I dunno, I'm excited about meeting Derek & Hans. hmm, I wonder how they heard about this?

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Jun 11 2004, 01:51 PM

I met them when we were fellow students at the Richard Petty Driving School. I must have mentioned the event to them at the time. I don't remember. Their attendance is "iffy" but they didn't want to miss a chance to save 5 bucks.

Hey,
Vic Elford just IM-ed me. Youre not gonna believe it buts he's gonna be coming to MWC too. Woohooo.

Guess that little 914 ride through the countryside of southeast Michigan just went to HELL.

P.S. I'm gonna need about 4 more event shirts though for the groupies here. So put me down to buy 4 in addition to the registration shirt please.

OK Curvie,

I want to go but my teener still isn't done. I will show up to absorb and collect inspiration to finish my car. I know I said that last year too as I wandered around. I was the guy missing a finger.

Damn thing still hurts.

I don't have paypal. Would you take a check if I send it with plenty of time to clear?

Also, I'm bringing my wifey with the promise of heading up into Michigan and stopping at beds and breakfasts along the way.

Since I've never been to Michigan, would any local residents have suggestions as to nice bed and breakfasts, places to go, things to see?

If anybody wants to go to Alaska or southern Spain, I can return the where to go favor.

Ken

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Jun 12 2004, 10:25 PM

Ken, if you want to send me a check to arrive by the 24th of July OK, but Paypal is free and takes about 3 minutes to set up an account. No reason not to get signed up.
Also. I don't know about B&B's but the Best Western mentioned in the MWC thread is about 50 feet from the event. Looking forward to seeing you there,
Tom.
P.S. PM or e-mail me if you still need to send a check.

I'm working on this as the next event for the Alien 918-S. I'm still behind on my sleep from the WCC road trip and my wallet hurts from the 10 miles per gallon I was getting with the tow vehicle.

One question. Is the registration $ 20.00 per person or per car?

Posted by: skline Jun 13 2004, 11:23 PM

Its worth the $20.00 just for the shirt and mug and goodie bag. I cant make it out there but can I register and get the stuff?

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Jun 14 2004, 04:14 AM

Rich, You realize we are all dying to see the alien!!! The $20 ($15 if you pre-register) gets you the above mentioned stuff. So if you want 2 goodie bags (2 shirts 2 mugs, 2 chances in the raffles, 2 votes for the trophys, etc) then it would be per person. Otherwise it's per car. Likewise (although I never thought about this until you asked) you could attent and not pay at all and enjoy the 914 camraderie and "Fun Run Straight To Hell" for free without getting any of the goodie bag stuff or entering your car in the trophy catagories, or getting to vote etc. There will be a limited number of extra T-shirts (maybe mugs, too) available for purchase at the event also.
skline, if you pre-register, I'd be happy to send you a goodie bag with all the stuff you'd have gotten had you attended.

Posted by: skline Jun 14 2004, 07:57 AM

Payment has been sent. Thanks!!

Posted by: krankendorf Jun 15 2004, 09:12 AM

My 914 wont be ready for an event like this till next spring but I'd still love to see all the cars. I guess lookers and admirers are welcome ,right? Also , will there be a swap meet area with used parts being sold? thanks

Steve from Dayton,Ohio

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Jun 15 2004, 10:15 AM

Everyone is welcomed, encouraged, in fact, to bring your parts to swap. Anyone bringing a factory tool kit to sell - PM me first.
Also, everyone is welcome, 914 or not

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in baby. Wifey gave the green light, truck and trailer lined up, calander freakin' cleared.


Paypal on the way. Do we need to do more than that to register?

I'm just so happy I could cry.

Posted by: trapper Jun 23 2004, 08:16 AM

Okay, count me in!! Looks like we got us a convoy good buddy. 10-4

Posted by: Thomas J Bliznik Jun 23 2004, 08:12 PM

Wow, Trapper is going to attend!!!!! Finally got him to spend $15 dollars.

Rich
If you come to the meet without the Alien my passanger seat is empty. Ride to Hell, MI with me.

Remember all you teener-less 914ers, there will be plenty of empty seats to ride with someone else to Hell.

I'm trying pin the wife down to pay pal the entry fee. She has a cold and went to bed early. (Stay tuned) I have a little work to do. The alternator quit again. >%ckin French crap! (Marchal) And I have a new set of 14" fans to install. But I think it will make the trip.

Oh... and some new damage to repair.... It happened in the driveway...There were tears and sobbing going on and they weren't mine. I hate that stuff. Turns my heart into jelly. Don't ask.... It's not as bad as the offenders rig.

Is "Grassquatch" coming?

Hey, if I show up somewhere Saturday should I register etc? I'll be flying into MI that week previous and I'll be flying out Sunday. I was thinking about stopping by... (no car etc...) what should I do?

I'll bring an unmolested 6 tool kit to look at!

Posted by: Hawk Jun 24 2004, 05:27 PM

Are you kidding? The only 914 happening in the Midwest. Heck I'd register at that price just to save a goodie bag with event shirt, mug etc for myself. When they're gone they're gone. Glad to have you there, and I'm sure there will be a spare seat for you on the Fun Run on the twisties

Posted by: Curvie Roadlover Jun 25 2004, 04:12 AM

Posted by: BS Chairman Jun 26 2004, 04:49 PM

Ok, you bring the tool kit and Hawk and I will compare.

Posted by: ArtechnikA Jun 28 2004, 03:20 PM

okay, i'm looking at attending -- can't say for sure but it's only 600 mi...
can i enter a "rebodied 914.6" (911...) in the "conversion class" ? :-) ...

i'll see if i can't get a sponsorship thing together by August.
don't list me as an official sponsor until i can commit, just thank me after if i can ...

Posted by: Hawk Jun 28 2004, 05:47 PM

Hey, definitely join us. Heck we drove to Hershey in one day and will put the PA trek on our annual calendar.

Come Friday and stay at the Best Western cause the event starts early Saturday morning around 8:30am.
We will be around Friday evening to welcome you and toss back a few cool ones by the lake.

If anyone is planning to go through West Michigan on the way to or from the MWC and needs info on good B&Bs/restaurants/things to do/places to see, let me know and I'll send some recommendations.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll there.

Mike,
The event is about 30 minutes from Metro Airport. The event is only on Saturday but several people are staying at the motel Friday/Saturday night. See you there.

Posted by: Qarl Jul 9 2004, 01:00 PM

I'll be showing up Friday around 2:30 or 3:00.

So if you are there, I will be there too looking for something to do!!!!

Posted by: Gint Jul 10 2004, 08:34 PM

I'm in! Plane/hotel reservations made. My wife and I will be at the airport at 4:00 p.m. Friday.

Posted by: Hawk Jul 10 2004, 08:54 PM

Great news. It sounds like there is a quorum developing and we might all meet at the Best Western site of the event Friday evening and go to a local place for dinner, drinks and p-car chat. What time would work for most to get together Friday evening?

Hey Curvie Roadlover! Check your pay pal

Posted by: jim912928 Jul 12 2004, 07:38 AM

Just registered and made my hotel reservations....now I either really have to buckle down and get this car put back together or drive either the tail dragger or the water-cooler!

Anybody that might be driving via the Indiana toll road (80/90)..to 69...to 94 that might want to hook up at South Bend IN let me know. Might be wise to travel in a pack since I'll just be getting this car put together!

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jul 16 2004, 10:39 AM

1639.79 miles and boy are my arms tired.

I'm officially in. PayPal'd the loot today.

See you all there.
