How about an update on how many 914s are registered and paid??

I will see what I can find out for you George, probably real close to the magic number now. Better get that 916 all cleaned up, people are really looking forward to seeing it.

for those of you that have NOT seen the 916, here it is at Charlotte Parade

Note in pic 2 that Huey was just across the street from it...(also note all the 914's)

That is an AWESOME photo! Can't wait to see you at the Tail!

Yeah, since Bill Dunster was in charge of the Corral (a 914 owner - that's his 6th down on the left - yellow stock nose), and I was helping him park cars, I decided who got front row parking. To me, it was kind of obvious. This was also Huey's first time in public after the Targa wreck.

40 paid 914s means door prizes, 916, steves m-471, me there to sign autographed copies of the tech tips 700 book, participation in the tech session, maybe a few more special 914s (to be announced!) and maybe I will even spring for some drinks!!!

AS AN ADDED BONUS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HATE ME, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ABUSE ME IN PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much to lose to not make the 40 PAID 914s. PLUS what a photo shoot it will make and what a gathering of 914s not seen in recent history.

Damn, I just found the envelope with my registration check in it sitting under a pile of stuff on my desk!

It will be in the mail tomorrow.

So........ how cool would it be to have an AERIAL photo of all those 914s on the Tail? I have a pilot lined up for Friday and Saturday, so we'll figure out the logistics closer to the event, and see how the weather is going to shake out. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just spoke with the hotel and over half of our rooms are gone. Had 3 more sign up today so if you haven't booked your room yet you may want to do so before they are gone.

Wow, aerial shots would be great!!!

By my count, there are 36 914s so far. Almost to the magic count of 40!!!

WOW!!!!!!

Now that would/will be sweet......

For you Mary

Hmmm, should I see about getting a dunk tank set up for the George haters?

OK. It's be kind to George month. A year ago I'd been in line for the dunk tank but it looks like he's trying to make amends. Thanks George for stepping up.

Personally, I have never had any issues with AA and especially George. Admittedly, I have not purchased much except for a few sheet metal parts when we rebuilt Huey, but all has always been good.

As a former automotive business owner - specifically Porsche business - I completely understand some of the things George goes through. He has a love for a particular car. But, he is a businessman. He offers a service to his customers, but he needs to make money doing it. Some people seem to forget that the businesses we buy things from are businesses...not some side hobby that is just for our benefit.

Do things get screwed up? Absolutely. That's business. But in the end, George usually has that hard to find part you need. Will it cost you? Sure...Supply and demand.

and no, don't start going on about this experience or that experience....not on this thread....this is not the time or place.

George has put a challenge to the 914 community and has promised riches and rewards for all of us (that actually send our registration in ) Lets all make it happen!

I want to register the 40th 914 so I can be the hero. Wife campaign continues. (My mom seems to have the impression that she's coming along if I make it since her Uncle Fred lives in Vonore.)

DanDanDan do you have the troubles. Everyone wants to go on your vacation as long as they get all the fun. Sounds just like my family.

I was looking for the new thread. John & I are in a room in TN. If you start a new thread we can get a real count and see what's available in Memphis. Or tell me to do it and I will if you're overloaded.

Got my room. I too had left my envelope under some other papers but it went out thursday.

If I put a set of L.E. stripes and a 2.0 sticker on the back of the 944 would it count as a 914 ???

914 count Clay, Steve, anyone?

OK.. I am FINALLY done with this deployment at work. 6 weeks of work without a day off, and 84 and 88 hour weeks are over! And I have been told that I can take a couple of extra days off to make up for the lost weekends. So it is going to be easier to get there for me.

Hopefully, the Alien will make it, and I know that Mike Floyd said he was coming.

So we need 5 or 6 more 914's.. C'mon.. let's get the good DR to actually bring the 916!!!

Welcome back Clay!

Now I have car stuff to do instead of work......

30 Day Bump

Get registered today

Okay people, we really need to get another 5 or 6 teeners registered. Talked to George today and it will be well worth it for us to have 40 registered teeners. I can not, or will not, divulge the reasons but take my word for it, it will be well worth the effort. Other things in the works too that I will reveal when I get it finalized.


Thanks,
Shoe

Everyone email their PCA region officer to get out an email blast to members.

Hmm, I'll email the Chicago region PCA but wish it had come up earlier.



