Hey Guys,

Just want to update you on the weather conditions. There has obviously been a recent change in the weather(Cold snap). I know that it is far fetched but it has happened before. Friday has been given a warning of rain and light dusting of snow in the bay area most likely at higher elevations. Please advise that it will be colder in the evening into the night and Saturday morning. Therefore there could be black ice/snow in the morning on those winding roads up in woodside. Drive slow at first just to be cautious so we all arrive accident free and in once piece.

See you all there,

Yeah probably best to stick with 4 wheels. ITs all speculation though the weather man is notoriously wrong.

Damit, I am not going to be able to make it. Car was starting just fine a couple hours ago, now I have no spark. Coil seems to test out on the ohm meter 8k from post to terminals, 3 ohms from pos to neg), and its got power. I am in no mood to track down electrical issues tonight.

Don't wait for me.

Yeah, I know, but I will probably just immerse myself into getting the teener running.

Hope you all have a great run.

Well, it's pouring rain and I can't close the driver's window (and I don't have heat). It'd be great to have a weather report from someone up in the area early tomorrow morning so that we can make sensible decisions - could easily be snow up there tonight.

Thanks to all the folks that braved the cold sunshine - was good to put faces to a few names, hope to catch up with you again next time...

Nice turnout, considering all the rain (for California) we had last night. The weather turned out to be good, but cold (for California). 10 cars plus another 914 guy that I guess was hanging out with the Boxster guys. For those that don't know, Alice's restaurant is a hangout for motorheads of all types, and there was another group of Porsche guys in the back room also meeting for breakfast. Some pics ...

Pelican usually does a New Years run in the same area. I've done it a couple times. Last time I was there over 55 Porsche's were there. They meet at 92 and Canada Road.

LOL!! Nice overlay music Mike!! That was a fun little ride over today (including the thumbs up from the 997 as we were going of the San Mateo bridge). It was great to see so many 914's. Did we outnumber the Boxster group?

I didn't get a chance to look back there, but I don't think many boxsters were in the lot. Id say we outnumbered them 2/1 at least. haha

That was a great get together guys, I'm looking forward to seeing you all at some point in the new year. If you have any new years resolutions (to be made on your 914) now would be the time so its ready for the next meeting.

Cheers!
