Count me in on the Highway 2 & 210 LA route. I have some ugly temporary bumpers on but the car is running good.

I.m In. I can meet Jeff at Panera's and I.ll be taking the backside back

Posted by: second wind Jun 28 2020, 10:39 PM

I am in. Car a little funky right now but should be sorted out by then. Blown front wheel bearings all fixed. Please start as late as possible as I need as much sleep as possible....please don't ask why. This age thing has just got to stop!! Looking forward to it and appreciate the high energy organizers. Thank you very much. What time does Newcombs open??? 11:30am?
All the best,

I've got some chance of making this but have a lot going on at work so it's really iffy, will let ya'll know

Last time I went up there Newcombs restaurant was closed but it didn't diminish the great ACH drive at all. (Just be sure to do your call of nature business before heading up the mountain...)

Posted by: Coondog Jun 29 2020, 08:34 AM

Not a bar, even if it’s closed, is about the drive and the friendship.
Eat at Panera bring water.

Posted by: 914Toy Jun 29 2020, 08:59 AM

Will you be posting a map?

Posted by: Tonyooc Jun 29 2020, 10:17 AM

I will be meeting at the La Canada Panera to drive up and then driving home on the 15 south

Posted by: 914_teener Jun 30 2020, 03:15 PM

Yep....that is a nice drive down the backside.

Yep...not planning on going inside Newcombs.

Just heard that we may not be doing furloughs but we will find out tomorrow. That is supposed to be our first day.

Bump for those that wanna get out of the house.

Posted by: Coondog Jun 30 2020, 03:55 PM

Same 4 me

Posted by: 2mAn Jun 30 2020, 07:19 PM

Can my friend and I join even though we don’t have 914s? I’m trying to convince him to get one...

Posted by: Coondog Jun 30 2020, 07:22 PM

Of course that’s how we learn....

Posted by: 2mAn Jun 30 2020, 07:39 PM

Sweet! Two Minis will be there at the 210/2 meeting spot

Posted by: second wind Jun 30 2020, 10:07 PM

7:30 sounds great.....way better than some of the "meet at 5:30am at the donut shop in Riverside". Sorry to be so sleepy but I am honest about it!
All the best always,
gg

PS....maybe something in Wrightwood will be open?? Not that far away and beautiful roads to boot. Just an idea...

Don.t count on it. I.d bring something with and water.

I was just there. I am in escrow with my properties there! I am no longer a landlord in California!

Jensen.s is open but that is about it.

I.m going to take the old R66 route right before the 138/15 split as it arcs back to the 210 and avoid any traffic from Pasadena. Did it at the last WCR it was a really nice drive.

Posted by: Coondog Jul 2 2020, 10:07 AM

So now it’s official that Newcomb’s will be closed, I will make the drive tomorrow to see if the parking area has been blocked off.

As far a meet time, I reached out to Matty900 to provide this to the group. Remember he is the one traveling so courtesy dictates we work as close to his schedule as possible.

Posted by: ValcoOscar Jul 2 2020, 10:44 AM

I still can't go Friday AM because of work but if this drive moves to Sat AM.
Chucky will most probably be sidelined for upgrades, but I have options.

But , let's see what Matt says.

I might be out now, just got a side job for the 10th and 11th. We'll see if it gets cancelled again fir this covid crap. If I'm not there by 8am leave without me.

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 3 2020, 08:47 AM

I'm up for it......

Posted by: Coondog Jul 3 2020, 01:11 PM

Friday morning 9am place is packed. Newcomb’s closed but that didn’t stop anyone.
Magnus was there sporting a Lambo.

Posted by: drem914 Jul 3 2020, 01:22 PM

No pictures?

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 3 2020, 01:29 PM

Pictures, or it didn't happen.

Posted by: preach Jul 3 2020, 01:41 PM

Magnus featured a lambo in his last youtube vid a couple days ago.

Posted by: Coondog Jul 3 2020, 02:25 PM

I was the only teener

Posted by: preach Jul 3 2020, 03:03 PM

That may have been the case but what an example to represent. I really hope I can see it some day in person. I will bring a micro-fiber in case I drool on it.

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 3 2020, 04:46 PM

Okay, it happened.

Typical Friday morning at Newcombs. The Ranch is closed, so bring your own food or beverage.

Posted by: Coondog Jul 10 2020, 01:28 PM

Fun little run. Had most of the place to ourselves

Posted by: second wind Jul 10 2020, 01:39 PM

Thank you for the picture Greg....please post more. I finally got my car started and trying to nail down the root cause of the problem. I found the cold start injector up plugged with the plug buried facing downward so I don't know if that was the culprit. Runs and starts fine now but not going to leave the driveway just yet. Sorry I missed the fun. More pictures please. Thank you and if you have any ideas on my snafu do tell. All the best,
gg

Posted by: 2mAn Jul 10 2020, 06:06 PM

Thanks for letting the Minis crash the party, my buddy is fully gung-ho about a 914 now. Mission accomplished!

Only took a few pics. Jonny Lieberman was quite excited to see you guys because he has a 914 undergoing some sort of restoration now and posted a bunch of pics of your cars on Instagram. Check out @jonnylieberman

Posted by: mjrrti Jul 15 2020, 11:58 PM

Hey Greg thanks for setting up the ACH run last Friday. My grandson and I had a blast hanging out and talking with everyone. The drive home going out through Wrightwood was awesome. It was fun trying to keep up and stay out of the way of you 2 guys with the sixes. It gave my little Subaru a good workout and my suspension as well---I don't have sway bars but I'm thinking that would be a great addition in the near future. Looking forward to the next run, hopefully soon. Monte
