you will be missed, get well!

Could you duct tape a piece of cardboard over the top or attach it to the lid in that section? Then just throw it away?

Hey is that a Beck body kit on your car? And BTW Jerry you live like 15 minutes from me! I'm in Plainfield.



Hey George everything OK? Hope it's nothing too serious.

Had the pleasure of having a burst appendix back in January and have been hospitalized and in rehab till last week when I was finally able to get home. Very poor feeling in my legs (due to the lengthy hospitalization), and lost the use of my left arm (cause unknown). I hope to get it's use back, but right now I'm just a passenger and still tire easily. Gotta stay positive!

Pete - yes please bring your son, this is a family event.

George - wishing you a full & speedy recovery. we will miss not having you here.

Jerry - I would think Chris idea would work.

Just wanted to say again you don't need to bring a 914 to come. We all have the sickness so drive whatever you want, just come hang out with other 914 nuts and enjoy some food and fellowship.


See you tomorrow.

Chicago folks, sorry for the late call out due to my wife hospital stay. She's back out, but too weak to enjoy the company. What time are you all heading down? I'm in Mt Prospect. 914 Caravan to Portage?

3 hours

Do you need me to bring anythung specific food wise Garold? I won't be there till 115ish.

I really don't know. If you feel like bringing some thing, maybe some chips or???

Garage & canopy are ready, fans are on and it is very muggy. Perfect! O'well that's the way it goes.

On our way from Joliet area.

Leaving Chicago now. Be there about 2pm Eastern time.

Couldn't make it. Hopefully you guys will post some pics and list the names of the 914 nuts in the pics!

Say hi to Brad for me!!

Paul

Thanks Garold for putting this on. It was nice meeting everyone. Sorry we had to leave early but going to a concert tonight.Click to view attachment

.......wish I was there

As usual I was busy talking and didn't take any pictures Julie snapped a few photos. Thanks to all that came out, hope you all had a good time. The weather held out after the early morning rain. We will do this again next year.

It was great meeting, and talking to some of you & finally putting some faces to the names. I showed up more than fashionably late, and missed quite a few of you, but I had a great time!

A big thank you to Garold & his wife, for hosting this event, as well as his in-laws for their hospitality! I had alot of fun, learned some things, and the world got a little smaller!

After I download the pix off my camera I'll post them up!

Great bunch of guys with passion to keep these alive. Thanks Garald for hosting and giving us an opportunity to get together. A big thanks to Stephan for helping me get my tach back working! Anybody ever get up to the Ohare area stop on by

Garold and Julie thanks for host another great event!
It was great to once again see some old friends and make some new friends!

Garold,

Just s short note to express my gratitude to you and your family for hosting this annual BBQ. Even though I have passed my 914 onto my son who lives out of state, I still have a tremendous interest in the cars and the 914 group that hangs together in this area of the country.

I was the guy that showed up in the maroon 993. I also brought a "new" acquaintance, Al Zamora, who currently does not own a 914; but, is thinking about acquiring one. He arrived at your place in the nice tangerine 911T.

I ran into some old friends at this affair, and spent some time discussing VW's with your Dad, since he is of my era. I was sorry to see that Brad Mayeur was not up to making the trip. Brad did a great deal of work on my conversion car. Truly a saint of a guy.

So, thank you for your thoughtfulness and hospitality. You are one of the ones that make 914's a great hobby in the Chicagoland area. Hope to see you next year, with or without a 914 in my stable.

Regards,

Ernie Rossi

Thanks Again! had a great time!

Thanks Gerold & family for inviting all of us over to your house.

Good times all around!

One mistake we always make is not taking photos of the cars with owners as well. Makes for a nice remeberance of the event. Hope to be able to make it next year!

I thought about this afterward too - I also got there late and missed a bunch of people. It would be good to get everyone together for a group photo if possible.

I had hoped to meet you this year George - I read your post about your health issues, made the minor ones I've been having seem, well, minor! Keep chugging along, I'll be hoping for you to have an increasingly speedy & full recovery!

Thanks again for your hospitality Garold and putting on such a great event. What made it even better was not having to get trailered home this year.

Wish I was there had a wedding to go to. Funny I bought some Turbo Twist wheels from AL Zamora on Sunday picked them up at his house in Muncie, IN. nice guy. He has an '02 Turbo besides the '69 911T. He was very interested in my Tangerine 914-6.
