I'm down. Not sure what the weekend schedule is, really, but I will see what I can come up with. What is your schedule? I'll send a PM/give you a ring

Posted by: BigDBass May 5 2006, 01:12 PM

Also, in the unlikely event that enough Chicago area peeps are interested, I may be able to bbq. Weather is supposed to be good. Bummer "CheeseheadMark" won't be in the area. Or maybe that's good...

( Not that I'm motivated by my new-to-me teener...)

Hi Clayton.

Sorry to hear you are stuck here in Chicago. I would love to get together but there is no chance I can get away this weekend. I hope some other member can meet up with you. Just the same, I hope you enjoy your stay.

hey = keep your jokes to a level where i dont have to google the punchline!



and dont they do that in the san mateo PD???

Posted by: BigDBass May 5 2006, 08:30 PM

Aw man, he wasn't forthcoming about the flatulence!

Not 5 minutes before Clayton called I was thinking I'd like to TALK 914 rather than type/read for a bit. His call interrupted one of my many recent "staring sessions" during which I smile to myself and confirm that this really is MINE.

He's already trying to get me to replace my 4 day old tires!

Clayton/Dan,
Where are you guys meeting? First weekend out with the 914 this year. A great excuse to take a drive and meet up for a few hours. I'll give Clayton a call tomorrow. My cell is (630) 688-1329 if either of you get a chance.

Clayton,

I was thinking of getting started on my pedal cluster replacement...
I'm in Evanston. 23 miles as the crow flies. Are you still here???
I'd have called before, but I've been on jury duty and got way
behind on car stuff.

Hey Dan, I like your hair cut. Watch out for clayton, he can be a bit of a tail gunner

Posted by: Twystd1 May 9 2006, 08:28 AM

OUCH.....

Thats what he said!


Hehe...c'mon man, ya know I'm just goofing with ya


cause your you

Posted by: BigDBass May 9 2006, 08:33 AM

Nah, he said I was ugly. In fact, he was trying to convince my wife that she was too good lookin' to be married to me

Posted by: Dr Evil May 9 2006, 08:35 AM

He always tries that approach. He told my fiancee the same thing....and me too.


He may be right about us, though.

Posted by: Dr Evil May 9 2006, 08:36 AM

Oh, your wires look fine so I wouldn't worry abou them. That swith was obvious, no?

Posted by: BigDBass May 9 2006, 08:36 AM

No doubt...

Posted by: auggie91420 May 9 2006, 03:25 PM

Dan,

Any time you need Clayton and I to stop over and start your car on fire again, let us know. We'll be glad to help.

What I learned on Sunday:

1. Dan picked up a killer car in Minnesota. All of the hard stuff($$$$$) is in great shape. Some easy clean-up and he's golden.

2. Wish I knew Clayton before I put my motor together, probably could get an extra 100k miles out of it.

3. Clayton's not right.

Welcome to 914 ownership. You got an early taste of what its like to own a 30+ year old car. At least the switch is an easy fix. I'll do what I can to help.

Give me a call if anything else comes up, always looking for a chance to get the 914 out of the city. We'll pull the motor later this year to clean everything up and fix your vacuum leaks. But for now, drive it and enjoy.

Posted by: BigDBass May 9 2006, 03:45 PM

Hey Chris, it looks like you fixed your smiley problem?
