WOW, looks like it is a great location & should be fun but
It is the same weekend as the sportscar races at Laguna Seca.
This is the race series that used to be American Le Mans series.
I have a campsite overlooking the corkscrew, have to pay for early each year to keep it.

Oh yeah. Closer than Red Rocks. This one is close enough for the SoCal members. Plus we can all stay at Elyut's and save a ton of $$$. Ought to have one Hell of a Caravan from San Diego area! I looked at google maps which shows a 30 min difference between taking the 5 vs. the 101. Can that be right? If so, I'm in for the scenic route.

Damn! Why so early? 1st of May?
I wanna go.....

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Nov 6 2014, 10:24 AM

Lets pull a rabbit out of a hat and make this event Great. What makes an event is the people behind the cars.
I am hoping to see some friends as fare back as my first event in Lake Tahoe 1989 I think that was the year? And I am looking forward to meeting a whole lot of new friends.
It would be fun to see some photo from the early days is anyone wants to share.
If you can plan on booking rooms early our the day we confirm the Hotel. It helps the organizers allot the faster we all start booking room.

We will start considering a 914 Tune-up day a few weeks before the event so We can go over some cars to try and make sure you don't come home on a trailer.

Posted by: mapguy Nov 6 2014, 04:09 PM

Hope to have my car dialed in by then. Might come up either way!

Posted by: jim_hoyland Nov 6 2014, 04:55 PM

I have MY room booked! Do YOU?

When you call to reserve a room, they will take a card #, but nothing will be charged until you check in. And there is a 3 day cancelation.

So, even if you are in the middle of the 5 lug conversion or your heads are sitting on the work bench, if you think you might want to go, hold a room!

Info is on the first page.

Posted by: dlkawashima Nov 12 2014, 10:35 AM

If you're an AAA member, it looks like you can book Wednesday for $80.00 if you book through their online service (or probably if you call, too). Might be worth a call to ask about rate details.

Posted by: MATCHBOX914 Nov 12 2014, 11:49 AM

Can only make 2 nites and the Hotel has forced the 914 club to stay 3 nites at that rate! Freakin nice going!

Mike D. , heeltoe914 or don-6, Hello...?

Posted by: G e o r g e Nov 12 2014, 03:38 PM

as of now all online reservations are full at the San Simeon Lodge site. you have to call to get a room. YMMV

Posted by: jim_hoyland Nov 12 2014, 04:21 PM

DID YOU CALL ?

Posted by: Mike D. Nov 12 2014, 04:45 PM

Did you want to stay in your RV? or just park it in the lot as the party place?

The Manager said their was plenty of room for rv parking. However I don't think they want you staying in it. The entire north end of the parking lot will be ours to use.

San Simeon State Park is right there and has lots of RV sites if you want to RV it and tow your 914. They book up fast. If you want one book it NOW through Reserveamerica.com - the website says 80 of 166 sites are available.

I know Jim's from SLC- he's already offered help with my build. Eric hasn't spoken up but he may cruise with us also. I play with a Hamer... We'll hope for good weather for Rick and Aric. After RRC I was hoping for some support from the Colorado contingency to make it a caravan!

Posted by: Mike D. Nov 12 2014, 08:30 PM

Holy Cow, how big is your RV - I just put in 35 ft rv and 9 spaces showed up.

There is also Bella Vista in Cayucos, but you have to call them directly.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Nov 12 2014, 08:31 PM

We knew the club would Step-up when the announcements went out about a SOCal Ramble but boy you guys have really rocked-it with early booking and a great response.
From us all; Thanks You Thanks You Thanks You

You guys have takin some of the worries off our shoulders with the Hotel and planning. So if you have not booked yet and can spare a few buck please get the Ocean View Room. So you can:
Here the Roar of a type four motor with a crossover pipe. It Sounds like a Ferrari.
But only if its parked between the hallways with the Ocean View room.
Get an early sniff of Joe’s famous chili and after eating it you will wont to be close to the Ocean View AIR rooms.
And don’t take a chance on missing the parking lot antics, Like The 914 beer bottle over the shoulder toss first one to get 9 plastic bottle into the Targa wins.
All this is happening along with helping the organizers meet the room expectation
that we bargained for. This is the hotels Hot session so please help us out if you don’t wont to be at the end of the buffet line or be at the end of the line of each driving tour following
5 914s that blow 20- 50 oil.. And remember if you get a Ocean View room ( We’ll leave the light on for Ya)
Whatever you do please come enjoy and most of all Have a great time with us.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Nov 12 2014, 08:41 PM

Here is a nice drive I would suggest. I bet the PR Dept. at Fort Hunter would let us stop, gas up and eat. If not, there is gas near by for those with small tanks.

Bad news! When Joe left the SoCal contingency he took the RV. The good news is we all we be driving our teeners so that driveway is perfect. Once we get "good and schnockered" we can do some time trials. Then at midnight the 6's can have a burn out contest
And thanks for volunteering the back yard for us Pet Owners. This is going to be a great event, thanks to you Elyut!

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Nov 14 2014, 12:31 PM

Sorry about the RV. Any teeners found on my driveway will be immediately impounded by my private security staff. Pets will be shot on sight. Other than that, drop by any time.

This is the same weekend as the 356 club's north meets south down the road.

Posted by: don-6 Nov 17 2014, 10:02 PM

The 356 Club will be just down the road in Cambria. It will be great to see some other P-cars in the area. Maybe we will cross over and end up in the same locations.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Nov 18 2014, 07:26 AM

Could a printable flyer be posted on this thread ? I can post flyers in the local P shops and leave flyers on 914's at various local events. Just needs to provides the basic: Where, when, etc and a link to this thread or a link to a registration form.

A nice flyer that can be downloaded might ensure a larger turnout ?

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Nov 18 2014, 01:30 PM

Kinda like we did for the WCR 2013 in The Dalles. We drove down to Maupin, Oregon at the Deschutes River and the RendezVW Westfaia Meet was going on.

