A 914 is not required to attend. In fact there is usually an award for the Best Non-NARP.
JRust will be and I will be a Las Vegas caravan. Join us. It will be good to roll with you again Chris.

My daily beater is more of a utility sort for an off-pavement sport. However it does make a good transport for a vq35.

I would call the hotel and ask. There might be an RV park/storage place that will let you park it there for a few days.

Booked a room today. I tried to book it online with the AARP discount, but it won't work for that particular weekend ... so I called and got a AAA discount
TOTAL ROOM RATE: (2 nights) $ 125.98 US DOLLAR SPOT (Taxes are not included)
I guess the person I spoke with doesn't know much about PORSCHE clubs or the marque in general - UNDER GROUP: PORSCHA CLUB 
... or maybe he has heard of 914s - as he asked if I needed a rental car while I was in town

Great price mark.
I need to see if I can cancel my online reservation. It's 180. ???
I'll try tomorrow and then call myself. Can't believe you saved 55?
Posted by: Alphaogre Dec 23 2014, 08:59 PM
This looks like a blast. I'll prob call and reserve a room after Christmas.

Mike, are your plans to commute? If so we could hook up Saturday AM for the run over the mountains to Palm Springs.
Posted by: brant Dec 24 2014, 11:33 AM
just cancelled my online reservation and called to make a reservation over the phone. adult male on the phone told me he is the new owner and that they close on the property in 2 weeks. Told me that he may not be honoring previous reservations and wouldn't make one with me...
wtf!
claimed he had told expedia 2 weeks ago that he would be remodeling and may not be open in march. Uncertain until he closes on the property.
not super friendly about any of it
I'll give John a heads up
probably will play out in 2 weeks and be fine

Wonder if it's a situation like a car dealership my sis-in-law used to work for ... two brothers actually owned it, but they transferred full ownership of the business back and forth between them every year, so the employees never gained enough seniority to earn vacation time, etc.
Just got my Westy back from the shop today - maybe I'll just drive the Westy and take a seat in Elliot's car
Posted by: rick 918-S Dec 24 2014, 11:43 PM
Drat! I was just thinking I should get in gear and make a reservation.
Posted by: SLITS Dec 25 2014, 04:45 AM
Kinda along the lines of Torrey, UT.
Posted by: VegasRacer Jan 9 2015, 03:15 PM
I spoke with the host hotel manager today. Yes, the place is being sold. Yes, there will be construction going on when we are there. Our existing reservations should not be a problem. (Escrow for the sale is still 2+ weeks away.) The new owners will have more details to follow. Some of the on-line booking sites will accept a new reservations. Some will not. He said they currently show 14 reservations for our group.

No.
Maybe.

No worries. If it all turns to 
and goes to Hell in a Hand Basket, everyone is invited to "camp out" in my backyard. Sprinklers come on @0630.

Fantastic john! Reservation made. Lunch at LULU. http://lulupalmsprings.com/ My favorite vegan restaurant (Palm Greens Café) is just north of the hotel.

That's the spirit.

There has been a slight change. We will not be having lunch at Lulu.
Lunch will be at Peaks Restaurant or Pines Café. (top of the tram ride)
The Awards Banquet will be at Lulu.
We will have the balcony as our own private space.

Are we driving up
Yes.
No.First we are driving around the Mountains. Then we are driving up the mountain and over. Then we will drive down the other side. After that we ride the tram back up the mountain again and have lunch. Finally we ride back down to where we parked our cars.
(just follow and try to keep up)
Posted by: 76-914 Jan 21 2015, 09:46 AM
On that note John; do you need any help from us locals on which roads or routes for this event? We drive a lot of these on a fairly regular basis and know the good ones. Aw Hell, they're all good in that area. Any road you pick will be fun.
Posted by: VegasRacer Jan 22 2015, 02:16 AM
I was thinking this would be a nice 100 mile loop . . . . .
Hwy 111 out of town towards Palm Desert. 
Take the Pines to Palms Hwy. 74.
Stop at Lake Hemet for a photo opp. 
Turn on to 243, the Banning Idyllwild Panoramic Hwy.
a short pull on Interstate 10 from Banning. 
and back to Palm Springs on Hwy 111, Palm Canyon Drive. 
Tramway Road will take us to our lunch stop.
Posted by: 76-914 Jan 22 2015, 10:26 AM
Close but no Cigar. I've got to head out this AM but I'll PM you with some alt routes later today or manana. I can't wait. Kent
EDIT: I defer, John. That's a beautiful route sans the 10 and parts of 111. There are more challenging roads in the area but that ain't for everyone. Keep your eyes open on the 10. When Ron & I were returning from R66 a couple years ago, a big woman in a big SUV w/ big hair damned near took Ron out when changing from lane 4 to Lane 1 while on the phone. She never saw him.

