Greetings from the bowels of the earth ... Riverslime, CA. It is that time of year for all Porcupines to gather again before the coming of winter. I announce the whatever version of the G&R All 914 Rusty Parts Swap Meet and Animal Flesh Roasting Festival. . The date shall be OCTOBER 28, 2012.The super-secret location for this momentous event is 2727 Kansas Ave, Riverside, CA, 92507, hereafter known as Pig Hollow. It doesn't smell as good as Beaver, but we have less flies.

There are several notable changes in the venue, so pay attention to the following:

1.) After many beatings and hours under the heat lamps, I have been forced to accept the fact that we are now an official Region 8?/15? PCA event. To honor this major change in structure, I will be the one in the gold tinted Tuxedo using my favorite aftershave of wine and old cheese***.

2.) The PCA has awarded us sufficient sponsorship monies to purchase a new BBQ. This will allow us to burn the bovine flesh and Suidae family of even-toed ungulates flesh in a more even manner than before. We cannot guarantee that it will taste any better.

3.) We will make every effort to provide Veggie burgers to those that are so inclined. We will also provide lo/no fat tasteless cheese for these burgers so that the pretentious ones can feel good about themselves.

4.) Even though we are official, we will not deviate from our previous venue of not charging entrance, parking or swap space fees. The G&R has always been free with the exception of food and shall remain so.

Again I must warn those with lower than stock vehicles to be aware of the approach to the rear gate. Front valences and mufflers are especially subject to the 5 degree ramp required by the City of Riverside so please angle in to avoid leaving parts in the gutter.

You again will be able to view Glenns' 3.0 conversion on jackstands. To make sure the shell is stable, we have welded the jackstands to the shell as it will probably remain in this state for years.

Albertos' 3.0 conversion will not be available for public viewing as the blew off the offer for me to store it while he gets his act together. It will continue to reside in his garage collecting rat/mice turds and dust.

Depending upon time, we may have a bonfire. I intend to remove the drivetrain from the Slitsalom, roll it outside, douse it with gasoline and burn the body. Those wishing to dance around it must wear a loin cloth and carry spears.

Er(i)c Shea may again show off his fully polished trailer as the GT replica that sits on it probably won't be running due to his superior knowledge of 914 assemblies.

All Porsche vehicles are now welcome, but I refuse to change the title of this event to accommodate them. 911s will no longer be designated as parts cars for conversions, but it is ok to refer to them as that.

Remember there is only one Unisex bathroom, so don't bring your gastrointestinal problems with you.

Bringing your own libations is perfectly acceptable, but don't get out of hand. Excreting those libations in the parking lot behind objects is not acceptable. Pinch it off or plug it and await your turn in the Unisex restroom. If your libations are in glass bottles, please take care not to leave broken glass on the ground.

The Menu:

For Breakfast, we will provide coffee and donuts. If you bring your own breakfast make sure it is eaten prior to arrival or bring enough for everyone.

For the Flesh Roasting part of this event, we will again have burgers, hot dogs/bratwurst accompanied by chips and macaroni/potato salad.

If Joe shows up with his variations of Chili ... it's DAMN GOOD and will stay with you for a minimum of 24 hours.

We will have soda and water on hand also.

We are not funded for the food we provide so we will ask for a $5.00 donation per person if you decide to partake in our fabulous culinary offerings.

I will open the gate between 6:00 and 6:30 AM. Please don't bitch if I'm a little late as I have to get up at 4:00 AM to accomplish this feat and that usually puts me in a really bad mood. Hell, the chickens are still asleep at that time.

So, please bring all your unwanted rusty junk and try to sell it to someone else. We are especially fond of conversion parts and get first shot at them.

In case you get lost on your way, the following phone numbers may or may not be useful:

Ron: (951) 751-3584
Glenn: (951) 235-7349

Now, I realize that this announcement is probably tame compared to the others I have written, but give me a freakin' break. While I am wont to insult eveyone and everything, I'm trying to class up my act in light of our new status. It's worse than trying to quit smoking.

We hope to see all of you here. The G&R is and was always a gathering of friends and is dedicated to that idea.

If I have missed anything, please send me a PM. It will be politely ignored.

***And finally, thanks go out to Jim Lamonica and the rest of the PCA members for thinking so highly of us and providing the new BBQ. We deserve it.

Oh come on E! What could you possibly need... It's done. Drive it.

... new project.

Can we clone Vanessa? Yopu would short out and fly around the room backwards if I brought home another one...

