Update 13-Oct-2021:
The Alisal Fire in Santa Barbara County should not impact either of our drives, since we won't be any further south than Los Olivos on Saturday. In fact, I ran the optional Aliso Canyon and Harris Grade portions of the Saturday run yesterday evening and did not experience any smoke. Hopefully, it stays that way throughout the weekend.

Also, I uploaded the turn sheets for both drives a few minutes ago in post #197, which also shows approximate times at waypoints for those folks who are joining us late. I'll provide printouts of the turn sheets in the SWAG bags.

I approved the t-shirt mock-up about an hour ago -- they look GREAT! I'll stuff them into the SWAG bags in time for WCR check-in at the Quality Inn Suites tomorrow beginning at 2PM and ending at 4PM.

Due to timing, we will not gather at Cloisters Park at the outset of the Friday run as originally planned. I'm hoping Mark Whitesell will bring his drone so that we can take a car/group photo alongside the dinosaurs in Huasna on Saturday; otherwise, it'll need to be folks snapping iPhone photos from atop the nearby hill.

Finally, I have informally reserved the outside patio at Beda's Biergarten beginning at 4:30PM on Thursday. The address is 3230 Broad Street in SLO. Come join me for some of my favorite German food and a glass of bier, prior to heading out at 6PM to watch the sunset at Morro Rock in Morro Bay.



Previous Updates:

Alright, "registration" is officially open! I put it in quotes because I am not charging a fee this year, since I know that hotel costs are crazy-high in this beautiful part of the country and mostly everything will be a la carte (more details below). PM me thru this website, and include your real name and the screen/real names of your guests. I'll update the attendee list every day or two.

Upfront, I want to thank the incredible vendors that support our Porsche 914 addiction and provide such great service to us. In anticipation of this year's WCR event, I have talked with many of them, and their support for WCR 2021 is pouring in. As additional commitments are made, I'll update the list. The donated items will be raffled off during the Saturday evening awards dinner at Woodstock's in downtown SLO; winners must be present to accept prizes. If you are willing to contribute something (hint: I'm looking for someone to make People's Choice trophies!), please PM me. Below is the current list in alphabetic order:

Official T-Shirt Ordering Link

Click on the http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=355950 to order t-shirts! Registrants whose orders are received by October 7th will be provided their t-shirt(s) during registration on October 14th; all others must choose the direct shipping option.

WCR 2021 Sponsors List:

https://914rubber.com - SWAG bags & various 914 items
https://914werke.com/ - muffler hanger, tuna can, throttle cable mount, tow hooks, etc.
Bruce Stone - refurbished pedals set
BuddyV - posters of WCR 2021 logo
https://www.pmbperformance.com - refurbished caliper set
https://www.pokrajacautomotive.com - discounted dyno runs
https://www.spokeworksled.com - two sets of LED taillights
strawman - WCR 2021 logo artwork, local wine for "Best Of" prizes
914SIXXation - vintage 914 pillow
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/porsche - $25 gift certificate, magnets, etc.

Below is the final draft logo for this WCR 2021 that I worked with a local graphics artist to develop. I will start a separate posting to order shirts from a reliable local vendor whose shop is a few doors down from my office and we've used him for a lot of past orders. I'll add a link to this posting here once that link is up. A range of options will be provided (color of shirt, long- or short-sleeve, women's/men's, hoodie, etc.), and ordering will be done through a third-party vendor. The shirts will be distributed during registration on Thursday October 14th.



Due to COVID-19, the only "official" gathering will be at Woodstock's Pizza on Saturday October 16 at 6PM in downtown SLO. Everyone will be responsible for ordering and paying for your own meals/drinks. The same is true for meals during the Friday and Saturday drives -- you're on your own to set up small groups to chow down for lunch in Cambria (Friday), and lunch in Los Olivos (Saturday).

The SLO Trolley is currently suspended due to a lack of bus drivers, so there's no free shuttle between the host hotel and Woodstock's on Saturday evening. You can choose to make the (pleasant) walk to Woodstock's from the host hotel, Uber, or park downtown. There's three parking garages within a few blocks, and plenty of curbside parking nearby in the vibrant SLO downtown area -- but please drive safely/sober if you choose to drive.

In mid-September, the SLO County Public Health Officer decreed that face masks must be worn indoors due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, and I ask that you respectfully comply. Obviously, when you're eating/drinking, mask wearing is not possible and I am certain that enforcement is relatively lax. But I don't want our Porsche 914 community to be labeled "those guys" for raising an unnecessary ruckus.