That's a beautiful route sans the 10 and parts of 111.
I do my best to avoid driving Elvira on Interstates.
Is there a better option to get back to town?
It's only 11 miles on the I-10
Yes, that one stretch of 111 is really boring.

Not in our cars. 4 wheel drive, yes! If there is an interest and no ones in a hurry to get home we could hit some more challenging runs Sunday.

Alan was gracious enough to invite us to stay for the weekend at their hip pad. Here's the plan. We drive out to Palm Springs for the event, stay with Alan and his wife at their place, Leave 7 of 9 in his garage in Palm Springs and fly home, Fly back out the end of April and pick up the car for the WCR, Drive home from Cali.

Nice Rick! Thats the way to do it
. Did something similar for Route 66 a few years ago with the creamsicle. Drove to Vegas for work. Left my car with Toast flew home. Then flew down to drive it to Lake Havasu & then back home. Good times

We went last year and jumped on a home tour. It was awesome as we love the mid-century stuff too. LOVE Palm Springs just for that reason.

Geeze, Not to change the subject but PS is about Mid Century. We have an architect working on a design similar to this for our lake lot.

After the tram ride and lunch, the plan has options:
A.) Air Museum http://palmspringsairmuseum.org/
B.) Art Museum http://www.psmuseum.org/
C.) Other - shopping, bars, spa, car repair, whatever.
There is no set itinerary until Lulu's. (cocktails at 7. Dinner at 8.)
Everyone is free to join one of the Museum Tours or Explore on your own.
Posted by: 76-914 Jan 27 2015, 03:11 PM
What the Hell! I found us on page 2 and that simply will not do. 
Anyway, I thought I should throw this out there. My wife would rather shop than do the tour thingy so if there are any like minded wives that are holding back I can organize a shopping trip w/ my wife in PS while we boy's thrash our vehicles about the turns. Just say the word. BTW John, if you need a hand; holler. I'm much closer than you.

Anyone and everyone is welcome for any part or all of the weekend.
Heck, you can start the party as soon as you want and carry on long after everyone else has left.
(Last year I arrived at the Red Rock Classic several days late. But it was still a party all the way.)
Elliot likes to show up a week early.

If you are thinking about that design think about a standing seam sheet metal roof and hard R20 insulation.

You nailed it. Good eye. I had to piss so badly that my teeth were floating. I was duplicating our run and after 30 min's on the 111 I would recommend detours around the 111 where possible.

5 weeks to go!
A number of people had expressed an interest in attending the Mid Century Architecture Tour Route 66 Classic when it was first announced.
I have not seen any related post from many of you in a long time.

7 of 9 is out of storage Lost the starter on the way home last fall after the RRC. Had to push start the car the last day. Just installed a new starter. Need to fix a couple things yet but she is out of the shed. Even if we get snow we should be able to battle our way south. We plan to hit I35 to 40 and take the southern route this time. we have never been able to get out this early before. Can hardly wait!

Starter changed, punch list started. Just discovered our new last summer wiper blades are shot, need to check the valves, oil change, maybe swap out the black seats for a tan set if I have enough pieces from three sets to make one set... What else? Oh! Fix the door ding we picked up someplace along the way last year. Thank to Alan for making it possible to make the trip. This will be a miserable drive out. the flight home is the only way I can make it.

