Date fixed. Sorry for any confusion.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Aug 6 2011, 10:48 AM

Thanks admins for highlighting this for me.

Okay folks, if you think you might be planning to attend this year please post here so I can get a general idea of how many to plan for. I know it is short notice but that was beyond my control and I am going to do the best I can with the time I have. Things are in the works and coming together nicely so far. Registration page should be completed soon as will the T-shirt design. There will be many awesome roads to drive and those should be posted once we finalize the schedule. Come join the fun!

Are you going to have your car back together for this one?

Posted by: bandjoey Aug 6 2011, 10:19 PM

Unfortunately probably not able to come this year but will order a tshirt. Blew a valve out the motor on over reving (per the experts) and not financially able to build a good motor right now, and no time to do it my self until fall. I'm working double shifts probably all the rest of this year.

Looking for a running 1.8 or 2.0 drivable motor cheap right now that can transplant to drive, while gathering the parts for a real rebuild later on. I don't want to spend over $1000 turnkey right now - motor, shipping, install parts, etc -, so it's find a motor time.

If something come along, it's possible I can be there.

Unfortunately our car is still not completely finished with the body work and paint. I need to start a thread to show the progress but it is still on the rotisserie. The paint has been stripped, metal work, engine bay, five lug conversion, new sway bars and rear fender roll almost complete. We are very close to primer but this seems to be the slowest restoration or build thread ever.

I just like hanging out with you guys.

Maybe one of us should borrow Kelvin's motor, he isn't using it anyway.

Augh, I love Eureka. Don't think there's any way on God's Green Earth I could have Lou ready by October tho. Would anyone care if I showed up in the wife's '72 convertible bug? (Obviously I wouldn't be taking part in the 'spirited driving' portion of the program.) Or maybe just bring the wagon and be the 'support vehicle'...

Posted by: rnellums Aug 8 2011, 10:01 AM

I would love to come if I can get the car together and the time off work.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Aug 8 2011, 12:46 PM

I know there are a lot of teeners in the Oklahoma area. This is a great opportunity to meet a lot of your fellow addicts and enjoy some good roads. I hope you all can make it out, with or without a teener.

Okay people, I know you all are busy and have a million things to do but could really be helpful if you would throw your name on here if you even THINK you might be coming. I need to try and get an estimated head count so I know how many rooms and how much food to plan for. Thanks and hope to see you all there.

Well, I could use a date, or barring that, a range of dates. That'll go a long way toward telling if I have a snowball's chance or no.

Hopefully Scooters head work and reassembly should be done by then. I'm planning on being there if the creek don't rise.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Aug 15 2011, 09:18 PM

Hotels pretty much nailed down. T-shirt designs almost finalized. Resturants chosen, routes decided on. PCA sponsorship accuired. This is beginning to come together nicely. Hope to have everything posted in another 2 or 3 days. Come join the fun. MUSR12 October 13th, 14th, 15 & 16th. Eureka Springs, Ar nestled in the beautiful Ozark mountains.

Okay folks, the planning commitee is working very hard towards the goal of having registration open this Friday. Has been a little tougher getting things ready on such short notice but there is an awesome group of people doing their best to ensure all attendees have a great time. Make your plans now to attend MUSR 12 this October 13, 14, 15 and 16. The roads and scenery will be unforgetable and the friends you will meet and make will last a life time. DON'T MISS OUT!

Please continue to post here if you even think you might attend so we can get some idea of how many to plan for.



Thanks,
Shoe

Bama 914 here. You folks suck. I am soooooo mad I can not make it. I even asked my daughter if we could change her wedding date! I will not tell you what her answer was. By the way - my 914 won 2nd place in the Barbers Motor Sports Concourse at the vintage show this past summer. Her and me have come a long way and I will miss the brother/siterhood of this event. I WANT A SHIRT! Can I get just a shirt? Best of best to all you for keeping on a tradition of a fine auto. I WILL be there next year.

Three weeks away people so let's get our minds made up and send in that registration. Don't forget, you can order t-shirts even if you are not going to be able to attend. You might also want to study up on your teener knowledge. I received the tech quiz from Ed Marrow today and it is a tough one. Hope to see you all there.

I wonder if the trees will cooperate and turn for us this year. I just hooked up my heater circuit so I have a defrost "function" now that the nights are cooler! Now I know what some of you (that have no heat exchangers) are thinking... What's the matter with the towel in the passenger seat?

Answer: 5-point harness. Can't reach the windshield. Trying gives me a tongue cramp, and no. I won't tie it onto the end of a stick. That's just something else to build brackets for.

Looking forward to those wonderful roads!

I took my car for a shakedown run Saturday to the German Car Club of Kansas annual event. it was a 2 hour drive each way. The car ran great so I think I will try to the 5 hour drive to the Eureka Springs event. I have one business meeting to move and I am clear.

PS: I was the only 914 in the car show and was lucky enough to park next to a freshly restored Speedster. It was GORGEOUS!!



