Anyone down in Irving Texas that wants to grab a beer and show off a 914 on 4.9.14? I've got a business trip that has me stranded for the evening. I've owned 914s for the last 23 years. At 41, wife and kids taper my involvement but I'm a lifer.
I'll buy......
It is after all 4......914.

Let me know where you are staying... Irving is a big place.
And do you want me to bring my six, or the wife's 4?

My flight arrives at 5:50PM on Wednesday. I've got lodging at the four seasons 4150 N Macarthur Blvd Irving TX. I can grab a taxi and meet anywhere straight from the airport. I'll check in later (traveling light).
Six or Four?....Owned both, (conversion, current) and each has its merits! I'll be happy to just lay eyes on one!

BTW: taxi's are a $ 25.00 min from the airport.
Looks like around 15 miles from the airport to Gas Monkey Bar & Grille.
I'm down here with some other guys and were sharing a rental car. I want to talk them into the gas monkey trip for Wednesday night. I sent you a pm with my number.

Betty and I are going to be there. She is going to come from her work in Irving, so she will drive herself. So there will be two 914s there.

It looks like I will be able to make it too. It's always nice to hang out with Clay and Betty, and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of you. I'll be leaving the car at home though. It has its track tires on ready for the DE this weekend and I'm too lazy to go change them out tonight.
See you all at 6:30!

I plan to come if I don't get held up by some work crisis.
If I have time to clean up all the crap blocking the 914 in the shop I'll bring it. If not, I'll be in the dirtiest Lotus you're ever likely to see.
