I know this is short notice, but it's time for another Barbecue and Pool party in Frederick, MD. This will be our 9th consecutive year! Saturday August 20th - 2:00 pm to ?? Frederick, MD. This is a family event! Bring the kids and/or your significant other. Checkout our Hot Tub!

If you travel from afar and would rather not make the long return trip in the same day we have enough lawn for camping, and there are hotels nearby too.

So come on all you 914-ers in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia (and further?)! Newbies welcome! Over the years we've weathered heat waves, cool fall temps and even one hurricane (one 914 did show up). Last year the weather was great, let's hope for more dry weather and sunshine this year.

Address is 7188 Meadowbrooke Drive, Frederick, MD. PM me for directions.

Food&Drink:
we'll provide the pulled pork, baked beans, plates & utensils, cups & napkins, tea & Lemonaide. would you all bring your favorite side dish, salad, or desert?

I look forward to seeing you all on the 20th!

Matt

My 914 sure won't be ready, but I'll see if my brother and I can attend again:)

Posted by: ChaosRogue Aug 7 2016, 12:45 AM

I'd love to make it up again. If the Super Fo Fo (don't ask, the 914 upgrade fell through, so I ended up buying a 968) is ready I'll bring that. If not, I'll bring the Sooper Beatle I brought last year. What kind of side would work best? I may not cook, but I know how to go shopping...

Posted by: mepstein Aug 7 2016, 10:00 AM

I was wondering about this. Ill bring desert. Thanks!

Tony, My brother lives in Woodstock. I could ask him if he wanted to ride shotgun with you. we're about 10 hrs away. Can you say "Road Trip"

Posted by: Reverend Troublemaker Aug 8 2016, 07:05 AM

Matt - A 10 hour road trip in my car would hurt! If you're down here visiting family, shoot me a PM and we'll get together.

PS: Its all about timing...I was just driving through there 4 weeks ago on the return leg of our Summer vacation. Another time maybe...

Wish I could make it! Matt, we need more 914's at PCAP AX events!

Posted by: mgp4591 Aug 8 2016, 10:24 PM

Aw crap... I'm gonna be in Frederick the week after on Saturday! I'm from there... 704 W. Patrick St, right down the road. I'll have to stop by and say hi a week later...

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 9 2016, 11:39 AM

I'll be there with my kids. :-)
Looking forward to it as always.

Hi Matt - thanks again for hosting. I doubt I'll be able to make it, as I have a lot of welding I need to do before I give the rotisserie back to its rightful owner in two weeks. If by some miracle I do make sufficient progress this weekend I'll update my status as I would enjoy seeing everyone.

Posted by: saigon71 Aug 10 2016, 03:15 PM

Thanks for hosting Matt - count me in!

I'll bring some cookies for dessert.

Posted by: BillC Aug 11 2016, 03:22 PM

I hope to make it, with my family (wife and a kid will have to follow in the "chase car" ). I'm excited, it'll be my first 914 get-together since I got the car last year. Just not sure yet if the schedule will work out. Plus, I have parts coming that will hopefully finish getting the car ready to be drivable again; just hope they come in time.

Posted by: JmuRiz Aug 11 2016, 06:36 PM

Bah, I haven't brought my car in 9 years . But I plan on being there again with my brother in a non-914 p-car.

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 12 2016, 04:34 PM

Katherine wants to see the 356.
The rest of us want to see the 930!

Posted by: Garold Shaffer Aug 12 2016, 07:01 PM

Matt really wanted to make the "tow" out for this, but in the process of selling mom's house and getting her moved in with us. I really thought it wouldn't be that hard to do, but man I was wrong.

Hope you all have a great time. See you all at Hershey next year.

Posted by: JmuRiz Aug 12 2016, 07:11 PM

356 is going in for an oil filter upgrade (full flow) tomorrow. It should be a nice drive down 66 in 95-100 deg weather

930 should be game, but the 968 race car might be road legal by the event time too

Note: we were lucky to buy before prices went looney!

Posted by: mgp4591 Aug 12 2016, 09:30 PM

Uh... lots of folks saying the timing is wrong...could you postpone it for a week...??

Posted by: saigon71 Aug 15 2016, 05:30 AM

5 days!

