I've marked my calendar and hopefully Translog will have my Teener done in time.

Posted by: 914itis May 23 2012, 09:36 PM

Scott if you are going, I will definitely make it . We can caravan .

Posted by: scotty b May 24 2012, 07:46 AM

Meh let me see if anything better comes up. I'll let you know by the first of August

Posted by: Tedman5 May 24 2012, 07:53 AM

Strongly considering coming if able to get off of work. I'll confirm soon.

Posted by: plas76targa May 24 2012, 08:33 AM

You can't miss this. We're pulling port in your honor! [psst: still have some uncle jack left over from last year!]

Posted by: 914itis May 24 2012, 02:29 PM

I hope so .. Pending invite ......

Posted by: jsayre914 May 24 2012, 03:45 PM

So thats your car!

it looks great. its sitting right next to mine

Posted by: Dr Evil May 24 2012, 09:01 PM

I will try, of course. Noel wants to take a vacation then. We were going to try to go to a beach. We even considered inviting Scotty

Posted by: hot_shoe914 May 24 2012, 09:56 PM

Are you going to let him think he gets to have fun or are you going to go ahead and let him know he is Tonka's nanny?

Posted by: Dr Evil May 24 2012, 10:00 PM

Being Tonka's Nanny is fun

Posted by: plas76targa May 25 2012, 09:26 AM

IF my US geography is correct, Frederick MD is between Washington PA and 'The Beach". so stop here on your way TO or FROM the beach.
You can't leave all the Uncle Jack for scotty!

Posted by: type47 Jun 1 2012, 11:29 AM

RSVP and a PCA Potomac tech in the morning 9-2, drive up to Frederick takes about an hour, be there around 3ish... looking for caravan-ers...

Cool Matt. You'll be doing 2 914 weekends in a row! Porschefest autocross at Summit the weekend before...

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 5 2012, 08:29 AM

Just got approved for time off this weekend Noel and I will be there!

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 5 2012, 01:08 PM

I should talk to talk to Potomac PCA and see if we could plan the picnic and auto-x together - would be a long day for most. Probably would take too much away from the picnic.
see you in August if not sooner!

Posted by: zymurgist Jun 5 2012, 01:09 PM

I'd take a poll and see who is interested in both. Personally I'm much interested in the pulled port than in breaking my fragile old car.

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 5 2012, 01:11 PM

Great news! I'll warn the neighbors!

Posted by: type47 Jun 5 2012, 01:13 PM

Well, you don't HAVE to do the auto-x and you don't HAVE to eat the pulled port; do what you want...

Posted by: Tedman5 Jun 5 2012, 01:18 PM

Myself +1 other member, JWHCars, WILL be attending whatever the day holds. We can bring my wife's premier pasta salad as a side and micro brew donation to the drink cooler.

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 5 2012, 01:40 PM

Great news! Newbies are welcome!

Posted by: scotty b Jun 7 2012, 08:48 AM

Looks like a day trip for me this time. My parents informed me they are on vacation that week so I need to take care of their dogs

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 7 2012, 11:15 AM

well that 'bites' .. ok, that one was for me. Plop those K9's in a kennel! one or two nights for a couple of dogs can't cost that much.
[ask me how long we boarded three cats when moved to CA in '04]
On the other hand you have to do what's right. M&D helped with your cookout, like your avatar, "it's the right thing to do".

Posted by: MikeSpraggi Jun 8 2012, 02:17 AM

No track events that weekend. No other commitments. BBQ is in August before the end of the world, December 21, 2012 ..... looks like I can make it . Right now just me and one of the teeners. Might bring the yellow car if no rain is in the forcast.

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 8 2012, 05:51 AM

look forward to seeing you and the yellow car. We promise not to let you take a nap behind the car!

Posted by: MikeSpraggi Jun 8 2012, 05:27 PM

Funny .......... I don't remember that ........

Posted by: flipb Jun 8 2012, 08:03 PM

I might be able to make a day trip with my son. Would love to finally make it to one of these. Stay tuned...