How they saw us...

The 356 club event is why we're not staying in Cambria. There were just no rooms left! And what there was were very expensive. C914SOB's :-)

Working on a flyer, didn't think about posting it though, good idea Jim. Thanks!

Posted by: Blue6 Nov 26 2014, 09:59 PM

Booked the room. Seems the teeners booked all the fancy a$$ north end ocean view rooms. They had to put late reservations in the south end. Leamon, hopefully you will have an empty lift and some time after the 1st of the year. She needs some work.

If you come down the coast through Big Sur (very recommended), If you can find it and don't go roaring past it try this place for lunch. http://nepenthebigsur.com/

Posted by: 76-914 Dec 9 2014, 03:18 PM

Elyut, what's the travel time difference between taking the 101 vs the 15? Google said 30 min's. Is that correct? I'd much rather take the scenic route if it isn't too much longer. And don't forget to check in with your Parole Officer this time. I thought for sure he was going to revoke your parole after that last trip.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Dec 9 2014, 04:31 PM

I would recommend jumping on Hwy 1 in Sal Luis Obispo and take the really scenic route

Posted by: 76-914 Dec 9 2014, 06:22 PM

Thanks Mike, appreciate that input. Looks like 42 miles of bliss. I used the SAT view from Google up close. I mean really up close. I could see fish.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Dec 12 2014, 02:37 PM

Absosuredly!

Can you also post a PDF version

Posted by: 76-914 Dec 19 2014, 08:30 AM

What is the most teeners we've EVER had at one event? Anyone know?

Posted by: jim_hoyland Dec 19 2014, 10:59 AM

It may have been the 2004. Count the 914s in the track picture. Joe Sharp had some bar-b-Ques that attracted over 50 914s. That was over the whole day....

We should easily be able to get 50 to San Simeon. Print Mike's poster and get them into the hands of 914 owners; we could end up with 75-100 cars.

Posted by: euro911 Dec 19 2014, 02:12 PM

Mike, have you guys determined what other costs may be involved? Looking at the flyer, it looks like all anyone needs to do is just show up?

Are there costs for
BBQ/catering?
Trophies?
Badges for registered attendees?

Posted by: Mike D. Dec 19 2014, 03:52 PM

Tried to post PDF, got a 404 error. ??

Maybe we can beat that this year.

51 cars in the 2004 photo at Mazda. IIRC there were over 80 at one time that weekend.

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Dec 19 2014, 07:15 PM

I hosted the 2004 WCC, there were 74 attendees most with 914s, but not all 914s made it to Laguna for the victory lap and photo.

I went home with lotsa goodies from that one. It was the last teener trip I did before I had to address the rust issues.
The soap looks surprisingly similar to the car currently with the primer showing through the black paint

Posted by: Cuda911 Dec 20 2014, 02:00 AM

Just came across this thread. Hmmm.... looks fun, I'll see if I can schedule it in.

The 356 Club will be HQ'd in Cambria at the same time. They expect 130+ cars to show up. May 2nd they will have an event in Del Mar Park down the road in Morro Bay

Ya, I think I set off every car alarm all the way to the top! I may still have the soap.

Posted by: Mike D. Dec 23 2014, 09:47 PM

Yeah, one of the disorganizers is a 356 registry member. It will not be a surprise, sorry guys.

Posted by: pisces914 Dec 23 2014, 11:12 PM

not to get off track with the 356 stuff, but . . .

the 356 north meets south (356 club not registry) often falls on the same weekend as r gruppe treffen - many years ago, we shared a lunch event with the 356 folks - 356's were parked in one section, and early 911's in another -

i was walking around checking out the cars and i got back to the r gruppe section, where i witnessed 3 middle aged PCA type ladies looking around - they looked like they just smelled a dead animal in the r gruppe section - one exclaimed, "let's go back to where the nice porsches are!" - that really cracked me up -

all in all, these 356 folks are very nice and welcoming, but 356's are their thing - i get it, as i'm also a 356 registry member, but i have a 356 outlaw, which had much more shock value a few years ago - psyched for the ramble in my 914!

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 24 2014, 01:16 PM

Definitely should crash the 356 party!

Posted by: jim_hoyland Dec 31 2014, 07:40 AM

120 days to WCR 2015 if you are on the line on this, you can make a cancellable reservation at the host motel. If you haven't been to San Simeon before, this is a family friendly locale with great scenery, places to go, and restful.

I sent Rob a PM asking if his wife still makes the badges and here was his reply:

"Best thing to do is just charge an additional $6 and get a badge for everyone who registers. Then, everyone knows everyone!"

Posted by: Mike Bellis Jan 12 2015, 10:30 PM

Is there an extra charge for a Conedodger badge?

Posted by: 914_teener Jan 12 2015, 11:02 PM

Mike didn't say anything in his post about registration......???


Besides....won't a piece of duct tape work? How bout a molded peice of JB weld with it inscribed? I'm gonna do that.

Got a room reserved but no registration. I feel left out!

Posted by: euro911 Jan 13 2015, 01:43 AM

Yeah, I noticed they didn't have a registration, nor a itinerary IIRC

Have the planners reserved breakfast, lunch and/or dinner banquet rooms anywhere?, or are we to dine wherever we can find a place?


Duct tape and a Shaprie if you wish ... I just thought it would be nice to have some sort of name tags like in the past. There's a lot of new folks that I haven't met attending our events now-a-days.


We have some time before the event happens, but I surely wouldn't want to push Shirley into a crunch mode to make badges for everybody attending

We're working on finalizing price of registration. I want the price to be the same as previous years. But I can easily add 6 bucks.

There will be a big notice when registration in open.

Do you guys want name tags?

Posted by: wes Jan 13 2015, 08:09 PM

Name tags would be nice and I'd be happy to pay the extra $$

Posted by: mgp4591 Jan 13 2015, 08:32 PM

Maybe you can make the measly $6.00 optional, for those who do want a nice engraved 914World tag.

