Always a great event. Who know's? Maybe @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=163 La Fong will grace us with his presence.

We should name it "Slitsmeet" to honor our fallen friend.

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Sep 17 2019, 11:04 AM

Thanks Bruce, Alright good to go on Sunday October 20. .... Paul

Posted by: bdstone914 Sep 17 2019, 11:13 AM

I think it does honor by keeping the G & R name although neither Ron or Glenn are no linger involved.

Heck, I need to go buy some stuff to sell ! I'm all out of the good stuff but I'll try to bring what I've got left. Mostly ventilation pieces last time I looked in my storage.

I've also still got Frankencarcass at my shop with front and rear suspension pieces and some sheet metal sections still intact.

Thank Rusty, I see you make it purple in honor of Barney your hero.
But old people like me cant see low contrasts so could you make the font white?

Posted by: Rusty Sep 18 2019, 02:24 PM

No can do sir. Only can do the background and border... so I tweaked it a bit for you.

Posted by: Gint Sep 18 2019, 05:37 PM

Definitely planning on it. I'll probably drive the car down this year.

I'm secretly going to call it the "Slitsmeet."

Posted by: Carl La Fong Sep 21 2019, 04:09 PM

Call it what you want but it has been the G&R for, what, 15 years now? It will ALWAYS be the G&R. The R is for Ron, which was his name. I knew him well enough that I'm sure Ron would agree.

I agree. No need to rename it. Wonder how many m attendees now knew Ron or the origin of the name G & R. Perfect name. Short sweet, unique.

I wondered it Ron would call it the Animal flesh roast festival just to try to offend you as a veggie.

Every time I saw Ron he would think of a way to offend me. I always looked forward to it.

Posted by: 76-914 Sep 29 2019, 07:23 PM

If Ron liked you then he gave you "the business". In all those years he never called me by name; it always Redneck.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Sep 30 2019, 06:17 AM

I would love to be there but...


19 h 32 min (1,374 miles) from my house....


I did way too much driving lately to do this.

Posted by: bdstone914 Sep 30 2019, 09:10 AM

I always heard him call you "Kent the Redneck" like it was a title of southern nobility.

Bruce

Posted by: bdstone914 Sep 30 2019, 09:13 AM

They have planes that fly from Dallas to California. But it is stil a long trip.
Our most distant attendees were from Australia. But they were here for other purposes.
Would be great to see you out here.
Bruce

Posted by: ClayPerrine Sep 30 2019, 12:29 PM

I also am working timing and scoring for PCA club racing that weekend at MSR Cresson, so I can't be there.

Sorry....

Posted by: Carl La Fong Sep 30 2019, 09:50 PM

Posted by: Carl La Fong Sep 30 2019, 09:55 PM

We will all be very disappointed you won't be there.

Posted by: Ed_Turbo Oct 13 2019, 09:04 AM

I have this scheduled on my calendar.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=9964 Kent, I can grab that targa from you next Sunday.


I am also looking for:

- Rockers


I expect the prices are fair and not 911/the Samba prices like some of those clowns ask for


-Ed

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 13 2019, 12:40 PM

Ed, I'm not a vendor at that event but you can follow me back when I leave and pick it up. I'm about 40 miles south of the GnR.

This is a different bunch of clowns than the 911 / Samba crowd.

I have a running 1.8 with about 3500 miles on the top end I would like to sell. The engine is still in the car and will be available to drive if someone is interested. $2700 that's for complete engine and exhaust

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Oct 14 2019, 07:58 PM

I will be there to purchase and I’ll be calling it the G & R swap meet! yes the R is for rebel Ron!

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Oct 14 2019, 08:29 PM

I’m sad to say that Michelle and I won’t make it this time. I have to fly out on a business trip to Dallas.

Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 14 2019, 09:19 PM

I'm glad I will attend and I'm glad to call it the G & R Swap meet.

I'll secretly call it the G & R Swap meet as my mind has been made right.

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 15 2019, 12:59 AM

Will you be driving you new ass dragger parts doner 911? That's what Ron would call it.

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 15 2019, 07:54 AM

Ain't that the truth!

Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 15 2019, 05:43 PM

FIOARPA.

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 15 2019, 07:07 PM

Hey Lawrence, word on the street is that you'll be presenting a "Pinky Lifting Tech Session" for the G&R 914 attendee's contemplating a, well shall we say, life change and crossing over to the 911 So will you be wearing your Chartreuse or Crimson speedo for this event?

Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 15 2019, 10:12 PM

I'll wear what I wore when we shared rooms at the Route 66 last year, Kent.

Remember?

Posted by: 914_teener Oct 15 2019, 11:50 PM

I sense Slits channeling through this thread.

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 16 2019, 12:31 AM

Hope that is not you Speedo for everyone's sake.

The infamous banned outlaw Carl La Fong will be there. Too bad Elliot cant make it.

Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 16 2019, 09:29 PM

Also a shame that 911 owners are not welcome.

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 18 2019, 06:20 PM

Looks to be great weather high 90. Sellers may want to bring EZ ups.

We'll be there even it's raining.

Good seeing everyone again. I didn’t find any one dollar parts but I did pick up plenty of five dollar parts that I need. Thanks Bruce for keeping this going.....Paul

Posted by: second wind Oct 20 2019, 07:56 PM

Any pictures from today? Finally missed one after a perfect nine year streak. I have 25 parts waiting to be installed...or more. Still....missed seeing everyone and buying some more parts, as spares. Hope we meet up before Christmas.
All the best always,