During registration, you'll be provided your shirt (if you ordered one!), the final itinerary of events, print-outs of the drives on Friday and Saturday, ballots for People's Choice Awards (longest drive, best original, best modified, etc.), raffle tickets, as well as maps to get to the Dyno Day and other events that we can (safely) put together. I'm thinking a Thursday night sunset picture opportunity near Morro Rock, followed up with small-group gatherings to eat dinner in Morro Bay / Cayucos... but I'm open to other ideas (PM me!).

The car show will officially kick off in the Quality Suites Inn parking lot following the Saturday drive. I'll be there to collect the ballots, which we will tally up prior to meeting at Woodstock's later that evening.

I will continue to maintain this posting #1 as the singular place for details, so please subscribe and check back often.

Update on 27-Aug-2021:

I have run a few great Central Coast drives over the past few weekends, and I believe we've got 'em locked in now. I'm also working with a great local artist to design a cool t-shirt, and will start a separate thread once it's ready for debut. I haven't yet figured out the registration fee that will include the t-shirt, but will update this thread as soon as I can nail it down. Stay tuned!

We'll do a Thursday evening drive for the early check-ins to the Morro Rock to watch the sunset, snap a few pics, and catch up. Those who are up for it can join me for dinner at Beda's Biergarten for some authentic German food and cold beer.

Friday morning will start at 9:14AM in the Quality Inn parking lot, with a re-group at Cloisters Community Park in Morro Bay. Then we'll head up the Coast and then over the mountains to Paso Robles Wine Country for some scenic and twisty roads. Next it's back to the Coast to to see some unique Coastal Vistas and have lunch in Cambria in small groups. Later that afternoon, we'll head over to watch those who signed up (details coming soon!) for dyno pulls.

Saturday morning will be another 9:14AM start, and we'll head along the south Coast (after a diversion to a unique SLO picture-taking opportunity!) and head for the twisty roads in the North Santa Barbara County Wine Country. We'll head back to the Quality Inn parking lot to display our cars and collect ballots for People's Choice / Best of Show.

The awards banquet will take place at 6:00PM at https://woodstocksslo.com/, which is located relatively close to the Quality Suites. Click on the link to see their menu. It'll be No-Host, so you're responsible for buying your own grub and beer. But I can vouge for it all; it is a go-to for me when I'm in downtown SLO.

There are a lot of great drives into and out of SLO County, so I'll send those details to registrants so that you can group up and have mini-rallies before/after the WCR.

Original 18-Feb-2021 Posting:

Hi All --

I will continue to edit/update this posting as details are nailed down, but we've finalized the dates and location for the 2021 West Coast Ramble: the WCR will be held October 14-17, 2021 in San Luis Obispo. Ink it into your calendar!

The "host" hotel is the Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo. While this place ain't cheap, it is clean, safe and within walking distance of lots of food and entertainment venues. Call them at (805) 242-0269 and ask for Angela -- she is the only one that can give you the group rate. When you book at the Quality Suites make sure to ask for the "914WORLD Group Block Rate." The 3-day total is $747.63. We may see a slight discount on this rate as we get closer to our rally as per hotel staff (I am presuming they'll credit the cost; stay tuned).

Presuming the COVID-19 pandemic is not going to re-rear its ugly head again this fall, there is a free Downtown Trolley that operates Thursday through Saturday nights, with a bus stop out front of the Quality Suites.

Check out Woodstock Pizza for the Sat night awards dinner. If we get a hotel on Monterey it’s a easy 10 min walk. Not a whole lot of places downtown that can fit our group.

Posted by: strawman Feb 18 2021, 08:03 PM

Update: 2/18/2021 -- I met with the hotel managers at The Kinney Hotel, Quality Inn Hotel, and Lamplighter Motel (across from Quality Inn) today, and all said the weekend of October 14-17 works for them. I'm expecting a call back from each company's event coordinator within the next week. I expect the Lamplighter cost/night to represent lower-cost alternatives to the eventual host hotel that are located along Monterey Street within walking distance. There are also several boutique inns for those whose significant other wears the pants among us

The Kinney has banquet rooms on-site for 40 diners in the large room and another 20 in the room nearby (separated by the full service bar). Not ideal, since we'd be separated for the awards presentation, or would have to crowd into the larger room (has a non-COVID capacity of 94 persons). We could also go to Woodstock's Pizza about 0.9 miles away, or try to get a banquet room at Central Coast Brewery (3 mi away) or at SLO Brew Rock (~4 mi near the SLO Airport). Another option is the renting the nearby Monday Club and bringing in catering, but that'll be $$$. I'll check in with those places in the next week and provide an update.