Since one is regularly $10.00 (or $15.00 shipped) - what's not to like?

Posted by: Blue6 Jan 26 2015, 09:23 PM

I'll be bringing up a pair of 911 frt calipers ( never used since rebuild by PMB), a 911 5 lug front susp and brakes, rear 5 lug conversion, early targa top, early dash, 2- 8 grand tachs, misc gauges, center console, and what ever else I remove from the car before then.

Posted by: JRust Jan 26 2015, 11:11 PM

Seriously a swap meet at WCR . I can see the appeal somewhat. Problem is for the weekend & event's. Who the hell is bringing a load of stuff. Won't most of us be in our 914's. I know my car will be loaded with my stuff just to make it through the weekend. I won't have room to bring anything home. Guess there will be some closer that it may work? I guess I'll go on a nice drive during the swap

Posted by: Mike D. Jan 27 2015, 12:39 AM

The more Don, Leamon and I have been "planning", we've nixed the idea of a formal swap for the event. However, as there is plenty of "stand around in the parking lot and BS" time over the course of the weekend I see no reason why you couldn't set out a few items to swap if you want. My car will be full of wine and cheese... melted cheese :-)

Posted by: MATCHBOX914 Jan 27 2015, 05:28 PM

There will be one room available for those on the list.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Jan 31 2015, 07:08 PM

Nice!

Posted by: Mike D. Jan 31 2015, 09:14 PM

I just have a rough schedule right now. Most everything will be Friday and Saturday.

Thursday we will have a fun route planned from the LA area to the Hotel with little or no Freeway time. - Everyone should feel free to make local plans for a fun route.
Thurs. night is just check in, meet and greet, parking lot chit chat.
Friday there will be two separate tours as I have been informed that many folks don't care too much for wine or would prefer to drive more. So we plan to have a longer driving tour and a more local wine tasting tour. Then in the afternoon some games and car show. And Dinner is on your own.
Saturday is going to be a group tour with several photo op stops up and down Hwy 1. We are working out some specific details for this tour. A picnic lunch will be provided on this tour. Afternoon is more games and general parking lot malaise. Saturday Evening will be the awards banquet dinner and raffle/prizes etc.
Sunday is Bye Bye.
No Race, No Track time, Sorry to racers. But there will almost always be something going on. And time for you to look around and do some things on your own if you'd like.
If you want to visit the Hearst Castle, I recommend going on their website and pre-purchase tickets for a tour so you don't have to wait two hours when you get there.

Lots of fun with great 914 Friends!

Yeah I hope to have my wife with me. If not that hopefully one of my kids. Always hard to predict what will be happening then. We've got a family vacation to Disney World in a couple weeks. So my wife's vacation time will most likely be eaten up. Mine is no big deal so just depends what my son has going on. One of my girls is possible too but a little hard that time of year with her. So the odds are probably just as good I may be by myself . Bringing my son to Route 66. So won't be a big deal if he can't make WCR. Basically I don't know what the hell is happening other than I plan to be there

Thinking about taking my lovely wife there for our annual vacation. I've never really been to a rally, I'm new to the 914 world. We would fly in from Texas. Looks like San Jose is closer, rent and drive.

Anyone else flying in?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Feb 23 2015, 08:19 PM

Check flights into San Luis Obispo.

Posted by: SA-914 Feb 23 2015, 08:29 PM

Not bad to fly direct there $450/ea. I've got a southwest companion pass so my wife flies free with me. So I'm looking for a "close" swa airport. San Jose looks to be 3+ hours but would be a nice drive.

When is the deadline for registering? My health hasn't been to good lately, not sure if I'll make it, didn't want to spend the $ until I know if I can make it.
Even if I make it, doubt my car will, haven't worked on it much lately.

Posted by: wes Mar 14 2015, 01:34 PM

I really hate to own up to this but looks like Ill be in my truck again this year as Im really close (and excited) to getting my car on the road but Ive got a few hang ups that Im not sure I can get around in time. One is the dashboard being recovered and also Palo Alto Speedometer seems to be behind more than the given estimate due to a short crew after the new owners took over. So if anyone needs a rid or anything hauled down Ill have lots extra of space.

Posted by: 914_teener Mar 14 2015, 02:17 PM

Just bring yourself.....the cable to fresh air box I just replaced came off underneath the blower after taking it all apart and putting the gas tank back in.

So it goes.

The only deadline is for the banquet. They want to numbers a week in advance. HOWEVER, it would be nice to get a head count for the other meals, shirts, goodies etc.

The Vendors are coming in with some great freebies. Some for the goodie bags. I'd like to let them know what we need so I get something for everyone. Good Stuff.

I think there were like 85 in attendance at the ranch that day. That was the biggest WCR ever and I think the largest 914 meet in the USA of recent years..

I still remember I think Sir Andy cutting up a chocolate 914 with a sawzall.

If you have never been to the Hearst Castle, it is definitely worth seeing. It is amazing how much wealth and treasure W.R. Hearst acquired back in the days.
See you at the WCR.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 2 2015, 09:31 PM

I bet you have $36...

For those that have never been, it's worth the visit. Imagine how the 19th Century Aristocrats lived.

Maybe you'll even run into Patty Hearst... William Randolph Hearst owned thousands of acres along the coast. He even donated the property known as Fort Hunter Liggett to the Army. The entire area was his private hunting ground.

$36 does sound pricey for a museum tour but I never get down to this area much. I have done the day tour but the night tour sounds like fun.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 2 2015, 09:34 PM

There are several tours. We've done the Grand Rooms Tour twice! Looking forward to this tour as it is 1hr 40min and includes many new to me places. All others are 40min tours. Looking forward to some great wine as well.

Uhhhh....that would be a gear box. A 901 car...I would have to carry the wine and cheese up North.


Speaking of traveling, have been doing a little thinking about this trip. It has been said that a real 914 owner that prepares to break down, won't break down. With that said here is a list of items that I am taking with me "just in case"

D-jet.

