Rumor has it there are more than just Rand and me in town for 914'ers... Let's find out. The first Reno Porsche Family Reunion will be Saturday, October 8th - 9am to Noonish at Starbucks at the corner of Double R Blvd. and South Meadows Parkway...

Reno Teeners sound off! How many of us are there?

Rand
I know these guys in town, but not sure if they are members here:
John Hanson
Matt Sewell
Aaron Jones

I've seen some other cars in town but haven't met the drivers.

Also see member handles here:
reno rs
Reno914
RenoRoger
reno 914

I know there are more than a couple Tahoe guys too.
Merrill Milner, and a couple other World members.

Maybe a few Sacramento or Bay area guys are up to a nice drive?

It will be interesting to see who we get.

My /6 was sold new in Reno at Bill Stremmel P+A back in May '70. Do you know if that name & business is still around?
If it weren't for the distance, I'd be there.
Have fun.

Don, there is a Porsche dealer in town but that is not the name. The Audi shop is closed due to the economy.
Fire it up and drive it on out!

Bill Stremmel P+A was located at 1496 South Virginia Ave. Maybe you know the area.
Thanks for the invite, though.

That's a few blocks from my work. Now at that address is "Norm's Auto," a used car dealer.

I have found another great place to have this event and that is where it will be located after this first one. Let's get the Reno community together! If you're selling a car, the CEO of the hospital that I work at is a 914 fan and wants to get his second. His first he bought in high school and drove through his senior year and all through college. Put 200K miles on it. He will be dropping by the event.

See you there!

I'm finding all kinds of 914 guys in Reno! Some of them aren't even on the internet so they didn't know about this site! My kid's school counselor has one. He saw a 914World t-shirt on Nicho and gave him my number. Nicho thought he was in deep doodoo! biggrin.gif

See you at the reunion!
Rand
I saw another one on my drive home from work. Red, 4cyl.
Rand
Go figure, saw another one today on my way to work. Orange with a white patch on front fender.

Looks like I'll make it, with my newly installed sway bar too!

Anyone on this side of hill planning on going, I'll be leaving Roseville around 8am if you'd like to caravan. Got an extra seat too if anyone's interested.

Cool! If you haven't mapped it out Brett, I80 to 395 South. Then take the South Meadows Parkway exit and go back under the freeway. About two or three lights ahead is Double R Blvd. Starbucks is in the Southeast corner visible from the intersection.
Rand
See you in the mornin'

ConeDodger
IT'S MORNING!!! See you in this. The 914 is in California for an engine change...
ConeDodger
We had a small but quality turnout which is what I expected for the first Reno Porsche Family Reunion... The parking lot was horrible. Starbucks is way too busy but John, Brett, and I had breakfast at Peg's which has been voted best breakfast in Reno for like the last 10 years straight.

Rand, Ray, John, George, Brett, and some anonymous guy with a 911 Turbo came out for this first event. Brett drove all the way over from Roseville California! The next event will be at Dough Boys in Damonte Ranch at the corner of Damonte Ranch and So. Virginia Street by WalMart. Better parking lot and cooler location for the event.
Enjoy the pictures...

Right as we were leaving a bunch of Subie guys showed up. This guy was with them.
ConeDodger
More of us... John's wife's 62 Bug. (really original)
ConeDodger
That's John, Rand, and Rand's Dad Ray in the picture. Ray is an original owner of a '58 Speedster. I guess we know where Rand gets his sports car roots...
ConeDodger
Mine and George's cars...
ConeDodger
That's all folks! See you next month!

Six in my 914 if I want to blow up the new engine!

Actually your name came up today. Rand wanted to know if your GT was roadworthy yet. I told him my recollection was there was going to be multiple engine swapping going on between the 911 and the 914 and that a former 'That Guy' was involved...
