Posted by: tommy914 Nov 12 2004, 04:27 PM

I'll be there.

Here's my FFC 2005 list:

1. fix all water leaks when it rains

2. Kit Carlson EFI

3. Air conditioner...not that I'll need it to be cooler that weekend, but it will help dehumidify when it rains

You're gonna sell your 914 and get a real car?

Posted by: 9146986 Nov 12 2004, 05:45 PM

Hey, I'm ready this time! But why would you be interested in going into Nap-town with all those crazzzzy drivers running the streets??? They're almost as bad as Hot-lanta!!!!

Posted by: SpecialK Nov 12 2004, 08:09 PM

Careful.....a river runs through the middle of town!

I'm coming prepared next time

Posted by: tommy914 Nov 13 2004, 02:54 PM

Perry,

Could someone please ask Howard what the "track fees" will be for this event?

You can contact Howard here----- http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=Mail&CODE=00&MID=943

I have an Aunt, Auntie Linda and Uncle George who reside in Noblesville, IN (do you know them?)


TIA for contacting Howard to get this "cleared up",

John

AHHH HAHAHAHA!!!

I think Sean is in charge of "track fees" at the FFC.

I live in Noblesville, but I don't think I know Auntie Linda or Uncle George. Its just such a bustling megacenter anymore...haha.

My car stopped running a few days before the MWC, so I have my sights set to join you guys this fall.

Rain ?

And how will I keep my woman passenger warm ?

I have a set of factory HE's that only leak a little but will heat up your car quick! I'd even do an even trade for a nice set of SSI's just for you

Sadly, I have to attend a wedding that weekend in North Carolina. I'll try to take all the bad weather with me so we don't have a repeat of last year's monsoon

Posted by: ArtechnikA Aug 10 2005, 02:04 PM

OK - i see this thread was started a while ago, but somehow i had marked the wrong weekend - one week earlier. Hmmmm. this gives me an additional weekend to get the 911 ready for the trip - but it won't have heat.

YOU BETTER HAVE GOOD WEATHER LINED UP!!!

plan?

i haven't seen a schedule, a mention of a HQ hotel, a list of activities, pricing, or anything else that could be used to form the basis of a plan ...

i've kept a space for this open on my calendar but i am afraid it is going to be overtaken by events...

U wanna caravan down from Lafayette?

Posted by: itsa914 Sep 21 2005, 12:51 PM

we could do that. My wife has to work that Friday so we wouldn't be leaving here until around 5:45 pm. That would put us in Lafayette close to 7pm.

Posted by: tdgray Sep 22 2005, 09:14 AM

I'm going to be a last minute decision.

Car is:

Not painted yet.

Engine has to go back in.

Everything has to be put together.

I'm so screwed

us too. going to depend on where we sit with the house deal, whether the 914.6 sells, and my progress with the 911.

right now, it is looking unlikely for this year...

Posted by: hi ho silber Sep 29 2005, 03:48 PM

Folks,

I've been tasked to be "on-call" that week starting the 22nd.

I'm bummed but hey what can you do? (Service before Self)

Posted by: Doug Leggins Sep 29 2005, 07:53 PM

Matt -It would be great to see you at the FFC!. That car looks much better than the first time that I saw it. -Great work!

Is there a specific time that the event will be starting on Saturday? I am trying to keep my costs down, so I am just going to drive up the day of and need to know wabout when I should leave home. For some reason since I got my 914 my expendable income has been disappearing........



Thanks!

Posted by: Bertus Oct 20 2005, 06:08 AM

Got a couple of questions. I originally responded (on the registration form) that I would not be at Doug's on Friday night. Now there is a chance I may be able to make it. Is it okay to show up? How long will people be meeting at Doug's? I will probably be arriving to town in the 8 to 9 pm range. If I am too late for Doug's, where is "Pub Nite" held at?

Thanks!

Bert

Posted by: seanery Oct 20 2005, 06:48 AM

that's too late for Doug's.

Pub Nite is in Columbus. There is a little bar 1/2 block away from the hotel.
We went there last year it was a fun lil place.