Spare MPS
Spare ECU
Plastic caps in case something fails (this happend to Bnrat at the WCR)
Spare points and condensor

Nice to have but don't: Spare distributor

Tools:

As many as I think I need and will need to change out parts that I have.
LED Flashlight
Aluminum tape
Duct Tape

Engine:
Spare spark plugs
Extra Oil-2 quarts
Wire

Everthing else that would fail catastrophically like engine components I couldn't fix anyway.

The other thought I had was making sure that the route I took had cell service. I know if you come off from the 5 in the Central Valley from the Lost Hills....that the service is spotty and somewhat if downright boring drive which makes me want to take a coastal route.

Any other thought from the 914 collective?

I know Mike and Don were talking about a "interesting route" up there and I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts to the above or suggestions?

Thanks Guys...and Gals.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 7 2015, 03:04 PM

^^^
I add...

a towel to lay on under the car
rags for clean up
vinyl gloves to keep hands clean
extra water in case you are stuck somewhere a while
flat tire provisions

and a clutch cable as they have been known to randomly snap.

Otherwise if your car has been solid up to this point what's another 3 days.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 7 2015, 03:57 PM

If it starts a little later, say noon, it would give us more southern folks a chance to rendezvous
Maybe make a lunch stop out of the meetup point?

Posted by: euro911 Apr 7 2015, 04:00 PM

… and one of those little trunion block thingies (?) - a new cable is useless without one (unless you're lucky enough to find the old one somewhere in the roadway back where your cable snapped).



Why does my OS keep changing Trunnion to Grunnion?

Posted by: 914_teener Apr 7 2015, 04:13 PM

I can't leave until about 10 AM for me on Thursday....that way we'll skip traffic anyway until we are out of LA County.

I know Mike will probably chime in on this eventually. I was thinking of the 101 route near Solvang instead of the Central Valley route. If you are coming from Vegas though that be longer for ya.

Posted by: 914_teener Apr 7 2015, 04:15 PM

Good suggestions though. Thanks.

Where does that trunion go Mark?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Apr 7 2015, 04:25 PM

If anyone at the WCR breaks down, I am about 45 minutes from the hotel. I have tools, jack stands (of course), a lift in my garage and a truck with a hitch and tow bar. If need be I can rent a trailer and come pick you up (if it comes to that). I will only be at the WCR on Saturday but will be available all week end long if you need help. My cell is 805 nine, seven, five, 6616.
Cheers, Elliot

Posted by: euro911 Apr 7 2015, 04:36 PM

Cable passes through it at the clutch release arm:



You might want to carry a 1" long spacer, two nuts (for the cable end) and a couple of 11mm wrenches with you too

I would like to split a room with somebody….? PM me?

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Apr 7 2015, 06:17 PM

Is that Howards car? It always puts a smile on my face when I see Howard's picture or his car great memories. .. for those of you who didn't know him you missed the opportunity to know a great guy. Cheers Howard✌

Thanks Eliyut!

I am splitting a room with Chris from Vegas. So my room is available if someone wants my reservation. I'll be canceling it at the end of the week if nobody jumps on it

Dang, I've been trying to snag one of these rooms, I'm always late….

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 7 2015, 09:19 PM

I'd add an alternator, variable resistor w/ 1M & 1F spade ends, VOM, short piece of 8mm FI hose, ass't hose clamps, ass't fuses, fuel pump, couple of relays, etc.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 7 2015, 10:23 PM

Not by much, relatively speaking. +50 miles and 1 hour.
I traditionally stop at the Barstow In-n-Out for food/getting off my butt. So after further consideration, more likely now to be around Oxnard 2-3ish.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 7 2015, 11:41 PM

Yep, that's Suzie up front. Howard was a class act. I still miss him.

Posted by: mgp4591 Apr 8 2015, 01:08 AM

Chris, I'll be in Vegas overnite Wednesday and would love to meet up for the cruise into SoCal and up the coast if you can stand the company of a lowly Subaru Impreza...

Posted by: rick 918-S Apr 8 2015, 06:51 AM

We fly into Palm Springs Thursday morning around 11:00 am If decide to go through PS and the southern route we would like to connect. Either way we could catch you guys.

Posted by: rick 918-S Apr 8 2015, 07:17 AM

We have an open room at the host hotel. I booked two rooms thinking my son and daughter in law would be coming. Alan and Terry were thinking about attending but the stars did not align for them. I will be cancelling the room first part of next week unless someone wants it.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 8 2015, 08:03 AM

I'll speak up for Larmo, since he can't get his ass out of bed. He wants the room Rick. As soon as he gets up he'll chime in.

Posted by: JRust Apr 8 2015, 12:25 PM

Just called Renee so you just need to call & they will swap it to you. Looking forward to meeting you at WCR.

Posted by: 914_teener Apr 8 2015, 12:45 PM

This is the route I was thinking of.

Except I have to go on the other side of the San Gabriels 210 to 101 through Oxnard.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 8 2015, 02:23 PM

FWIW, we plan on eating lunch in Thousand Oaks around noon if anyone else wants to join up there. From there it will be the 101 to the 1 to San Simeon. ETA 1700hrs.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 8 2015, 02:59 PM

The more the merrier.

Don't know what route JP took for Route 66, hopefully he'll chime in. I can't speak for the others if they want to deal with the mid day Valley traffic. Stop and go traffic will not make my knee happy.

This is 1:30pm today. Destination is some random shopping center in Ventura on the forward side of the freeways.


Picking up Rick.


Possible compromise rendezvous at the 15 and 210.

Posted by: 914_teener Apr 8 2015, 03:22 PM

It seems like it is ALWAYS bad going through the San Fernando Valley until you get to about Camarillo.

Almost makes you wanna take the PCH.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Apr 8 2015, 04:57 PM

It's too windy to work on the car..... so I've been playing with ideas.

