914World.com _ 914World Garage _ St. Louis area impromptu?
Posted by: 9146986 Nov 17 2005, 08:32 AM
We are going to be in the west St. Louis area the 30th through the 3rd. Just wondering if anyone would want to get together on maybe the evening of 12/1?
Posted by: rdauenhauer Nov 17 2005, 08:51 AM
Im also planning on being "round there" on or about that time frame. Actually Scott AFB 
Posted by: STL914 Nov 17 2005, 11:50 AM
Perry,
Where abouts in West St. Louis? Who is this "we" you speak of, you and spouse?
Would possibly be interested in a dinner at a local
eating establishment.
Posted by: flatout Nov 17 2005, 12:22 PM
Depending on the weather and the actual evening you want to have a get together,I could make it. 
Posted by: 9146986 Nov 17 2005, 09:53 PM
The "we" is my wife, two kids, and my wife's parents. We are going to visit my wife's brother and his wife, who live in Troy, MO. I was thinking Thursday night, but maybe Friday if more could come?
What about Dave Monk? Kevin Jung?
Posted by: SpecialK Nov 17 2005, 10:09 PM
Tell me when and where. I'm about 30 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis, love to get together for diner, drinks, whatever... 
-Kevin
P.S. - If you're into the best prime rib you've ever had, I know the place (in the St. Louis area).

Posted by: hi ho silber Nov 19 2005, 08:43 AM
Rich,
So your the guy 
Just kidding!
Why do you hate airplanes?? Are you taking a bus out here
Can you clarify "demo'ing and rebuilding all the houses on base"? Those of us who are tax payers want to know!
I do understand you're demolishing several areas that have been condemed and uninhabited for awhile, then rebuilding.
I also understand your company will manage the remaining homes and through many years and stages remodel or rebuild.
I've spent twenty years in the Air Force and have never lived "on base". Many folks are just the opposite and this is a big adjustment for them!
Sorry for the non 914 crap!! Just felt like a rant was in order!
Rich as we get closer to your arrival please drop me a PM with some contact info!
Later

Great to see you posting Dave (say 
to Kim for us).
I was trying to think of something, restaurant-wise, kind of central to everyone....something along Hwy 40, maybe around Chesterfield Commons, lots of new restuarants went in there in the last couple of years, but I'm open for suggestions....Gary (STL914), got any ideas?
When it gets to the week of your visit Perry, we'll have something nailed down with maps on how to get there from Troy, MO.
Unfortunately Shelby, and her friends will have a pretty good haul, but we'll definitely have to get some people together this spring for another go at those crazy roads down in your neck-of-the-woods.
-Kevin (and Vicki)
...And Dave, don't worry about the "no 914 content rant", there wasn't any 914 content to start out with. 
Posted by: 9146986 Nov 19 2005, 10:01 AM
I think we can have it on Thursday or Friday, if it makes it any easier for anyone. Chesterfield Commons is a good area. Maybe we can get a head count by Tuesday or so, and get reservations.

err .. commercial jetliner travel 
Living in PACNW I fly a lot and it sucks.
Not only the security buffoonery but it never fails that If I fly .. I get a cold
I am no sure what the actual phasing plan is for Scott, as the CIO its not really my focus.
Oh and btw ...I pay taxes too and although ive never served (but im a AF brat) some of the stuff Ive seen on these deals makes my blood boil. 
Posted by: SpecialK Nov 19 2005, 01:35 PM
Friday might be better. That way Rich can get settled in.

Kevin,
By Chesterfield Commons, are you referring to the shopping mall built in Chesterfielf Valley south of Hwy 40 east of the airport?
There are quite a few places to eat in the area, from Applebee's, Red Lobster, LongHorn Steakhouse, O'Charley's, Olive Garden plus quite a few more.
An added point of interest would be Fred Kemp's new auto museum. Fred own's Kemp's Homes and has a great collection of Mercedes Benzes. Not sure what the museum's hours are but that would be a place to go after dinner, time permitting.

Yep, just east of Spirit of St. Louis Airport (I just thought "Chesterfield Commons" sounded better than Gumbo Bottoms
, a.k.a - Lake Chesterfield back in the flood of '93 
).Ton's of restuarants, now we just need to choose one. A cool idea on the car museum, didn't know that there was one there.

