I felt obligated to bump when I saw this in today’s paper. Sign up and send me your T-shirt size and dinner preference (see post#1) if you’re going. Oh yeah, and get your car off jack stands.

I have room for a trailer or two at my house if anyone needs a place to stash one during the run.

Super easy trip from SoCal :-)
Get your rooms! :-) It's cold and windy here this week but we are just clearing this stuff out for a perfect spring.
Hotel and plane reservations done. See you all soon.
My car is no where near ready but I certainly would like to attend the barbecue and PMS tour and meet forum members for first time.
Tshirt Large. Would be happy to bring something to bbq. LMK.

Rich - added you to the list in post #1. You might reconsider joining us as 1- you don't have to drive a 914 (there will be other non-914s on the trip) OR 2- there will be empty right seats available (mine is already filled or I'd offer it to you). I love the driving part but the camaraderie is more than worth the price of admission.
Michael can I order an XL T-Shirt ?
April is pretty much consumed with Rothsport and the Mexican 1000.

Trailer Parking - those trailering cars from the north may want to leave them in Flagstaff/Williams on the way to Phoenix (Flagstaff to Phoenix is 150 miles of freeway). If this is needed it would be nice to have secure parking available. Anyone in the Flagstaff area have any space/ideas? (maybe the Williams Days Inn has space??).

Snowed and rained last night. The wildflowers will be beautiful in April.
Bumpity Bump. Stopped by four-til-four coffee today to see about meeting there before driving to PMS on Friday morning. Great little Porsche-themed coffee shop in Old Town which is on the way from hotel to PMS. They were written up in Pano a year or so ago. http://www.fourtillfour.com. I'll finalize the time once I speak with the owner. PM me your t-shirt size (even if not attending but just want one) and dinner selection if you have not. See post #1 for details. CU in April
Fourtillfour has a good C&C every first Saturday of the month. The Mayo C&C has gotten so big that Nico's at fourtillfour is much nicer. Lots of interesting stuff shows up with majority AC'ed. Have taken the 914 a couple times and occassionally another 914 will show up.
Even ran into Jeff Qwart at the C&C during auction week!!

6 weeks away. Get your reservations (see post #1 for details).
I PM'ed those that I don't have t-shirt size and dinner choice for, please respond unless you want an XL t-shirt and steak. I'm going to have PMS order the shirts in a week. There will be a few extras but I have no idea how many.
I'll be driving from 4til4 (aka356) Coffee to PMS for the 9AM tour on Friday morning. I'll leave the coffee shop around 8:30. 4til4 is in Old Town Scottsdale about 6.5 miles from PMS and a nice Porsche-themed cafe with good coffee. They only have cinnamon toast to eat so plan accordingly.
If your name is listed on Post #1 and you are not attending please let me know so I get an accurate count for dinner on Saturday.
I'm going to pre-drive the first day in the next week or so since I've never been on some of the roads and hopefully find a spot to stop for lunch somewhere near the Hot Shots Memorial...more info to follow.
Cheers
I have some good news, and I have some bad news. . . . 
The good news is . . . the remodeling progresses at the Monte Carlo Casino. More new bars are opening soon. (I am not enjoying the Primrose Bar) I have been offered a position at the new Money Line Sports Bar. We open in the next few weeks.

BBQ at Will's is 5 weeks from today. See Post 1 for details...
I am working with Cary on getting the Micro Squirt in my car so I can drive it at all altitudes The goal at this point is to make it to this event and then to LA Sunday morning for Luftgekühlt. Looking forward to seeing you guys. Jamie let's figure out the trip down. Any other NW teeners want to join?

I'd be happy to bring one of the ladies, since I currently don't have a road trip car
Maybe I can borrow the Bimmer that's been parked in front of my house for a month waiting for the owner to spend the $330 on a WORKING water pump.
Or I guess I could go work on my car
Yeah I am leaning more towards flying out. Just don't think I am going to have my car ready in time. Getting a new cradle made to move my drivetrain back. Until I get that back I can't really do much else. It's at my wrench's shop now. Hoping his fab guy can bust out a cradle quick. With my luck he has a 2 week wait . I have to admit if I fly out I won't miss the 35-40hour drive down

FYI the traffic on I-10 through Phoenix starts to suck around 3PM. If you're arriving around that time it will suck less if you take the 101 north from Glendale (AZ) all the way around PHX to Scottsdale.

Sounds good. I could meet up with you guys on the 10 at Banning. Hopefully meet up there around 9am. A quick stop for lunch along the way that should get us there around 2.
Well.....the old 1/2 ton GMC tow vehicle just took a crap.
So....I finally bought a new one! F250 Super Duty with the 6.2 V8. I can pull a freakin house now.

I'll be staying in Palm Springs on Wednesday the 18th and depart on the 19th. Let me know when you all leave Banning and I'll try to keep up.
When I roll out to drive somewhere like Phoenix I usually leave EARLY.

Was at Patrick Motorsports today, went over final details on the meet and greet at his shop. Confirmed he will be there as it’s the same dates as the 3 day Calif Speed Festival at Fontana Speedway.
Oh yeah, car back in his shop for chip, dyno testing and maybe a couple more mods...
My plan is to fly into Phoenix, pick my car up and drive to Mikes house.

Repeat Offender: Where in Banning would be a good place to connect? Handley's? One of the outlet stores? The casino? Other?
Actually, all the places I listed are in Cabazon, but that's just the next exit down the road from Banning.
