Just curious if there is any interest in meeting for breakfast occasionally (or any meal really)? I have had my car for 10 years and have only met 2 other 914 owners in the area (and that was in the last 3 months).

In looking at some old posts I noticed some talk about a regular meeting at a dounut shop but I have not seen anything else about it.

Thanks,

I'm up for it.

Posted by: michaelmoo May 19 2006, 12:26 PM

Works for me.

Posted by: STL914 May 19 2006, 01:02 PM

Out of curiousity, how large is the populationn of Kennesaw GA? Trying to figure out the 914 owner ratio.

Posted by: michaelmoo May 19 2006, 01:06 PM

We have a gun law in Kennesaw that if you own a house you have to own a gun. We also have the same law for 914’s...

Posted by: STL914 May 19 2006, 01:13 PM

So if you own a 914 you have to own a gun? To shoot yourself for owning a 914 or to shoot the car?

Posted by: michaelmoo May 19 2006, 01:20 PM

It’s really to shoot the squirrels that try and make nest in your engine tin.

So it looks like we have a group. Hopfully a few more will respond here pretty soon but in the mean time where and when?

Where: It looks like most everyone (except me) is located north of the city. and mostly around 75. That would seem to point to somewhere around Marietta. Any suggestions

When: I'm probably good any time on the weekends. Is there any preference.

I'd try to make it sometime.Mine is not driveable yet...getting closer.I'd like to see some cars and meet owners with some experience with these things.I'm out In Flowery Branch.

I'm in Atlanta every once in awhile and my son lives in Peachtree City, so if the planets are properly aligned I'll be there.

I wouldn't feel bad, mine isn't working either

Posted by: obscurity May 19 2006, 05:07 PM

Finally someone from the south side of the city.

Posted by: blitZ May 19 2006, 06:24 PM

I'd suggest meeting in Atlanta somewhere, since it is in the middle of everyone. Traffic shouldn't be too bad on a Sunday morning. Anyone know of a convenient IHOP?

Here is a list I've been collecting of our local owners. Hopefully, we can have a nice group.

I know of several waffle houses we could meet at. Or if people are more interested in later in the day we could meet at http://www.sixfeetunderatlanta.com/ for a beer

Posted by: Al Meredith May 20 2006, 07:43 PM

Lets go for it. B'fast , Lunch could meet at Andertti Speed zone , Big parking lot and a Fudruckers. I've collected about 20 names in Ga. Check out the map. Oh ya I have Two 914'w and a 912E and none have engines in them Give me about a month and we should have two going. Al

Posted by: obscurity May 20 2006, 08:17 PM

Sorry Les. When I said it looks like everyone lives mear Marietta I Saw you were in Snellville but for some reason I was thinking Smyrna. My mistake

Posted by: blitZ May 20 2006, 08:27 PM

Doesn't matter, I certainly don't mind driving.

Posted by: grasshopper May 20 2006, 08:38 PM

I might be able to make it up there some times

Posted by: blitZ May 21 2006, 06:33 PM

When is a good date and time for everyone? Saturday or Sunday, next weekend?

Posted by: SGB May 21 2006, 06:46 PM

I can't make it next weekend, but I drive over from Huntspatch occaisonally to see other friends. I also try to make it for Road Atlanta events up there in Braselton. I think it would be great ot have a 914 club gathering at one of the ALMS races. I wonder how one gets a parking corral? Hmmm....
Anyway, if it becomes a regular thing, I would enjoy trying to get over for one too.

Posted by: Al Meredith May 21 2006, 06:51 PM

Next weekend is a little short notice for me. That is also a holiday wekend. If some people want to come from out of town they may need to make plans.

Posted by: blitZ May 21 2006, 07:58 PM

Forgot about Memorial Day coming up, how about the weekend after, June 3rd or 4th?

Posted by: SGB May 21 2006, 07:59 PM

I'm just gonna wait till this thing gets rolling before I make any commitments..

Posted by: obscurity May 21 2006, 07:59 PM

How about weekend after next on Sunday (June 4). I was thinking 7:00pm somewhere like Taco Mac where we can get a beer and sit outside.

Posted by: grasshopper May 21 2006, 08:01 PM

well, then I am out... I will be in Kentucy that week...

Posted by: blitZ May 21 2006, 08:39 PM

That sounds good to me.