Posted by: Philip W. Aug 15 2016, 05:42 AM

i will be coming thru the DC area on my way home with the car after picking it up from Tangernine racing! may be able to swing by - depends on timing - would be cool to meet some more 914world members !

Bump this back up for good company and good eats

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 17 2016, 05:31 AM

Phil - hope y0u can stop buy. We are probably a slight detour from your direct route.
I'll send you my cell phone number via PM.

Posted by: Philip W. Aug 17 2016, 05:44 AM

Sounds good. Actually planning on taking my time getting home and wanted to take a scenic route toward SC, heading to Charolette NC to see my son on the way so I was going to go thru PA toward Hershey and down that way I avoid DC and the NJ tolls. I spent almost $40 on tolls going that way in the way up! Traffics was not bad because I drove through the night - was cooler too!
I will touch bases with you before I leave Chris's shop.

Matt,

Thanks for hosting this event once again. One of these years I'm going to be there. I have a feeling mom-in-law's week-long visit won't be nearly as much fun

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 18 2016, 11:51 AM

Last year for this party.
Make it this year or bust.

Zach

Posted by: BillC Aug 19 2016, 06:25 AM

Just want to confirm -- is the picnic still on for tomorrow?

My schedule has cleared up, and I'm looking forward to this. Anything in particular you'd like me to bring?

Posted by: Philip W. Aug 19 2016, 03:58 PM

I certainly hope its on. I'm planning on being there. Going to the Hershey museum In the morning what time are you getting it started

Posted by: ChaosRogue Aug 19 2016, 04:28 PM

930 is a go. 968 is still at Intersport being made VADOT legal. See you kids tomorrow.

Posted by: 914dave Aug 20 2016, 05:35 AM

Have a great time today guys! Post some pics for those of us who can't make it.

Posted by: saigon71 Aug 20 2016, 07:16 PM

Great to see everyone! A big thanks to Matt & Katherine for hosting this event. I had a great time.

Posted by: okieflyr Aug 20 2016, 09:14 PM

Here are a few of the aerial pics. Low resolution but a different perspective of the fun.

Posted by: mepstein Aug 21 2016, 05:48 AM

Big thank you to Matt for the party!

Posted by: Dion Aug 21 2016, 07:27 AM

Looks like a nice time. Thanks for posting the pics. Sorry I couldn't make it.

Posted by: rgalla9146 Aug 21 2016, 09:07 AM

I'll get there one of these days.
Thank you for hosting Matt.
What a beautiful home you have and a great setting.
Can one of he attendees identify the people in post # 33

Matt -- thank you very much for hosting the picnic, it was a lot of fun. It was great to put faces with some of the screen names on here. And, we all got to wrench on something other than our 'teeners!

Here's another pic:

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 21 2016, 04:57 PM

Had a great time there with the kids and all the teener folk.

Also, there were times when the go-kart needed a little help

Post 33, top picture I can't give you name of everyone but I was with my back to the camera, red shirt. Mike(aka dr evil was sitting with the basketball at his feet, - barefoot from Charleston sc that has the red Chaplin conversion car pictures in page one is just to my right with red hat.
Mark Epstein(mepstein) is standing holding a beverage in blue shirt red shorts no hat--

Posted by: JmuRiz Aug 22 2016, 08:01 AM

"Eric" is actually Aaron, my brother
"?? hidden from view" is ScottyB

BTW I had a good time, as always....and ate too much, as always.

Only sucky part was thinking I lost my wallet only to have it found 2' under the front seat of the 930 later in the night. I guess it's just so fast the wallet wanted to stay with a car that actually has power

Posted by: plas76targa Aug 22 2016, 09:02 AM

Aaron may never return since I keep getting his name wrong and thought his 'mellon' was Dr Evil. Nathan, please apologize to your brother for me.

Posted by: JmuRiz Aug 22 2016, 09:27 AM

bah, he doesn't care...does he look like he cares

Posted by: bozo914 Aug 23 2016, 11:41 AM

Well crap, Matt, I missed it. Didn't even see the notice till Sunday. I was hoping we could re-convene the Geriatric Circle of Angst started in Hershey. Hope to be aware and see you guys next year.

Posted by: barefoot Aug 24 2016, 06:38 AM

Enjoyed my first chance to talk with several teeners all at once
Barefoot (in the red hat)
Thanks for hosting the event !