Posted by: nickp997 Jun 9 2012, 05:26 AM

snce i'm now a double 914 owner, I would enjoy meeting you guys and hope to make it. It's on my calendar and unless a higher power overules, then I should be there.

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 11 2012, 09:47 AM

Nick. This is a family event. Pool in the back yard, volley ball in the front yard. Bring the "higher power" as there will be 'others' like her here.
We all look forward to meeting many of you "newbies", and there are a lot in this part of the country.

Posted by: plas76targa Jun 11 2012, 09:51 AM

Flipb - you are too close not to make this, and you have 'threatened' us with your attendance in the past. Get up here and have some fun. Family members are welcome!

Posted by: anderssj Jun 11 2012, 02:19 PM

Matt,

Thanks for hosting this again! Terri and I would like to be there, but I think that's the day we move son back to college. Maybe by then he'll be "launch and leave." We'll get a better idea a little closer to the event.

Thanks again!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Aug 5 2012, 11:45 PM

I won't be there but this one needs bumped as well.

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 6 2012, 10:19 AM

Elliot, thanks for the bump. Maybe some time you can fly here. FDK is second busiest airport in MD and home of AOPA.

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 6 2012, 03:39 PM

Well, that is reason enough to show up

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 9 2012, 08:21 PM

Bumping this back up to where it belongs Atleast Ernesto won't be the threat this year!

Leesa and I are good to go!

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 10 2012, 06:43 AM

At current, the entire family will be there this year. :-)

Zach

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 10 2012, 02:10 PM

So i can change the title to "Invasion of the Rabites"?

On a different note, remind me to contact the Bone Doctor. John brought the only 914 last year and we haven't heard from him yet on this thread!

Posted by: mepstein Aug 10 2012, 02:17 PM

Anyone want a ride/carpool from the Wilm, DE area? I'm just going down for the day.

Mark, check with Oakieflier. He's from near you.

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 12 2012, 06:48 PM

I'm planning on bringing the teener, Leesa is lobbying for the MINI since it has A/C. We'll have to see if the weather can work in my favor since it is a 914 event after all!

Posted by: type47 Aug 13 2012, 06:56 AM

Well let's see if we can figure this out: you drive the teener, she drives the Mini.

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 13 2012, 07:00 AM

Current weather is calling for the possibilities of showers - but that'l change by Saturday. I'm hoping the weather is like this past weekend, low humid and mild temps. fingers crossed!

Posted by: saigon71 Aug 13 2012, 06:37 PM

On the bright side, I don't see any massive hurricanes in the forecast!

Ribs and Pork get ordered today!

this thread should be at the top!

Anybody like Key lime pie? I could make one.

Posted by: type47 Aug 15 2012, 03:40 PM

I hope nobody else does so I can have it all to myself. If you ever go to Cafe Rio Mex restaurant, get their key lime pie for dessert. Answered this mainly for the

I'll take that as a "yes" then.

you can take that as a "Hell Yes"! Whipped cream anyone?

Posted by: zymurgist Aug 16 2012, 03:55 AM

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 16 2012, 05:49 PM

Let's see if we can better the 914 count this year since there's no hurricane!

Don't be shy, Matt's got a lifetime of cardboard to protect your car from his lawn!


I'll be pushing through marital discord to bring mine (cashing in my brownie points).
Unless the weather forcast turns worse (looking good so far) I'm packing ours.

Okieflyr = 1

Who's else is bringing their Teener?

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 16 2012, 06:10 PM

So, both my kids are sick, which changes things up. The baby has been sick for 2 weeks. Its getting old...

Plan is for the kids to stay home with my wife Sat, but I am still cleared to play. If the kids are feeling better, ma cherie will take them to the fair and then I come home she will be happy. If the kids get sicker I may be held back to the house by a stressed spouse.

Ahhh, children.

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 16 2012, 07:24 PM

Kevin - remind me to pull down that cardboard from its' hiding (storage) space.

