Rob, I got my car off the jack stands and running yesterday. Drove it up and down the street. It's like a go cart. I've got pics but I need to reduce them to upload them to the site. I'll get them on tonight.

Paul

Congrats Paul. Can't wait to see the car. Post some pics and let me know which pic you want me to put on the TampaBay914 site....

I'm in if I can pick up my door skins too. If not maybe next time.

I will try my best to show.

- Brett Smith

Sorry, but I'm doubtful. My six is going in the car but I don't think it will ready by then. Also, I think I have to work for Skip Barber in Savannah that weekend. I really want to do one of these breakfasts and I will assure my car will be done for the next one and it will amaze you.

I put it on my calendar, gonna put a post it up on my desk somewhere too, just so I make sure nothing else comes up.

I think that the HSR races are that weekend in Sebring. Maybe a great roadtrip.
Just a suggestion.

Please add "Ray Oaks" to the list of attendees.

I'll more than likely be able to make it.

Ken and Andrew, looking forward to meeting you guys.

BTW, what's your last names?

Steve, get the attendees coming....

Hargraves

FYI,
The Suncoast PCA Swapmeet will be on March 12.
It will be at Dave White Motorsports.

Steve, do you know Mark Larsen, radio guy and 914 daily driver?

I can email him but he gets hundreds of emails a day.

Paul

I certainly know of him but have never met him and I didn't know he drove a 914. He is quite entertaining on the radio. What do you know about his 914?

Mark was at the Dave White swap meet last year and drove his car. I think its yellow?

I hung out with him and Rouser knows him. But he is not a 914 expert, just a guy that likes the car.

Paul

Three weeks to go...

Ok guys,

Put me in!!! I'll be there-haff to drive the Pik-up my 75 is still apart and the 71 goes to the strip shop tomorrow for plastic media blasting.

I'm a glutin for punishment!!!

Kevin

Welcome Kevin, look forward to meeting you.

BTW, what's your last name?

Hey Rob my name is Erik Watters Kenpo is just the style karate I study. Sorry it took a while to see your post, been busy.

I use to listen to Mark on his show on AM970 - WFLA, but now he hosts The Morning Magazine on AM1040 - WWBA.

Mark was looking for a buyer for his mint Orange '73, so I put him in touch with the guy in Conn. who was (previously) looking at that eBay LE in Ft. Meyers that I did a PPI on. The guy flew down for business in Orlando and drove to Tampa to see the car. A bit of chin and head scratching, some grunts and groans, they both made nice-nice and the car was flatbedded to Conn.

Mark's looking for a Boxster now; he wanted A/C and I told him I'd shoot him in the balls if he hacked up that '73, ergo the sale.

Rouser,

Are you sure you're talking about Mark larsen? The guy with the very nice signal orange '73 914 2.0 at Dave White's Swap Meet last year was Mark Zintel. The reason I know this is because I used to own that car before Mark did. I sold the signal orange 914 after I purchased the sahara beige 914.

Steve,
Mark was at the Swap meet and had a orange car also.
To bad he sold it.

P

Hmmm, I did not know that.

Quote: Too bad he sold out.

Ah so what, I believe he's a liberal anyway.

QUOTE

Mark Larsen stated he purchased the car from you, and has since sold it to Michael A. Stroz from Conn.

I haven't spoken to Mark recently, so I don't know if he's purchased the Boxster yet.

I'm sure he would be insulted to be called a Liberal; he's more of a conservative-leaning Libertarian, which means he talks about politics without every-other-word being "BASH BUSH!"

I listen to him every day. He is NOT a lib.

My sincere apology Mark, for the unsubstantiated characterization.

Steve,
Mark's show is over by 9:00 am so I could see how you wouldn't be able to tune in to him.

Paul

Two weeks to go...

I'll be there. My 914-6 won't be. My dad died today and I have to go home to Watkins Glen in the next couple of days, so the reconstruction gets delayed again. I decided not to work for Skip in Savannah that weekend just so I could be with you guys. Plus it will give me a chance to go the HSR event in Sebring too. Anybody up for a drive to Sebring after breakfast?
T.C.

Really sorry to hear about your dad TC.

I'm sure I'd be for the trip to Sebring but I don't think I'd be willing to drive the 914. Which means if we leave directly from the breakfact I wouldn't be able to bring a 914 to the breakfast.

TC, just saw this, very sorry about your Dad... looking forward to seeing you again...

(10) days to go..... Any other attendees??????

Wow, I had to go back 5 pages to find this....

Rob,
I'll bring my car (or what is left of it). My wife and daughter want to come too.

OT: I played golf at Walden Lake on Sunday. Which hole do you live on?

Paul

We're on the 'Hills', 14-hole, par-3, over the water... 2-story that backs up to the t-box..

Looking forward to seeing you, the family and what's left of the teener...

1 week to go.....

Okay, I hate to do this, but I'm out. I need to go to South Florida for some stuff, leaving Thursday. Everything always comes up at the last minute, I hate this.

Hey Paul, how olds yer daughter? LOL.

I'm not laughing.

VERY poor taste. Let me guess, you don't have kids?

VERY poor taste.

I say maul him with those pit pugs of yours; teach him a lesson!

I was hoping to have the Elise and I was gonna make an appearance... but it looks like another 10 days or so...

Hey TC.......Are we heading for Sebring after breakfast????????????

Yes I'm going to Sebring after. I can wait on you if don't take the teener.
T.C.

Between the pit pugs and Robs Attack Dashounds there won't be any ankles left to stand on.
Just start chewing on the feet and ankles and wait for the rest of him to fall into reach.
Now that my autocross event is cancelled I thought about going to Tampa. But kinda want to pic up my door skins at the same time. Plus see Rob's car drive up to the breakfast under it's own power. Or which ever comes first.

Tomorrow's the day of the breakfast....should have lots to talk about...

Rob,

Ray Oakes and I will be there. My tennis captain is mad at me but 914's must come before team tennis. Ray will have his LE with him but I may not be able to bring a 914 because I'm going directly to Sebring from the breakfast and I want to drive down in my Jeep.

I talked to Joe Courey last night and he will not be able to make it. So sorry we won't get to see his beautiful Phoenix Red '74 2 Liter.

Rob Quarles is going to stop by but won't be able to say very long. Maybe only a half hour or so.

I never heard back from Jeff and Robin Pelszynski. I will send them a reminder.

I'm thinking of driving my car.

You think anyone can catch me?

Paul
