Looks like the BBQ was a big hit. A bunch of very nice cars parked there. I hate to say I would have really felt out of place with mine still up on jackstands. I gotta get my butt into the garage and get to work.

I love all the photos, but I have to try to remember to take photos of the owners along with their cars!

Of course, I thought of this today after the event.

Looks like you guys had a great time. I'm kinda glad Christine wasn't operable as she would have looked so bad amongst all of those nice looking cars. Would be nice to see all of those cars at MUSR this year. Great photos.

Thanks so much for your hospitality, Garold and Julie!
And thank Nathan for me as well for keeping Maddie entertained! As we were driving home, she said "I think I made a new friend."

Thank you Garold and Julie for putting on a great gathering of 914's and enthusiasts. The food and 914 conversation were excellent! As most of you know, I spend very little time on the web and I was surprised my name was even mentioned when I checked for information about the event Friday. I'm always happy to share information I've learned and also look forward to learning new things from others. The 914 community has to be one of the best auto fraternities out there. Looking forward to the next event! Brad

It's offical!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) The 4th Annual NorthWest Indiana 914 BBQ will be held on August 27th 2011. So save the day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Its Offical Brad Mayeur of 914 LTD will be attending. Here is a great chance to pick his mind. Brad is a great wealth on knowledge on 914s.

Menu will include, but not limited to:

Burgers, Brats, Dogs, & Chicken
Salads, chips, cake
Soda, Water, Ice tea, and Coffee BYOB if you want anything else.

You don't need a 914 to come. We have plenty of room. I have chairs, but its a good idea to bring your own.

Doors open 10:00am central, that's 11am for eastern time guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

My address:

Garold Shaffer
6852 Prairie Run Ave
Portage In 46368
219-730-6418 (cell)

Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Toll road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).

Directions:
From I94 take Exit 19 (Portage / Port of Indiana) south to 1st stop light (Rt 20). Turn left (east) on RT 20 to first stop light, aprrox 1 mile (sameulson road). Turn Right (south) on Sameulson rd. Go to 2nd stop sign (central ave) and turn left (east) on Central Ave. My subdivison is on the left about 1/8 mile called Prairie Run. Turn in and stay left, we are 5th house on left. You will see my 914(s) in the drive. Don't worry about parking in my drive, all 914s mark their spots and I have cleaner.

I will put out a few signs with 914 & arrows on them once you get to central ave to help direct you on your way.

Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Tool road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).



Please PM me if you plan to attend so I can make sure we have enough food & drinks.

I have my midrise lift so we can do a little tech session again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party.gif)
Looking better by the hour!!!!!! 914 seems to be a go at this time, but I have a backup repro 356 or my 74 TR-6 or my 78 Spitfire or my crappy 09 Honda. Count me in................................ Bob

Will you be swinging by Lafayette on the way there?
Kid, u get home ok? Bob

I'm not sure if this is for me or not, but the rest of my drive was VERY smooth. 250 miles on half a tank. Gotta love the change in fuel economy going from dual carbs to FI!!

Mileage with carbs was 34-36 according to the odometer, but I was running non-stock tires. I think that's off by 80% or so, so 27-28.5 or so.

In the new car my tach was holding just over 3200 I think.