I just got back from 10 days in Palm Springs. I have a few pics from the hotel we will be staying at for Rt 66. I had just stopped and got out of the car to take a few pics and some woman came out of the office yelling at me, "how can I help you"? (In what appeared to me to be a middle European accent). I said I just wanted to take a few pictures. She said, "how can I help you"? I told her I would only be a moment. She said, "this is private property you can't take pictures here". I tried to explain that myself and a large group would be staying there next month but that didn't seem to mean much to her. I wished her a good day and left. Anyway, here are a few pics I managed to snap before she sent for the hounds. I think I better re-confirm my res.

There has been an improvement to the Saturday afternoon plan.
We now have an *official* lunch location after the scenic mountain drive.
Alan's favorite Mexican restaurant La Tablita will be our host.
We have been promised great food and good parking.
Following lunch Alan has offered a personal tour of his mid century modern home. 
After that, there will still be time for museum tours, tram rides, shopping, spa treatment, drinking, or whatever you like.
Cocktails and dinner is still scheduled for Lulu's starting at 7:30

Nah going to Vegas for trade show that week. So will be driving out from there. Assuming I still have a job in by then. I'm about ready to beat the people I'm in charge of. Losing one full time guy who managed to get 10hours of overtime each week for about 35 hours worth of work. Pitiful thing is he was the most valuable guy I have. For being a general manager I wish my boss would just let me do the hiring. He hires the worst people then wants me to make them great workers. While I am pretty good at what I do. You still can't fix stupid (my employee's not me ) . So I've got to get things set so I can really take my work trip without the place imploding. After my vacation to Florida I don't have high hopes it will be pretty. Blah Blah Blah! Work rant over & I'm ready to leave right now

Damn I'm looking at a good 2300-2400 miles round trip! I wonder road wise for me if I'll be better off heading down I5 through CA & cutting straight over to Vegas. Or cutting through Reno to Vegas. The Reno is shorter & definitely more twisty roads. More mountain ranges to deal with though. So not sure if I'll hit a bunch of snow. Besides the snow all the shit on the roads they put down. So I think a boring drive down I5 is in the cards. Damn I need to get my a/c & heat working for this trip.

Yes, I5 is fairly boring. But the mountain pass after Ashland and the Shasta curves above Redding are a fun 60-80 miles! You can take the curves at 80+ (90?) while the regular cars slow down to 65-70, and the trucks are 55-60. It is a brief hour of fun before the Redding to Sacramento straight will put you to sleep for a couple of hours. Then maybe hit Reno rather than staying on I5.

Love Palm Springs! Let's see if we can get the car out of the snow bank THIS year.
You serious Rick? I got as far as St Louis last time. Thought it was the starter but I think in the end it was the voltage regulator. Sent me limping home in the daylight without any electrics going.
BTW. It may not have occurred to the organizers but Albuquerque is at the far WESTERN end of Rt 66. To say nothing of coastal California, which for me includes Palm Springs.
I know - it is your party. Nonetheless, the title implies a more country-wide venue. I don't trust the car that far quite yet. Last year I did, but I'm not so sure anymore. When I completely understand how it works I will come that far. Have a blast!
Does Hertz rent 914s?

I have had to bail once. Tracked down some local SCCA car guys and left the car with them in Lincoln NE. Rented a car to finish the drive to the event and flew home from Denver. The next weekend I went out an rescued the car with a trailer. stuff happens. You have to be ready to roll with the punches.
The first trip we took with Sandy's car was to Moab last fall. We lost the starter on the way home. I push started the car the last day and didn't turn it off until we hit the garage.
Think about it this way. Will the car run until the next oil change? That is all your really asking of the car. Get in and drive it like you stole it.

'tis true, sadly no one came from East of the ABQ to last year's event here. Regardless, maybe Eric's little buzz through town will inspire a little more local help/participation and we (being the NM folks in general and maybe the Texans ... HINT HINT) will pull together and host another Rt66 sometime in the future. Always has been one of my personal favorite events! I can't be there this year, but hope to see some of the same peeps at RRC! Have fun over in Palm Springs you guys n gals!

