This should be a great event. I could not make it on the 18th, but did go to meet Jonathan and Mark last weekend. 4 hours from my house in San Ramon (Norcal - East bay) and the same coming back. You south bay guys can make it in a little more than 3 hrs.

Jonathan gave me a personal tour of their shop and a superb deal on some 914 parts. He is loaded wwith parts and very generous in his pricing. For anyone that can go and is only thinking about it, be assured it will be well worth your time. You only have yourself to blame if you don't leave there with more than you came. The food will be a big plus!


Jeff, so what stuff did you come away with? I bet you got all the stuff I wanted. sad.gif

Sorry I couldn't make it last Sat, but they got food this weekend! I'll be there! biggrin.gif


Jeff got a whole lotta copper. beer.gif

I don't have internet at the new house yet, so I have to post from here at work. sad.gif

I thought about taking everyone to Jocko's, but probably wouldn't be able to get us in as a large group. dry.gif What about Klondike's Pizza? McKlintock's in Pismo? I'd like to think of something unique to our area, not necessarily a steak place, and not a fast-food place.

We could do something on Friday AND on Saturday. drunk.gif


I have been thinking about Klondikes Pizza since Mark mentioned it earlier. That is where I am going at 7pm.

Jonathan, do they have Moose meat pizza? biggrin.gif

If we make it up to SM in time after a check in at Jaluma Beach, we may swing by the shop, otherwise we may just stay tonite & eat at the campsite......or maybe not?

My son Michael has never seen my 73 2L running - i.e.: he's never rode in one, let alone driven one - so he's a "914 virgin" - so this should be interesting for him & a last hurrah before he goes off to Army Basic in January! biggrin.gif

He's help to push mine & the red racer shell in & out of the garage with me plenty of times though over the past year! lol-2.gif

Jonathan - we got a late start yesterday & were too late for pizza. Holed up at the Rodeway on Broadway & will be over in a while, so save that Beige backpad for me! smile.gif

Cap'n - Michael was able to come up, so we're good for the Jetta but won't be heading south until Monday (or maybe Tuesday if we play hookie one more day). driving.gif driving.gif

Cap'n Krusty
There weren't all that many folks here today, so we pigged on grilled stuff and talked about the rest of you. Slits, Elyut, and I are old enough to do that, and boy, are we grumpy! If your ears aren't burning, they should be ........................... Remember, snoozers are losers! Still a lot of good, and not so good, used stuff. I'm gone all next week, but anyone wanting to make the trip up (or down, or over) here in 2 weeks can pretty much steal any 914 stuff left.

Load up the RV and trailer and vacation to Chicago. We will buy some beerchug.gif

How come you Calf guy never come out here to have sales? poke.gif
Cap'n Krusty
I'm sorry, I never even THOUGHT of driving 2000 miles, each way, towing a rental trailer, to deliver your FREE stuff! I'm a really selfish guy, I guess .................... Maybe Slits'll do it? Or maybe not.

There, just a lil' touch of krustiness. It's all I had left over after talking about you all afternoon (in the 70 degree dry weather, with just a light breeze ......................).

It was great seeing everyone today. Some old friends, and some for the first time. It was great getting the chance to associate more real people with familiar screen names!

Got some cool stuff, and the BBQ was fantastic!

Big Thanks to Jonathan & Mark!!

Well, I am sorry I could not be there or RRC, or WCC hissyfit.gif

I think our headqtrs is moving to SD from Chicago, but I won't be asked to move, and without a package not likely I will move.

Always sounds like a great group beerchug.gif

Hope our paths cross someday

Yes, I made the trek down even knowing that Greg (race914) was going to be there. poke.gif At least he brought his lovely wife, Tricia, and her beautiful 914-6. It was great meeting everyone especially Jonathan and Mark. I made off with some suspension parts an engine case and various other good stuff. Jonathan and Mark gave out some raffle prizes and I won 4 qts of Brad Penn oil, a filter and some valve cover gaskets enough to do a complete oil change!!!

It was great being around 914 people for a change. From now on GPR will be my first call when I need parts.


OBTW, Jonathan, on the way home I remembered I need a a rear oil seal for my new engine build. I'll email you.

Thanks for the great deals and fantastic BBQ.

You guys that didn't make it sure missed out.
hwgunner
Well, it is all over and I would say that it was a big success. Great to meet new people and see see some old friends. Want to thank all the guys that made the trek from the north and the south and the locals. I must also thank Jim and Mike from IMC. Thanks for comming up.

Mark, thank you also. I never would have made it this far without your help.

And last I want to thank my wife, who will never read this but still deserves a big thank you. No one would have had anything to eat if it weren't for her. So, Thank You Jeannie!!!!!!!! beerchug.gif

Thanks again for the great bbq and sale on parts.

Like borderline, i made off with some great parts at great prices!

I have some picture and will post them later.

Great meeting some more people from 914world and placing a face with the names.

agree.gif with all the feedback so far! smile.gif

Being relatively new to the group here (not new to 914s), it was nice to put faces to the screen names & get to know you all a bit more!

I also scored some great deals & porked-out on some great eatz! You snoozers REALLY were the losers.

Greg - we did get in at the Oceana county RV campground on the inland side of 1 tonight, then we'll try Jaluma Beach tomorrow night. Thanx for the tips!

Jonathan, Mark & Cap'n we'll see y'all Monday to pick up the parts & shuttle the Jetta to SM, & big Thanx to you all & Jonathan's wife for the food, advice & parts deals!!!! smile.gif

Cheers All! beerchug.gif

Sounds like a it was a great event. If only I had the time to make the 13 hours drive down sad.gif . I actually wish I could have. Bit to much going on with work to swing it though. Plus I don't need any parts. I'm sure I would find some I just had to have. So better to stay away evilgrin.gif
SLITS
Food was great ... Jonathan & Mark were cutting deals ... a few showed up and we lied about everything. The Cap'N was a real butthead biggrin.gif , so we got along.

I made it back without blowing tires on the overloaded pickup. Have I mentioned how hard it is to find a fuchin' gas station in The Land of The Rich & Famous (Santa Barbara)? Guess the tree huggers find them unsightly and hide them.

I really want the set of B&B .... arrrrrrrrrrgh .... need money!! (And I forgot to ask about the carb setup ... I need new fishing weights).

Oh, Jonathan ... if the MFI setup comes up missing .... I had nothing to do with it!! blink.gif

Build that ass-stompin 6!

Long day .. 18 hours .. Thanks for the conversation(s) and the fun!

Thanks Jonathan and Mark, the Santa Maria Bar-B-que was terrific and worth the drive. There are so many parts there, you could do a lot of restoration for very fair $$
