Our only monthly chance to get together in the Southbay happens once again...on Saturday September 27.

9:14 am of course. Bring your friends and show em what a real car is all about!

Let everyone oogle and critique your car...and critique theirs! We can't seem to get enough of this mutual abuse.

Oh and...there is a high probability that one of our friends will bring his newly restored 916...

The October 9:14 breakfast will be our last organized breakfast until January 2004...so come get your fill to last you through the holidays before its too late.

is there a reason we don't go for a drive,
after chatting & verbally abusing one another?

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 17 2003, 06:42 PM

- food coma
- too hot
- too lazy
- didn't bring my 914 today
- got to get home and work on the car
- i met this girl last night and we were planning on ...

No Sir!

So we're going to have a good turn out this weekend, right? There's going to be a 916 and Jenny's silver makeover car ("Brad's Eye for the Straight Girl") and trapese artists and trained elephants and dozens and dozens of clowns jammed into a little car. Right? Cool.

Sorry Douglas, I'll be down in huntington beach this weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday (coincidentally, it's also Chris Campbell's bday)

Meet up at Hooters tonight!!

I'm going to be at the PCA autocross in Candlestick with my Subaru....

on not having the 914 - on aggressive driving - on having to miss out on a 914 breakfast.

It's looking good for my showing up tomorrow. No 914, but oh well -- not like that's all that surprising :-)

How many 914's are expected to this breakfast?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Sep 27 2003, 03:49 AM

We usually have 8-10 cars and 18-20 people. For some reason NOBODY shows up to these events..

Damn! The ONE time I miss breakfast, and Kim actually shows!!

Jen

Posted by: krk Sep 27 2003, 02:15 PM

Ha! Jen, you missed out -- I had to cut out too quickly so I missed any apres-eat chat, but we had at least three first-timer's out! I shot a couple of quick pic's as I exit-ed, which I'll post once I get them loaded up. (Mr. Bowlsby has another bumblee-owner in the neighborhood)

yes! i made it!
the first real day of driving after more than 1 and a 1/2 years. how did i managed without????

still have quite some work to do, but the car runs and drives fine. didn't even have time to change oil. (we worked until 2am this morning to get my car and Mr. Assholes Wife's car ready).
just realized, i didn't even check the oil level before i took off.

200+ miles today. stress-testing that little old 1.8
damm nice to be back on the road ...

I was impressed by all the cars that showed up.

I think the only thing in the trunk was Andy's hood shocks.

All those cars and I took 5 pics -- I usually shoot 100 (love digital cameras -- shot lots and discard the crap -- hm -- I usually end up with 5 good ones... lol)

I'm probably sinning -- I cut them down to 720x640 (I usually shoot in max res), and for jpg compression, just under the 300M limit. Those on bandwidth challenged lines will hate this. If anyone wants the higher res pics, shoot me a pm.

Pic 1. Bunch of 914's.

Pic 4. Bret's car. /6 conversion, 2.7, webers, gt-style hood. I'm probably spelling Bret's name incorrectly, and I didn't get his last name. (yeh, I'm great in sales meetings. lol) But it was good to meet him, and the car looked very clean. I would like to have been able to stick around to hear it. Next time.

Great shots Kim..

Posted by: krk Sep 28 2003, 12:46 PM

Yeh, I wish I'd had a bit more time -- there were quite a few great looking cars that deserved a few shots and I got no engine pics. Ah well -- I was on borrowed time and late enough picking up my SO (points -= 5; lol) as it was. I'll have to post a pic of what Jen didn't get since she didn't show :-)

Olav had some..


He was looking for more..

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 28 2003, 02:03 PM

the real attraction was all the sand that is still seeping out of the cracks from the sandblasting.

arrrgh,
Andy

Posted by: krk Sep 28 2003, 02:59 PM

kidding of course -- I knew you wouldn't be there. But the garage cleaning I mentioned to you earlier has begun, and the long lost parts we talked about are popping out. This is the rare black abs plastic dash-wannabe that I know your car is craving!

Hey Kim,
Judging from the stains on the concrete it looks like somebody swiped your teener!

Posted by: krk Sep 28 2003, 06:01 PM

I was thinking about that when I shot that photo -- you can see the shadow of the offending 914 at the top of the pic! The leaks are tranny leaks -- hm... if it drop the engine to fix the alternator... oh oh ...

Yeah baby!!

Posted by: Jenny Sep 29 2003, 12:17 AM

Kim,
Drool.... it looks so pretty.

Sorry I missed the crowd. First breakfast I've missed all year, I think. Looks like there was a great turn out and everyone had fun.

Jen

Posted by: sj914 Sep 29 2003, 02:41 AM

Looks like a 914 car lot.
