I'm a new member to this site. My wife and I recently got our third 914 (1975 914/4) and I'm looking for misc. parts like a driver's side door handle and the clutch cable clasp that attaches to the pedal arm up front. We ran into Dino when we were looking our new house we're buying in Navy Yard City. You said you have some extra parts Dino. Get ahold of me (bsbuckingham@yahoo.com) and lets talk.

Welcome, actually, you missed out on a great parting out event just last weekend. Both parts you are looking for were on the car. I still have them both. When you say drivers handle, do you mean the outside one? I have that as well as the clutch attatchment thingy that goes inside the car. E-mail sent.

Again, welcome!

Ohhhhhhhh that Dan ROOT is a wiley one I tell ya! Welcome to the site, if Dan the man can't hook you up, I can!
More West side looneys! RAWK ON! We may even have enuff members over here to plan a breakfast meeting soon!
When IS that first PCA/ Bremerton Sports car Club/ SCCA autocross any way??

Anyway, welcome! and, just so you know, you can trust Dan Root. He is a great guy!

(Passing a $5 spot)

Thanks dude.

yep, all of the above is true.

we may very well have enough kitsap teeners to warrant having a breakfast. maybe some of the kewl kids from the big city would come over!

and maybe we could do a scenic drive afterward. ok, i just want to hear Dave's RAT motor. i guess that was obvious, huh?

Good lord, another peninsula member! Welcome! 914s must grow on trees over there, or on the vine. There sure are a lot of active peninsula/ south-end members! We should do our next "breakfast lunch" in the Tacoma area.. maybe the Spar again?

The first PCA autocross looks like 3/19. I don't follow the February autocrosses, because those guys fortify themselves with something, and I don't know what it is.

the spar was fun, but I think we West Sounders would be more voting for either the Big Apple Diner just out side of Bremerton, Noah's Arc in Btown The Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor (Dave help us out here!) or the Whiskey Creek Saloon in Keyport. Or some place on the Bainbridge... The airport diner has good breakies too if you want something near the autocross site...

We love hanging out with all you main landers, but we have really fun places too! and really REALLY curvy roads!

Do any of those places have good coffee and food?

I'm not much into beer and drivin'.. what can I say.

Oh YEAH! The tides is a Tavern, but they have great burgers. Same for the Whiskey Creek, it is really a Steak House that is call that for more "local flavor". The other places are just fude and stuff, no hootch.
There is a really great coffee house at Washington Park called Cafe Destino, I think they have brunch on sunday and just coffee and pastries on Saturday.

I totally agree with the beer and drivin! Wet twisties and couple of dont mix!

Sounds great, Dino! We really need to do something over that way.. it's long overdue.
I bet at least a dozen members will show up, and if all the Kitsap and Tacoma guys can make it, it would be a big one for sure!

Hey Dino or Shane, if you guys put anything together, my wife and I would love to come!

just think of the photo ops! remember last year at the spar? the sun came out long enough to give us beautiful lighting for a shot of 8 teeners, all lined up pretty, with a shiny tugboat backdrop... it was gorgeous!

we will look at putting something together! if it is a lunch thing, we could go to big bubba's burgers in allyn, or fat smitty's in discovery bay.

lots of possiblities. need to prioritize and plan.