See you at MUSR!

Most are universal. I have Cobras and motorola. I am glad you mentioned this Bill. If anyone wants to bring radios, walkie talkies, if makes it easier to keep everyone informed and nobody gets lost when they get hung at a redlight, even though I didn't see any redlights out there.

It seems one of the sponsors 'donated' something to the MUSR event and then charged the organizer for the shipping. I just think that's wrong. So, I sent an extra mug to be either given away at the event or given to the organizer who got ripped off by the sponsor. Have a great time you guys and thanks for all your hard work organizing this!

After Scooter's rebuild this summer we put the engine/trans package back in. Worked for awhile tuning her up on the lift. Shut her down and looked under the car for leaks. Damed if we didn't have a leak at the flywheel. Pulled the package, replaced the seal and the o-ring, put it back in, warmed it up Damed oil leak is still there. Ordered a new flywheel. Will install this weekend along with new seal & o-ring. If the stars are aligned all will go well and I'll still have a few days to bed the brakes & get it alligned before Eureak Springs

Looks like my 914 will be running but no way would I trust it to go 12hrs there and 12hrs back so... talked to my son and he has agreed to swap cars with me for a few days.

Anyone need a roommate?

Steve, one of the folks coming with me is in a double room by himself. I'd bet he'd be willing to have a roomy.

MUSR 12 gets a special hardware kit assembled.

You get:
1969-1972 door hardware + door hinge bolts + new unmolested chrome window cranks + buffers

I will have about 4-5 kits in Replica and 4-5 in Stainless kits of this combo.
You lucky dogs.
It will be around $150 per kit

About half of all the door hardware from Porsche is NLA and the cranks are NLA. I'll take cash, cash, and cash ...and definitely not your kids.

I will also have that kit plain jane with just the hardware in Replica and Stainless. About 5-6 kits each.
Late 73-76 will come in one flavor only with the option of Replica or Stainless topping.
Engine Dress Kits will be in Replica and Stainless.
Lock kits in Replica and Stainless around 5-10 kits each. (not a high priority in assembling)

My route to MUSR - in case anyone is on the same path - but it is unlikely...

Thursday
9:00AM - Depart Andover, Kansas - backroad driving all the way
Noon - Arrive Miami, OK - lunch with some friends
1:30PM - Depart Miami, OK
3:30PM (or so) - Arrive Eureka Springs

Rough plan for couple of us:

Ross (heading from Lafayette IN) and I (heading from Chicago) are leaving Wed evening, meeting around Springfield, then layover just past St.Louis in Eureka Missouri. Finishing up Thursday AM to Eureka Springs.

Anyone else heading through St. Louis area?

ring offset and pinion depth is all that's left! Then madly install and shakedown on the way to the MUSR! Ok, two 911's in between. One's easy, one's not. Life is good!

I have put 800 miles on Calypso since I pulled her out of a barn earlier this summer.

My barn find LE ran good for nearly 1000 miles and then threw a rod or something. Yeah, was making some noise so there was warning.
Current engine is "history unknown" but it seems to run strong. Has an exhaust leak that I cannot get rid of and the muffler is kinda crappy. Crossing my fingers in hopes it makes the MUSR trip.

Ross - do you happen to have 2.0 tin for the passenger side? The piece I have has been cut for an AC unit.

Slight backfire at idle, rough idle and lacked normal power. Also Robyn is running a 105.1 temperature right now. She does want me to take her to the the doctor so I'm giving her asprin and taking her temp every hour, hope it isn't the flu.

Oh man, that was one saturated Ramble. But the fog socking us in on the way to Queen Willamena Resort gave a certain "haunted" quality to the whole thing.

Didn't seem to squash the 914 atmosphere to much but I had to put on the rain tires!

I always have my car well prepared long before events but for the first time I might have to stay up all night to get the trans back in my car. Then it's a 3.5 hour shakedown to Eureka Springs. Life is good!!!!

sorry to go little ot but, that fever was high! glad to hear it's gone down.

carefull with the ibuprophen. i was taking that last week (no more than directed) and it totally acidified my stomach. coming back slowly with some prescription stomach coater but, i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

haven't been able to drink beer or eat much since friday.

the cure is worse than the disease!

Heading out now. Couple of local stops first and then headed west to Memphis via I-40.

Will try to post photos to the live thread along the way.

Adjusted the valves but still had the slight backfire and rough idle. Then I pulled the plugs and found the the #2 plug wet with fuel. Replaced the injector and the idle is better with no backfire. Robyn is feeling alot better, her fever is almost gone. Moving to the next 50 things to do before we leave.

Just a note to say thanks for everyone that coordinated this event and also to all those that attended. It was a great event and I enjoyed meeting everyone.

Cheers!

I wanted to add my thanks as well. I had a blast and will be doing everything in my power to make it again next year (perhaps with two cars)! The return drive went well for me and I hope everyone else has safe travels as well.