The museum was built last year. I'm still trying to get a chance to go there.
I met Fred Kemp about 5 years ago. While I was a PCA board member I was putting an "all German car show"
and I call his office one day to invite him to bring one of
his cars. His secretary told me that he was in a staff meeting and couldn't be disturbed. When I told her who I was and the reason for my call, she told me to wait a second. Next thing I know, I was talking to Fred. He actually excused himself fron his own meting to talk about cars. He brought two of his cars to the show, one was a silver Gullwing Mercedes 300SL.
I understand that Fred passed away in July of last year, before the completion of the museum.
Posted by: SpecialK Nov 20 2005, 10:40 AM
Museum.....sounds like a plan!! 
Plus it's one long strip, with easy access to and from the highway for the out-of-towners. Hate for anyone to get lost, it's easy to do if you get on the back roads out here.

Posted by: SpecialK Nov 21 2005, 05:36 PM
Friday's cool with me.......
Perry?
Dave?
Gary?
Shelby?
Posted by: hi ho silber Nov 21 2005, 06:35 PM
Friday works for us.
Annie Gunn's please it's been on our list of places to go
Perhaps the meseum will stay open a little later like til 630ish then we can make it the meeting spot then dinner??
I know the chances are small, does someone have another connection there?
Later,
Posted by: flatout Nov 21 2005, 07:47 PM
friday sounds fine with me. 
Posted by: STL914 Nov 21 2005, 08:09 PM
Friday works here too. When and where?? Keep in mind that Fridays usually are pretty busy at local restuarants, so we'll need to be pepared for at least a 30 minute wait.
Now, if we had a group of about 100, the museum, according to the web site, does cater.
Posted by: SpecialK Nov 21 2005, 08:12 PM
Excellent!
Then we just need Perry to "sign off" on the date, and it's a go for Friday.
Dave, have you talked to/seen Matt to see if'n he's interested?
Shelby....Do you think Randy would like to join us? He's quite a character! And a helluva nice guy.
Edit: I'd have to read the post over, but I think Perry said "Thurs. or Fri." originally....so it sounds like we're good to go!
Posted by: flatout Nov 21 2005, 10:10 PM
Kevin, he might, I was just with him and Paula,his wife, at a basketball game about an hour ago. I'll see him tomorrow and ask. Will let you know. He is running for a state judge seat. Randy as a judge something to think about. it would be pretty cool,huh?

