End of June, I'm showing my car in the concours on Monday June 24. I live in Cadillac, 40 miles away. No other plans for the rest of the week, but I should at least have some 914world people over for a barbecue or something!

Anyone else going?

Paul

I'm planning to go up for the concours weekend, but probably not much after Tuesday.

This is my fave spot in Mich, for those of you going. Take some time to see the

area. Take a ride all the way up the peninsula to the very end , where the Grand

Traverse Bay meets the lake. The sunset or sunrise there ,lets you know there is

God ! Dave

Looking forward to the Parade! I thought it may not be that we'll attended, but it's been already been oversold on hotel rooms, so looks like folks are coming.

My wife and I went to the last Parade up there (many years ago), and remember the area with fond thoughts. She's already checking out wineries to visit, and I'm looking forward to bringing my freshly rebuilt 914-6 up there. Don't know about the Concours, but the Car Corral is a nice place to wander around. I think there should be a nice turnout of 914s there.

We had our tour meeting this morning. I'll be heading up two of the NW Lake Michigan Tours on Tuesday and Wednesday both at 8:00AM

The flaming yellow unicorn has been entered in the modified touring category at the concours. See you there. Join one of my tours!

OK Eric, I just signed up for Wednesday:

Northwest Lake Michigan #2
Wednesday, June 26 8:00am to Wednesday, June 26 5:00pm

Paul

Neat! My wife is from Cadillac originally. Went up through there for the first time a couple years ago. Beautiful country.

Hi Guys,
I am registered #114 and signed up in the concourse 914, RS06 division R111, full restoration with the 4's & 6's, ouch. I will be there on Sunday June 22nd. and leaving Wednesday June 26th. A.M. for home. I am signed up for the Tuesday tour NW Lake Michigan DT and the evening banquet.
More later.
Tom

Weekly bump...Anyone else?

Paul

Who else is going?

Paul

Wish I wasn't all the way out in AZ. Traverse City would be a great time. Enjoy guys!

Can a guy just show up? I have to go to Florida for a one day meeting instead of going to the WCR. But maybe I could make the Parade last minute.

Oh, do you have to be a PCA member to attend?

Wimp!

Did you sign up for the AM tour??

I've been trying, but looks like I'll miss it by a week. Kids family schedules did not line up for our summer trip back to MI. Bummed

Prolly... nobody stopping you from showing up and looking around. I did that last year in SLC at the Concours, but then again, I led three tours last year as well.

for George.

Sounds like fun



David

My wife and I are planning going up on Saturday and coming home late monday afternoon. With it being a 8 hour drive I really can't pass it up

Make sure you stop by and say hi at the concours!

Paul

Getting closer. Anyone wandering up into the Big Mitten?

Leaving tomorrow AM for the start of the Journey. Heading to Stoddard, NLA for the Car Show and Swap then flying back home. Then, flying back to Cleveland to drive the rig to Traverse City.

Eric, if you are driving to Traverse you are passing through Cadillac. Maybe you can stop by and say hi.

Paul

Hi Eric,
Travel safe and see you at Parade.
BTW: My 914 is at a local shop for a safety/mechanical/electrical checks along with a minor tuneup. They just called and said it will be ready late next week or later This leaves me little time for my buff and clean time, Grrrr I hate delays. I was thinking about renting a U-Haul trailer & tow it with a SUV Ford Explorer. I just leaned U-Haul has banned the Explorer due to a 2-3 year old laysuit. Looks like I'll have to drive the 260 miles to TC then another clean & buff for the concourse. CW life is not fair.
Tom

Hi Paul in Cadillac,
Looking forward to seeing your beautiful 914. Are you driving to Parade or on a trailer??? It's only about 60 miles ++--.
I checked the long term forcast on weather & looks like low sunny 70's during the day and low 50's at night.
Tom

Julie and I are going up for the week, assuming I can get through the next couple of weeks at work!

I'm hoping to bring my flared 914-6 conversion car (if we can get the rebuilt engine installed in time), but if not I'll bring my trusty old 914-6. Looking forward to meeting some 914World members in person!

Looks like I won't be able to get the time of work this year. I hope to see some wonderful pictures!

OK, the following are going:

orthobiz (Paul)
GeorgeRud
TJB/914 (Tom)
Eric Shea
Jgilliam914
Hawk

Anyone else?

Paul

Since I'm in a class with less than 1,000 miles per year of manufacture, I think I'm gonna trailer it up there, it's about 40 miles away. BUT I plan on driving it home!!! And on the Eric Shea ride Wednesday morning.

Paul

How about the teeners get together Monday night after the concours for a brew or two?

Eric,

Are you going through Toledo?

Yes.

When?

Not sure. Probably 3:30-4:00. I have a dinner in Grosse Pointe tomorrow evening. Flight lands in Cleveland around 1:10PM. Need to then get the truck & trailer and drive so... however long all that and the distance to Toledo woul be?

Porkie?

Nah. I was just looking at your route to the West side of MI.

But you're in Detroit(ish) Thursday night?

Nevermind then.

Here's another option:

How about an impromptu "Teener Sunset Tour" after the concours on Monday to one of my favorite places on earth?

It's about 34 miles and 1 hour:

Parking in the Harbor parking lot. Fresh smoked fish on the dockside and cherries from roadside stands along the way...





Just say YES!!!

Eric & 914er's.
Lets all sit together at the Tuesday evening banquet dinner along with Eric's other activities???

I am driving my 914 the 260 miles to TC on Sunday morning. I am behind schedule on cleaning due to a heavy work load in business. Buff & Shine is all it gets.

Eric I agree on the side trip to Leland MI.
My story:: We have a summer cottage up-north in Petoskey (hr. drive from TC) that my wife spends all summer while I commute weekends from downstate Plymouth running my business. During "Sweet Black Cherry" season I always stop at road side stands for a big bag of fresh cherry's on my way downstate. I open the roof hatch on my business car and spit with force up in the air hoping to clear the trunk. When I get home I check for cherry stains on the cars rearend and if none, it's a good trip. I smile at myself in the mirror with my purple stained cherry lips. End of story, life is good BTW: I never do this with my chrome yellow 914.
Tom

I have dinner plans Tuesday night with relatives in Harbor Springs. I'd love to firm up the Leland drive though.

Good luck and have fun at Parade! Your car is sure to get some nice attention!

Thanks Brian. Soon to be out of my hands. It will be good to have that behind me so I can go for a drive with my friends. Speaking of which; Paul, Zed, Bliz? Is Leland on Monday for a Sunset cruise??

Ortho is in if I'm not too tired!

Paul

Is there any thing going on in Traverse City on Saturday or Sunday? I'm up for the week end only.

David

David. We're heading up in the morning. Lunch with friends then driving the route. The a concours meeting an a Zone 1 party. Sunday ill be working check in at 8:00am through 11:00 then driving the route one more time.

Give me a holler when you get in.

Paul, well be in Cadillac in 120 minutes at the Citgo on 115.

914er's.
I decided to get a U-Haul truck/trailer combo with an Air Condition truck to haul my 914. I am leaving early tomorrow, Sunday morning, Plymouth to TC. It's a 4-1/2 hr drive so see you Sunday noonish.
Tom

Missed you!

Paul