The weather is looking good, now only a chance of rain. might be hot in the 90's.

Ken, the pool is not heated but at last check was fine to relax in.

Note to all, local news stated that this Friday Maryland is increasing their vigilance on drunk driving, so expect more patrols and little room for error. Don't let that stop you from coming to the BBQ but do let that encourage you to stay if you've had your fair share! We're gonna have fun but we're also going to stay smart!

Posted by: Tedman5 Aug 16 2012, 07:34 PM

Up the teener count by one.

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 16 2012, 07:52 PM

So a contest of pride and shame is who has the smallest and largest amount of oil stain on their cardboard diaper at Matt's.

Posted by: mepstein Aug 16 2012, 08:14 PM

Which is which?

Posted by: type47 Aug 16 2012, 09:11 PM

for the "pix or it didn't happen" crowd

Posted by: BajaXJ92 Aug 16 2012, 09:14 PM

What teener?

Posted by: Tedman5 Aug 17 2012, 07:29 AM

If anyone has an exterior, good cond, pass side door handle for sale, please bring it along. Maybe we could do a little tech session and install on site in honor of our common bond gathering.
Thanks.

Posted by: Cupomeat Aug 17 2012, 09:02 AM

Can't bring my 914 as it is still being garaged in NY but I might bring my 993 if I can find out how to put my 901 trans safely inside to hand off to His Most evilness...

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 17 2012, 06:14 PM

Great! my son William (out of the clear blue) said today, "i want an all black 914". I told him you'd be here and he could look it over.

T - 18 hrs. Food is ordered. Weather is acting up, latest is calling for AM rain and clearing by noon. Darn weather shifted 12 hours on me. Well the pool is clear and comphy. Sorry, Ken, it's ain't warm but it'll still be fun.

Posted by: scotty b Aug 17 2012, 06:34 PM

Bo the Princess and I will be there around 10:00-ish. we'll be bringing some Kudzu for everyone

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 17 2012, 06:37 PM

I will be there when I can. We are to be checked out at 11am and should be on our way at that time. Sounds like about 3.5-4hr drive.

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 17 2012, 08:16 PM

Saturday am traffic from the beach sucks. Take yer time, we''ll keep a couple cold ones for ya. and i'm working on a table for you and Eric's transmission.

I see some people posting early arrival times. Do I have my times mixed up? I thought the details said this starts at 2. ??? Has something changed?

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 18 2012, 06:28 AM

Tedman - count the mile markers on R15 South, were below 18. right in the area where posted speed limit is reduced to 50. Exit at Willow, left at Willowbrooke, right at Opposumtown, 0.5 mile to left turn into Meadowbrooke, then bear right and you can't miss us.

Posted by: saigon71 Aug 18 2012, 07:33 AM

Will be there right around 2. Matt - can I pick up those engine bay seals?

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 18 2012, 07:45 AM

Paul (914itis) is on his way down from NY. Expect to see him around noon or so then we may arrive 2ish depending on Sat I-95 traffic.

Posted by: flipb Aug 18 2012, 08:18 AM

I'm aiming to get there around 2pm with my son. We have a pasta salad and a large watermelon, may pick up an interesting six-pack if we have a chance to stop along the way.

Am I the only one who's bringing a youngster after Zach's clan got sick?

Posted by: zymurgist Aug 18 2012, 09:25 AM

Key lime pie and some interesting beers to sample are forthcoming...

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 18 2012, 11:52 AM

Zach, here's the distributor space I need. Tank and frame get in the way
if the dist gets any bigger than this. Maybe what we can do is
try it at Scotty's 'cause I'm considering taking the bike there in October.


Oh! Thanks for the 'GURKHA'

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 19 2012, 12:49 PM

Just got home. Had to stop along the way to get my eldest from the grandparents.

Another fantastic party.

Got lots of good doggie time.
Fell in a hole.
Welcomed the newest 914 world couple - Adam and Scott.
Did some cannonballs into the pool.
Had some spectacular weather - given weeks recently. Cool and sunny with fluffy clouds - about as perfect as weather gets.
The BBQ was very nice.
And when I got home, my baby boy looked 100x better then he looked when I left yesterday.