He's got my vote! Congrats Randy!!
...or is it more like...
Posted by: 9146986 Nov 22 2005, 12:54 PM
Friday is good with us. We would prefer a place that doesn't have peanuts on the floor. We may bring the kids & Sindy's folks with to eat, and we have a serious nut allergy. Of course that means actual peanuts & tree nuts, not 914 nuts
Hey O'Fallon is cool too. I hadn't looked at a map until this am, and didn't really know where Troy was
Posted by: STL914 Nov 22 2005, 05:28 PM
Perry,
Troy is about 20 minutes from me. While there are some good places to eat here in O'Fallon, Chesterfield Commons would be more centrally located for the others.
Dave mentioned Annie Gunn's, but after checking their menu on line, I don't feel like paying $36 for a steak when I can get a complete meal plus desert at Applebee's for half the cost. Besides, my baby needs new paint and I'm pinching my pennies.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Posted by: 9146986 Nov 22 2005, 08:23 PM
We are OK with good and reasonable prices. It's the fellowship I'm after not spendy food.
Posted by: SpecialK Nov 22 2005, 09:54 PM
OUCH!! $13 for a friggin' hamburger!!
Sorry Dave, maybe another day for Annie's.
Applebee's...yeah, or maybe The Fox and Hound Pub and Grill (as long as their burger's are less than my 2005 personal property taxes ).
Posted by: 9146986 Nov 27 2005, 09:46 AM
Howbout a headcount?
Anybody want to pick a restaurant?
Posted by: hi ho silber Nov 27 2005, 10:57 AM
I'm in, plus one or two (depending on the weather = weather good I bring a two seater ).
I haven't been in touch with Matt. I think he was out of town last week.
Annie Gunn's is out and I'm okay with that. So Kev you've got Six Flags and $13 property taxes? I gotta move:lol2:
Kevin tell us more about this Fox and Hound place After all they have Applebee's in TN and WA 
Please ensure the Fox and Hound is kid friendly.
As Perry said it really doesn't matter the place it's more for the company 
So I'm up for anywhere!
Cheers,
Posted by: flatout Nov 27 2005, 12:00 PM
I'm in too, unless we have bad weather. Just decide on a place to eat.
Posted by: SpecialK Nov 27 2005, 01:19 PM
Okay....I checked out The Fox and Hound. Sounds like a nice place, reasonable prices, but mainly a "Cheers" type Pub/Grill place. Probably not real cool for the kiddies 
. Upon reviewing the list of restuarants in that area I somehow omitted Joe's Crab Shack 
. We've been to the one in St. Peters, MO...good food, prices not bad, huge menu selection (iffin you're not into seafood), and definitely "kid friendly" (in fact, ours found it to be quite an amusing place). It's also very close to Boone's Crossing, the entrance/exit on I-40/64, which could also make it a little less confusing for the out of towners to get there, and home again.
If there's no objections to the location, and I can get a fairly accurate head count, I'll call them up and have them reserve a section for the group.
Time-wise, I was thinking around 7p.m.-ish....I know it's kind of late, but I'm afraid anything earlier and you'd be stuck in some serious traffic no matter which way you're coming from.
Just a suggestion.....whadaya guys think?
-Kevin
Posted by: ninefourteener Nov 28 2005, 11:03 AM
HOWDY!!!!
No.... I wasn't out of town...... I was moving FROM base housing on Scott AFB, to O'Fallon, IL...... I bought a house, and have been moving in..... ironically enough to AVOID the housing priovatization (no offense, just didn't want anything to do with it)
I'm definately in...... Friday night...... My wife and I will definately be there.... wherever exactly we decide to go. It'll be nice to see more than 1 or 2 teeners in one place.
Anyway.... add one more teener to the list
--Matt

There's one there too. I haven't been to the one in Chesterfield.....yet.
I put a link to a map. It's real easy to get to, and from the hwy (I-40/64) from the restaurant (a good thing if you're not from around here!).
So, lets get a head count for the reservations I'll be making.
2 adults for me
Matt = 2 adults
Gary = 2 adults
Shelby = 2 - Maybe 4
Dave = 2 adults + 1 child (don't tell him I called him that
)Dennis = 2
Perry = 4 adults + 2 kiddies

Anyone figured out a firm TIME yet
Also, How many 914s are gonna be there???
Posted by: dennisc Nov 28 2005, 07:20 PM
So--which one are we going to? Chesterfield or St Peters? I can't find any I-40 on my map. Found Chesterfield on map but right now I wouldn't have any idea where to go.

I figured on 7pm mainly to lessen the chance of people getting stuck in the bullshit traffic on I-40 and I-270. It can literally be a parking lot
any time before 6:30pm....especially on Friday for some reason. So unless there's objections to the time, we'll figure on meeting there at 7.I'm not sure who all will be driving 914's. Mine are still down, but I know for sure that Shelby (and maybe Randy [VERY nice green 914]), Gary and Dave all have fine examples of German engineering they might be goaded into driving there.
I hope they do bring them....I need the inspiration!!
Posted by: dennisc Nov 28 2005, 07:23 PM

Chesterfield is the one to go to Dennis.
Just ran a map.....Dennis!! You da man!
It's about 2 hrs. drive from where you're at.When you get to #10 on the driving directions (Boone's Crossing exit), you're there (see the "Joe's Crab Shack" link up the page for a more detailed map).

I'll be there.... in the teener..... unless its raining or snowing, at 7pm.
Better believe I'm checking back here before I leave though..... the last STL 914 meeting was only 2 people... including myself, and only 1 car, including mine.
My wife will be pulling in about 1/2 hour later..... in her hot-rodded, bad ass, 1600 horsepower, 2000 chevy cavalier....... maybe she'll clean out the car so we can see the floors again--LOL

Yeah, I remember the "get-together" Matt
, at least I got to see a real live running 914!I called Joe's, they don't take reservations at that particular restuarant, but they're aware that we're coming, and told me to call ahead to give them a chance to make room for us....she said there might be a little wait, but assured me it wouldn't be long.......and "the checks in the mail, and I won't cu......