Biggest problem for us guys and gals up north is the weather. I think I have signed up for every one since the start. Last year we had 6' of snow in the ground 14' long in front of the place we store cars.
This is the first Route 66 event we are able to attend and the earliest we have ever be able to get the car out of storage. BUT! it doesn't mean we won't get hit with a massive snow storm before next Tuesday... 
See ya all in PS!!!

I gave it my all last year, but didn't get very far. Mostly I am pissing and moaning. Not only am I not sure about the car, but the broken vertebra from snow shoveling hasn't completely healed, so there is some question about the driver as well. As if there ever wasn't.

This is the first Route 66 event we are able to attend and the earliest we have ever be able to get the car out of storage. BUT! it doesn't mean we won't get hit with a massive snow storm before next Tuesday... See ya all in PS!!!
My son just got a job as an airplane mechanic in Duluth. His original idea was to work near a warm sunny beach or maybe the Rt66 location.
No snow for you Rich - until you try to come back.

Ahhh, but I have no trailer. But U-Haul does I suppose. Wait. One break down and three trailer pics of different teeners. Huh?
Posted by: JRust Mar 18 2015, 01:33 PM
Damn it's coming quick. I leave either Sunday or Monday. Still deciding which depending on work. Then a good long drive to Vegas. 4 days of standing on my feet on those damn cement floors. Then blissfully Friday we leave for Route 66 & Palm springs.
Hell we even have a good caravan. We've got at least 3 of us. John, Brandt, Myself & ??? Rick we meeting up with you somewhere? How about Wills & Jason?

I will be leaving Friday morning. An easy drive for me this time!! My wife and kiddo will be leaving in the afternoon to head over.

Going home tonight to bleed my brakes. Install my Speedo gauge reworked by speedhut to have the cruise control output. Won't get the cruise installed before I leave sunday though. Didn't order the unit so unless I find one at the local auto parts store. It will wait for a later date. Also disconnected all my stereo stuff. So think I'll borrow my daughters Bose blue tooth speaker. Damn thing puts out amazing sound for such a small unit. Plan to drive it to work tomorrow. Then flog it some Saturday to make sure all is well.
I'll leave Sunday afternoon. Drive to Rand's place somewhere around Reno. Crash there & drive to Vegas Monday

Well, your SOL on that green thing but we will hold a virgin asphalt spot for you. I can probably get Elliot to certify that the spot has never before had a 914 parked there. As many liars as we shall have in attendance, I'm pretty sure I can get a few members to 2nd Elliot's pronouncement, as well. Tell ya what, we'll even put a fluorescent flag on your antennae. Will you be wearing special shorts. Don't forget to take lotssssssssss of pic's.

Whoa. Wait! There is going to be a lawn? A show? Will there be a special place for my car? Just a note for the judges then.....my car is the ONLY 914 that was EVER produced with the VIN# 4752907123. To say it is rare would be an understatement.
Posted by: Elliot Cannon Mar 20 2015, 10:21 AM
I don't need a special place for my car because ANY place I park my car is special. I will be parked in my own special place on Thursday. (At least that's what my reservation says). I think.

I'll be scrapping tonight & tomorrow. Last night was bleeding my brakes. No wonder my pedal was soft. Pumping my pedal brought Fluid out the drivers rear caliper. Guess those seals were blown. No problem as I had a spare PMB to replace it with. Go to put that on & my rotor is either warped or had something behind it. At that point was pissed off so I left it for tonight & tomorrow. Hope it was just some debrees that worked it's way behind. Otherwise a quick turn hopefully will fix. IF not I may have to get creative

Anyone else heading up from San Diego area? Up the 15 and then across the 60 East is the fastest way, but there are MUCH more scenic ways if any one is interested.
76-914 and Lawrence, what routes are you planning to go?
Hmmmm... maybe I still have a half package of hot dogs left over from Eric's cross-country trip send-off party that I could bring. Maybe some leftover potato salad too... it's only a few weeks old.

Thanks for the offer. I expect you will get a few takers, but not many. Most people have their own agenda on Sunday. Any *official' activity plans have historically been a bust.
With so many So Cal peeps this time you may get a good turnout, since they have a relatively short drive home.

BTW - The number of faults found is usually inversely proportional to how nice the car is.

