I'm just wondering if there's any interest, I'd be willing to host it.
Plenty of room for camping, or bring a cot and sleep in the shop.

Looking for a reason to hoist a few And about how fast we've had our 914 going...on jackstands.

We should at least get something in the works for next year

Not looking to do a porvolks show, something a bit more informal, just the 914world crowd

Posted by: kid914 Aug 28 2012, 08:11 AM

I might be in,... but my teener is still on stands.

Posted by: peteyd Aug 28 2012, 08:19 AM

We are actually co-hosting a swap meet and show and shine with Randy Meyer from Whaletail. It will be on September 29 in Waterloo.


I should have mentioned this earlier...

There will be burgers and drinks, but you gotta bring your own booze.

Here are the details.

That sounds great!
I'll see if I can make it.
There should be it's own thread for this one for sure.

I'd still be down for something here, maybe June/July of next year?
I want to do something small scale, not a show, just the 914 guys.
Something like the tranny clinic....
Maybe the Doc wants to come up, I'm almost recovered from the last time we got shit faced tipsy.

I'd be interested in something next year as I'm planning on actually having my car assembled by then.

I keep seeing a red teener in Belleville, I'll try and talk to the owner.

Posted by: Jon H. Aug 28 2012, 01:51 PM

I'm interested too. I could use the tranny clinic now

Posted by: wobbletop Aug 28 2012, 02:10 PM

I'd probably be up for it.

Thanks for the info about the Waterloo meet!

Posted by: MDG Aug 28 2012, 02:15 PM

In!

Is your wife's ban on Dave still in effect?

Posted by: FourBlades Aug 28 2012, 02:30 PM

I am planning to be in Ontario next summer.

I doubt I will drive my teener all the way up there though.

A get together would be cool.

Ya I'd be in for this too ! depending on when next summer maybe mine will be moving under it's own power !! ( painting week is 2 weeks away )

And I'll be at Whaletail too

Posted by: Ian Stott Aug 28 2012, 04:05 PM

I'd be up for that for some time next summer! I will do the tranny clinic if the good Dr. is gonna do it. I can combine it with visiting family in Ottawa, and I'll stay at CFB Trenton again.

I've been banned from Canada.

Posted by: MDG Aug 28 2012, 04:41 PM

No. Not banned.




Just politely asked not to come here again.

Posted by: swl Aug 28 2012, 05:19 PM

great idea - been a while.

John where are you going to be? Would be pleasure to meet the master of rust!

Posted by: MrHyde Aug 28 2012, 05:36 PM

Trenton is a bit of a drive from Marks... I grew up and still have family in Trenton... ahhh falling asleep to the drone of the Hercs.....

Posted by: balljoint Aug 28 2012, 05:43 PM

I will bring a running 914.

Posted by: balljoint Aug 28 2012, 05:43 PM

Unless I am in court that day.

Posted by: Scarlet75 Aug 28 2012, 06:37 PM

I would be in for one. Next summer definatley.

Posted by: boiledcabbage Aug 28 2012, 08:17 PM

Definitely interested - a year from now should be just about enough time to find the vacuum leak...

Posted by: Bleyseng Aug 28 2012, 08:33 PM

Crap, I was just in Markham for 10 days at a reunion and was looking for something to do besides follow the girls around while they shopped...

Posted by: clow Aug 28 2012, 08:47 PM

I am in! Hopefully I can bring a running teener. I also have lots of parts I am willing to donate/swap. Swap meet as well?

I was hoping to see a few at the Oshawa Autofest last weekend. Some VW's but I don't think I saw a single Porsche. I was there Sunday.

Why would anyone want to go to canadia?




Probably the only one in the country.

Posted by: MDG Aug 28 2012, 09:20 PM

What? Don't keep these things secret - I live right there . . .

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 28 2012, 11:35 PM

You Dufus's need to think big. Think like an Merican.

We have RRC, WCR and a handful of other events east of the Mississippi that I can't remember right now. How aboot a Iceberg Classic or a Woodcutters Reunion? You could have a tree cutting contest, moose wrestling and a drive to Ottowa to see that big ass goose.

Evenings could be spent in Sarnia with stacks of singles.

Make a weekend oot of it.

Posted by: balljoint Aug 29 2012, 06:23 AM

Erc is remembering the adult entertainment venue in Sarnia called Wendy's. What he doesn't realize is that it is a chain. You can see fine ladies at Wendy's right across the country.

On the thinking big idea I think we need to have it just big enough that Erc doesn't think he should show up.

Woody can come, but he would be murdered in his sleep. Anyone have a problem with that?

Posted by: Mark Henry Aug 29 2012, 09:35 AM

Well this sounds cool....guess we'll have to figure out a date.

