I'm in as long as we don't bring Amoy. She'll get us thrown out again.

Just asking..... i would still make the drive if I were free.... it's just well over an hour..... in a 914.

There's Jimmy Bean's on Gilman in Berkeley. A selfishly more convenient(ish) location for us North Bayer's.

There's no group parking anywhere near JB ...
PS: Also, last time i set up a "north bay" meeting only two people showed up, me from Oakland and Fiid from SF.

The reasoning behind choosing Pleasanton as a location was because it's readily accessible from all North, South, East and West directions. I was hoping to draw the largest crowd possible. Any date preference yet?

Would love to come stare at your 914's, but baseball season is in full swing (9:30 AM games on both of those dates).

It would be nice to see Marty up and running around. If it is scheduled for the 5/6 morning in P-town, I should be able to make it. I would like to see and talk with some other Teeners about our cars and the issues we face getting/keeping them on the road. This coming weekend I am in CO.

Looks like 5/6 is the better date, so 5/6 it is.
Side note: That's also the R-Group meet-up Saturday at EASY.

I could do lunch (I know, it blows a hole in the middle of the day) but to get there at 9:14 I would have to leave the house at 6:00.
Plus if Amoy
isn't going to be there what's the use.

Same here, which is why i'll be there sans 914.
Battery is dead and i haven't cleaned out all the mold yet.
Plus, i broke the drivers side mirror when i bumped into it with the trash can.

Well...
A turn of the battery switch and 15 seconds of cranking to prime the fuel line and it fired right up. Took it for a 5 mile shake down and everything works!
Time to do some PM work on it before WCR.

Thanks Marty! We're all very happy to see you're alive and kickin'
It was nice to see some of the old guard as well as new members to the World. It was also nice to get an 80 mile run in the orange 914. And, whoops, I also forgot to take any pictures.
Bummed that I found this the afternoon of the day of, but still glad it happened.
Since Fiid made that previous meetup you mentioned, SirAndy, I'll have to chastise him for not pinging me.
Did take the -6 to the first Berkeley Cars & Coffee that happened last month, and expecting to make the next one on 5/28.

That was a good turnout. I wish I could have stayed for the breakfast but just seeing everyone was terrific. Oh, and nobody even gave Dave a hard time about arriving in his 911..... we are a forgiving group like that.

Well, I had to umpire a kids baseball game...which was fun...but I still wish I could have driven my Nissan Maxima over to stare at your 914's.
