914World.com _ 914World Garage _ april 4/8-15 in sea/tac.....
Posted by: scottb Mar 22 2006, 06:38 PM
visiting family and it would be great to meet some of the northwest contingent.
will be staying with my sister and her family in federal way.
i and my family arrive 4/8 and the best time looks to be sunday 4/9. i like the harmon brewery in tacoma if for no other reason than really good beer.
so...who is up for a gathering? suggestions of venues are welcome. would just be great to meet some "non-club" members and get them to buy me a beer! 
and dave needs to bring out THE VAN ®
cheers,
scott

Sounds like fun. I'm in

Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 22 2006, 09:20 PM
I'm in and can make it for once as I am in town until the 17th or so PLUS I can even drive the 914 to where ever we meet.
So what? there isn't a Hooters in Federal Way yet?

damn!!! i was planing on driving up to sea tac for the week too, but im flying up there for the weekend instead. i also don't have time to get my car ready, otherwise i would change my mind. 
Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 23 2006, 09:46 AM
a. the bus runs directly from the airport to tacoma and the free street car runs in front of the harmon brewery.
b. bum a ride with geoff. he has to drive pretty close to the airport on the way down.
c. ah...the Harmon Brewery, NOT Hooters. S 25th and pacific ave.

Hooters-6812 Tacoma Mall Blvd.
Tacoma, WA 98409
They have got to have better looking girls than the brewery!

better photo ops downtown. bring your 914s guys. dino, shane, jim w, mike? you guys in?

Posted by: spiritedTreiber Mar 29 2006, 04:55 PM
If the weather is nice, we can all go down to the waterfront and then through 5-mile Drive. I am up for it, but cant join you guys in the brewery for another couple of months.... 
Guess I will just have to stand on the sidewalk with a cup and start up a 914 build fund to get my car spiffed up and dream of cold beer.
Posted by: scottb Mar 29 2006, 05:02 PM
OK gents....
i will defer to the locals on the proper location. i will be the one arriving in the rental minivan .
will be staying in fedway so can head north or south depending on the prevailing winds as it were.....
sunday is a go for me so if it works for everyone else, let's go ahead and plan this! will be great to meet some other non-club members.
can someone out west help lead the charge for the locals? anyone? anyone? beuler? beuler?
cheers,
scott
Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 29 2006, 05:22 PM
I think the food and women are better up north in Seattle. Most women here still have their teeth but those Tacoma boys always want to meet down there. 
I can drive 
to Federal Way or Tacoma 
but we could meet anywhere you prefer Scott. 
Kevin only likes pancake houses anyway

doesn't matter to me where we meet. used to live in the area so know my way around a bit so pick a spot.
prefer no pancakes but would take a beer... same kind of components to make both though... yeast, barley, water.... and a burger. on vacation ya know......!
call it lunch? noon time...early enough to break up the day a bit and still dash out later if need be to get shite done?
i know, perfect midpoint is an airport bar!!! mmmmmm.... expensive stuff.....
cheers......

Sunday should work for me. 
Needs to get my arse out instead of workin. 
Tim
Posted by: reverie Mar 29 2006, 07:31 PM
Sunday, April 9th... sounds great!
But I can't think of a place to meet.
If we could find something like the Vintage Cafe in Everett, that would be perfect.
Breakfast, lunch, burgers, beer, you can get anything you want.. excepting Alice.

How about everyone showing up at my garage and stuffing the 3.2 back into the teener.
No cute barmaids though ...

just call one of those numbers in the Stranger and have some "Girls" show up. You do that and we'll all be there!
Posted by: spiritedTreiber Mar 30 2006, 11:13 PM
I guess if you guys are going to a BAR then I will stand out side and make sure the sun doesn't go away (and the teeners too). I might be up for a little grease under the finger nails too. 
Posted by: Rand Mar 30 2006, 11:21 PM
Hope I can make it. Maybe some north-enders can caravan? Troy, Dan, Robert, any of you going?
Hey Jim, maybe if you just walk in with a group of us you won't get carded! 
Hey, worst case scenario you could be the valet and get to drive everyone's teener AND make a c-note in tips!

It came to MY house so finders keepers......
Already got the software loaded up and been reading the instruction book.
Oh, atleast MY 914 isn't on jackstands, wannabe!
Posted by: rjames Mar 31 2006, 10:56 AM
I would love to be there but I already have plans. I'll spend the time in between trying to get out of them so I can show up. 
Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 31 2006, 10:57 AM
Now that sounds like a plan to get outta the plan.