I stopped by SGS Independent Porsche Autocare about a possible tech session (Corner-balancing a 914? The PPI process? or ??), and Nathan and Guy are open to it. Guy's active in our local PCA autocross events, and he committed to chatting more about it with me. I scheduled a corner-balance and alignment of my Beast for March 4th while I was there.

I also stopped by Pokrajac Automotive to talk with Mike, the guy that built and tuned my Beast's Subaru engine. He's willing to do a dyno day -- $100 per car for 3 pulls with printouts, if we can guarantee 10 cars. It takes about 30 minutes per car from the time it drives up onto the Mustang Dyno until the next one can drive up -- so it'd need to be a choreographed event and each car would need to be ready to go (no big oil drips, tires aired-up, safely tuned, etc.). Maybe Thursday afternoon/early-evening? If you're interested in that, reply to this thread and I'll add a separate list at the top of this thread.

I'm meeting with four of my 24 Hours of Lemons teammates tomorrow for lunch, and I plan to recruit them to help plan the drives and possibly provide road support during the drives. Aaron owns a 1974 914 with a 1.8, although he's wrapping up the hotrod/rebuild of a 2.7 sixer to up the ante. I'm sure I can finally get him to join 914World since he'll be helping me host this event...

Geoff

Posted by: strawman Feb 18 2021, 08:08 PM

One more thing: if you look at Google Earth views of the hotels along Monterey Street, you'll see that The Kinney has the most parking space for our cars and a few trailers. The Veterans Center is within rock-throwing distance, with plenty of long-vehicle/combo curbside parking along Palm and Mill Streets. Again, I've got an acre in nearby Los Osos with a full-service shop -- so that's another possibility for staging tow rigs.

Posted by: Retroracer Feb 18 2021, 08:16 PM

Hey Geoff - I'd be up for seeing how much my car weighs (maybe at SGS?) - if they need a volunteer vehicle to show how their scales work..!

And, I'd be up for a dyno pull for giggles and grins. Although getting some of the V8 boys on deck might be more entertaining (I'm talking to you @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=19241 ..!).

Looking forward to it already....

Another suggestion for Sat night dinner, keep it within walking distance of our hotel.
SLO has City Police, County Sheriff and CHP offices all within the city. There always patrolling for that DUI college student. If the trolley is running its even better.

One thing I found when dealing with event managers, the deal they offered was worse than what could be had with other ‘general’ discounts like military, senior, AAA, etc.

Check those too and if they offer less, nudge them in the right direction.

Posted by: Coondog Mar 9 2021, 06:53 PM

Be prepared for a date change. Either one week earlier or one week later. Reason is the week we chose is parent week for the SLO college students. The good news we will get a better hotel rate with a savings of $70.00 dollars and all the restaurants will not be as packed.


More info to come.

Quick update: Cal Poly still has not announced the dates for Parents Week on campus, although Quality Inn is assuming it is either the October 8-9 weekend or the October 15-16 weekend based on their pricing and discussions with the local manager.

I reached out to the Director of Parking & Transportation on campus (she has a hopped-up Speedster replica!) a couple of weeks ago, and she heard back today that the dates still have not been nailed down and likely won't be until early summer.

For that reason, I am changing the WCR dates to one week later (October 21-24). The hotel prices shown on the Quality Inn website are indeed 20-30% lower that weekend.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Mar 25 2021, 09:04 AM

We'll be there

Hotels are gonna be fun though We have one at Cal Poly and another in the wings. Rooms are always a challenge.

This is going to be an EPIC WCR. SLO is Cali at it's finest.

Posted by: strawman Mar 26 2021, 05:53 PM

And the whipsaw continues... I just heard from my contact at the Cal Poly campus that they've moved the Parents Weekend from October 16th to October 23rd. The good news is that my alma mater (UC Davis) is playing Cal Poly in football that night, and it'll likely be another Aggies slaughter over the Mustangs. The bad news is that it'll jack up hotel room prices if we keep our WCR on that weekend.

I just met with the assistant manager at Quality Inn to see if they'll adjust their room rates back down for the previous weekend and he's checking into it. Still waiting to hear back, but we might need to revert back to October 14-17. Stay tuned...

1. Should we all be booking our room now via the hotel's website, or is one of the organizers getting a group rate for us (or something like that)?
2. What is the recommended hotel check-in and check-out dates. Or the better question is probably - what time on Oct 14 is the first event, and what time on Oct 17 is the last event?