So it's 18 - 20 adults (depending on Randy and his wife), and three non-adults. I gotta keep it straight so I know how many to warn...umm...tell them is coming. Friday's weather is looking unprecipatory (if that's a word), so bring them thar poorshee's guys (and gal)!
Posted by: flatout Nov 30 2005, 03:33 PM
Kevin, we'll be there for sure. Randy will let me know thursday. I think I am going to leave here early friday, and make a day of it in the big city. I will pm you my cell number just in case things change during the day friday, so we're not there by ourselves
Posted by: STL914 Dec 1 2005, 07:39 PM
Kevin,
I just received an e-mail from a John in Brentwood. He tells me he just bought a 75 last week and wants to meet other 914 owners. I told him about the dinner tomorrow and asked if he'd be able to join us. I'll let you know if he replies and intends to come.
I certainly hope Joe's has enough room for us!
Anyone wearing 914club apparel tomorrow? Anyone bringing Porsche related pictures?

Tell John "Hell yes he can join us!" The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned! I'll call them tomorrow when I get home and tell them to expect around 20.
I'll be wearing my 2004 FFC shirt (and a warm coat). I don't have any good 914 pics to bring, but I hope to take quite a few [hint, hint]!

Let me be the first to say what a great time we had tonight at Joe's. My wife Cyndi and I met some new friends and enjoyed the chance to talk to you all.
Thanks to Kevin for arranging the evening with Joe's
Looking forward to the next get together.

Please allow me to "third" that as well. My wife was TERRIFIED to go to a "car" event... but she had a great time meeting everyone.... so did I.
And I might as well be the first to say it... cause I KNOW it's gonna be brought up....... YES.... I locked my keys in the car...... in the ignition, and had to call a locksmith.
Nevertheless, we waited at Shake + Steak for about 30 minutes, the locksmith showed up, and popped open the teener with no problem, and we went on our merry way
Go ahead... blast away.... what kind of a dumbass locks his keys in the 914....... at his first 914 event??? LOL
Anyway.... lets see some of those pics!!!!!
Thanks again everyone!!! Had a blast!!!
Matt

Glad you got your car unlocked Matt, I really felt bad about that....it was really my fault....kinda, sorta
Well the Air Force came through! Dave and Matt brought their 914's, and Shelby brought one of her beauties [VERY sweet tail-dragger]
Met some really great people tonight, and I look forward to seein' ya'll again before too long! Perry mentioned something about getting together down in TN ....sounds like a plan!
Well, my camera batteries are dead 
, and I'm dead tired, so I'll have to post the pics I got tomorrow when both of our batteries are recharged.
Matt- I'll PM you about the heater blower, would have come in handy tonight for sure!

Matt,
Don't feel to bad about locking your keys in your car, it's happened to all of us. I did the same thing years ago;
keys in the ignition, radio blasting, motor running! A
co-worker brought it to my attention about a half hour
later.

Oops wrong picture
This ones better! This is Matt's car and:
Shelby not hearing, Perry not seeing, and Kevin not speaking of the evil key incident.

Matt,
At least you had a warm place to wait!
We got home and my son had locked the door from the garage to the house 
It took us twenty minutes in the cold to wake his teenage butt up
Guess it's time to put a house key on that key chain.
So how did the locksmith break in?

From left to right:
My wife Vicki, Dave's wife Kim, Dave (standing up), Matt and his wife Sherry (hope I spelled it right).

Actually...... my wife's name is Janet, not Sherry---LOL
You owe her a beer now
In response to the "method" the locksmith used..... just a long, stiff wire through the passenger side upper-rear door jam, pulled on the door lock, came right open.
For the 3 pranksters that took pics of my car..... bite me--LOL
And thanks for the close up with the cigarrette..... as if I could feel any worse---LOL
Thanks all!! Had a great time!
--Matt