Keep your fingers crossed. One way or the other I will have it back on the road today. Sure be easier if my rotor isn't screwed up though

I know for a fact that Petersons roll cage is NOT factory. It was especially designed so that no one else can get in and then out of his car (except him) without sustaining major injury or at least a bad muscle cramp.

Well my luck is total shit! Just east of Oakridge in a downpour. I came around a corner to hit standing water on the highway. Hydroplane sent me spinning. Ended up going into the other lane backwords & hit the guard rail at the passenger back corner. Wheel hit the guard rail & bent the trailing arm. Have 2 creases from the rail on the front flare. The rear is worse. All my gaps look good. Even in the rear trunk no creases. If the wheel hadn't caught like it did I think it wouldn't have even required a tow.
So to sum it up I won't be coming to Route 66. I'm pissed as I haven't had my car back long & already I've fucked it up. Last thing I want to do is relive it all weekend. So I wish you all the best. I think I may just disappear for a while

So to sum it up I won't be coming to Route 66. I'm pissed as I haven't had my car back long & already I've fucked it up. Last thing I want to do is relive it all weekend. So I wish you all the best. I think I may just disappear for a while
Bummer...

Major bummer. Glad you are OK. The car can be fixed.
Posted by: JRust Mar 22 2015, 06:03 PM
I am fine thankfully. The collision wasn't that bad. A little wider road & I'd have stopped before hitting it. Although I'm getting a little stiff neck wise. Don't think I whiplashes really but seeing it coming I'm sure it was rigid. Sucky doesn't cover it. At the same time I am very thankful I caught no traffic coming the opposite way. Could have been so much worse. I don't think my car will end up being to bad. It is definitely fixable. Just disgusted with myself

I appreciate the offer but no. Actually after looking at flights to get me to vegas now for work. I am still driving down there. Not sure if I'll be up for Route 66 now though. Getting a little hosed with my tow bill. Although it should end up being covered eventually. I'm just getting it towed to a shop I trust. A little ever 100 miles away. So at this point I am not canceling my hotel reservation. I may still show up with my son as he is still flying to meet me in Vegas. Odds are I will end up showing for at least a day. I'm rethinking my whole trip at this point. Hell I've still got probably 2 hours before my wonderful wife get's here with my car. So it may change a few more times before she get's here. LOL

. So my family is bringing me my little hybrid. My wife left with my son for company driving her car. She is about 30 minutes out. I get excited as this Figaro's I am at is getting very old. Then she tells me my daughter is following in my car & just left the house . So I'll get to sit here for another 80min waiting for my car to arrive. Just keeps getting better & better Although I will have company for the last hour

I plan to arrive at 4:20.
My plan on Friday afternoon is to check in the hotel, find a secure place to park Elvira, and figure out who is going to provide the Pizza.
I'll guess 7 ? 8 o'clock ?
Earlier if everybody is hungry. I still need to figure out where to order the pizza from.
Any suggestions?

Brant, if you don't get one at RRC, I believe I have one in the shed that worked.

As always JP, you are the man with the plan. I am debating hitting the Salton Sea on the way in. I have always been fascinated by its history, rise and fall and I think it could be a gold mine for pic ops. Oddly enough, my family doesn't share my enthusiasm so I might take this opportunity while I am solo(they are coming later)

You car looks sharp
I got the back-sides of all four ATS wheels cleaned up and the Kumho tires mounted on the 'BB' this evening. I like the look of the taller aspect ratio (65 vs. 60) ... fills the wheel wells better. Nice smooth ride too
Tomorrow, I want to get the side rocker panels mounted and replace some mounting hardware that's missing on the right side of the front valance.