Just an FYI for all you guys, There is a Northwest Region PCA autocross event in Bremerton on April 8th. I wish I could bring out my newly painted new toy but I am going to be out of town.
Posted by: DNHunt Mar 31 2006, 02:03 PM
I'll be at Harmon. I'm unsure on Bremerton. I'm still licking my wounds from Portland.

I've been autocrossing my yellow miata for years and have gone to Scca Nationals once. I picked up a 74 1.8 in October and have spent every waking minute since then getting ready to be my daily driver and PCA play car. I was hoping that everything would be ready and I could attend that Bremerton autox next weekend but I will be in eastern washington. One of these days I will get a chance to meet all of the PNW contigent.

That's kind of tough. We just have room for improvement.
Dave
Posted by: Rocky Mar 31 2006, 08:59 PM
No Dave we are loosers, you and that car have very little room for improvement 
Personally Im up for anything, ESPECIALLY SUMMER!

I think that's why they tell you to look ahead.
The car is pretty good it's the driver that needs improvement.

Posted by: DNHunt Apr 1 2006, 08:54 AM
Gerry and I signed up for the PCA AX at Bremerton Sat April 8. If anyone wants to come out and watch him kick my ass it might make some good entertainment. The only thing left that I can beat him at is golf.
At his first AX in Portland my final instructions were "Don't be a wuss" He proceeded to go out and get the car backwards twice. His last run he beat me by about 2 seconds but got the 2nd to last cone so, we were pretty close on corrected time.
Dave
Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 1 2006, 09:21 AM
Jerry has no fear when it comes to breaking the car! You do as you know how much time and effort plus $$$$ it took to get it done.
Atleast thats what I tell myself when Blair beats me.
Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 8 2006, 08:53 AM
who all is showing up tomorrow?

1pm at harmon in the silver minivan!!!!
cheers,

Look for me in a tan 914 club.com hat if I can get it dried out by then. Man I hope we can keep current on the Masters there. 914's, golf and my wife are my favorite things. 2 out of 3 aren't bad. Not sure about the order though. Right now the wife is third and given that I'm drinking beer and on the nonclub/club and she's giving me the business. It appears the order is not likely to change for a while.
Dave
Posted by: dinomium Apr 9 2006, 01:04 AM
Sorry, guys I am going to have to sit this one out... WIfey suprised me with a day off for her, which means more chores for me and NO tweeking on the green machine!
Hoist em high for me boys!
Posted by: scottb Apr 9 2006, 07:28 AM
tylenol sinus is the shit!!! i feel much better.
as i recall, though it has been a number of years, there are plenty of tv's at the harmon. my brother in law won't tag along because it would cut into his masters viewing time. his ass is going to be glued to the couch all day.

I am showing up....You buying the 2nd round Kevin?
Now to find this place....... 
Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 9 2006, 12:30 PM
sure, schooners of ranier . i know you need to keep the spending down to finance your world travels 
. take the city center exit (705) off of I-5, exit on 21st and turn left. the harmon will be on the other side of pacific. the top of the building will have the old "Harmon" painted on it, hard to miss. 
i'll be there around 12:45. look for the silver bullet.

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 9 2006, 12:36 PM
i anyone gets there earlier than me, the table is reserved under "Powers".

Quit following Kevin's example! Next you and Jerry will be parting out cars on the back 40.
Posted by: KELTY360 Apr 9 2006, 06:33 PM
Hey Scott, Kevin, Dave, Geoff, Blair, James & Willow...great to meet all of you and talk teener. That and finding good 914 parts at a VW swap meet made my day. Thanks especially to Scott for giving us a good excuse to get together. Next time I'll have my car there - at least it's off jackstands now.
Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 9 2006, 06:43 PM
good time. it's the best to meet the faces behind the screens. relative strangers talking like they've known each other for years. the 914 is the great equalizer.

Posted by: scottb Apr 9 2006, 07:44 PM
thanks guys!!!!
made the trip worthwhile and it was only day one!!!
some teeners, some seat time in dave hunts car, listen to a couple of triads....
burgers... beers... conversation....all just for the visitor from the east....
very cool.... pics in a bit.
cheers!!!!
Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 13 2006, 10:15 AM
Ok, here's a pic of the group without DaveHunt or myself in the shot.
Posted by: DNHunt Apr 13 2006, 12:14 PM
The best thing you could do to improve the quality of your picture was to leave me out. Fun time you guys
Dave
Posted by: scottb Apr 13 2006, 12:59 PM
hmmmm.... thought i took more pics
but system says 0kb global space left so can't upload anything.....

thanks again all for the great visit.