Posted by: 914itis Aug 19 2012, 01:34 PM

Zach, Great to hear that your baby is doing better.
We are on our way back . We stopped to eat at the md/del border. We didn't make it to DC. Another 150 miles to go .

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 19 2012, 01:55 PM

Adam, good to know you guys made it home. Glad you could make it up to your first BBQ with us.

These pictures posted are great. Several good candidates for a screen saver!
Katherine and I enjoy hosting this event and meeting new folks as well as spending time with the seasoned ones. We may have to expand this to two days just to eat all the food! [nah, more of you need to show up so we get a semicircle of 914's in the front yard!].
Anyone else go in the pool besides Flipb and his son Seth, Dr Evil, Ken, Zach, and myself? [and Kudzu too] We need more swimming! Next year i'll have to put up the volleyball net
I really look forward to this each year!

No worries Dad. Mrs. Robinson was over today peeking over my shoulder at the computer, and she liked what she saw, so look out scotty b.

This event is even close enough to include some Canucks. If we got the old ON included on the invite list.

Thanks for hosting a great gathering again Matt We enjoyed the food and great company as usual, and thanks to everyone that made the effort to attend.
The variety of people make it fun, and the cars are an extension of them.

Beautiful day, great food and company. Thanks for hosting this. I have many of the same shots as already posted so mine below are inside views of 2 of the cars and a poke at the host
pic of Kevin's VW turbo, passat trans and cable shift set-up

pic of Bob's front trunk and oil cooler set-up

of all the 914's that attended, the only one that needed cardboard to keep it from leaking oil on the yard belonged to the host

I had not even noticed that Matt had changed over to Fuchs. Really changes the look of the car.

He had steelies before.

Posted by: type47 Aug 19 2012, 06:17 PM

Those must be his track tires. He still had his autocross number and run group on his windshield....

Jim hit it right. Those are my AX wheels. I have the steelies as stock tires for daily driving. A trailer with track tires and tools is in the long range plan.

Just wanted to add my "Thank you!" to Matt and Katherine for all the effort and expense that goes into hosting an event such as this. This was my first time there. Really enjoyed seeing some familiar faces and meeting everybody else. And the awesome 914s. Nice to have our own little car show.

Well maybe next year I can do the pool ... I shouldn't be at the "Beached Whale" status.

Sounds like fun. Address?

I'll be there unless management has another plan. I'm new to VA but not to 914s.

Posted by: BajaXJ92 Oct 24 2021, 11:30 PM

I think about this event often when I think back to owning 914's.

Just thought I'd drop a line and see how all of you old timers are doing!

Except for you Zach, I just saw you about 2yrs ago now?

Posted by: VaccaRabite Oct 25 2021, 05:52 AM

Matt is now closer to you then me. They still own the house in Maryland, but they are doing a stint in Utah for Kath's work.
Ken and Jim
Mike has a bunch of kids now.
I have a bunch of kids now.
Scott is swamped with work.
Kevin sold his car and just does overlanding now.
Herb's blown up his car like 20 times now.
A lot of the others I've lost touch with from that party group.

I still try and make 914 events, but do a lot with cubs and boy scouts.

I've been thinking about resurrecting the party at my place - but damn is it hard to find the time. It seems like every weekend is packed with kid stuff, or car stuff.

Im always trying to get back to being more social. EvilWerks has exploded and I have a good steady flow of work and happy customers, so that does not such. Currently, mid move to Cincinnati area (Loveland), transferring day jobs from Columbus at the VA. Still planning to go out on my own as soon as my loans are forgiven (what a clusterfuch that has been). Zach is right, I accidentally procreated and made some giant twin boys that are now 17mo and likely to consume my income in food in the not too distant future. I hope to make Hershey year after this with stuff ready to rock for big ol EvilWerks debut. Depends on shop situation at new location (need to find, rent/buy).
