Anybody up for some breakfast face time? Saturday 5/6. Pleasanton Black Bear Diner (5100 Hopyard Rd) near the I580-I680 interchange.

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 23 2017, 11:22 AM

I'm in as long as we don't bring Amoy. She'll get us thrown out again.

Posted by: BuddyV Apr 23 2017, 12:17 PM

I want to make it... but a long haul from Santa Rosa..... any chance of meeting a bit closer??

Just asking..... i would still make the drive if I were free.... it's just well over an hour..... in a 914.

There's Jimmy Bean's on Gilman in Berkeley. A selfishly more convenient(ish) location for us North Bayer's.

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 23 2017, 01:25 PM

There's no group parking anywhere near JB ...


PS: Also, last time i set up a "north bay" meeting only two people showed up, me from Oakland and Fiid from SF.

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Apr 23 2017, 02:37 PM

The reasoning behind choosing Pleasanton as a location was because it's readily accessible from all North, South, East and West directions. I was hoping to draw the largest crowd possible. Any date preference yet?

P town works for me!

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Apr 24 2017, 04:50 PM

I will be there if I can. Following this thread. Hope you are feeling better Marty.

Posted by: Andyrew Apr 24 2017, 05:15 PM

I'll see about coming, but with the baby here I doubt it.

^ I hope your feeling better as well Marty!

Would love to come stare at your 914's, but baseball season is in full swing (9:30 AM games on both of those dates).

Posted by: Cairo94507 Apr 25 2017, 07:23 AM

It would be nice to see Marty up and running around. If it is scheduled for the 5/6 morning in P-town, I should be able to make it. I would like to see and talk with some other Teeners about our cars and the issues we face getting/keeping them on the road. This coming weekend I am in CO.

Posted by: cali914 Apr 25 2017, 08:07 AM

I'm in but please no lama beans it's not called Jimmie beans anymore it's literally four blocks from my house. Not much of a drive. Lol

Posted by: napasteve Apr 25 2017, 08:25 AM

I would like to go. 5/6 is much better than 4/29.

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Apr 25 2017, 10:12 AM

Looks like 5/6 is the better date, so 5/6 it is.
Side note: That's also the R-Group meet-up Saturday at EASY.

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Apr 28 2017, 11:15 AM

Bump to the front page.

Posted by: bfrymire Apr 28 2017, 12:15 PM

I am missing something. What time??

Posted by: RobW Apr 28 2017, 12:34 PM

9:14am

Posted by: Mike Bellis Apr 28 2017, 11:26 PM

I might be able to make it. I'm not even sure my 914 runs anymore. It''s been sitting in the garage for 6 months...

Posted by: dlkawashima May 4 2017, 02:41 PM

I'm planning on being there.

Posted by: Dave_Darling May 4 2017, 02:48 PM

I am strongly considering it...

--DD

Posted by: BuddyV May 4 2017, 05:30 PM

OK... I will be there.... driving farther than is typical with my 914 so I want to make sure that we are still on.

And the start time..... is it really 9:14am

Posted by: Marty Yeoman May 4 2017, 05:47 PM

Yes & Yes

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 4 2017, 06:02 PM

I could do lunch (I know, it blows a hole in the middle of the day) but to get there at 9:14 I would have to leave the house at 6:00. Plus if Amoy isn't going to be there what's the use.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon May 4 2017, 06:03 PM

6 months!!

Posted by: green914 May 4 2017, 07:08 PM

I am going to try and make it

Posted by: Jeffs9146 May 4 2017, 08:40 PM

I might dust it off for a quick drive to Hopyard Road!

Posted by: Cairo94507 May 4 2017, 09:22 PM

So far, I am in the green on this. Hopefully nothing changes as I would enjoy seeing everyone.

Posted by: Mueller May 4 2017, 09:25 PM

Bummer, not going to make it, playing daddy day care, we are doing two different STEM projects for school.

Posted by: PotterPorsche May 4 2017, 10:40 PM

I will try to make it out there. 9:14am

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 5 2017, 12:13 AM

yep. 6 months. at least. I need to pull all the boxes and junk off it. I better put on a battery charger too...

Posted by: SirAndy May 5 2017, 11:20 AM

Same here, which is why i'll be there sans 914.
Battery is dead and i haven't cleaned out all the mold yet.

Plus, i broke the drivers side mirror when i bumped into it with the trash can.

Posted by: RoadGlue May 5 2017, 03:54 PM

Why don't we do our own N. Bay breakfast or beer meetup sometime?

Posted by: tygaboy May 5 2017, 04:08 PM

I'm up for that.

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 5 2017, 05:11 PM

Well...

A turn of the battery switch and 15 seconds of cranking to prime the fuel line and it fired right up. Took it for a 5 mile shake down and everything works!

Time to do some PM work on it before WCR.

Posted by: ConeDodger May 5 2017, 05:14 PM

Hmmm... if I got up at 5am and drove the 200 miles or so.

Posted by: Mike Bellis May 5 2017, 05:33 PM

Start Driving...

Posted by: BuddyV May 5 2017, 09:36 PM

Randy - Robert here.... I am making the drive tomorrow (calling it "Therapy" after a long work week). If you want to caravan, I am leaving at 7am-ish.

(707) 888-1857.... text me if you want me to wait for you.

If one of us breaks down. we would have a second car - ha ha!

Posted by: Edward Blume May 5 2017, 11:02 PM

C'mon Mike!

Posted by: ConeDodger May 5 2017, 11:29 PM

I'm out. Going to a late movie with Yopu...

Posted by: dlkawashima May 6 2017, 08:36 AM

I'll be there in the 2-liter ...

Posted by: PotterPorsche May 6 2017, 10:36 AM

Electrical problems with fuel pump. Getting 2 volts instead of 12 volts

Posted by: Marty Yeoman May 6 2017, 01:36 PM

And a good time was had by all. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures to post.

Posted by: Edward Blume May 6 2017, 01:42 PM

Thanks for pulling us all together Marty.

Posted by: dlkawashima May 6 2017, 04:53 PM

Thanks Marty! We're all very happy to see you're alive and kickin'

It was nice to see some of the old guard as well as new members to the World. It was also nice to get an 80 mile run in the orange 914. And, whoops, I also forgot to take any pictures.

Posted by: smj May 6 2017, 04:56 PM

Bummed that I found this the afternoon of the day of, but still glad it happened.

Since Fiid made that previous meetup you mentioned, SirAndy, I'll have to chastise him for not pinging me.

Did take the -6 to the first Berkeley Cars & Coffee that happened last month, and expecting to make the next one on 5/28.

Posted by: Cairo94507 May 6 2017, 09:07 PM

That was a good turnout. I wish I could have stayed for the breakfast but just seeing everyone was terrific. Oh, and nobody even gave Dave a hard time about arriving in his 911..... we are a forgiving group like that.

Posted by: boxsterfan May 6 2017, 10:28 PM

Well, I had to umpire a kids baseball game...which was fun...but I still wish I could have driven my Nissan Maxima over to stare at your 914's.

Posted by: BuddyV May 7 2017, 09:07 AM

I put 250 miles on the car... no problems.... met great people! Thank you all for attending!

Sal is great, BTW

See you soon, I hope.

Robert (buddyv)

Nice!

Posted by: Dave_Darling May 7 2017, 01:34 PM

Correction: In his wife's 911.

Posted by: Cairo94507 May 7 2017, 01:37 PM

I stand corrected

Posted by: bando6 May 8 2017, 10:53 AM

Had a great time, nice to put some faces with the names.
Robert-Thanks for the pic of my car! Let you know when I get up your way.
