UPDATE, MRD SoCal gathering and barbeque (how do you spell that?), Saturday, October 27th... Options

[Mugs914]

As you can imagine, things have changed a bit because of the fires, but we're going to go ahead with the grand opening get together this weekend. With things the way they've been this week, I think we could all use a little time with some good friends, good food (well, okay... hot dogs), and general hanging out. Unfortunately most of the roads that we were planning on driving in the morning are currently reserved for fire crews and may still be by Saturday, so it's looking like the morning tour is off. So everyone sleep in a bit and plan on cruising in around ten or so. If some of the interesting roads are open, we'll try to head out in the afternoon. I'll try to keep you guys posted on the road situation.

As the week moves on I'm sure we're going to hear more about those who have been affected by the fires and what kind of needs there are out there. If you'd like we can take donations to go to our members who are in need or for the community in general.

Anyway, you guys wouldn't let a little thing like the worst fires in SoCal history keep you away from a gathering, would you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I hope all of you are doing well, and I hope to see you guys on Saturday...




Well, it's been a long time coming, but I'd like to invite you all to the grand opening of my new shop, Mulligan Racing Development.

As some of you guys know, I've been working on buying an this place for some time now. Well, after all of the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) its finally all done and open for business here in Vista, CA. I bought an existing business (complete with existing customers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) ) so it isn't completely new, but it's new to me.

So now it's time for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) and maybe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rock_band.gif)

I'm hoping you guys will come help celebrate on Saturday, October 27th at our grand opening. (Still working on the band, so no promises there...)

We'll be meeting at the shop around 8:00 am for a run up into the local hills, ending up back at the shop around 11:00 for bench racing, dogs, chips, sodas, some door prizes and general hanging out. If you can't make the run, come for the rest, we'll be there 'till around 3:00 or so.

Please RSVP if you think you want to join us for the morning drive (We wouldn't want to leave without you!). You can drop me an email at Mugsxr4@pacbell.net

Hello Mr Mugs914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Congratulations on your new shop & business. Lots of us don't know you here in fly over land, so tell us about your shop?? What do you do?? Will you service & repair 914's?? From your picture you look like a mean guy, but your probably just a big mushy guy who loves Porsche's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I can relate to going in business. I did it in 1986 with a wife who didn't work & (2) kids in college. Failure is not an option. You will need lots of support from the Kali crowd so good luck.

Tell us more about your shop???

Tom

Thanks guys!

The shop is a racing/sports/specialty car repair and restoration shop. The PO is an Alfa Romeo specialist who does a lot of vintage racing. Of course, it will be more Porsche oriented now, but I like Alfas too so I want to keep them around. I'm going to be moving it toward more of a race shop, doing a lot of race-prep, fabrication, modification etc., but repairs do make up the bulk of the work right now. There are a couple of race cars that I have worked on in the past that would be familiar to some on the list, and they'll be running from the shop now. They should be there for the G.O., so I'll update you on those as soon as I know for sure. And of course my Turbo 914 race car project has a place to live now. It's been a long time since I've done anything to it since I've been busy with other things, but progress should be much quicker now.

Will I work on 914s? OF COURSE! In fact I just finished a minor rust repair on a '74. I really do like older cars best. I'm hoping to get a couple of hot rods in too!

BTW- I'm not a mean guy... Honest... Just ask anybody. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
