Hey, is that a disco ball? Maybe I should bring my laser for some ambience

Posted by: Jenny Aug 4 2004, 04:13 PM

Well... look at the sweatshirt I'm wearing!

Cheers!

Jen

Posted by: Jeroen Aug 4 2004, 05:32 PM

Hmmm... I think those patio benches look pretty comfy
I won't need a room to stumble too...

cheers,

Jeroen

add a few Jägermeister to the mix and that'll be "falling distance" instead!

Lets Caravan from GAF if we can. This place is WAY too nice for 914 people...LOL



B

Posted by: Howard Aug 4 2004, 07:22 PM

No worries Brad. Since you're not a 914 person any more you're not invited

Posted by: Brad Roberts Aug 4 2004, 07:25 PM

Never said I was... :finger2:


B

Posted by: Howard Aug 29 2004, 11:15 PM

Please let me know if you are coming and want to have lunch at the hotel and/or a 914club name tag.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Aug 29 2004, 11:26 PM

I'm in.

I'll probably travel down on Friday during the day.

Oh.. I dont need a name tag..


B

Posted by: SLITS Aug 30 2004, 06:51 AM

Name tags? We don't need no stinkin name tags - we're all to famous. Who can read anyway

Posted by: Howard Aug 30 2004, 07:48 AM

Yeah, you guys are legends in the 914 community, alright . Just thought it would be nice to get the club's name out in front of the Porsche community. I'll print them without names, wear them or stick 'em where the sun don't shine.
That's 3 for lunch so far. Anyone else?

Posted by: Gint Aug 30 2004, 07:50 AM

I'm in.

I don't need a name tag.

Posted by: DonTraver Aug 30 2004, 08:11 AM

What Day, Sat or Sun, or both? I'm planning on coming up Sunday for the Swap Meet.

Posted by: Howard Aug 30 2004, 08:25 AM

Lunch is Saturday, 9/11. Doesn't mean you can't go there on Sunday.

Posted by: drew365 Aug 30 2004, 08:30 AM

I'm a most probably.

Posted by: SLITS Aug 30 2004, 08:39 AM

Now that's a solid committal if I ever heard one

Posted by: phantom914 Aug 30 2004, 09:12 AM

Depending on whether you bring the bunny ears or the avatar person, there may be a free lunch in your future..

Posted by: drew365 Aug 30 2004, 06:45 PM

How about the bunny ears on the avatar person! I'll contribute.

Howard I'll be in the LA area that weekend is that a good place to stay for the GAF.
Count me in for lunch coming from Atlanta


Bob

Posted by: Headrage Sep 1 2004, 05:57 PM

I can only do one day and was hoping to go to the swap. I would rather meet some of you folks over lunch on Saturday so someone convince me that I probably won't find anything useful on Sunday and it would be a waste of time.

Posted by: SLITS Sep 1 2004, 06:14 PM

If you live in Bakersfield, you don't have enough money to play with the "big time" coastal boys - so save yourself the trouble and come to lunch - it will be lots cheaper.

Gud enuf?

Posted by: Joe Sharp Old Sep 1 2004, 07:05 PM

Mikez: Yes I'll have at least the CARERROR there trying to get /Ls car running also. I need to talk to you about numbers.
We'll see you at the show and lunch and the swapmeet.
Joe

Posted by: bernbomb914 Sep 1 2004, 07:14 PM

If you can get from pomona to Ventura in ! hour you must be flying Its more like 2 hours. 210 to 118 to 23 to 101

Bernie

Posted by: Headrage Sep 1 2004, 07:52 PM

Hey Slits, you know that stuff that comes outta the ground that eventually costs you $2 bucks plus to keep your car movin. It comes from here and keeps me quite competitive with the "Coastal" boys!!!LOL

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 1 2004, 08:24 PM

mapquest says 1 hr 33 min.

we'll see

Posted by: Howard Sep 1 2004, 08:58 PM

Why? Come Saturday, we'll get the Cuervo flowing, and then decide.

Posted by: carreraguy Sep 1 2004, 11:02 PM

BigKat:

In response to your question; if you are going to GAF, recommend you stay in Ventura otherwise you'll have an approx 2 hour drive each way to/from LA. Many hotels in Ventura including Holiday Inn (almost next to GAF) and Marriott. See you all at the lunch!

