I will have to miss this , won't make my staff work the weekend if I'm not willing to work also. Bummed, yet I'll feed the crew to keep them going over the weekend.

I always look forward to this event. This year work has been crazy. I am stuck on a job that will keep me out of this one. I hope you all have a great time

Only one more day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Weather report is calling for liquid sunshine in the morning hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stick.gif) then overcast the rest of the day. I have towels to help dry wet cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Don't let the weather stop you from coming out. Bring a picture of your car if you don't want to drive in the weather. The garage is dry and I have plenty of parts cars (5) we can look at. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Always wanted to make it to this, and never have, looks like this may be the year! I'll have the water cooled japanese flat 4, due to the fact that the air cooled flat 4 is in my garage with no car to put it in (although, I could put it in the back of the wagon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ) Nevertheless, I was hoping to bring a friend of the family - who recently switched over from the darkside (literally, lucas electrical systems) of British cars, and went out & got himself a 74 2.0l - but, unfortunately he is on a previously planned vacation.

Looking forward to putting some names & faces together finally!

Anything special you'd like me to bring as a side, or a favorite beverage for the host?

That would be great, thank you.

And Robert hopefully your wife gets to come home today. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Oh, and I will have chairs, but not enough for everyone so if you have room bring a chair.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I have never driven in the rain with my car. I do not have a rain tray and running a small block with a air filter that has an open top. How much rain can I suck into the engine and not have a problem?Attached Image

Hi Gerold - I'd like to come and bring along one of my little kiddos. Are kiddos (5yr old) welcome or is this more of the older crowd? I won't take offense if kiddo's aren't a good fit.

It's been a while since I was regularly involved in the 914's, but I got mine up & running again and am looking forward to catching up.

-Pete

Could you duct tape a piece of cardboard over the top or attach it to the lid in that section? Then just throw it away?

Hey is that a Beck body kit on your car? And BTW Jerry you live like 15 minutes from me! I'm in Plainfield.



Hey George everything OK? Hope it's nothing too serious.

Had the pleasure of having a burst appendix back in January and have been hospitalized and in rehab till last week when I was finally able to get home. Very poor feeling in my legs (due to the lengthy hospitalization), and lost the use of my left arm (cause unknown). I hope to get it's use back, but right now I'm just a passenger and still tire easily. Gotta stay positive!

Pete - yes please bring your son, this is a family event.

George - wishing you a full & speedy recovery. we will miss not having you here.

Jerry - I would think Chris idea would work.

Just wanted to say again you don't need to bring a 914 to come. We all have the sickness so drive whatever you want, just come hang out with other 914 nuts and enjoy some food and fellowship.


See you tomorrow.

Chicago folks, sorry for the late call out due to my wife hospital stay. She's back out, but too weak to enjoy the company. What time are you all heading down? I'm in Mt Prospect. 914 Caravan to Portage?

Garage & canopy are ready, fans are on and it is very muggy. Perfect! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) O'well that's the way it goes.