Thanks, and look forward to meeting everyone!!

HOTEL GROUP RATE HOTEL GROUP RATE HOTEL GROUP RATE HOTEL GROUP RATE

Quality Suites SLO.......(805) 242-0269. You have to ask for Angelia she is the only one that can give you the group rate.

When you book at the Quality Suites make sure to ask for the 914 World Group Block Rate. Three day out the door cost is $ 747.63. We may see a slight discount on this rate as we get closer to our rally as per hotel staff.

Unfortunately the hotel will only hold 20 rooms at this rate after that booking via AAA will see a slight increase.

Please note each room has a separate living area with a fold out couch, if you want to double, triple up......


We are making this the host hotel, there are several others within very close walking distance but you won’t save much and the Quality Suites hotel parking lot privacy is xlint.

I’ll try getting ahold of Angelia to see if I can get the reduced rate. Any chance there is a group confirmation #? That may help.

Either way looking forward to this trip. Beautiful area and should be a great time.

Wow! I just saw this (I hang out too much in the sandbox & don't check the other forums...). Just down the road from me. It's been too long since I saw a 914. I'll have to show up.

Great Mark ! Last time I saw you was at the Rio Rancho Atomic Ramble; you were changing your alternator in the parkin lot at Brew place…

Posted by: Cairo94507 May 6 2021, 08:43 PM

I booked for Friday and Sat nights. Greg hooked me up with Angelia who hooked me up and saved me some money. It's SLO so it is going to be a bit expensive. But that is why we own 914s and not 911 Turbos.

Just booked 2 rooms for 914Rubber $880 - Hotels.com will get me to a free night to use later.

Not to sound cheap or broke but $249 per night is waaaayyyy out of line. When we did San Simeon it was $79 per night, and a couple years back was the same at the Marriot.....$747 for three nights? Really? I thought we were 914 guys.....not Ferrari guys....someone please find an alternative or a share deal.....who can afford that?

Thats not too far off from Mammoth prices... And I KNOW the cost of that event scared off some people... Sadly there wasnt any other choices.

Room booked for Friday and Saturday night. Just got off the phone with Angelia, she says she is sometimes not there and anyone can help us with the group rate, but I would still ask for her just to be sure.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Jun 2 2021, 10:39 AM

Looking forward to the WCR! I am continuing to get my car to the next level (in my opinion). Just did the full Spoke's LED package and love it. Also just pulled the door cards off and replaced all of the clips and the receivers (thank you 914 Rubber) that actually go into the door and accept the clips. Then got all the clips and screws secured. Door cards look terrific now. Tomorrow it goes in to get the tailpipe sniffed to see if it is running rich or not -smells rich to me- and more importantly smells rich to my wife (yeah).

Posted by: RFoulds Jun 2 2021, 11:37 AM

The only way I can swing this is convince my wife we are going to SLO for her birthday weekend, and just "happened" to stumble on a 914 gathering.

Hi Everyone! Thinking to join this event...

I see there has been alot of input regarding the Hotel and some of the drives and dinning, but I think the plans are yet undetermined. If the organizers need an extra-hand, happy to throw my hat in; Shirts, Trophies, etc..

Is there an attendees list yet? Excited about this event!

My wife and I are planning to be there!
Were heading down with a motorhome with 914 in tow.
Redwood City, then Halfmoon Bay, then Morro Strand Beach and then SLO.

Just got the 914 on the road and took it to sportscar races at Laguna Seca last weekend, we go and camp each year. It was fun to have it to tool around the track/camping area and to run into Monterey with. But I have a lot of loose ends to tie up before WCR.

Crap. It is looking like we won't be able to make it this year. Just bought a new place (to us) up in Auburn, closing on 9/29. I have a bit of work to do before we can move in and I just can't take a weekend out of the calendar and hit my schedule. I am bummed.

Our current place will go on the market on 10/1 which is the other complication as I need to be around to deal with that.

Posted by: CoronaMike Sep 25 2021, 11:09 AM

In addition to the OFFICIAL tshirt when it's ready, you can also gear up over at 914 Reasons.

Here's a few - but there's a bunch more.

Alright, "registration" is officially open! I put it in quotes because I am not charging a fee this year, since I know that hotel costs are crazy-high in this beautiful part of the country and mostly everything will be a la carte (more details below). PM me thru this website, and include your real name and the screen/real names of your guests. I'll update the attendee list every day or two.