Posted by: SLITS Sep 1 2004, 11:16 PM

Hey Headbanger - the stuff that comes outta the ground in Bakesfield is sour crude and is only suitable for paving roads. When you have to steam flood to get the shit moving, uh......................., Yea, they still make money.

Posted by: SLITS Sep 1 2004, 11:18 PM

Cheap shit - We need Cassadores.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Sep 2 2004, 12:24 AM

Bob (BigKat)

your really coming in town ?? Cool.

Stay in Ventura. Stay cheap.. Motel6 is just down the street (and they will leave the light on for you)


B

Posted by: Howard Sep 2 2004, 12:39 AM

Cool! Slits is the tequilameister! Figure 6 o' them 750's will do it.

Posted by: Howard Sep 2 2004, 09:53 AM

Bob, sent you a PM but no response. Please get in touch..

Posted by: Sammy Sep 2 2004, 04:32 PM

For Saturday It's possible that I may be able to work it out so I might be a maybe.

I'm there sunday, prolly can't do saturday unless I get there in the evening. Even that is going to take some serious weasel impersonating.

Posted by: Headrage Sep 2 2004, 04:41 PM

Hey Slits, the oil I'm talking about comes from the Naval Reserve which is shallow, light and "SWEET"! Easy to get! But anyway, I think I'll be there on Saturday because unless they are selling little stuff like seals, bolts, etc. I got no reason. I would rather meet you. You are going to be there right?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 2 2004, 05:29 PM

sounds like a bad pick up line to me....

Posted by: Headrage Sep 2 2004, 05:59 PM

Really looks lame? U sure?

Posted by: Headrage Sep 2 2004, 06:05 PM

Okay I'm there on Saturday!! Howard, If you can convince my wife to stay,and you think there is something of value at the swap we and (I=MY ASS)!! will be there. If not I will get the opportunity to meet at least some of the 914 club members. That is more important to me than anything else.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 5 2004, 01:29 AM

Just recently found out I will be home that weekend. Count me in for lunch. Do they have a Chinese restaurant there?
Cheers, Elliot

Posted by: gopack Sep 5 2004, 10:40 AM

I'm green with envy. not only is my car up on jackstands in a thousand peices,, but im the only one any where near me. you guys have such a great thing going there in Cali!. think of all of us 914 owners scattered about the country and tip one back for me!

Posted by: ! Sep 5 2004, 04:33 PM

Even longer when they pull ya over on the Rincon after a few cocktails.....

Posted by: Headrage Sep 6 2004, 10:18 AM

Okay, it's Monday and the weekend is gonna get here quick. Just need to know details on meeting up for lunch on Saturday. How will we know who's who? Is there a specific location at the hotel? Should I wear a red rose on my lapel so you'll know I'm there for the 914 stuff?

Posted by: Howard Sep 6 2004, 11:09 AM

I understand all the teeners are parking together at GAF so should be easy. Made up some darling little 914 logo nametags, but you will need to write your name on them

We'll be easy to find because 914 owners:
Are Assholes
Are Loud and Crass
Smell different than 911 Owners

Posted by: Headrage Sep 6 2004, 11:14 AM

Okay so I'll just follow the odors and cussing. Thanks!

Posted by: Brad Roberts Sep 6 2004, 01:25 PM

Just when I thought we where making some headway.. getting respect and all from the Porsche crowd..I'm quickly reminded who we "really" are...

My wife Julie and I are going to try to make it, we will be coming down from Cambria at around 10:00... we may be a bit late. We won't have a 914, but we'll have maybe half a 914 (a van full of parts to sell at the GAF swap)

Posted by: jkeyzer Sep 7 2004, 06:59 PM

My girlfriend and I are going with bondo and Julie. If they make it, we probably will.

Posted by: Mike D. Sep 7 2004, 07:23 PM

-Mike D.

