin if she is in town. My 914 attending will depend on if Erin comes, as Theo is still scared of it.

Very cool, I'll try and keep that weekend open. Would you mind if I drive the 356 instead? The 914 isn't running well currently.
Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 9 2011, 12:03 PM
Was this one of the weekends I said I would be around??? 
Posted by: ppetion Jul 9 2011, 12:27 PM
Did you purposely leave new Yorkers out of it? I hurt !
Posted by: okieflyr Jul 9 2011, 12:53 PM
Matt,
I or "we" should be there (depending who rides passenger).
Paul, we may be able to caravan if you'd like. I'm going to try and avoid I-95.
Posted by: ArtechnikA Jul 9 2011, 01:16 PM
we'll provide the pulled port...
is that solera or Amantillado ?
de nada - any port in this storm ...
Donno - we'll try...
We'll be a late confirmation if we can make it, and we'll sign up for whatever you most need late in the going - preferably non- or semi-perishable since I expect we'll head straight in from SEPA.
Posted by: MikeSpraggi Jul 9 2011, 03:54 PM
Looks like I can be there. No track events scheduled. What do I need to bring? ..... Nevermind. I reread the original post and saw what is needed. Thanks.
Posted by: scotty b Jul 9 2011, 08:36 PM
Damnit Matt. I told you the pulled port was not that great last year and to try pork next time 
Should I bring my trailer

Did i "Pull the port" again? Thats what I get for copying last years posting.
To be correct we only pull our pork here.

Heck, you don't even have to own a 914! These guys let me crash their party every year.

No, and if you've got more than one, you're certainly qualified...
As Ken observed, you don't even have to own a 914, but if you don't at least tolerate them, you may not have a good time at this event. (Joy can marginally tolerate them, and Ken's gnomebrew helps a lot...)
I'm looking forward to seeing your car - been following it in the classifieds although it is as out of reach for me as ever...

Yeah, I doubt seriously that I'll ever actually sell my 914. Despite the fact that what I pay in storage fees every month is about the same as my first house payment, I can't seem to bring myself to sell anything. I've never been to a mass 914 event, so it's extra exciting!

I guess this means I ought to make some beer. Haven't done much of that since I bought a motorcycle. Coincidence? You tell me...

I have a better red head than "All y'all".
at least thanks for keeping this on page 1.
I know there are many more teeners close by (and long distance) that can make this event. Note: it's not just for us 'guys' - family is welcome. The pool is wet and so is the bar! So save the date and come on up, down, or over. You're bound to have fun here.

'When' is in the thread title... ( Aug 27th, 1400-->?? )
Address is on a 'need to know' basis ;-)
Matt will PM on request.
I don't blame him for not posting his home address for all the world to read...
Posted by: slackin' at work Jul 22 2011, 02:42 PM
put me down for 'maybe'.
can never tell what the schedule will be that far out.
but sounds like a good excuse to catch up with y'all.
I still have lots of 914 parts in my garage. does that make me eligible to attend?
Posted by: plas76targa Jul 29 2011, 08:19 AM

Dr Evil - i believe this was an open weekend for you.
RCARPEN22 - NYC is 4hrs or more away so bring tent or at least sleeping bag. we have room or floorspace available.
Welby - haven't heard anyone take the ball and run with ECC.

SUNAB914 did you get my im on address? (i can send directions too)
I've seen plenty of other 914 members who live near Baltimore and Washington DC that are close enough to come by, so speak up, block off that weekend and come on out! Fun guarranteed!
Posted by: zymurgist Jul 29 2011, 09:03 AM
Anyone who is looking for a cool 911 can come and kick the tires too!

Matt, I'll be bringing my brew Buddy Steve and a fresh batch of homebrew.

Hi everybody. I just got my 914 a few weeks ago and I would love to come to this event. I live in Towson and a drive out route 70 would be nice. It would also be great to pick some brains as I am not a mechanic and I am just learning about the car. It just so happens that the 27th is my birthday and I think the family would attend as well.
Someone send me a PM with some more info please.