Upfront, I want to thank the incredible vendors that support our Porsche 914 addiction and provide such great service to us. In anticipation of this year's WCR event, I have talked with many of them, and their support for WCR 2021 is pouring in. As additional commitments are made, I'll update the list. The donated items will be raffled off during the Saturday evening awards dinner at Woodstock's in downtown SLO; winners must be present to accept prizes. If you are willing to contribute something (hint: I'm looking for someone to make People's Choice trophies!), please PM me. Below is the current list in alphabetic order:

Official T-Shirt Ordering Link

Click on the http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=355950 to order t-shirts! Registrants whose orders are received by October 7th will be provided their t-shirt(s) during registration on October 14th; all others must choose the direct shipping option.

WCR 2021 Sponsors List:

https://914rubber.com - SWAG bags & various 914 items
https://914werke.com/ - various 914 items
Bruce Stone - refurbished pedals set
BuddyV - posters of WCR 2021 logo
https://www.pmbperformance.com - refurbished caliper set
https://www.pokrajacautomotive.com - discounted dyno runs
https://www.spokeworksled.com - two sets of LED taillights
strawman - WCR 2021 logo artwork

Below is the final draft logo for this WCR 2021 that I worked with a local graphics artist to develop. I will start a separate posting to order shirts from a reliable local vendor whose shop is a few doors down from my office and we've used him for a lot of past orders. I'll add a link to this posting here once that link is up. A range of options will be provided (color of shirt, long- or short-sleeve, women's/men's, hoodie, etc.), and ordering will be done through a third-party vendor. The shirts will be distributed during registration on Thursday October 14th.



Due to COVID-19, the only "official" gathering will be at Woodstock's Pizza on Saturday October 16 at 6PM in downtown SLO. Everyone will be responsible for ordering and paying for your own meals/drinks. The same is true for meals during the Friday and Saturday drives -- you're on your own to set up small groups to chow down for lunch in Cambria (Friday), and lunch in Los Olivos (Saturday).

The SLO Trolley is currently suspended due to a lack of bus drivers, so there's no free shuttle between the host hotel and Woodstock's on Saturday evening. You can choose to make the (pleasant) walk to Woodstock's from the host hotel, Uber, or park downtown. There's three parking garages within a few blocks, and plenty of curbside parking nearby in the vibrant SLO downtown area -- but please drive safely/sober if you choose to drive.

In mid-September, the SLO County Public Health Officer decreed that face masks must be worn indoors due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, and I ask that you respectfully comply. Obviously, when you're eating/drinking, mask wearing is not possible and I am certain that enforcement is relatively lax. But I don't want our Porsche 914 community to be labeled "those guys" for raising an unnecessary ruckus.

During registration, you'll be provided your shirt (if you ordered one!), the final itinerary of events, print-outs of the drives on Friday and Saturday, ballots for People's Choice Awards (longest drive, best original, best modified, etc.), raffle tickets, as well as maps to get to the Dyno Day and other events that we can (safely) put together. I'm thinking a Thursday night sunset picture opportunity near Morro Rock, followed up with small-group gatherings to eat dinner in Morro Bay / Cayucos... but I'm open to other ideas (PM me!).

The car show will officially kick off in the Quality Suites Inn parking lot following the Saturday drive. I'll be there to collect the ballots, which we will tally up prior to meeting at Woodstock's later that evening.

I will continue to maintain this posting #1 as the singular place for details, so please subscribe and check back often.

Update on 27-Aug-2021:

I have run a few great Central Coast drives over the past few weekends, and I believe we've got 'em locked in now. I'm also working with a great local artist to design a cool t-shirt, and will start a separate thread once it's ready for debut. I haven't yet figured out the registration fee that will include the t-shirt, but will update this thread as soon as I can nail it down. Stay tuned!

We'll do a Thursday evening drive for the early check-ins to the Morro Rock to watch the sunset, snap a few pics, and catch up. Those who are up for it can join me for dinner at Beda's Biergarten for some authentic German food and cold beer.

Friday morning will start at 9:14AM in the Quality Inn parking lot, with a re-group at Cloisters Community Park in Morro Bay. Then we'll head up the Coast and then over the mountains to Paso Robles Wine Country for some scenic and twisty roads. Next it's back to the Coast to to see some unique Coastal Vistas and have lunch in Cambria in small groups. Later that afternoon, we'll head over to watch those who signed up (details coming soon!) for dyno pulls.