It looks like Rick should make Ventura County around 3pm. To meet him there we should leave Vegas around 9:14 am

We'll just need someone local to pick a good lunch stop in the Ventura vicinity and lead us out-of-towners through the twisties Or we'll just copy the caravan leaving before us

If Googles accurate, we'll be in San Simeon 7ish.

Posted by: JStroud Apr 8 2015, 06:31 PM

I'm not going to make it, if anyone needs my hotel reservation let me know.
Jeff


Room Gone!

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 8 2015, 08:20 PM

I will be arriving in San Simeon on Wednesday afternoon. Just in case anyone else is stupid early.

Posted by: VegasRacer Apr 8 2015, 09:15 PM

Your 'Picking up Rick' map looks about right.
I-15 to Cima Road. Kelso train Station. Amboy on Rt 66. Hwy 62 to I-10.
Going home I took I-10 to Hwy 95 North. (more traffic and less passing zones)

Posted by: rick 918-S Apr 8 2015, 09:53 PM

When you leaving JP? You always pick the best route!

Posted by: VegasRacer Apr 8 2015, 10:50 PM

I plan to leave Vegas Wednesday afternoon. I will take I-15 to Hwy 2, the http://angelescrestscenichighway.com/ and drop in the L.A. area on the 101.
Then I can join the *official* caravan from the start on Thursday morning.


(I haven't been to the James Dean memorial since 2006 so that will be part of the route home.)

We're ting for 0400-0600. The wife and I are hitting some vintage and antique shops in Cambria on Thursday if anyone else wants to join in. This venture is usually good for 50 brownie points and enables me to attend these events.

Posted by: VegasRacer Apr 11 2015, 11:57 PM

Count me in.




I've got a hotel near the Pier in Santa Monica Wed night. (anybody recommend a favorite joint for crab legs?)
Breakfast on the beach and a nice canyon run should put me in 1000 Oaks for lunch. Pick a place.

Anybody else from So Cal also going up on Wednesday?

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 12 2015, 08:34 AM

yep. Me and the wife are leaving Wed as well. Right around 1000hr's. Should have noted that in my last post. So, yes we plan on Thousand Oaks area lunch Wed. Sorry if that messed you up John.

Hi, Everyone. I know a few have been waiting for this. Sorry so late, but if anyone would like to join a caravan from the Santa Clarita area on Thurs. morning here is route I have planned. I have done this before and it's a lot of fun, with some great views and very little freeway driving. We can also stop by the James Dean Memorial and raise a glass (or a can ) I was thinking 10 or 11ish, to give people time from south and east, and near the Magic Mountian Parkway exit.
Let me know if you are interested in joining so we don't leave anyone behind.

^^ Then I should probably put the engine back in the car and the BMC, and new fuel pump, and pedal cluster, and new gauge cluster, and interior, and something I'm forgetting right now.

Don't worry, I'm a professional, and I have the week free.

Posted by: mgp4591 Apr 20 2015, 02:33 AM

Well I changed out my trans and diff fluids, new coolant and an oil change, new brakes and checked all tire pressures so I'm ready to go! Oh, and it really doesn't count- it's on my Subaru...

Let me know if you want to join, we'll be going through Pine Mountain to Blue Star Memorial Hwy to Hwy46, James Dean memorial, etc.

Is any leaving LA on Friday? a Newbie is looking for a caravan, safety in numbers, you know!

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 23 2015, 12:43 PM

I will be at 680/580 junction around 2:15pm Wednesday if anyone wants to tag along. Look for the 914 on a trailer.

I'll be leaving the Bay Area on Thursday, early afternoon.

Starting in Oakland, going down #880 to #101, then cut over to #1 near Salinas and hitting #1 near Marina.

We will be leaving Thursday about 5:30. Probably get there about 10-11, so most of you will be asleep (Hopefully...)

Still havent decided on the Fiesta ST or her auto Genesis Coupe turbo. Leaning heavily towards the Fiesta, but she's no good with the clutch so it'll be me driving all the time.

Gotta remind myself to put the spare back in the Fiesta...

The LV "Hangover" Caravan for out-of-staters on Thursday.

Meet, eat, then depart Mountain Top Cafe @ 1:00pm. Then Angeles Nat Forest. Possible second meet & gas up in Valencia (Santa Clarita) Ventura around 2:30pm. 101/1 up the coast. Then what Mike D. said
San Simeon about 9, or just in time for more drinking

Times subject to adjustment depending upon participants. PM me if you want in.

I'm not married to it. So far only Me and Mike (mgp4591) are known to be coming from Vegas/the South East. I can drive this route home, I have to stop in Pasadena anyways. If there is more interest in a coastal route then as long as the time frame works.
Taking Pearblossom instead of Angeles Mtns cut an hour from the drive if an earlier depart time is needed.

Posted by: forrestkhaag Apr 24 2015, 06:04 PM

This event will be a blast / and as a former employer of many, the orginazation required to pull if off is a tremendous effort. Special thanks to the org.

I am driving up Thursday and my lovely wife is following in her SUV (custom 914 tow bar install tow truck) on Friday.

Of course Larmo63 will be strutting around the grounds with his newly installed thru-hood gas cap assembly ( completed in my shop in Laguna) and well done in one session to-boot. the hole saw is headed for my hood soon.............

See you all there.

Posted by: StratPlayer Apr 24 2015, 07:25 PM

Talked with eric today, he assurred me that I will be able to pick up the car monday evening. Cutting it close, we're leaving tuesday. So it looks good for me having my teener for this event. Thanks Jamie for the offer.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 24 2015, 09:48 PM

I hope you're putting it on a trailer. That's a long maiden voyage...

Posted by: G e o r g e Apr 24 2015, 10:17 PM

I screwed up and landed to many jobs, and now cannot get away next thursday or friday, so I am going to miss this WCR.

Second room is available, I will cancel my reservation Sunday.