I don't have any orange ones, but do you have any 356s to sell?
BTW good idea to list parts needed by people attending. I'm sure we all have some parts that we could unload w/o shipping costs.

I've gotten the OK from my better half to make the cookout - she and our two boys will be stopping by as well. I'm not sure if I'll be able to drive a 914 to the event - My hope is to get the 914-6's fuel tank replaced. With any luck it will make to from north Towson to Frederick!
I'll definitely bring beer, and can bring a couple buckets of KFC or equivalent if that hasn't been spoken for..

I think there were a few from Fredericksburg heading up, I should be in that area a little after 12 if traffic cooperates...

Leesa will be attending with me. We''ll probably bring a batch of Devil'ed (sp?)eggs.

I doubt I am going to have time to make the trip Zach but I have 2 or 3 fuel injection set ups for a 2.0. Let me know what all you need and I will gladly hook you up if I have it.

Why so much trouble with your carbs? I drove mine for 5 years without touching them. They were the Spanish made Webbers. Of course, I wasn't the one who set them up so I don't know why they worked so well.
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 18 2011, 06:34 PM
They have vexed me for 2 years. The engine is solid. I have moved to a proven good exhaust. I am tired of fighting clogged idle jets, gummy fuel, etc. When I get the cable link done, my carbs will be the best they have ever been. But even so, they will never be "turn the key and drive away" good.

Maybe it ws the old fuel that made mine run better. Also, it was my daily driver so that might have helped. ???

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 19 2011, 12:19 PM
Eh.
I start wanting to sell when I think about the carbs and not being able to drive it. If I could drive it for a season I might stop seeing all the other interesting things. Plus, EFI would be quieter then carbs and that would help my little boy not be scared of it.

Any guy (no matter what age) needs to come to terms with the sound of power.
I kid you not, I just flew in from Chicago, and heard an amazing (and quite personally depressing) TV editorial (from a GM of a major network affiliate) complaining that the Blue Angels / Thunderbirds (I'm not sure which) air show was too noisy, too scary, too expensive, and unnecessary for the upcoming Air and Water Show.
Mind you, this was only 1 day after J and I toured the Castle Air Museum displaying notable aircraft in America's history.
OK, it was Chicago (need I say more?) but when a prime example of this country's air superiority faces criticism because "it's loud and scary" I have to feel sad.
Of course, no offence intended to members in other countries, or those who think air power should be politely ignored, as a fart in a fine dining room...
Posted by: mepstein Aug 19 2011, 01:40 PM
Just go in person and watch a Harrier jet take off and land and you'll never think anything else is loud.

My son is 3. I'll start being worried about him coming to terms with the sound of power when he is maybe 10.
Until then, I can try and foster my interests in him in such a way that does not send him running in fear. Right now I am just interested in being able to take my son for a drive.

You're talking to a guy who's seen B-52's and KC-135's take off at Castle AFB.
I worked under the takeoff pattern at NAS Miramar when it was Top Gun home base,
Believe me - I know loud.
While I knew Chicago was a 'special' place before, I never thought I'd see a network affiliate GM base an editorial on "air shows are too loud and icky."
It explains so much...

Event is days away!
I am actually taking my car in to have it serviced for the first time by someone other then me, so that I have a wisp of a prayer of driving it to the party. Otherwise, its the Honda. Either way, I'm going to be there and I hope you will too.

