and


take a shower?



I don't need food ... I'm fat enough.

You do NOT have to wear a tuxedo. (Have you ever)?
You DO have to take a shower. (Have you ever)?
You ARE fat enough. (Aren't we ever)?

BUMP

Damn Mark, Did you just invite the Rainbow Coalition?

It doesn't mean you're a bad person.

No

Actually, I'm having the event catered by "Chick-fil-a"

oh good, will Todd Akin be serving us?

Ah...I had heard that Ex-Senator Weiner would be assisting Joe at the Bar-B-Q since he is familiar with those things.

He is looking for a new job.

Uh oh, he said weiner!

Note: We're getting close to 30 people and we only have about a dozen chairs at the shop



Also, let me know if you didn't get a PM with the address ...

I'm the only one that will be sitting down. The rest of you will be putting the four post lift together and adjusting my carbs.

dibs on a chair..... im getting old and fat. 42 is taking its toll.

Thanks for the heads up. I will stick one in the car.....

What time does the event start? I want to get there early so I can claim the chair.

Mark, sorry I have to miss this great opportunity.

Have fun !

The gates will open around 8:00 AM. Coffee and breakfast treats will be available (while the limited supply lasts).

Ted, we may schedule some future events if this one goes well ... maybe not as large though
.

Euro911,
Good luck this weekend with the clinic and the lift assembly! Don't forget the case of Dextron III ATF!
Phatnine11

I did some research and noticed that BendPak recommends 10WT or Dextron III, and some other manufacturers suggest ATF as an alternative. Some say ATF is to acidic and eats the seals

Danmar specified AW-32 (ISO32), so we just picked up a 5-gallon jug of that.

Thanks for the suggestion though, Ceasar ...

Ted you're a "wanker"!

for tomorrow's festivities!

-Robert

7 hours from now ...

Thanks Mark for hosting the carb clinic. Got to meet a bunch of familiar names from the board; your shop is very cool, the lift will make it easier to work on you 914s; big thanks to Joe Sharp for the great burgers, dogs, and chili. Learned how carbs should be tuned, how to use a A/F gauge, and got to see some beautiful 914 workmanship.

Thx to Mark for putting on this get together and thx to the other Mark for the ride in his Turbo Suby Ruby. I couldn't find the shit eating grin emoticon. I think we pulled about 2 G's accelerating. I'm now considering the 4 cyl.

Great fun today!!! Had a good time with everyone there. Kent, while you are considering that Suby, I took a ride in Mike's 3.0L! All I can say is


I NEED A SIX!!!!!!

See you all soon!

Mark,, You're a great host, your wife makes yummie snacks! You have a nice set up to bring to life all your projects! I'm green with envy. It was great to see a few new faces as well as the usual mugs. The Lift went together pretty smooth, you had plenty of help,, bolt that puppy down!
Nice BBQ!

THANK YOU

-Robert

Heres a short clip,clip

Nice little clip, Jaime (except for that guy narrating) ... looking forward to seeing the Clinic video

What can I say ... you guys were just absolutely awesome!

With Leaman and Mike D. diving right in and all the help from you guys, the lift is assembled and works great. Doug also did a great job teaching the Carb Clinic.

With so much going on, only snapped a few pix, so I'm hoping there are more pix coming from you guys

Easy to remember names today, there were 4 Jims, 3 Mikes, 2 Joes and 2 Robs ... and of course, Joe Sharp did an outstanding job with the BBQ, as always (thanks, bud)

Hope to have another event sometime in the future, maybe another carb clinic, hands-on tech day and swap meet?
