I'm just wondering if there's any interest, I'd be willing to host it.
Plenty of room for camping, or bring a cot and sleep in the shop.
Looking for a reason to hoist a few

And

about how fast we've had our 914 going...on jackstands.
We should at least get something in the works for next year
Not looking to do a porvolks show, something a bit more informal, just the 914world crowd

We are actually co-hosting a swap meet and show and shine with Randy Meyer from Whaletail. It will be on September 29 in Waterloo.
I should have mentioned this earlier...
There will be burgers and drinks, but you gotta bring your own booze.
Here are the details.

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-c...QAdIdZ395075222That sounds great!
I'll see if I can make it.
There should be it's own thread for this one for sure.
I'd still be down for something here, maybe June/July of next year?
I want to do something small scale, not a show, just the 914 guys.
Something like the tranny clinic....
Maybe the Doc wants to come up, I'm almost recovered from the last time we got

You Dufus's need to think big. Think like an Merican.
We have RRC, WCR and a handful of other events east of the Mississippi that I can't remember right now. How aboot a Iceberg Classic or a Woodcutters Reunion? You could have a tree cutting contest, moose wrestling and a drive to Ottowa to see that big ass goose.
Evenings could be spent in Sarnia with stacks of singles.
Make a weekend oot of it.
balljoint
Aug 29 2012, 06:23 AM
Erc is remembering the adult entertainment venue in Sarnia called Wendy's. What he doesn't realize is that it is a chain. You can see fine ladies at Wendy's right across the country.
On the thinking big idea I think we need to have it just big enough that Erc doesn't think he should show up.
Woody can come, but he would be murdered in his sleep. Anyone have a problem with that?
Mark Henry
Aug 29 2012, 09:35 AM
Well this sounds cool....guess we'll have to figure out a date.
Peteyd was afraid that he hijacked my thread, don't worry about it bud, I wanted to know if anything else was shaking in the 905. If I can I'll hit your show I'll be there.
I know I can get Mike Gallaway (mikes914's) to show up.
I don't want "big", I've tried that before, I don't want to be out of pocket, I don't want to charge admission, .....etc.
I do want a few 914 buds, listen to someone bullshit better than me, roast some flesh, pot luck, BYOB and hoist a few ales.
Erc I can get you across the border, I have a friend who um..."imports items" on the reserve. Very quick process, and fun! Two 300hp merc o/b's on a 17' aluminium fishing boat will put a smile on your face.
Just don't be fooled by that 25hp rating on the boats coast gaurd tag, remember in Canada that rating is in metric.
If you want to stay the weekend we have spot for your pup tent or tour bus, a couple of B&B's are in the area and a few motel/hotels in town.

No, no they wouldn't do that. They are nice guys, they would never intentionally hurt Erc.
But....they might have to tie him to the bow, they need to counter weight the twin merc's. No blindfold, they like the passengers to enjoy the view.

So you set yourself a goal of grad to get the first car running and it worked. Maybe you should be aiming at MSC 2013 to get the V8 on the road. Deadlines are marvelous things! Been really quiet on your build thread. Yeah yeah - school, money, time ... Don't want to hear the excuses.
Mark - what can we do to help make this thing happen? Potluck sounds good but you gotta promise no rain during flesh roasting!

After this weekend I'll be MIA for the next 2 weeks so think of some dates for this to happen.
May can have blackfly and the May two-four weekend is traffic hell.
June is ok but it sometimes pours.
July is a fairly safe bet.
August is good, but sometimes the odd T-storm spoils the fun.
Both july 1st and the first weekend in august are long weekends, so more traffic.
We should have lots of time to get this to work.

I had to leave just before noon. The only 914 there but was fairly well received I think. My wife felt a little self conscious when we were driving in the driveway and everyone was looking at us.
Very cool cars there. And an impressive amount of porsche parts available. I will definitely be going back. Randy was pretty busy talking to everyone.
