Hey all,
This month is my birthday as well as Rick's (2-Oh) and our wives asked us what we wanted to do for our birthdays. Of course we told them a 914 party ! So it's official; Saturday, November 17th at my place in Santa Clarita. (For those of you who don't know where Santa Clarita is we're up by Magic Mountain only across the valley to the east off the 14 fwy).

Here's the plan for the drive;
We will meet around 8:30 and hopefully be moving by 9am.
From the 5 fwy exit “Lake Hughes Rd” go east. We’ll meet along Lake Hughes Rd. about ½ mile down on the right (In front of the boat yard before the hill)...


The drive will end at my house probably around 11ish. We'll be supplying the BBQ, food and drinks. If you're a musician bring your acoustic whatever. I'll have my quiver of instruments available as well so maybe we can get Clayton to show us one of those urban tribal dances he does . I do have a garage, tools and available jackstands if anybody needs to do some minor fixin' (sorry, no lift).

Here's my best guess at who we're expecting. If I missed your name or you are just reading this for the first time please feel free to come on by. There will be plenty of food and fodder.

Oh, and out of respect for the neighborhood, please keep it to 25.

Leaman - Heeltoe914
Daniel dlo914
Aaron
Clayton
Andy S
Allan & company - Headrage
Joe - Kapt. Kaos
Mark - Euro 911
Jim Hoyland
Mike D & some assorted non P-car persons
Rick 2-Oh
Dave B.
Rick - 914rick42
Mark B - Maroooooooon!
Elliot
Jorge - narino
Gary Gartner
Bill - Mr. Bill
Wes V
Carlos


Here's the address for the festivities. If you can't make the drive come on by. The BBQ is going to start around 11ish.

28469 Alder Peak Ave.
Canyon Country, Ca. 91387

...and if you get lost, call me 661-251-7686

Hope to see you here!

Hey Steve,

Do you actually have to have a running 914 to attend? Or perhaps some volunteers to push it up the hill to your house?

Anyone mind if I invite a couple of non-P cars along?

Hey all,
Andy & Allan bring up a couple of good points. You are more than welcome to bring rug rats, family and significant others. The backyard is plenty big and full of adventure for the pre-teens.

Mike; Non-P cars are welcome as long as you supervise and clean up after them.

Hey everybody - Here's just a couple of teaser pics I took today. I did the drive with Rick to make sure everything is open. Meeting time for the drive will probably be around 9am in Castaic. BBQ at my house starting around 11:00ish I'll post directions this week. Hope to see you all there.

Spunky Canyon (my personal favorite)...


and finally Boquet Canyon...

I am on the bubble. If I get my car running tomorrow, there is a chance I will be there Saturday. If not, it's not looking good.

I have soccer in the AM with my kids, and then I can head up. So if the pumpkin is running, I should be there

I was welding in some inner ear re-enforcements when Steve stopped by after his scouting drive. I'll soon post some photos of what I did. Anyway, Steve also delived some good news; a bridge burned out by the fires has been replaced with a steel constuction bridge, and will be open Monday. This will shorten my work commute by 15 minutes; Hurray!

Hi guys,
I am new to this forum. If I show up in a Miata and promise to clean up after it, would that be o.k?
During the drive, will some if not all of you be going fast through the canyons, or just a nice scenic cruise.
I hope to get another 914 soon.
Thanks,
Rick

More is better......

I keep thinking how nice it would be to finally drive a 914 to an event ... but then again, how would I know ... ...

If I bring a timing light and a few tools, can someone take a quick look at my timing for me before we set out on the run.

Also, if someone could bring a carb sync tool, that would be very cool...

Why not just meet at the McDonalds at the off ramp at Lake Hughes Rd.

Plenty of parking and, it will give the old farts (me included) the opportunity to empty their bladders (or Depends if Slits shows) and grab a coffee or something before setting out on the run?

Allan,
I was thinking about making the McD's but then we may never get out of the parking lot. We'd have to re-group anyway before heading up the hill. So, for those of you who need to do the bladder stop there is a McD's on the corner. But, lets still meet on Lake Hughes like planned.

Posted by: Twystd1 Nov 16 2007, 12:36 AM

What time should I be at the house? As I am not in "The Run" portion of the morning.

I will be there to break sumbodys car for sure. I bring tools to da gig.

Posted by: andys Nov 16 2007, 11:01 AM

Steve,

Since you're doing a Mexican menu, perhaps I can bring some Carne Preparada. Got room on the grill? Too bad my wife Paulina can't make the festivities; she knows a little something about Mexican cooking :-)

Andys

Posted by: ahdoman Nov 16 2007, 11:43 AM

Andy & others -
You're welcome to bring anything you would like. I will have enough Carne Asada for all but if anybody has something special we can make room on the grill.

Posted by: gary gartner Nov 16 2007, 12:43 PM

So unless I perform some kind of miracle (waiting for backorder parts from perf prod) I won't make the canyons but I will plan on making the Q--
are either of you B-day boys tequila drinkers???
I will bring a bottle of real good sippin tequila and a bottle of Tequila Rose for the girls, if that is O K with you

Hey all,
Just picked up the carne asada from the local butcher, the grill is prep'd and ready, the neighbors have been warned and the house is ready for the invasion!

BTW - about the only thing we may be short on is chairs. So if you have a foldable one you might bring it.

I am going to try and make it. I have not met mny 914world members yet. 8:30 is a little early for me, if i am late i will just catch you guys in the canyon. I work in santa clarita and my co-worked say the canyons are pretty fun out there. I hope i can motivate myself to wake up that early on a saturday.

Sadly, my day Friday ended with the 914 being towed to the mechanic. Huge fuel delivery problems. Not sure if it is the fuel delivery from the tank or something tangling up the carbs. Fuel pump was replaced about a mile from Performance Products in Van Nuys. Made a difference for a minute and then the car was choked for fuel again. This is what I get for buying and bringing back to life a car that sat for six years.

Nonetheless, I will not be attending tomorrow. Need to provide some repairs to another car this weekend so that I can get to work on Monday.

Hope to join the next ride.