Which one Brandt. If I don't have one I'll bet Slits or BDStone has one.
I'll text you if we arrive at a decent hour. I have no idea when will make it
Brant, when you leaving CO?
I was planning on leaving thursday morning..
you can stay here if you want
I didn't get any hotel in vegas
I was going to play it by ear
Well,
Since Rick "has no idea" and Brant is "going to play it by ear", Jamie and I have made a plan. (We also made a side bet if Brant stays in Vegas for the weekend).
Here are some target times / location for you highway hobos.
Thursday 7:30 pm. Dinner at Bavarian Castle. 10890 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 180, Henderson, NV 89052
Phone: 702 778 2800 (this place blows away the Hoffbrauhaus)
Friday 9:14 am Breakfast. 10:00 am Departure. (specific restaurant TBD.)
I-15 and Hwy 160/Blue Diamond - Silverton Casino/Bass Pro Shop area.
As always JP, you are the man with the plan. I am debating hitting the Salton Sea on the way in. I have always been fascinated by its history, rise and fall and I think it could be a gold mine for pic ops. Oddly enough, my family doesn't share my enthusiasm so I might take this opportunity while I am solo(they are coming later)
See you all in Palm Springs!
Listen to your Family!

I like the look of the taller aspect ratio
Is that Erc on the right side?
Posted by: 914_teener Mar 25 2015, 09:10 AM
Call to hotels yeilds no response......is there another place to stay Friday?
Try again. Are you sure you have the right number?
Travelodge Palm Springs. 1277 South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264. (760) 325-5574.
You should be able to get a room. If not there are several other hotels next door and across the street.
Yea John...tried the one in the first post...I'll try again today.
I.ll try and make breakfast at 9:14...depends how traffic is and the route.

Does anyone have a working 2.0 djet brain they want to sell.... And bring along?
Brant, if you don't get one at RRC, I believe I have one in the shed that worked. I'd send it for free since I'm uncertain of its condition - probably can't send it to RRC in time though, since I won't be there. It didn't seem to work too well on the 2.0 bus motor that was in the car when I got it, but ... ehhh, what the hell, it might work!
Jon. No rush. If you find it look for a part number and I'll buy it. Happy to pay
Brant I have one if you cant find one anywhere else.
I'd like to keep it with my complete set if possible, but you could take it along as a backup.

Happy motoring and hope to see you for dinner. Breakfast for sure.
(The Sliverton is not a bad place to stay if you want to take the elevator to breakfast)

Finally installed the fiberglass rocker panels that Irv (914coop) sent me a couple of years ago. Had to drill a new set of holes in the sills because the holes in these panels didn't match up with either the originals or the glass rocker panels that were on the car when I bought it. Took longer than I anticipated
I need to check the fluid levels, tighten up a few nuts and bolts and adjust the clutch tomorrow ... then just need to pack up and get on the road Friday morning

A car full of tools would be a problem anywhere they are encountered.
It is most likely in Vegas late on a Saturday night after the Clubs close. You should be fine.
(Mayweather Pacquiao fight night should bring out lots of cars full of tools on the Strip.)

Last minute detail before I leave tomorrow...install rear view mirror. Easy enough. Damn it all if my thought process isn't wrong again. I think, put adhesive tape on mirror first so I can make sure it is perfectly staight. Problem is, no way to get air bubbles out between the tape and glass. Idiot! New tape will be ordered when I get back.

What is a pisser is that I had wonderful brakes and I went and screwed them up. I should have waited until I got back to do this.
Any chance to throw the old rears back on, bleed them out and get going?

If your M/C is shot, good to know it now instead of on the road. I know you really want to take your 914, but you don't need a 914 to enjoy the run … I've done it in Toyotas more than in 914s.

Ditto that is how Eric sends them out without the adjustor. That is unless you sent him yours to be rebuilt. If you buy a set from him they do not come with the adjustor. Where is it leaking from on the caliper? Bleeder or one of the seals inside?
Between your new set & your old set. Is the leak coming from the same side? Any chance it is your brake line itself. Seems pretty random to have your brakes be fine in the morning. Then upgraded with your new rear calipers. Only to have not only the new set but your old set that was fine leak. Something doesn't sound right there. Not sure when we are coming in or how far away you are from Palm springs. If your close I'd be happy to come by & lend a hand. Not sure I want to touch anyone's 914 though. My luck this trip is for shit

We are going to give it another shot this morning. It would have been nice if I would have known about the rear calipers not being complete. I just assumed for the money I paid, they would have a minute part on them that actually makes them work. I have three sets of rears now, I guess I can cobble something together. Super frustrating. Wish me luck.