Posted by: forrestkhaag Apr 25 2015, 08:11 AM

Is there an updated schedule of events available for drive and arrival timing? thanks

Posted by: Mueller Apr 25 2015, 08:22 AM

Bummer, I looked forward to meeting you in person.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 25 2015, 08:25 AM

Looking forward to a few days off.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 25 2015, 09:37 AM

Yeah, me too, G e o r g e ...

Posted by: StratPlayer Apr 25 2015, 10:02 AM

Yes its going on a trailer to the ramble.

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Apr 25 2015, 03:55 PM

*Update: I must interupt your regularly scheduled programming for this important news! Elliot Cannon, I repeat Elliot Cannon is not in San Simeon waiting for everyone to arrive at the WCR! He is still in Paso Robles! That is all...return to your usual programming.

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 26 2015, 02:28 PM

Where is the WCR event uploader thread? Sir Andy? I think it's time...

Posted by: McMark Apr 26 2015, 02:36 PM

It's up!

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 26 2015, 03:16 PM

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Apr 26 2015, 04:05 PM

Heh, heh! That wasn't really me.

Posted by: VegasRacer Apr 26 2015, 09:34 PM

I will see you there with a clean windshield and a full tank of gas.

Posted by: Blue6 Apr 26 2015, 09:41 PM

See ya Thurs afternoon......

Posted by: Mike D. Apr 26 2015, 11:19 PM

Hello Ramblers! Your fearless leaders just had a goodie bag stuffing party and we're just about ready to hit the road! Well, Thursday anyway, I'll be ready then...
And I thought what should I bring...."Car, pants, jacket, shoes, clean underwear..."

But seriously:
*folding chair
*sun screen
*hat
*jacket
*small cooler with drinks and snacks - this is important for the Friday drives and Saturday picnic and drive. Please, everyone, get a some drinks and snacks for yourself to carry in a cooler for our drives on Friday and Saturday. We are stopping for meals but please channel your inner boy scout and be prepared.

Posted by: Mike D. Apr 26 2015, 11:29 PM

Itinerary is listed in a post on page 23.Thanks!

Posted by: euro911 Apr 27 2015, 12:50 AM

Well, looks like I lost my 914 ride while at the WCR

Anybody have an empty seat available? I have gas $ (and a Go Pro)

Posted by: VegasRacer Apr 27 2015, 02:10 AM

Is it time yet?

Posted by: JRust Apr 27 2015, 07:45 AM

I'll have an empty seat available. Should be multiple so you can spread yourself around. I've done a few this way. Nice to get the feel of some different drivetrain's over a weekend. Going to be fun weekend

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 27 2015, 08:04 AM

What? I thought the BB was running?? You didn't work on it again did you? Just kidding. I think my punch list is complete sans a car wash. See some of you Wednesday and the rest of ya'll Thrs.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Apr 27 2015, 09:48 AM

OK
been a few yrs since I was able to attend ...
Gonna have to drive my truck down to tow a car home & to make time over the road.
So Ill be looking for a seat.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 27 2015, 12:34 PM

Thanks, Jamie. Maybe I can get some more in-car footage to add to ERC's video? (in addition to your repair session).


The 'BB' is running fine, Kent ... and I was originally planning on driving it there

Then things took a turn and Rich was kind enough to transport my Honda Mini 50 down to the event from WA. Problem is that it won't fit in the 'BB'.

The only other German vehicle with enough space to finish the trip home is 'Eileen'

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Apr 27 2015, 01:13 PM

Hey Mark, Elliott Cannon and myself are here in Paso Robles. I have a 2 car garage that is empty right now and could store it for you until you can come get it. Atleast its closer than WA? Let me know. I give JRust, McMark, Dr.Evil and E-L-L-I-O-T as references (I hope they are cool with that)!! Don't hold it against me.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 27 2015, 02:55 PM

What a deal . Now you gotta drive your 914, Mark.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 27 2015, 05:39 PM

It's something definitely worth pondering

Unfortunately, I don't think Mr. Cannon will be gracing us with his presence at the next G&R&B


Hmmm ...

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Apr 27 2015, 07:04 PM

That's OK. I"ll keep it till I come down next.

Posted by: Blue6 Apr 27 2015, 10:15 PM

Mark, I'm bring an enclosed trailer, and would gladly bring your bike down. I'm in Brea. I've met you at a couple of G&R's.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 28 2015, 01:15 AM

How come I can envision you trying to stuff it into the cargo hold on your plane?

Posted by: euro911 Apr 28 2015, 01:23 AM

I appreciate the offer and that's another possible solution - we can discuss it over a few beers It'd be easy enough for me to drive up to Brea and retrieve it afterwards

Whatever the outcome, the 'BB's coming

Posted by: hndyhrr Apr 28 2015, 06:22 AM

Just about 47 and a half hours and. I am hitting the road! Wooooo Hooooo.

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 28 2015, 07:43 AM

Hey Mark, Since the BB is going, do you want to meet up somewhere along on the way? We should be in Thousand Oaks/Oxnard area arounds 12:30, Wednesday?

Posted by: euro911 Apr 28 2015, 01:28 PM

Sure thing, Kent.

You're probably coming up the '5' though, right?

I'd be heading up the '405' mid-morning, so we could meet in 1k Oaks.

Isn't there a group gathering there for lunch anyway?

Posted by: mgp4591 Apr 28 2015, 08:06 PM

Just a last minute request- if anyone has some 911 rotor/hubs they'd like to exchange for cash at WCR, please send me a PM if you would. Not looking for a 5 lug conversion but the real, vented 911 type that many are using on their conversions. I'm looking for some to play with and eventually use and I thought this may be a good opportunity to check into this. If not so be it, it's still gonna be a blast!

Posted by: PDXMike Apr 28 2015, 09:10 PM

Came home from dinner to find that the neighbor kid across the street had backed into my tow vehicle. Didn't look too bad, but the driver's door is sprung pretty good. It takes some lifting to get it shut and the top of the window frame is flapping in the breeze. Would be a long, loud ride down.