Update from the novice party brewers-
Recipe:Rod's Pale Ale
first- we lost our jar of Irish Moss so we left it out of the recipe?
second - we did not secondary ferment (due to ignorance).
third - we forgot to purge the keg while racking!
otherwise it's in-the-keg...
If this doesn't turn out we will bring a COTS substitute!
Matt what else can we bring along, food wise?
PS..... I'll be bringing a couple extra sets of ear muffs for Evil's solos!
If anybody wants to borrow them. Cause It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock and roll ....... Evil!
Posted by: zymurgist Aug 22 2011, 05:48 AM
Hey Rod, don't worry about leaving out the Irish moss; it's there to make the beer look pretty in the glass and it has no effect whatsoever on the taste. As a matter of fact, I forgot to add it to the brown ale too.
Secondary fermentation is IMO unnecessary, as long as you're not leaving it in the primary for more than 2 or 3 weeks.
Are you force carbonating it now? I didn't get around to racking the brown ale until this weekend, so I'm cranking up the CO2 and hoping for the best.
Posted by: plas76targa Aug 22 2011, 06:44 AM
Some thing about that "Force Carbonating" sounds hazardous. No matches or open fire near the keg!
6 days and counting. Today's weather forecast for the weekend seemed ominous but we've delt with weather before. That won't stop us!

I am getting excited. I dont see any work related BS on the horizon to mess this up Noel and Heidi will be attending with our dog Tonka. I will be bringing the electronic drum set for Scotty and one of my amps and axes. I am looking forward to a good reason to drink and party rather than just being off work

Update from my carb rebuilding session:
No good...we did the top end, jets, bowls....you've never seen so much crap in a carb...yikes.
So we'll need to take them fully off the car and dunk in some carb-cleaning dip.
So the 914 won't make it to the event, but I still plan on showing up with my wife in the 356.
Is there anyone from NoVA driving up that wants to convoy up to Frederick?
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 22 2011, 04:02 PM
I dropped my 914 at Translog today, and am hoping for a quick turn around. They had a LOT of cars there though so I may be SOL. Still at the rate I have been working on it they will still be faster, and the car may actually work when I get it back.
Zach
Posted by: flipb Aug 22 2011, 04:09 PM
I'm not completely out yet... 914 was running when I left on vacation. Get back home Wednesday and depending on family, possible that I (or all 4 of us) could get up there on Saturday.
Posted by: BajaXJ92 Aug 23 2011, 07:18 AM
Just spent the last 40hrs working under/on my '71.... 
New trans seals...
New pushrod tube and valve cover seals...
New Brakes all around....
New(er) tires....
New plugs/wires/cap/rotor/points.
This damn car better be able to make the 500 mile roundtrip journey since the '75 has the trans sitting on the floor and needs a clutch after the rear main seal blew out... 
Is there anyone from NoVA driving up that wants to convoy up to Frederick?
I should be up in your area no later than 2pm coming up 95, if you'd like to meet up. Are you north or south of Exit 234 Dumfries?
Posted by: JmuRiz Aug 23 2011, 08:28 AM
I'm north, but I planed on being at the location around 2PM...
Posted by: okieflyr Aug 23 2011, 06:40 PM
Bumpin' before this goes offline for upgrades.
IRENE is not welcome up here either, she needs to go back out to sea!
Now back to our regularly scheduled
Posted by: ArtechnikA Aug 23 2011, 07:19 PM
As much fun as this was last year, I'm going to have to pass.
We were delayed a day getting back into Philadelphia last weekend by weather and are still scrambling to make up from that. We did 1500 road miles plus two cross-country flights and J's a little burned out on travel just now.
I'd hoped to deliver a truckload of 911 parts to a friend on the east side of the state on the way there, but he's bailed on that deal.
I'm not worried about the weather - no one goes to a pool party and worries about getting wet. But there's just too much to be done here, and I can't really make it work as a daytrip.
Have fun y'all...

Current projections show the storm not hitting western MD till Sunday.
Party time. Excellent!