A stroke of luck last night. I was fortunate enough to meet a group of 914 owners who had come to Palm Springs for a cruise event. Within minutes of arriving a couple of F.I. gurus produced a vacuum gauge and determined the source of my problem was a failing diaphragm in the MPS. Not the best news but fixable. I'm pretty sure the diagnosis was correct since the car ran considerably worse after the vacuum stress test. So I'll be on the phone Monday morning in search of a replacement part. Just want to say thanks to all in the group. A real blessing to have all this knowledge in one spot.

So one of the more random things. Stopped at target in palm springs to get a a pair of swimming trunks for my son. As we are waiting in line. I see what looks like a 914 tattooed on this guys arm. Once through the I go loom & sure enough it is. Turns out the guy had a 71 914-6 he wrecked in 2004. I invited hi, to stop by the hotel to check out some nice 914's. I leave & head back to the hotel. When I share my story Wills is like. Did you take a picture? I didn't as that seemed weird. Anyway Wills didn't seem to believe me so I went back to get a pic Later. So there you go

Hopefully see you all in September. Luckily I didn't see any Palm Trees or concrete pads to sleep on in Escalante!

Also a big thanks to socalAndy for helping me clean up some clogged idle jets on my usually reliable Weber carbs. It ran great till about 1.5 hours from home and clogged again. Gonna have to go through them carbs real soon. This was a fun event and if you didn't make it, well, you missed it.

Great party. Thanks to all who attended.
I counted at least 21 teeners. (not all at the same time)
It was good to have a bunch of 'flow' people. Most came for all 3 days. Some for a few hours. Some for a meal. Some for just 1 day. All are welcome.
It was over much to quick. Let's do it again.
Next year will be a traveling circus.
Start Friday in one town and drive to a new town for Saturday night.
Please - any suggestions on where?
As usual, Elvira got me safely home.
For the first time ever, I took the most direct route home.
The transmission worked fine and growled the entire way.
At mid/low rpms it sounds like a race car with straight cut gears.
Awards.

Best Custom 914 - Elliot

Sorry Alan and to your wife for not able to visit your house! We have to help Andy on his car at the restaurant parking lot. Some members who went to your place they said that you have a very very nice house and they even mentioned that you might plan of selling your house! Hoping before you will be able to sell it, the next time the group will have the event can still visit your place as part of the venue on the itineraries.
God Bless!

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend. Was a bummer not to have my car but was still great to see everyone. Just goes to show you even if you don't have your 914 for an event. You will still have a great time. My son & I left about 5:30 this morning. 1123miles later we are home safely.
Posted by: rick 918-S Mar 29 2015, 10:27 PM
We made it home to MN. A very special thank you to Alan and Terry for sharing their beautiful MCM home with us and for the invitation to stay with them for the weekend. 7 of 9 is parked next to Alan's 914. They are keeping each other company until we return next month for the WCR. Maybe they will assimilate.
Of all the events Sandy and I have attended we have never been able to make the Route 66. We were committed this year what ever it took. Leaving MN we hit a snow storm head on and pushed on through it. Fortunately we chose the path of least resistance for the rest of the journey. A little more snow as we left Denver heading west. From there it was clear roads and good times!
We were able to caravan out to PS via Route 66 with JP, Jamie and his son JT and Brant.
We are glad to have finally made one of the best events of the year! The west truly has some of the best driving roads in the country. Thanks for the hard work John! and thank my Dr. for the shot.
See you all in a month!

Thank you also John Peterson! for allowing us to join the event even without advance noticed (although I just mentioned it to Lawrence friday night that me and Corey will be joining in the morning). And to all the members for your warm welcome to event newbies. Everyone are so nice and a real 914world member in terms of support, kindness, humble and many more!
Hope everyone made it home safe and for those still on the road take care and have safe trip. Including who flew back like Rick and his family!