Absolute best MUSR I've attended ( My sixth). My stay at the Riders Rest with owners Bob and Ann was top notch. Really enjoyed meeting everyone. Time to start getting ready for next year.LOL

Posted by: 7275914911 Oct 17 2011, 08:31 AM

It was great to see the folks that I already knew once again!!

And it was really nice to meet everyone else that I knew from the board but had never seen in person. Thanks Biker Bob and Mike (Country Mountain Inn) for putting up with us for three nights. Mike turned out alright once WE all quit throwing cigerette butts down in the parking lot...LOL

Steve was leaving Memphis this AM for home. Donald drove from Little Rock to Memphis running 102 fever. I'm doubting he will remember much of that stretch of I40.

Hope everyone makes/made it home safe and without incident. Enough of those at the event?

And a special shout out to Brad for being the resident mechanic and making sure every teener stayed of the road too!!

This MUSR was fantastic! Thanks to all that organized it and the wonderful crowd that attended. Smooth, safe, and lots of driving on those amazing roads... looking forward to next year's run as well.

Posted by: BigDBass Oct 17 2011, 09:40 AM

Thanks everyone for making this a great event!

I made it home last night safe and sound around 7:15pm. No excitement whatsoever on the way home, which was just what I was looking for!

Time to start planning MUSR13!

I agree with all comments above: Great MUSR.

Glad all have made it home safely. I have stopped at a Chick-fil-a just east of Nashville so still have about 3 hours to go

Posted by: rnellums Oct 17 2011, 10:10 AM

Way to Go! have a safe rest of your journey!

Thanks to all who attended. It was great meeting everyone. This was our first Ramble but Ann agrees with me it won't be our last. Sorry we were unable to spend more time with the group. The next Ramble we won't be working. Looking foward to MUSR 13.

A special thanks to a couple of members. First Don for stepping up and making MUSR 12 happen. Don did an outstanding job under difficult circumstances and is to be commended.

In addition to Brad helping Don get Christy up and going. He also helped me sort out my shift linkage. I was missing one of the knuckle bushings and the other was almost gone. A condition that would have probably left me stranded on the Friday run. Thanks again Brad.

Last but not least Curt Curtis who spent part of his Thursday nigt helping me replace the knuckle bushings.

The best to everyoun and keep driving thoes 914's.

Anyone lose a car key? Does not look like a 914 key. I found it in the mailbox this morning. Could it be yours if so I'll send it along ASAP.

Posted by: poorsche914 Oct 17 2011, 03:44 PM

I made it home a couple hours ago. Took a nap for a bit

Googlemapped it and the distance for me was around 700+ miles each way
Would I do it again? Absolutely!
Even though I live in the Smokies where there are TONS of awesome roads, the best part of MUSR was driving with other teeners.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Oct 17 2011, 05:38 PM

Glad everyone had a great time. Fever is down from the upside of 103 to the 101 range. Feel like crap and going back to bed. Oh yeah, did finally eat for the first time since lunch yesterday. Thanks Steve for playing nurse maid last night and a BIG thanks to Ken and Steve for making sure I arrived home safely. Don't really remember much but woke up in my bed this morning. MUSR12 was a huge success!

Thanks to all! Paula and I had a great weekend and a great drive home, we didn't put the top on until Springfield IL. Gene and Cheri (SILVR914) drove with us for a trouble free trip.

Special thanks to Donald, Dan and all that helped arrange this event. You would not realize how much effort is required to put on an event like this unless you did it yourself! Fun, friends and 914's was the theme and it was a total success!

Looking forward to MUSR 13, count on me for support. Brad

Donna and I enjoyed seeing everyone this year and look forward to driving our car next year. We hope to have another Birmingham 914 with us next year with Jimmy Grantham driving. Jimmy just finished restoring his original 914-6 pictured below.

Acetone, simple green and many scrub brush episodes and it's not completely gone.
Gene was right... it's permanent.

Of course, this MUSR was worth it!!!!!!

Posted by: 7275914911 Oct 18 2011, 08:35 AM

I believe everyone is accounted for except the TX crew....Robyn, Travis and A. I know they don't frequent the board a lot though...

Nice meeting and seeing old teener friends....

I had got caught up in traffic in a passing area so I feel a little lucky!!

As sick as Shoe was its a good thing we didn't make it by WM it seems.

Great pictures. I did paypal I think it was $22 for a long sleeve shirt to be mailed. If it was too late, you can reverse the payment, send a check, or cash in a padded envelope along with world series tickets


Thanks Bill

Donna and I had a great time and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Video I put together of the MUSR12 Friday drive: sweepers, long stretches, elevation changes and twisties. Highlights of the 200+ mile drive on the roads around Eureka Springs with a group of 914s. About 5 minutes long.

Thanks for sharing the videos, guys!

I watched one with my daughters. They recognized my car. Then my 5 year old said "Daddy, your green car looks slow." I withheld my tears and said "Yeah, Shoe said I was slow this year too."
