For more than three years now, the locals in Sacramento and other hardcore teener guys from out of town as far away as Oregon have gotten together once a month to munch on a donut and chat about our beloved 914's. Last week I was handed the keys to our new home in Reno and by month's end, Nicho will be starting school...

Let's get together for one last time! August 27th, 9am to noonish. Family Donuts and Deli - 9045 Fair Oaks Blvd at the corner of San Juan Avenue and Fair Oaks Blvd.

Hey Rob, I'll come see you one last time. John

I'll try to make it too!

Hey, how about creating a bi-annual Sacramento to Reno run up 50 through
south shore and down into Reno...that would be a good two-day thing over a
weekend...
If I were out there, I would enjoy it.

I will probably have a Reno Porsche Family Reunion but as far as I know, it would only be me Z, and Rand... I am thinking of organizing an annual Targa Tahoe Event that will be a drink in the parking lot thing on Saturday, and drive through the Sierras on Sunday. That would be through the Sierra-Nevada Region PCA though.

Thanks for coming guys. I hope someone picks up the banner and keeps it going... I would come over when I could.

Funny, going to Reno my Tahoe took 3/4 tank of gas climbing that 7200ft and descending 2700 into Reno. On the way back, it is of course a 2700ft climb into Donner Pass followed by a 4500ft descent. My gas gauge barely budged off of full!

...back when, I blew a fiber timing gear somewhere west of Truckee on 80.
Four friends and I coasted in my car all the way down to just East of Roseville.
One of the climbs was almost the same height as the previous descent, that we
had to all get out and run beside the car, pushing it about 50 yards over the
crest, and then hoping in and coasting the rest of the way without stopping.

Come on out and get your donut on This is it! Even if someone else steps up to organize, I doubt it will ever be monthly again. I hope to see all of you at the Last Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion!

I'll try to make it aswell, its my brothers birthday, but I'm sure I can stop by for a few on my way out.

I think a annual tahoe run would be great... that area is so nice and its fun to drive a 914 through...

I'll be there...got a full day the 27th but most of it is in the afternoon.

I have to work. Guess i'm going to miss the last one. Thanks for hosting Rob. It was fun.

I should be able to make it, hopefully this won't die away would be a shame to see three years of gatherings come to an end.

Jeff

Ya! What Jeff said!

OK, Time for a BAy Area caravan to the reunion. San Ramon to Antioch, up the 160 river hwy to the donut shop. Who's in? Lennie, John, Andy, Jeff, Marty, Matt, Dennis, Dave, anyone???

OK sound off! Let's make this reunion go out in style...

Who's going???

Mike, I'm in for the caravan, what time? meet at Mc Donald's parking lot just before the bridge at Hwy 4. John

7-7:30am sound good?

You guys try not to throw up road shittage on John's car. I suspect that thing could be COTM material one day if it doesn't keep getting abused...

Had a thought, I know it's short notice, but why not make this reunion even more special and send Rob off to his new job and home in style. I'm willing to open my house for a BBQ if anyones interested, I'll even donate everything for hamburgers.
We live in the country,(near Wilton, just so. of sacramento) have plenty of room, even a pool and spa for the kids (or adults).

Just a thought, let me know if there's an interest


Jeff

I am going to try to go where ever we have this. Very nice of Jeff to offer up his house BTW.

I am going to be driving my Prius.....no laughing please. Anyone want a ride from the San Ramon/Danville/Alamo area?

Michael

I think a BBQ is a great idea but do I have to give up the doughnuts?

Jim

Maybe start off at the donut shop then caravan to Jeff's house??

Don't know if there are many good driving roads between the two but who knows

No great driving roads that I know of but I'm likely to be driving my truck so a good chunk of freeway works for me. Not that I'll find any good freeway in Sac.

Jim

I'm down with that.

Rob, are you really moving?

That's a great idea Jeff! I think we could start out at the donut shop and take the backroads - Sunrise out there to make it interesting...

Mind if I bring the Z Car Guys?

Yup. I have had an address there since the second of August and I will be changing my driver license on Wednesday...

Just ride with me Jim... It's your engine anyway!

Well I guess its time. I'll supply everything for burgers. If everyone wants to bring something to go with that (or something else to throw on if you don't like burgers) and what you like to drink. There will be some beer, soda, water here.

Just need a head count to have enough food. I'm working out of town this week, so my posting will be limited until the weekend, iphone can only do so much.

Oh, and there are no "good" roads between there and here just long straight country roads.

And Rob Its your party bring anyone you want.


Jeff

I'll be bringing my wife. I'll bring some food too.

Love the Reno Rob. Any town with a pawn shop on one side of the street and a casino on the other is a good town. You and Rico will have a good time, and its not really that far from the Bay Area.

The Chevy dealer in town is a good guy too.

I have been working over here for two months. Weird staying in this big new house with like 3000sf and only a queen size bed and two camping chairs. One morning I had a wild horse nibbling on the lawn! There were 4 or 5 more on the other peoples lawns. Neighbor said it is rare for them to come into the street area but not at all uncommon to see them.

Glad the Chevy dealer is a good guy. I just got a Tahoe.

This was a first for the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion... Last month's event saw a car towed off for the first time. Turned out to be a bad coil and it was running five minutes after he got it home and on the ground.

None of that this month please

Damn it Rob! That is the weekend of the "Goodguys" show in Pleasanton. I bought a new toy and was looking forward to spending a bunch of money there on parts.



See ya Saturday.

Glad you've got your priorities straight Lennie!

You can go Friday or Sunday to Pleasanton

Oh yea... Rob, you owe me a donut

Suppose I ought to give you back your fender roller too? Or do you just want a donut for it?

Hey Mike , we'll see you at McDonals at 7:15 to 7:30 and Jeff I'll bring a couple of bags of chips and dip sounds like a fun day, jeff are you bringing a map to your pace or are we caravanning to your place. John

We will donut shop it from 9am to 11am and then caravan to Jeff's...

I'll pm Rob my address so he can pick a route from the donut shop. If anyone's not going to make the donut shop to caravan, you can pm either Rob or myself for the address.


Jeff

Less than a week to go!!!! Weather forcast this morning said 96 for saturday.
Bring your suits, our pool is 18' X 30" one level with a volley ball net in the middle, games have been known to break out with only a moments notice. We also have horseshoe pits, and shade for those who just want to relax. If there are any young kids 6-7 or younger we have the availability of a small bounce house. So we need to know who's coming, let Rob or myself know so we can have enough food, and also if there are any young ones. Hope to see you there, or here.


Jeff

Sadly I will not be able to make the BBQ. I have a graduation/going away to college party for my niece. I knew the party was coming just did not know the date/time until this weekend.
At least I will get to visit at the doughnut shop:)

Jim

I'll be at the doughnut shop for sure, not so sure about the BBQ...wanted to bump this since the server will be down starting tomorrow until the event

I'm still coming for both, Will be meeting Mike and anybody else to caravan up to Sacramento, see you at 7:30 Mike. John

Be there!

I'm There!

Sorry to hear some can't make the BBQ, we'll have plenty of food so even if you've never gone to a Sacramento Porsche family reunion if you live close enough drive on out and enjoy the fun. Since the site will be down if you need direction or have questions you can call my cell (916) 834-6574

Hope to see a bunch of you here!!
Jeff

Jeff, I will be there with my son. I will hold off on any food until we get there so we can see what is needed, then make a run to the store.

Better set up the bouncy house for Jake......

That's great glad you can make it, bounce house will be here unless my daughter forgets it.


See you sat
Jeff

LOL........Lennies son Jake is about 25!
