Anybody interested in getting together again this summer in June.
I sold my car to Mike Z but would still like to have another get together. It was a good time.
I still have a 914 in the garage just not mine.
We had over 20 people last year and about 15 Porsches lets get the same or bigger turnout.
We also had Cousins Subs and GPR step and offer food and part discounts, maybe I can get some more stuff rolling this year.
Lets also get a little swap meet going, I have lots of parts still laying around in the garage and back shed.
Anybody interested in doing this again?? I got the place, food and the curvie roads.

I will have parts for swap meet also.

Hey Brian

Sounds like a lot of fun. Last year was a good turnout. We will do out best to make it.

Posted by: GeorgeRud Jan 27 2007, 11:20 PM

We'll be out of town on the weekend of June 23,24, but any other weekend would be great for us.

Posted by: 736conver Jan 27 2007, 11:22 PM

No promises but I'll try. Keep us up on progress as plans come together.

Posted by: lotus_65 Jan 28 2007, 08:23 AM

In the town of Mukwonago, SE Wisconsin. It 20 minutes south from Milwaukee and about 2 hours north from Chicago.

Posted by: BigDBass Jan 28 2007, 11:33 AM

I hope to be there again.

Couldn't make it last year, but I'll try this year. Actually, Ellen and I were just up in Big Bend today (in the Volvo) at Waynz World. My son the volleyball player forgot his shoes...

If you guys don't mind a "Former Cheesehead" coming up, I'll talk to the wife.
She's always looking for a reason to get back to WI to visit her folks in Fond du Lac. We take Hwy 43 north thru Milwaukee so this would be right on our way.

Oh yeah, glad to hear Farve is still in the game.

Posted by: sk8kat1 Feb 6 2007, 10:58 AM

I couldn't make it last year I had issues with my engine and the (ex) wife . I will try to come out this year I have a new engine and no wife so I should be all set to come on out

Posted by: rigglet Feb 6 2007, 01:08 PM

I would love to try and make it up. Not sure my teener will make it, but hopefully the wife and I can get there. Would be great to meet some of the other 914 people.

Posted by: BarberDave Feb 6 2007, 03:37 PM

Nothing new just thought I would

Posted by: sean_v8_914 Mar 1 2007, 03:40 PM

I'll bring the cheese curds.
should I bring the 914/4? V8? or perhaps the tail dragger if it does not sell in SD

Posted by: BigDBass Mar 1 2007, 03:45 PM

Hmm... Yes on all counts. So bring friends too to drive!

Posted by: sean_v8_914 Mar 1 2007, 05:11 PM

OK Dan. you take the train up to my pad the night before and Ill let you drive one down.
PS. dont tell Jackie about the rail car

Posted by: ChrisPaegelow Mar 1 2007, 05:18 PM

I don't have a 914 yet but I'd love to come and see yous guys's
So count me in!

Posted by: greybeard50 Mar 2 2007, 01:30 PM

Would a 912E be welcome? If so, I'm in!

Posted by: BigDBass Mar 2 2007, 01:49 PM

Ok! dibs on the trail dragger! ChrisPaegelow can use the /4, and you drive the v8! Another logistics problem solved.
Er, that means Jackie has to drive my '74 2.0 up in the Indiana/Chicago caravan. New logistical problem!

We had several non-914 Porsches last year, including 356, 911, 912, and 944. And one muscular specimen of domestic iron.

Posted by: 736conver Mar 2 2007, 02:06 PM

Only if it parks across the street.

JK

Everybody is welcomed.

ANd as I mentioned before bring parts for a mini-swap meet.

Posted by: 736conver Apr 27 2007, 07:41 PM

Bump to remind everyone

Posted by: wbergtho Apr 27 2007, 07:51 PM

I think I should be able to make it if my radiator gets back in time? Had fun last year!

Bill

Posted by: BigDBass May 23 2007, 11:25 AM

I'm still expecting to be there.
My car is not running yet this season. I've been trying since February to get it to Brad Mayeur in Peoria. Was hoping to use it for our Memorial Day camping trip to Governor Dodge park in WI but no luck. I'm praying I will have it sorted out in time for this gathering!

Dan

Posted by: Bartlett 914 May 23 2007, 09:34 PM

Not running? How is that possible? What is wrong?

Posted by: Garold Shaffer May 23 2007, 10:17 PM

I also have a trailer if needed to get it to Brad. Let me know

Posted by: GeorgeRud May 23 2007, 11:20 PM

How about another bump to remind people that the date is set for the 30th of June.
Sounds like a great time.

Posted by: BigDBass May 24 2007, 12:15 AM

It's a 914!


I never got the backfiring/power loss/idle issues sorted out that popped up at the end of last summer. Before he moved back to Cali, Chris helped me set the dwell and timing, but it didn't last. I need a valve adjustment as well prior to the ignition stuff, and need to install my SS heat exchangers and Bursch. I figured to have Brad give it a thorough look but he hasn't been towards Chicago in awhile and I haven't been able to get it to him. These days (Maddie's great!) I just don't have the time or will to try to stumble through this stuff myself. I might try to limp it to the local bug shop just to get it in shape to drive to ~halfway to Brad but I didn't really have a good vibe about the place when they did my rear brake lines.

Posted by: smontanaro May 24 2007, 05:22 AM

Dan,

At this point I'm still planning to go. You can ride with me (though I need to fix a leak from the transmission - prolly the usual speedo o-ring thing). I'm up in Evanston.

Posted by: Bartlett 914 May 24 2007, 01:21 PM

Sorry to hear about the troubles. Valve adjustments are bad enough but heat exchangers even worse. I wish we were closer. I could give you a hand. If you want to drag it to South Elgin, maybe we could spend a day on it.

Posted by: wbergtho Jun 2 2007, 02:28 AM

I'll try to get there!

Posted by: BigDBass Jun 3 2007, 10:01 PM

I handed my 914 over to Brad Mayeur this morning. That's the first crucial step in having my FIB car up there in the land of cheese!