Posted by: Cap'n Krusty Sep 7 2004, 07:33 PM

Wear yer buyin' shoes, 'cause The Cap'n and Mark'll be draggin' 2 vans fulla good stuff to the Sunday swap meet, ALL of which will be under priced. Those of you who know me are prolly aware I am willing to deal on nearly anything. We're packing tomorrow and Thursday, so if you want anything in particular, let us know. I dunno precisely where we'll be setting up, but we have 4 spaces at the end of a row. Look for The Cap'n's old orange '73 thunderbus, now driven by Mark, and his white Vanagon. The Cap'n, hisownself

Posted by: markb Sep 7 2004, 07:56 PM

Thunderbus, hmmm, I like that. The Bus has a new name.....

Posted by: Duffster Sep 7 2004, 09:45 PM

Posted by: Joe Sharp Old Sep 8 2004, 08:32 PM

/L is still working on the interion, But today she picked up her Optmia and a small bottle of Cazadores (1.75 ml). You don't think we can consume that do you? I should drive the motor home to lunch.
Joe

Posted by: Howard Sep 9 2004, 12:29 AM

Last Call: On another note, Los Robles Greens, 30 miles S of Ventura has a Friday night party 5pm to 10pm. Choice of really good tri-tip, shrimp, or chicken dinner Outdoor BBQ $5. Cheapo drafts and well drinks, live entertainment, etc. A 914 kinda deal.

Marianne and I will be there if anyone wants to stop by. Take 101 South (east) to Moorpark Road exit. Turn right, follow the signs.

CYA...........Friday night

Posted by: andys Sep 9 2004, 10:41 AM

Howard,

Don't suggest to derail your effort, but why drive 10 miles south and break up the middle of the day at GAF? Ventura has no shortage of restaurants darned near walking distance. Also, it would seem to me that a dinner thing after the show would be better suited to a 10 mile drive. Please don't mistake my input; it falls under "you can't please everyone" , but I was just wondering.
If I show, it will be with wife and child in tow.

Andy

Posted by: Howard Sep 9 2004, 10:48 AM

Andy, actually there will be food served at the fairgrounds and it's usually pretty good. But Casa is another issue. We are holding WCC 2005 there next April and what started out as a planning session there for the 2005 crew, several other people wanted to check it out. You're more than welcome, but your call.

Posted by: markb Sep 10 2004, 02:30 PM

Well, Marcie & I are going to hit the road in a couple hours for GAF. Gonna stay at the Motel 6 at Seaward. We hope to get to the dinner tonight at Los Robles Greens. If anybody wants to get ahold of me this weekend my cell is 805 712-4675. See y'all down there.

Posted by: SLITS Sep 10 2004, 03:19 PM

I've got my Tequila (Gran Centenario se Aneja) - have you got yours?

Posted by: Joe Sharp Old Sep 10 2004, 03:24 PM

Yep! 1.75 L de Cazadores. And I'll be happy to share.
Joe

Posted by: SLITS Sep 10 2004, 03:43 PM

Fine with me, as long as you bolted the seat down in your teener

Posted by: Howard Sep 10 2004, 03:46 PM

Filled up a sparkletts bottle with some shit a guy was selling off the back of his truck. Don't come crying to me when you run out of your expensive stuff

This is turning into WCC 2003.5 Where's the Chinese restaurant? Did anyone call the suck for a buck girl?

Posted by: SLITS Sep 10 2004, 03:59 PM

Yea, but your's is watered down (peeing smilie)

At the Chinese Restaurant they all have moustaches and wear sombreros.

Uhhhhh, the "suck for a buck" girls are standing just outside the Chinese Restaurant.

WCC2003 wasn't as good as this. Nothing like Tequila at 3 AM to get the party rolling

Shit Howard, you might even step on the gas in the Whale

Thanks again

im so bummed...post pics

Posted by: Headrage Sep 11 2004, 07:40 PM

Just got back. It was great. Had lunch with about 15 club members overlooking the marina. Excellent! I have some pics of the cars at the GAF but my D#$n usb cable for the camera is at the office. Lots of nice cars. I wish there was a better 914 presence though. Out of maybe 130 cars? only a dozen or so 914's were there. I got a thrill though when the judges came by and stuck a ribbon on the Maltese Falcons car. That was really cool plus he has a really nice car. I will post my pics as soon as I can get to the office and get that Freekin cable.