Finally a semi-sanctioned event. If you haven't attended this event, now you have absolutely almost NO reason not to. Besides, SLITS told me at the RRC that if more people show up than last time, he will change to a VEGAN diet and quit smoking. So, lets all do our part in improving Rons health. And who knows, maybe you might find something for your car. One thing I can promise is you will meet some good people with some nice cars and you WILL have a good time.
Cheers, Elliot

Only if I don't show up with the 'BB'

I've got it marked on the calendar

As I said over on NARP, G&R is still the best time I've ever had in Riverside. Next time I can make it, I'll bring a car instead of a Ryder truck.

As if my mini swap meet at RRC wasn't enough, I will be seeing if I can generate another truckload of high grade German scrap.

So.. the President can't make it??

( G&R is still the best time I've ever had in Riverside.)

I love this line. We all know how many fun and rewarding things their are to do in Riverside????

Sorry RON & Bruce Can I still come?

No .... his towel is in the wash.

Corrected .... you can come or breath hard anyway.

Hey, I was born in Riverside and I am proud of it. If I have any mental or physical problems due to the excess smog growing up, I now have something to blame it on.

Hey! I didn't ignore you, time flew by. I actually logged on to post about the Halloween Run. See you at both...

I'm wearing my green robe and cowboy boots. I bought a set of Fuchs at the last meet. If you miss this event

Bummer! I was hoping the President will give me a ride
Now I have to ask Putin for a favor.

Not sure if I can make it or not, but I'll be sure to send my assistant:

If he starts licking parts (car parts you pervert), he's outta here!

What does he assist you with?

Are you sure?

Richard Simmons is proof you are what you eat ...

Fuchin' Twinkie

for the best 914 gathering in SoCal.

Least we forget

this is something you really should go to if you're close. . just a bunch of fun and lots of old parts and treasures.. . .

from down in the dumpster!!!

Dave's not here!

I've been to several of these G&R things, and I'll agree there are lots of old Farts there ... but 'treasures'? ...

My mistake ... you said old PARTS

I may make part of it if time limits allow, i will be coming in from opening weekend in Ocotillo Wells!

I think it's time for peep's to start listing what they're bringing, so I'll start. I'm bringing #1- a set of Fuch's (not the one's I just had re-finished but an Ace set) wheels with nice tires; #2 - NOS seat belts in original boxes; #3 - NOS rear rubber bumper top; #4 - and of course, some of the S.O.S. that everyone else brings.
EDIT: No pre-orders accepted. You have to drag your butt down there. There is a rumor abound that Ron will be polishing/cleaning Fuch's (pro bono) for those attending.

I've got some stuff to sell this time. I'll be bringing this set of wheels to sell (real cheap). Maybe some other small stuff.

Time to bump this. If you live within a few hundred miles of this event, you owe it to yourself to show up. Always a great time. I'll see you all there.
Cheers, Elliot

Any one need black bumpers from a 74? I can bring them.

Time for a bump.

I am hopeful that I will be bringing my 914 it is supposed to be finished and make it's debut at this event.

I have my fingers crossed.

And miss this?? Not for the "world" bump to catch up with old friends
and that Ron guy.....

OK, I'm beginning to believe that this car doesn't even exist.

It does ... I've seen it ... it's still on the lift (overpriced jackstands).

Dude I got you covered...LMK Ill tow it to Riverside

If they're free, yea. Don't want to cut up the chrome ones when I go water cooled. PM me is so. kent

I'm stuck working (again), but if someone is going to be in my area, I have a bunch of "stuff" they could take down & I'd split the profits with them.

L-E-UT it does exist if only as an assembly of parts and was destined to ride a lift for the last 7 years...... maybe more? I don't know..... color me cautiously optimistic.

Discovery after spending some time under the car yesterday:


Missing the sheet metal clamping piece for the heater...the one on the driver side that clamps it to the fan shroud. So anybody has some sheet metal parts for that...I would need it.


Also....if somebody has a spare shifting rod bushing(s) bring them....I would glady relieve you of the extra parts in trade for some greenbacks.

Plus.....I am bringing some rusty stuff I have hanging around.

Oopps....BTW...thanks for the use of the expensive jack stands yesterday Ceasar.....thank for the help. Now I can drive.

Anytime Rob!

I was just notified that Factory 914/6 #11 will be in attendance. I am going to try to rope off a special place for it so you vultures can't get your grimy hands on it.

I'm sure the owner will watch it like a hawk!

Mr bdstone,
if you have a clean/plated strap for the brake fluid reservoir, please bring.

Also wanted :
- 2.0 engine/core and injectors if you got them.
- early fog lights

See you all there