Insurance will pick up most of the cost to rent a replacement truck but I'll be picking up the gas for the 16ft box truck and flatbed trailer. They won't let me tow with anything smaller. I'm just thrilled they have something available.

Here's something funny, Penske wouldn't rent a truck and car trailer for a round trip. Has to be one way. Arguing with the phone rep was a bit like . Eventually I just agreed to rent it on one side of Portland and make a "one-way" trip to another Penske location 6 miles away. I will be making a short 1700 mile side trip for a stop in San Simeon along the way.

See you all on Thursday!!

PDX Mike

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 28 2015, 09:14 PM

I covered this in the PM I sent you but will repeat it here in case there are others. Eddy and I will be in the Ventura area around 1:00-1:30 and ready to cruise once we all connect. Wendy wants to stop somewhere along the way for lunch but it isn't pinned down yet. Probably best that we eat before Ventura so we can adjust our ETA if req'd. Google says I have a 40 minute variance in my route so I may grab an In n Out if running behind. If early I'll park my butt in a restaurant of my wifes choosing, somewhere. Mark, PM me your cell number and I'll call you when I get on the road manana.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 29 2015, 01:25 AM

Packed up & ready to go …


Does anybody have two spare speed nuts that you can bring? I misplaced the ones from my side grilles while I was refurbishing them

… just need a couple to keep the grilles from flying off during the drive(s)

Posted by: forrestkhaag Apr 29 2015, 08:05 AM

I am heading out of Laguna up the 405 around 4:30am to get thru LA morning traffic without too much hassle. Larmo63 may join / at the same time. Hope to see some teeners headed in the same direction.

Posted by: forrestkhaag Apr 29 2015, 08:07 AM

Also, has a list of events or a schedule been established for this event so as to load in a few items for the swap meet? thanks

Posted by: hndyhrr Apr 29 2015, 08:12 AM

I am leaving tomorrow morning at 5 am from Medford, Or, with a stop in San Jose and one in Scotts Valley,Ca. Driving the blue Rav4 so if some crazy lady honks and waves at you it is me.

Posted by: Larmo63 Apr 29 2015, 10:03 PM

I'm leaving REAL early.

I just hope I get a little sleep. Why am I so excited to see all of you goobers???

Posted by: streetrover Apr 29 2015, 10:04 PM

A quick look at the satellite photo of the hotel doesn't seem to show any trailer parking. Where would be best to park a very long trailer hitched to a very long truck?
Bob

Posted by: Bossman Apr 29 2015, 10:14 PM

In the field next to the hotel - with the other trailers!

Posted by: streetrover Apr 29 2015, 10:21 PM

SUPER! Thanks!

Posted by: JRust Apr 29 2015, 10:38 PM

I am officially on the road. Stopped at work in Eugene to finish a few things. Put a mattress in the back of the van. So I am driving tonight until I am tired. The hitting a rest stop to sleep. Of course I forgot to throw a damn blanket in the back

Posted by: euro911 Apr 29 2015, 11:40 PM

Where the heck are you guys? We arrived not too much later that youse guys and see your cars

The trip up was fine - met up with Kent (76-914) and Wendy in Ventura and blasted up the coast at astounding speed at times

Wireless internet connection up in my room (209) SUCKS ... had to come to the lobby to check my mail & post here

Had happy hour drinks & dinner with Kent, Jim (Stratplayer), Jerry (Green914) & their wives.

Going back up stairs now ... two lovely German Frauleins are my neighbors

Posted by: JRust Apr 30 2015, 08:40 AM

In Red Bluff at a Denny's for breakfast. Stopped for 2 naps during the night. I think I'm about 6 hours out depending on traffic? Still up for meeting anyone for a Caravan in Route. I'll be on I5 for another 11+ miles. GPS has me on the 505 after that I think. My cell is 5four1 5one0 00eight6

You are going to be right in the middle of commute traffic until you get past San Jose.

Couldn't find anything on pg15 but I wasn't sure if I should count back from 28 skipping odd numbered pages or just divide the number of pages by 914 and add 6.
Page 23 was much more informative.

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 3 2015, 02:59 PM

I would like to extend a big thank you to the organizers, family and froends for making this a great WCR!

It was a great weekend. Got home about an hour ago, unpacked and glad I am off work tomorrow.

Sir Andy, I need to pace myself when drinking with you...

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 May 3 2015, 03:37 PM

I also would like to thank this years ring-masters of the circus we call our world family members WCR meet! Every year i look forward to seeing my porsche family and every year you never disapoint me. From the first member i met (joe sharp in tahoe) to the most recent (cj in san simeon), you all remind me of the passion for our cars and give me the motivation i need. Thanks again for the awesome weekend that every year i second guess about spending the money to attend, but its totally worth every penny!!!!

Posted by: SirAndy May 3 2015, 07:10 PM

Posted by: 914_teener May 3 2015, 09:52 PM

Just got home. Finally lost the ignition switch stopping in Fillmore stopping for a cup of coffee and to drain the radiator...so to speak. Turned the key and no joy. As fortune would have it, parked on purpose on a hill...turn the key and popped started it like the old days when I couldn't afford a new battery.

It was great seeing old friends and community members that I have not met before. Especially the guys from up North that drove a long way to this event. It was a beautiful site (San Simeon) and my wife and I had a great time. The drives and country scenes were absolutely spectacular. It is not often folks of such diverse backgrounds can get together to talk about our common interest.....our cars.

Special thanks to Sir Andy...who makes this site possible along with others. The sponsors for the event, PMB, 914 Rubber, Original Customs, and especially Tina, Don, Mike, Erin and Leamon who put it all together.

Sorry for the long post, but it takes a lot of work to do this and just wanted to express our appreciation.

Rob and Susan

Posted by: euro911 May 3 2015, 10:28 PM

I had an awesome time from start to finish … except getting sick a few hours after the award dinner, but that's another story for another time.