In the event of last minute changes due to IRENE and if World is still down, look for a thread for this event on club. Otherwise we will see you all there.
Zach
Posted by: BajaXJ92 Aug 24 2011, 07:48 AM
Done a few crazy things in my life, but one thing I don't think I want to attempt is driving back south on sunday through 70-80mph winds in a 40yo car that weighs just south of a ton.
But it might make for a good story, so fuggit, I'm in.
Posted by: plas76targa Aug 24 2011, 09:00 AM
We're still ON for this weekend! Zach's right. Frederick may be far enough west to not have weather until Sunday.
Some of you who are much closer to the coast may use this event as your escape route. If you need or want to leave home on Friday we'll find room for you here! Just let me know so i can leave a light on for ya!
see you all Friday or Saturday!
Posted by: okieflyr Aug 24 2011, 04:15 PM
I'm watching the Irene development over the next day or two. I've gotta be back home on Sat night, and at the moment it may be a bit dicey depending on how this thing tracks. 
I am hopeful!

Well as badly as I wanted to make it I got rear ended at about 4pm today. I slowed down and stopped for a yellow to red light. An older guy in an '09 CLK Benz Conv plows into me thinking I was going to run the light.
The top won't fit on the car properly, the trans is stuck in gear and the exhaust is hanging. Honestly my neck hurts so damn badly I haven't had a chance to really assess the damage.
Hope you guys have a great time! Looks like I'll be riding this storm out in Va Beach and looking for another chassis as I'm almost certain this one is tweaked.

That sucks hard. Hope the old fella's insurance makes you whole, and quick. Go pick up a replacement fourteen while there's still some driving season left.
If anybody has trouble on the way northbound, let me know - I'm an easy stop just off I-95 at the beltway. I don't have much in the way of tools but I can offer a dry couch and a beer.
Posted by: slackin' at work Aug 26 2011, 07:23 PM
looks like I won't be making it.
I had the perfect scenario all planned out. go to annapolis MD in the morning and pick up some fenders for my current project, then swing on out to the party.
then irene and all the evacuations squashed that idea. traffic will be nuts.
now it looks like I'll be hanging at home watching the trees blow.
anyway, I want some good stories... so zach, evil and scottie will have to drink it up for me.
Posted by: hot_shoe914 Aug 26 2011, 09:44 PM
You guys all suck!Christine is still waiting on her heads to be done and then motor put back together. Truck drinks too much gas plus it needs new tires. Guess I will hook up the ski boat and go ride around the lake while you guys drink and have fun. Safe trips to and from the party for everyone and may Irene blow her wad before she causes severe damage.

Guys, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it. I guess all the media hype about Irene has done its job with us. Plus I'm on call this weekend for watching the computer systems at work, and if we lose power I have to log in and shut everything down before the batteries run out.
Stay dry and safe and have one for me!

Needless to say it's a very sad time here at our house.
Kyle, Cody, and I buried him last night in the back yard.
I think it'll be good to get out of the house today so we're still planning to come but
we are getting a late start. If all goes well we will be there before 5PM tonight!

I won't be coming today due to the weather and mechanical issues. I had the car looking great too! I did an aggressive clay job followed by a polish then a wax, only to find oil gushing over my oil filter. I was pissed, then I saw Adam's post. That is a real shame. I hope your neck/back are OK.

I didn't make it up either... not excited at the prospect of experiencing the rain inside the teener. BTDT
Tony, the thing at Scotty's shop is October 1-2, not Sept... still a month away.
So where are the photos from our fellow fourteeners? Hopefully they aren't sitting in the dark without electricity! Anyone headed back South tonight can drop by my place to deposit some of the leftover homebrew.

Adam - get to the Dr and get that neck checked out. Sad that happened to the 914 and you. Were you on your way here or heading home? i have as set of stock tail lights and one side's light bucket you may have.
Thanks to Bonedoc for being the only 914 to make it. We missed the rest of you but respect your decisions to stay home. Mother nature isn't worth messing with.

I was on my out of the house about 4 PM to head to Matt's house and received strong protest from the female contingent of my family, so I told them I would stay there to protect them. Fortunately no dragons or other monsters showed up. Sorry I missed the get together, they are always so much fun. Well, I'll try to make it to Scotty's. I have two track events in October. Guess I better check the dates.
