suggestions are also welcome. I'm not hosting this thing, just thought I'd get the ball rolling on alternatives.

Jen

it takes me 45 minutes to get to either location. sooo, i voted for the IHOP usual. getting there is my very own personal fun run!

plus, we can always hit the twisties in the hills after we schtuffed ourselves with swedish pancakes.

Andy

Sorry to hear that the Patricks^2 cant do the March Breakfast run.

That should not stop everyone else from putting something together. Wish I could be there, but my daughter has me tied up that morning. If nothing else, meet at the IHOP and drive the twisties after!

There was a 911 group that we were going todo Mines road with...why not chase them up the hill still?

I'll look for the photos and will be back for the April breakfast.

So, for those of us who are new, where is the usual IHOP?

Corner of Lawrence expressway and Stevens Creek, right next to 280. Santa Clara.

I'll dig up a map.

Jenny,
Thank you for trying to salvage my failed event! I owe you one. Need anything laser cut ?

No problem. We'll still make you host a breakfast, you know that, right?

Jen

I vote we do it this weekend instead of next. That way I can come. I vote for a good local diner instead of IHOP - I am working on some recommendations - maybe Stacks in RWC?? I vote TWISTIES!!!! On Sunday morning.

Yum! Stacks has great belgian waffles. Their wait is insane though, and their parking situation is even insanier

Jen

Jenny, I saw your car today.... it needs paint. I've never seen a hot pink 914.

I've always wanted the Barbie Corvette, ever since I was little. (I know, I know, I'm still little.

Jen

I'll run with you guys if you're doing the Mines Rd on 3/27 but I won't make it to breakfast as Santa Clara is pretty far from Benicia. I'll let other 911 owners know too. Will it be on 3/20 or 3/27?

Chris

I drove your car Jenny. Kinda loud with the back window out.

But it was a nice drive top off at 8pm cruisin' to Novato. Nice to be in a 914 again. It's been way too long!

I know what you mean. I had this HUGE shit-eating grin on my face last friday when I drove my car for the first time in months.

Thanks for driving up for me.

Oh, and the back glass... My dad shattered my old one for me. <_< I'll have to see if Brad has any lying around. The silver tub came with ~3 extra back glasses in the rear trunk. Will have to locate them.

Jen

If not you can probably have mine. I don't think I'll be able to get it back in with the cage so I'll have to use plexi.

thanks Jon. Trying to make your car lighter, I see...

Jen

27th ...

it looks like we're split 50/50 on the location/type of event
Andy

3/27 would be better for me.. I'm moving this weekend.


B

Shop, or residence?

Jen

He is moving his residence from Novato to Hayward...if you are interested in helping let me know, Jason Samson and I are leaving the South Bay area at 7:00 a.m. Sat. morning.

-Britain

When will you be back? I may be able to help out. Especially if there's BEER involved!

--DD

Yes, nothing encourages people to be extra careful with your private posessions than free beer.

I could probably help out on Saturday, if you still need people.

I wouldn't be in Novato at 7 or 8am, but....

V8 group plans:

DATE: March 27, Saturday

LOCATION: Milpitas Great Mall northeast corner of the
parking lot, around Media Play and Dave & Busters.
http://www.greatmallbayarea.com/maps.html

TIME - tentative:
11AM - 1:00 Meet, check out cars, and eat at D&B
1:00 - 2:00 Drive twisties to Sunol via Calaveras Rd.
see: http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/CalaverasRd.htm
2:00 - 3:00 Meet at Sunol Coffee house and Cafe 11882 Main Street 925-862-2914
3:00+ Drive to Mines ???http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/LickObservatory.htm

Doesn't look like the NA 914s are going out on 3/27. Would you V8 914s mind having a 911SC tagging along? The rest of the BAR 911s are meeting at 0700 at the corner of hwy 35 and 92. That's too early for me.

96conv,
All are welcome. There's another 911 SC planning to come. People are coming to get ideas how to finish their cars, for motivation, researching a conversion, or just an excuse to drive.

Just to clarify, are we still having breakfast at IHOP in Santa Clara, Saturday, March 27 at 9:14 in the morning? If so, this thread should be pinned to the top of the board. I'll be there if there's a club meeting but I'm a little confused.

Douglas

I'm a bit confused as well. I'm not sure if there's anything planned besides the dave and buster/run. But this thread was just UNpinned this morning after it was deemed unworthy.

Jen

Since we can't seem to reach a consensus, I will make a freaking decision. (A rarity, BTW.)

I'll be at the Santa Clara IHOP at 9:14 AM this Saturday. If anyone else would like to show up, that would be just fine!

--DD

and what color is your 914 again?



sorry Dave, I just could NOT resist.

me too. we need no stinking fun run!

My, My!!! Dave certainly is fired up in making decisions since he had a pleasant encounter with the "Saturn". Have you encountered any more "perfect drivers"? Where is your 914 we keep hearing about?

I will be there in my "other 914"

Steve Hurt

You South Bay guys will do anything to avoid driving to the East Bay!

Damn right we will!! Have you ever been to the... Oh, right... You live over there, don't you?

I was just tired of seeing lots of people saying, "well where are we going to meet?" Nobody was stepping up to the plate, so I did. And most of the local crowd already knows how to get to the Santa Clara IHOP already.

The nice part is, you can still make it up to the East Bay in time for lunch!

Oh, and my 914 is sitting comfortably in the garage. In several spots in the garage, as it's in several pieces, but...

--DD

WOW! OMG! I may actually make this one, since I pretty much live down the street! . I'll try my best!

Dont worry Anthony... very soon we will have a IHOP breakfast in Newark off of 84 and Ardenwood for the east bay people (like me)


B

Arg, little confused now. where is the meet going to be? I should have read the posts slower.

That is actually a really good location. It's central to more people and it might be a bigger restaurant. Then afterwards we can all go jump in Brad's pool.

Anyone else going to the V8 thing? I might stop by. I'm not sure, I am probably going to have a busy weekend. But a friend of mine is insisting that I go and take pictures.

I might try to make both. I'm leaning more towards the IHOP deal because it's closer, and there's gonna be more familliar people. But a friend who's staying the weekend with us is attending the conversion thing in Milpitas, so I may end up there anyway. 914 overkill much??

Jen

Oh great. So Dave says he's showing up and magically the IHOP thing is on again for Saturday the 27th. Man. Now I know who really runs the Club.

But Dave, if you can't drive your car you, at least, have to bring something 914 related. How about you bring your flywheel?

Cool.

Douglas

Yeah bring it and give it to me. I might need a flywheel soon.

Need to check out the one I've got, but it's rusty as heck.

Didn't you get the memo yet? It really is all about me... Everything is--the universe, all of it.

--DD

no, actually, that would be 42!

nerd.

I'll bring a fresh terry towel

Alright... So tomorrow, I'll see Andy, Dave, Doug, possibly Brad, and Jon (with a fresh terry towel)

Jen

I'll try to make it too - depends on how much sleep I get tonight.

If I drive my Turbo can I arrive at 930?

Sure but you'll have to order from the taildragger menu (trust me, you don't want to order from the taildragger menu).