Palm springs was unseasonably HOT even for this time of year, but it proved to be a great place for 914 junkies. The drive we did on Saturday morning will always be etched in my mind. At the start, it was like the start of an all 914 race. In the twistys, Speedy gave it his all and at the downhill part at the end, it was all or nothing, with a sheer cliff on one side. The drive back was incredible; looking in my mirrors and seeing nothing but Porsche 914s three and four wide as far as I could see!
Posted by: 76-914 Mar 30 2015, 08:41 AM
I filled up about 10 miles from home and this guy on a Harley came up to me and said, "I haven't seen a 914 in years but today I saw 15 or 20 of them in Palm Springs and now I see another!"
Posted by: SLITS Mar 30 2015, 11:06 AM
Brant stopped by work on his way out of town. Don't know whether he is taking I15 thru Vegas or I40 to Alb. Either way it will be hot for a while.
He managed to play in Newport Beach, Balboa Island and had the clam chowder at the Crab Cooker. He said he had his fill of the Pacific Ocean.
Good luck on the journey Brant Brnat!

The absolute worse part of the whole damn weekend was, one of our beloved members got so "faced" he fell asleep in the dirt under a palm tree and NOBODY thought to take a picture or even get creative with a large black "magic marker". Someone suggested that the reason nobody took a picture is because we, as a group, are maturing and are above such things. Uh huh, sure.

Mike, you should get the photographer's award....awesome pics. I spotted at least a few calendar shots.
If it was so hot, why were so many targa tops on?

My wife and I had great time meeting old and making new friends. It was a great drive and great to see all the teeners on the freeway.
Thank you Jon for putting the event together. We look forward to it he next one.

It was too hot for the top to be off. Having the top was like being under an umbrella.
It was brutal.
Posted by: Cuda911 Mar 31 2015, 10:48 PM
Only time my top goes on is if it's raining.

Thank you John, for organizing a great event. It was good to see some old friends, and meet new ones. Lots of awesome cars. It's fun to try and connect 914world names with cars, real names and faces!
I hope to see many of you again at the WCR, and at the Renn Sport Reunion.

Don't remove the video, Noel. It's always nice to see different perspectives, just like seeing the individuality in every car.

Oh my Gaaawd Noel. All the way from the West almost coast of Oregon. I saw my little hybrid mixed in with all the 914's. I can't believe this right now. That is the most rare NARP ever. A hybrid who knew . Damn if I am not craving a tuna melt right now

. Damn if I am not craving a tuna melt right now Yup your hybrid that forced me to run between 80 and 90 mph to catch up with you on a busy 10 freeway!!! Wait you missed tuna melt from here? Did you try eating at Makoto (I think) buffet restaurant in your area? My wife and I and my wife twin sister who lives there usually eat at that place with a lot of Japanese food.
Posted by: 914_teener Apr 3 2015, 02:36 PM
Tuna Melt.....
Hey Andy....what do you think of Tuna Melt?
Posted by: Socalandy Apr 3 2015, 07:42 PM
an open face tuna melt on toasted Oatnut bread is one of my favorites
Posted by: don-6 Apr 3 2015, 08:00 PM
Oh My Gawd! That's my favorite too!
Posted by: euro911 Apr 3 2015, 09:28 PM

Just wondering if Mike and Andy was able to post their video during the last event? I'm sure a lot of good video/shot was taken from their go pro.
Posted by: 76-914 Apr 24 2015, 09:50 PM
Yeah Andy where's the video.
Posted by: MoveQik Apr 26 2015, 11:52 AM
My video is done but it looks really crappy. I'm still terrible at trying to walk and hold the camera steady. I will post it later today.
Posted by: MoveQik May 3 2015, 10:16 AM
Complete with questionable soundtrack and a really shaky camera. Not sure why it looks so bad....when I am filming I feel like I am holding the camera nice and steady.

Nice job Mike. I enjoyed it.
Posted by: michael7810 May 3 2015, 12:03 PM
Mike - great video…not that shaky. Thanks for taking the time to edit and post. I hate missing the events this year…so far I'm oh for two. It's Rennsport or bust for me.
Posted by: C-Ya MK May 3 2015, 02:06 PM

Don't be so hard on yourself, Mike. Good composition and editing is an art form and you seem to have it down well.
Very enjoyable clip to watch
Posted by: 76-914 May 4 2015, 01:29 PM
