914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Attention WI-IL-IN-MI-OH 914World 7th Annual BBQ
Posted by: Garold Shaffer May 28 2014, 09:48 PM
It's offical!
The 7th Annual NorthWest Indiana 914 BBQ will be held on August 16th 2014. So save the day!
****** Brad Mayeur will be here to help answer any and all questions*********
Because of my employment situation we are asking if possible to please bring side dish to share. We will have the big ice tray cooler so we can keep cold food cold.
Menu will include, but not limited to:
Burgers, Brats, Dogs
Soda, Water, Ice tea, and Coffee BYOB if you want anything else.
You don't need a 914 to come. We have plenty of room. I have chairs, but its a good idea to bring your own.
Doors open 10:30am central, that's 11:30am for eastern time guys 
My address:
Garold Shaffer
6852 Prairie Run Ave
Portage In 46368
219-730-9205 (cell)
Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Toll road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).
Directions:
From I94 take Exit 19 (Portage / Port of Indiana) south to 1st stop light (Rt 20). Turn left (east) on RT 20 to first stop light, aprrox 1 mile (sameulson road). Turn Right (south) on Sameulson rd. Go to 3rd stop sign (central ave) and turn left (east) on Central Ave. My subdivison is on the left about 1/8 mile called Prairie Run. Turn in and stay left, we are 5th house on left. You will see my 914(s) in the drive. Don't worry about parking in my drive, all 914s mark their spots and I have cleaner.
I will put out a few signs with 914 & arrows on them once you get to central ave to help direct you on your way.

I missed last year when my wife decided to have her appendix out. She's only got the one though, so I should be good to go this time.

I couldn't make it last year but looking forward to it this August. Plus I need to make as many contacts as possible for parts. Lol! Thanks for keeping it going.

Hi Garold - not sure yet if I'll make it up this year, the 914 is up on jackstands getting all new fuel lines.
That aside, if I'm not working, I'll try to make it up this time.
Oh, did you sell the Bumblebee you had listed to a guy from Indianapolis? I met a guy with a nice 912 at
the Zionsville Porsche show a couple weeks back that had that classified clipped out and stuck in his
wallet....he was looking for a project car. I didn't catch his name...

I sold it to a guy in Michigan

Even if folks can't bring their cars (jackstands don't travel well?), you can still come by for the party. Garold is a wonderful host and it's always been a nice time.

It appears that "Up on jack stands having the fuel lines replaced" is the standard condition for 914's in Central Indiana, as mine is in the same status as Java's. Hopefully I'll have mine done in time.
Posted by: Garold Shaffer Jul 30 2014, 10:08 PM
No running 914 need to come, just need to have the 914 sickness. Besides I have plenty of non running 914s here so you can claim one for the day.

Any chance Brad Mayeur might come up to share his expertise?

Mine is actually off the jack stands now but am having problems with kinked hoses under the fuel tank so......hopefully I'll get that fixed up this weekend! It would be nice to
before the end of the summer!

Ok, Got my schedule changed around so I will be there with my new Tangerine six.

Glad you can make it! I'm hoping to bring my conversion car this time. Looking forward to a great time.

If you feel like bringing something to share, feel free to do so. Really the only thing you need to bring is a chair, while we have some, we can always use more.

See you tomorrow

I already have some potato salad and cole slaw in the fridge ready to pack up and bring. See folks tomorrow, rain or shine!

See you tomorrow
Hey Glenn!
What happened to
"race weekend?" Glad to hear you'll be able to make it!
Posted by: pnewman Aug 15 2014, 10:22 PM
Mike and I are meeting up North in Wilmette IL at 10:00am for coffee then south bound.
I passed Mike while on the ambulance and saw his tangerine. Sharp ride Mike.
If anyone wants to: " pull a train..."
I mean "convoy" from up North send me a pm by 8am tomorrow with a cell #.
Garold Rocks!
Peace and happiness.

As always, Garold put on a great party and managed to get any rain to hold off to make for a wonderful get-together. Thanks to all that made it out today!
Posted by: earossi Aug 16 2014, 08:12 PM
I'm new to 914's and newer to this Forum; however, I did make it out to Garold's place today for the get together. I was surprised to find some folks there that I had met before at PCA events and I had previously met Brad Meyure about 7 years ago, so I felt right at home.
I do want to thank Garold and his wife for hosting the festivities. My unofficial count was that somewhere between 10 and 20 enthusiasts were in attendance.
Thanks again Garold.