Saturday morning will be another 9:14AM start, and we'll head along the south Coast (after a diversion to a unique SLO picture-taking opportunity!) and head for the twisty roads in the North Santa Barbara County Wine Country. We'll head back to the Quality Inn parking lot to display our cars and collect ballots for People's Choice / Best of Show.

The awards banquet will take place at 6:00PM at https://woodstocksslo.com/, which is located relatively close to the Quality Suites. Click on the link to see their menu. It'll be No-Host, so you're responsible for buying your own grub and beer. But I can vouge for it all; it is a go-to for me when I'm in downtown SLO.

There are a lot of great drives into and out of SLO County, so I'll send those details to registrants so that you can group up and have mini-rallies before/after the WCR.

Original 18-Feb-2021 Posting:

Hi All --

I will continue to edit/update this posting as details are nailed down, but we've finalized the dates and location for the 2021 West Coast Ramble: the WCR will be held October 14-17, 2021 in San Luis Obispo. Ink it into your calendar!

The "host" hotel is the Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo. While this place ain't cheap, it is clean, safe and within walking distance of lots of food and entertainment venues. Call them at (805) 242-0269 and ask for Angela -- she is the only one that can give you the group rate. When you book at the Quality Suites make sure to ask for the "914WORLD Group Block Rate." The 3-day total is $747.63. We may see a slight discount on this rate as we get closer to our rally as per hotel staff (I am presuming they'll credit the cost; stay tuned).

Presuming the COVID-19 pandemic is not going to re-rear its ugly head again this fall, there is a free Downtown Trolley that operates Thursday through Saturday nights, with a bus stop out front of the Quality Suites.

Hi Geoff,

I am SO bummed! I am not going to be able to make WCR with my 914-6. I have some work that is still being completed (refurbished fuel tank and stainless steel fuel lines, etc.).

So, I'm hoping it will be ok if I come in a non-Porsche. I will make sure that I am at the back and out of the photos when everyone is driving in your long row of awesome, beautiful, colorful 914s zooming along the many great roads you've planned.

I wil also park at the ends of rows when the cars are parked so as not to mess up any display of cars in parking lots. Gotta make sure those photos look great.

I'm going to PM you.

Thanks so much for all of your dedicated work to set up a wonderful West Coast Ramble!

I'm looking forward to seeing friends, meet new enthusiasts and look at all of those cool 914's!

(I am planning on meeting up with the Seal Beach/Malibu group early Thursday morning.)

See you soon.......

Cheers,
Margie

Posted by: PCH Oct 13 2021, 11:52 AM

This is the 101 SB at Refugio on Monday late afternoon.

As of today (Wed) the 101 is still closed. Given winds are expected tonight, I would guess the 101 will be still closed Thursday morning. Unsure when it will reopen.

The 154 to the Santa Ynez Valley is open but with really heavy traffic.

I still suggest north on the 33 from Ventura to west on the 166 to north on the 101. It's a wonderful curvy road out of Ojai. Not sure of what the traffic situation will be. And be sure you start with a full tank of gas. The last stop with gas for certain is on the 33 in Ojai.

I believe the 154 is a non-starter as it is too close to the 101 and will bring heavy traffic. Other northbound travelers will opt for the 5 North.

This way we can still do breakfast at Paradise Cove, have a leisurely drive to Santa Maria over to SLO and steer clear of the fire.

Sounds like a great day to me !

Hi: I'm not sure I'm navigating this thread or Forum correctly but I hadn't heard back about the upcoming WCR in San Luis Obispo. I had asked to find out where the participants would be meeting on Saturday morning, October 16th. I am only able to do the drive that day. Would truly appreciate getting this information ASAP.

FYI: I am a freelance photojournalist in the automotive area and I would like to cover the drive portion on Saturday for CarGuyChronicles.com

Thanks so much.

Back in the Pre Internet Forum days, when we communicated my newsletters, the 914 Tour 2000 was one of the biggest events and attracted 30 914's! I was 30 years old, newly married and the youngest 914 owner in the group!

Looks like a terrific event. I am so sorry I missed it. But we bought a new place up in Auburn, sold our other place and I have been working like crazy to get the new one ready for us to move in.

To further complicate life, I am having a complete shoulder replacement on Monday the 25th, so I have to get as much done as possible as I will be useless for at least 2 months following surgery. Of course, according to my wife, I am already useless....

I hope your surgery goes well. I opted out of surgery on one of my shoulders this year. PT helped. Bicep Tendon tear. I was looking at 3 down months had I been cut on.