Peteyd was afraid that he hijacked my thread, don't worry about it bud, I wanted to know if anything else was shaking in the 905. If I can I'll hit your show I'll be there.

I know I can get Mike Gallaway (mikes914's) to show up.

I don't want "big", I've tried that before, I don't want to be out of pocket, I don't want to charge admission, .....etc.
I do want a few 914 buds, listen to someone bullshit better than me, roast some flesh, pot luck, BYOB and hoist a few ales.

Erc I can get you across the border, I have a friend who um..."imports items" on the reserve. Very quick process, and fun! Two 300hp merc o/b's on a 17' aluminium fishing boat will put a smile on your face.
Just don't be fooled by that 25hp rating on the boats coast gaurd tag, remember in Canada that rating is in metric.

If you want to stay the weekend we have spot for your pup tent or tour bus, a couple of B&B's are in the area and a few motel/hotels in town.

Posted by: MDG Aug 29 2012, 09:57 AM

So, Mark . . . you are saying your Mohawk friends would essentially waterboard Erc across Lake Ontario?

Cool.

Posted by: Mark Henry Aug 29 2012, 10:29 AM

No, no they wouldn't do that. They are nice guys, they would never intentionally hurt Erc.

But....they might have to tie him to the bow, they need to counter weight the twin merc's. No blindfold, they like the passengers to enjoy the view.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 29 2012, 10:55 AM

Not a problem. I don't think I should show up regardless. Don't get me wrong, flannel and sable hats are really cool but, it may be a bit too far of a drive.



I'm good. Can we make it a double and take oot one of the females that thinks it's OK to breed with him too?



Cool... they sound friendly enough. And a good booat ride is always in favor.

Posted by: Woody Aug 29 2012, 11:48 AM

Posted by: MDG Aug 29 2012, 02:41 PM

Oh, you'll be there.

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 29 2012, 07:37 PM

I am definitely interested. I need to know when so I can start training my liver :drunk2:

I would be willing to do a clinic as well.

Posted by: swl Aug 29 2012, 08:05 PM

So you set yourself a goal of grad to get the first car running and it worked. Maybe you should be aiming at MSC 2013 to get the V8 on the road. Deadlines are marvelous things! Been really quiet on your build thread. Yeah yeah - school, money, time ... Don't want to hear the excuses.

Mark - what can we do to help make this thing happen? Potluck sounds good but you gotta promise no rain during flesh roasting!

Posted by: balljoint Aug 29 2012, 08:42 PM

Umm, Evil-Dad won't be going anywhere.

leoN already has enough reason to be unhappy with me.

Posted by: cantley914 Aug 29 2012, 08:43 PM

Count me in too,
Andy, will be great o meet again,

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 29 2012, 09:26 PM

Balance, my friend. I will then take the spawn whilst she goes off for a weekend. Noting is impossible unless it not be tried!

Dont be such a hater.

Posted by: balljoint Aug 29 2012, 09:29 PM

Not hating. How are your mammary glands?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 29 2012, 09:38 PM

Would all the Canadians please report back to the sandbox. This is why the sandbox was invented.

Posted by: Mark Henry Aug 30 2012, 09:24 PM

After this weekend I'll be MIA for the next 2 weeks so think of some dates for this to happen.

May can have blackfly and the May two-four weekend is traffic hell.
June is ok but it sometimes pours.
July is a fairly safe bet.
August is good, but sometimes the odd T-storm spoils the fun.
Both july 1st and the first weekend in august are long weekends, so more traffic.

We should have lots of time to get this to work.

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 30 2012, 09:40 PM

I am out until after mid June.

Posted by: wobbletop Sep 27 2012, 09:38 PM

Bump... Anyone going to Waterloo for the meet on Saturday?

Posted by: MrHyde Sep 28 2012, 03:55 AM

yup.. I'll be there after work sooo just after noon...

Posted by: wobbletop Sep 30 2012, 08:33 PM

I had to leave just before noon. The only 914 there but was fairly well received I think. My wife felt a little self conscious when we were driving in the driveway and everyone was looking at us.

Very cool cars there. And an impressive amount of porsche parts available. I will definitely be going back. Randy was pretty busy talking to everyone.

Posted by: BajaXJ92 Sep 30 2012, 09:39 PM

Posted by: MrHyde Oct 1 2012, 08:14 AM

I got there just as you were leaving then if you have a blue /6. Another green /4 showed just as i left.

Posted by: balljoint Oct 1 2012, 11:37 AM

Self conscious? I thought she bought you the car?

Posted by: MDG Oct 1 2012, 11:53 AM

I told you you shouldn't wear the clown nose and devil horns get-up.
