Took a break for a while but I'll ready to get back on the project in my new garage after the move. I am relocating with Toyota to San Antonio and would like to make some contacts with any of you guys in this area. Please email me and maybe we can get together.

Hi Ted!



Are you going to work for the new truck plant??

I know we have several members down there in the Houston/San Antonio area.

I miss going down the river between San Antonio and Austin.

Yes I will be working in the paint shop as part of management. I am transfering after 18 1/2 years at the Kentucky plant.

Hi Ted,

I live in San Antonio and there are a small number of us around. I've been thinking we should have a 914 breakfast at least once in a while. Hope to hear from you.

Hi there,
I am in Boerne just north of San Antonio. A 30 minute drive from downtown. Thomas is right, we need a San Antonio breakfast. See you soon.

So far so good. The people seem really nice. Nice looking rabbit!

Can one of you put together a San Antonio "breakfast"??

I'll push it like no tomorrow and get some coverage for you. I would like to see the South Texas group gain some exposure. We could even have DaveD nail it in the Pelican 914 area.

Even if you have just 3 cars show up.. hold one every two months or something??

Thomas?

Put me down for a breakfast! 2 1/2 hours is a piece of cake in a 914!

Jeff

Sure, I can host it if you want. We can do breakfast tacos in my driveway and I can show off my new paint job, or we can meet at a restuarant. What's best?

Posted by: jd66921 Dec 5 2006, 01:29 PM

I'm up for anything! I can leave at 6:30 and be there at 9:14! I'm coming from
the Corpus Christi area. Just give me a place, a time, and three hours notice! Try
to pick a warmish day though? My heat is typical 914, nonexistent!

Your house is fine as long as you dont mind "misfits" hanging out..LOL

Run it past the wifey...

Ted,

can you give them a date/time that you are coming down? Maybe the weekend after he arrives??

Do you have a dinner place or "breakfast" place that people like to visit?


I know of one place in an old white building just east of downtown that serves pancakes or something that is POPULAR. BIG parking lots all around it.

I used to meet people on the Riverwalk at "Dicks" last resort.

All is good for me. I am in town now home shopping. Agreed on a price today on a house and the best part is that it has a detached garage. Let me know the time and place and I am there.

My sister is a realtor down there and a long time SA ...Liver, what's the word I'm looking for, Occupant?
She loves the place and so do I.

What about some time after the Christmas holidays, in January?

Posted by: Eddie Williams Dec 5 2006, 09:58 PM

p.s. I drive a Tundra.

Posted by: Ted914/6 Dec 6 2006, 10:27 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome. Anytime after the New Year sounds good to me. The movers should be here with everything the last week of December. My car should arrive some time that week too. Sorry I can't post pictures. I holed up in this hotel with a new laptop and the pics are on my home computer. Look forward to running with you guys.

I spent some time in San Antonio back in '76 when I was in the Air Force. Really nice along the river walk area from what I remember.

Hey Jeff, I go down to Corpus about once a year, it's not too far from San Antonio (although I wouldn't want to risk the journey in a 914, unless it was in tip-top shape). I remember going down there a few years ago and at Port Aransas there was someone who lived close to the beach who had a couple of 914s. That wasn't you was it?

Thomas

Ted came over Thursday and spent a couple of hours in the garage with me. Nice guy. A Saturday breakfast after the 1st of the year is good for me.

Posted by: jd66921 Dec 8 2006, 08:08 PM

No, wasn't me. I've only lived here for 4 years. I just bought my new car in May.
I had a '72 back in '72 though.

By the way, what's with this tip top shape stuff? I've driven from LA, and round
trips to/from Moab, Ut, and Fort Smith , AR this year! 7000 miles, I reckon.
I've been trying to find some 914's around here, but no luck yet. Lot of people
around who remember them fondly though!

Let me know if you are coming down again. It get kinda lonely here by myself!
I'm actually in Rockport, but the "big city" is the best reference point.

Lets just say I've had some "bad experiences" commuting.

I'll be headed to CC for work this week.
