I can show up; just finished installing rebuilt front brake calipers on the DD. Even blinged them in red. 
I'll just funnel some gas outta someone's Escalade at the mall.

Yes, I'll be driving the 6. My computer crashed last week and this is my 1st 914 "FIX" in eight days. Looking forward to a good turnout @ the TBB.

Glen, welcome to the madness and look forward to meeting you, your wife and your car, '72 silver..... 
Also, welcome to the CLUB.....

Rob,
I've been working every chance I get in order to have the RAT engine in my car before the b-fast, but I don't know. I may have it in but not all hooked up. Or we can come over to my "race shop" for a look see after.
And I need to get that rusted POS off my trailer, so mine can go on it.
If we get anymore people we'll have to look for another place to have it. Someplace with a private room and plenty of parking.
Paul

Don't worry about the after storm plans, just you and the family stay safe and move to higher ground.... Good luck and we'll keep you in our prayers...

Still might swing by For the breakfast.
We were told to wait as long as possible before coming back. Good advice. Getting pretty antsy to get the restoration of house and home.
May see you guys in Tampa this coming week.
Paul, I will be picking my parts then also.
Posted by: kenporacer Sep 4 2005, 09:04 AM
I'm in. Erik Watters
Posted by: URY914 Sep 4 2005, 09:59 PM
It dosen't look like my car will make it to the b-fast. Too much to do, too little time. 
But If anyone wants to come back to my "race shop", I only live one exit up from the Cracker Barrel.
We can cut up what is left of my parts car. 
Or take turns sitting in my car
Or I can show you my MASSIVE Type-4. 
Come on, don't let the party end at breakfast. Let's do lunch too

Works for me ... distance is the same headin' back home whether I drop by or not.
Also, if anyone locally is interested, I'm gettin' rid of my '74 parts car that's relatively intact (4 tires and steers). Tons of good parts on it, I just can't keep it anymore (taking up precious garage space). Will email pics. And no, it's the WHOLE CAR, not just what you want ("Ooo, gimme the driver's door, the windshield, speedo, this, that, etc.").
Highly motivated seller & clean title; make decent offer and trailer it gone.

Rob,
Add two more, my boys are going to come with me.

After b-fast how about a couple of you with good strong backs come over to my house and help me lift my engine off the stand and on to my dolly.
Rob, Joe, Eric, Steve...
Thanks
Posted by: smg914 Sep 7 2005, 10:14 PM
I believe I'll have to take my wife home first. But I'll come over after I drop her off.

Thanks fellas,
You guys are swell 
Posted by: Rouser Sep 9 2005, 06:00 PM
Sorry guys, but I have a family emergency in Miami and am there as we speak. Won't be back until Sunday.
I'll have to pass on ANOTHER get-together. 
Guess that's just my luck.
Posted by: Pudge Sep 9 2005, 07:08 PM
Paul,
I'll stop by after to help.

Well, we had another very successful meeting at a local Cracker Barrel. We had 18 people, including wives and/or girl friends and children. Also, we had 6 cars show up. 2 914-6 and 4 914-4. 1 of the 914-6 are original sixes.
Anyway, here's the pics with Rob Quarles in his orange 914-4.

Sorry I missed it. Too many events today, and no running 914!
Posted by: ein 6er Sep 10 2005, 07:10 PM
wow!! great road trip!! drove for about 4 hrs and hung out for about 3 hrs!! it was a pleasure to meet everyone. wish i could have gotten there earlier to get to know everyone better and to admire all the 914s. i've really got twin plug envy now after seeing and hearing t.c.'s engine!! WOW!!! 
i wasn't planning to attend, i didn't think the weather would co-operate with the storm off shore. what a perfect day though!!! hardly a cloud in the sky, (which is extremely rare for fl. in the summer). i was hoping to get there earlier but i was running late, as i walked out the door i glanced at the clock and it read 9:14!!
didn't get any pics of everyones cars. but took a couple at paul's home.
#1, the lightweight

Thanks Doug,
Yes, I often invite people in off the street and tell them about 914 door handle repair. You can see the true joy in Steve's eyes. And Kevin looks spellbound!

Thanks again for those that followed me to my place and gave me a hand with lifting my RAT.
And of course Rob for getting us together.
I think we had as many 914 Owners without thier cars as those that drove thiers.
If the wives wouldn't have called, we still might be in my garage telling stories... 
Paul
Posted by: carr914 Sep 12 2005, 09:02 AM
Thanks Rob for organizing and everyone who came out. Let's keep growing this thing. Wish I could have made it to Paul's, but it's a good thing in that I worked on my carbs over at Rennen, found a couple of small problems and now the car really flies. Anybody up for an after work beer on 9-14?
T.C.
Posted by: KevinP Sep 12 2005, 09:28 AM
Rob,
Thanks for getting everyone together! Paul, Steve, Doug- I had a great time hanging out with everyone. I learn something new everytime we have an event.
Again, thanks to all who made it. Hopefully I'll get mine back together soon and be driving it! 
Kevin
Posted by: kenporacer Sep 12 2005, 03:44 PM
yeah I have to chime in here! Thanks for putting these together Rob. I wish Jose & I could have made it to Pauls but prior commitments prevailed for both of us. I can tell you I really enjoy our visits. Wish I still lived in Lakeland so I could be closer after the meetings are over. Look forward to the next one & thanks again.
E!
Posted by: URY914 Sep 13 2005, 07:31 AM
Next time we need to meet all day with no cell phones or family BS. Just a bunch of guys talking about a silly car.
Oh yea, we need
Paul
Posted by: heavydriver Sep 13 2005, 06:22 PM
A good time was had by all. Next time I won't let myself get sucked into working that same day.
I am looking forward to the next get together.
Posted by: smg914 Sep 13 2005, 10:30 PM
TC......I have tennis practice with my tennis team on 9-14 so I can't do the beer thing this time.
Paul...I agree, next time we should meet after the breakfast and have a few brewskies.
Here is a picture I took at the breakfast of 4 of the 6 914's that were in attendance.