Probably a long shot here, but is there anyone coming up from Florida passing through St. Petersburg area that may have an extra passenger seat to/from MUSR? (Would save me round-trip airfare from Tampa to Chicago for a friend )

Just a freindly BUMP. Come on people sign up

Ok. Operators are standing by. Call in the next 15 minutes to get your order shipped out postage free - just pay additional shipping and handling - and we'll also throw in 2 extra knives, guaranteed to filet a fish, tomato, and your neighbors (insert your words here). One easy payment to Clay.

Wife approval: Check
Boss approval: Check

Ok, looks like I'm in!

I will contact the hotel in the morning and register for MUSR.

Registration question: My "secondary registrant" is still undecided as we're trying to figure out his schedule/logistics to come from St. Petersburg FL. Would the organizers prefer that I add secondary when I register, or add him later when he confirms? If I must, I can consider forfeited registration fee upon cancellation as a donation to the event, so I'm not overly concerned there. (Not that I'm eager to throw the $ away!!)

Anyway, woohoo! Looks like I'll see you there. (Oh, and might need to attempt to recruit to Chicago 914ers to help me prep!)

There is no need to forfeit money. As long as I know in time before I finalize the banquet dinner and such. We will make do. I am just glad you are coming down. Now grab some more people from your area and make them convoy with you.

Registered and reserved room!

One 914 closer to the target!

Rooms are getting booked but some are still available! So get off the fence and sign up!

Woohoo!

Is this event still four weeks away? It seems like foreverrrr...

At the time I registered my wife was unable to go, but now she can get the time off. How do I add her?

Wished I had her car done so she could drive it.

My guess would be to complete registration on website, put car model as "None" and note her "association" with you in the comments section, then mail the check for payment to Clay.

Oh, and then get her car done to get the 914 count towards 40!!!

Rick
Ok, I held up my end of the bargain, Huey is going to be there, now we expect to see Alien there too!

The Alien had some serious trouble on the way to RRC near Lincoln. Believe it had to be towed back North?

Don't be alarmed if there is an influx of more participants. We are doing a mass mailing today with the MUSR link. We want this to be the best 914 event EVER!

Anyone coming up from Florida Tampa area who can help Steve Gaglione get his M-471 up this way??

How about a revised 9/17 count of how many paid 914 cars are showing up??? 40 is the magic number.

door prize suggestions!


I hate it when attending an event and winning a door prize that it is just a sappy thing that no one wants. I feel for the companies who had spent good money on the prize only to have it passed on or thrown away. We do not want this to happen this time. Hence I am taking suggestions for door prizes from all PAID participants of what they would like to see in door prizes. The sky's the limit, but of course I will not guarantee that I can or will provide them, and NONE of the cars in my collection are available!!!!

I'd be happy to fly down to TPA and drive it up to MUSR for him!

This is just one of the incentives to get more people to attend (and a very good one indeed). I am really looking forward to attending and want to remind everyone that this will be the perfect time of the year weather wise, and the roads and scenery are outstanding. Please, if at all possible try to bring your 914 and join the fun. It really is true... The More the Merrier!

okay, you asked so here goes:

GT flares & rockers
complete clutch kit
replacement carpet
various replacement metal
clutch & accelerator cables
euro tail lenses
bumper tops
turbo tie rods
swaybars & drop links
assorted brake parts
new set of Konis
car cover
front euro lenses
shirts

Shall I keep going or wait til the paramedics get your heart going again?

4 lug Fuchs even used and drivable

Interior parts...carpet dash covers window cranks etc
side graphics
money certificates
hats jackets golf shirts

Oooo, I like the idea of clutch and throttle cables. How about some 914/6 stuff? (like a throttle cable )
tail light lenses?

Though honestly you may be better off with gift certificates. That way they can be used for anything people want/need. Then, as we all do, we end up spending much more than the gift certificate...more of a 'well, while I'm shopping for X, lets get Y and Z too!" Happens all the time...

yup excellent idea. Thank you.

Great Idea Bob!!!

and George can carry a LOT of them....in a 916

Yeah, but I REALLY need some new euro lenses for the front of the Bee since one has a hole it it.

How about bringing some parts (flairs,lenses,cables, etc) and SELL them at a event special discount price.


Bob

Cuz that leaves less room for free stuff!!