Major kudos to the event coordinating team, everything was superbly executed from beginning to end

It was really good to see old friends as well as meeting new ones. In addition, it was a real pleasure to finally shake hands with established members that were only avatars, forum posts and phone conversations for so many years

I'll add that WCR 2015 is gonna be hard to beat, but looking forward to 2016 and [hopefully] many more to come …

Thank you all for making it another great event to remember !

Posted by: Andyrew May 3 2015, 10:40 PM

Fantastic event, very well organized! We especially liked the wine tour!

Met some great people and had some wonderful conversations, look forward to the next one! Maybe I can convince Jerika to setup a napa/murphys/lodi wine tour

Posted by: JRust May 3 2015, 11:32 PM

Thanks to all the organizers! You guys put on a great WCR. Turnout was awesome & things were well planned start to finish. Absolutely great weekend. I just made it home safely

Posted by: Blue6 May 3 2015, 11:42 PM

Ok all you West Coast Ramblers, looking for the owner of a heavily cracked dash top, probably a core. Last night someone left it by my trailer. Unknown if it was supposed to go to someone, or if it was discarded. LMK....
Also thank you to everyone that participated, and special thanx to the event organizers. Outstanding time !

Posted by: Mike D. May 3 2015, 11:55 PM

Hi all, home safe and sound! 2 beers and 2 margaritas for relaxation.

I really want, again, to thank everyone who came out to the event. YOU are the ones who make these events great. I also know of several folks who really wanted to come out and thank you guys too. All the chatter keeps the thread on the first page and really brings awareness for the WCR.

I also want to thank all our sponsors again, and those who stepped up at the last minute and helped.

Mark D. / McMark brought a bunch vintage WCR/WCC items, and Original Customs shirts that we gave away. Thanks!

John P. / VegasRacer, who is a collector of really cool car art and custom P-car license plates, gave us some Route 66 shirts and a great WCR '09 license plate. If you were there in '09 then you already have one.

John / Kapt'n Crusty donated some vintage 914 Ramble hats and a great piece of 914 art, that went home with VegasRacer, of course!

Someone else also threw in a couple of R66 shirts that went into the raffle. Erin couldn't remember who. Thanks

BIG BIG thanks to Mark W. / mikey914 and the entire 914Rubber.com family! "Seven!" It was great to finally meet you guys. Thanks for all the great give aways and for livening up the eternal raffle! We were so lucky to have TOO many donations!

Eric S. at PMB for the give away that Everyone wants, including me.

Jaime / Oldskool, American Printworks, came through with our great T-shirts when it was crunch time. Thanks.

Jenna B. at Sierra Madre Collection
Mark T. at Stoddard
Alex W. at PreTech Motorsports
Dave B. at TREMotosport
Alex and family at Resotration Design
Craig at Camp914
Steve M. at Fourteener Magazine (I've got that article coming, I promise!)
Perry K. at 914Limited
Carrie S. and 914Central

SirAndy, for whom none of this would be possible!

Don and Tina Cameron for all the help
Leamon Stansell (123skylights.com for the banner and stickers) for all the experience and help.
And of course my wife! Never forget the wife in a thank you speech!

This is like an Oscar speech, I probably forgot someone, but I hope not.
Love this event, I had a great time and look forward to someone else doing this next year!

Big thanks to Mark for getting our car running so we could enjoy some of the driving.

Thanks,
Jerry & Cynthia

Posted by: Mueller May 4 2015, 11:02 AM

Thanks to the sponsors and thanks to the organizers...

I had a GREAT time....

Thank you Jim H for letting me drive your 914 on Friday...

Thank you Sandy for letting me drive the 996 Turbo all day Saturday, my drive home was boring....now 385hp is not enough for a daily driver!

Very inspirational event, I will be making more of an effort to get my car(s) on the road ASAP.

I hope to bring the wife and kids next time...it was a very expensive trip for me..well, not me directly..the wife took the twins to SF for the weekend and was not shy with the Amex card!

Oh yea, and thanks to those that had to remind me I am damn near bald...what I heard from more than one person: "I thought that was you, you had more hair last time I saw you!"

I also showed massive amounts of restraint..someone was selling a decent set of 2Liter Fuchs for $300 that I passed on, it was so tempting!

Posted by: forrestkhaag May 4 2015, 01:04 PM

A great time for all and we appreciate the efforts put forth by the organizers. Susan and I had to miss the banquet and awards ceremonies due to other social plans in Cambria however we were fairly confident that, based on my car's condition, no certificate-paper would be wasted on our not being there......

Congratulations to all involved / Thru the blurry eyes of a 914nut, it looked like a mileOcars!!.

Posted by: sb914 May 4 2015, 02:28 PM

Looks like more cars than were there.

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 4 2015, 02:51 PM

No that's exactly how many cars that were photo-shopped photographed...

Posted by: Andyrew May 4 2015, 03:12 PM

Yes, there was certainly 58 914's by the garage that day

Posted by: sb914 May 4 2015, 03:17 PM

That looks pretty suspicious , I don't recall all those cars in the first lot. But who knows I can't remember what I had for lunch

Thanks, Now back to your regularly scheduled program.....

Posted by: streetrover May 4 2015, 07:56 PM

Again...many, many thanks and kudos to the organizers of this event! Erin, Tina, Mike, Leamon and Don...you all did a magnificent job! I had a great time and returned home happy after having met many wonderful people! Is there now a new thread where we can post the pictures we took from the drives and gatherings? Also, I saw several folks with go-pro video cameras....I would love to get my hands on some video of the drives. 40+ 914's in a row along the coastal highway was truly inspirational! Oh and the twists and turns of Nacimiento (sp) Rd was awe inspiring!

Fantastic event. The organizers and organization was first class. Kudos to the team.

Great people and great cars in attendance. A good time was had by all I came in contact with.

Hopefully my car will be ready well before the next one.

Thanks for letting my non-914 hang around.