Posted by: BIGKAT_83 May 22 2006, 05:42 AM

Just set a date and I'll be there.

Posted by: krazykonrad May 22 2006, 12:17 PM

Set a date and I'll try my best to be there!

Posted by: shadygrady May 22 2006, 07:16 PM

Count me in. I know a couple of other guys in the area that aren't computer jockeys or members of the non club that might also be there.

Posted by: obscurity May 22 2006, 07:25 PM

Unless anyone has objections I am going to say 7:00pm on June 4 (sunday) at the Taco Mac in Virginia Highlands (corner of Virginia and N. Highland.)

Just so you all know parking is at a premium in the highlands. I always wind up parking on the street in the the neighborhood. If this is a deal breaker for anyone let me know otherwise I'll see you there.

Posted by: Al Meredith May 22 2006, 07:56 PM

I'm OK with Sun the 4th...BUT Va Highlands? No place to park!
It is also hard to "hang out with the cars" because they will be all over the place. Is there a better Idea. Al

Posted by: shadygrady May 22 2006, 08:29 PM

Posted by: obscurity May 22 2006, 08:34 PM

Fair comment but I have been racking my brain to come up with a place with ample parking and have come up short. I'm afraid all I know are intown places and none of them have parking.

The only places I can think of intown with some decent parking is Park Tavern (corner of Monroe and 10th st.) but I don't know what its like on the weekends
and Manuel's Tavern but there is no outdoor seating.

What do you all think?

Posted by: blitZ May 22 2006, 08:41 PM

I agree, I like that area, but not convenient for a car meet. I was looking at the members map, maybe someplace in Norcross maybe more central and less crowded. There is a Mellow Mushroom just east of 85 on Pleasant Hill or a location in the 285/75 junction is also central, can't think of any restaurant/bars.

Posted by: obscurity May 22 2006, 09:04 PM

What about this place

http://www.5seasonsbrewing.com/index.html

I don't know if they have a patio but as I recall they had a pretty big parking lot and they are just inside the perimeter on Roswell Rd.

Posted by: obscurity May 23 2006, 03:10 PM

Ken

have you been to the Mellow Mushroom? Does it have good parking? If so let go there.

Posted by: agrump May 24 2006, 05:56 AM

How about the Fellini's pizza on Lavista Rd, it has good parking. Might be crowded on the weekends but what isn't anymore?

Posted by: Two914s May 24 2006, 08:01 AM

I would love to meet more people who own 914's in Georgia. We must not let people think that California is the only place with true sports cars!

(in my mind, true sports cars cant have electric seats. No 914's have electric seats! right? who would do that?)

How about CHAMPS on Mansel Road near Northpoint Mall? There is a big parking lot there and it should be about empty on a Sunday evening. Great food!

Or, what about Rock Bottom Brewery near Lenox Mall in Buckhead. They also have a big parking lot and some outdoor seating.

Or, what about Downwind Grill at Peachtree Dekalb Airport that overlooks the runway. They have good parking areas and lots of outdoor seating with views of the planes landing.

Many thanks to those that are planning this!

Looking for where we decided to meet? go vote in the poll so we can decide.

Posted by: db9146 May 24 2006, 09:49 PM

I've voted butit looks like a lot of folks are pointing towards Andretti Speed Lab. Been there once for a work function.

I'll be watching for the when and where. Wont' be able to make it on a Sunday morning but afternoon/evenings are fine.

Dee

Posted by: obscurity May 25 2006, 11:38 AM

Well the polling seems to have trailed off but Andretti Speed zone appears to be the place so we'll say:

Place: http://andrettikarting.com/
11000 Alpharetta Highway
Roswell, Georgia 30076
Time: Sunday, June 4 at approx 7:00 (they are open til 10:00on Sunday)

I look forward to meeting a lot of 914 people! Bring your cars if you can. Unfortunately mine has the display rack installed so it won't be there but hopfully it will be on the road soon

Posted by: blitZ May 25 2006, 02:05 PM

Cool, I'll bring my camera to document this suspicious auspicious occasion.

Posted by: D1A3 May 25 2006, 07:55 PM

I'll be Bahn storming in Bavaria next week, but I "luckily" return on Satruday the 3rd. So, count me in for Sunday at Andretti! I live in Roswell, so location could not be better!

Looking forward to it! Watch out for the '76 Silver 2.0!!!!!
