Room for one more?
I've never dropped an engine but hope to do it someday. I'd love to hang out and watch how it’s done. Plus, how often you get so many 914 experts in one place within driving distance?
I've had idle problems, the hoses on my deceleration valve keep collapsing, and I think she runs hot. It's been a while since I felt comfortable driving more than 30 miles from home. For this, I’ll push it. I'm hoping with this many eyes and ears someone may be able to steer me in the right direction.
I promise not to be needy newbie, and I'll bring beer.
I totally understand if you’re full. If so, I'll catch the next one.
Let me know.
Thanks.
Tom

As for Z, I have not seen him post for a few days, not sure what happened to him. Dont tell anyone, but to tell you the truth, he is actually a nice guy with a family and everything, what you see here is just a cover, he doesnt want anyone to really get to know him.

Scary.....

Small hands......Smells like cabbage...

Just go, already!
There's gonna be so many people standing around (drinking your beer) it won't be funny!
There's only room for three or four around the "patient" the others may as well help you with your problem!!

Grab a thermostat on your way over and make sure to take pictures!

Crappy news... I got the walk-through on my apartment tomorrow at 9AM; I have to be there at 8AM just to throw the remaining furniture away. I hopefully will be there before 11AM, sans Rhonda. But with Toast, Clayton's friend (forgot her name) and Aaron+Matt, 3 pairs of boobs should be plenty.

Thanks so much brian. Hanging out with your family was just great, and the kids in the neighborhood made me feel young again

Brian, you've got a wonderful home and family! We definitely hope we're welcome back.

I can't thank everyone enough for all the help and advice..
You are all welcome at our home any time... As long as Elliot can come to oversee the work. insert sleeping manager icon here..
A big thanks to twystd1 for fixing the dishwasher!! YOU ROCK!!!!! Next time maybe you can fix the washing machine!!!

Thanks to BJ for all his hard work. I think everyone agrees, he kicked some serious ASS!!!! The guy works hard...
Thanks to Brad for making sure everyone got busy, and for getting my son Kyle in on things, Your his hero...
Thanks to everyone else for tkaing time from there families and weekend to come over and lend a hand. Iasked for help and you guy's delivered.. In many ways... When I can do anything including drinking your beer, I'm in.. I will do anything I can... Pictures coming shortly. I have an Awesome video clip of Brad doing some stunt BMX bike riding

made it home safe and sound...

Had a moron driving a suburban try to kill me in calabasas.. didn't tie his suitcase on well enough and the wind threw it at me Great way to go from to to 914's slalom skills were put to good use, and i didn't hit anything Not so sure about the cars behind me, somone might have ended up starting a long night

Great to meet everyone, good grub, good peeps, and 914's, hell of a way to spend a saturday.

BJH

Those of you that left early missed Brad the BMX king.. He didn't take the ramp... Kids down the street tried to call him out, but he wouldn't give in... Here is a little clip of his hidden talent..
Can someone tell me why I am receiving an error message while trying to upload the video clip?

THis is classic..


THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You cannot upload this type of file

Everyone working hard..... Especially Brad Someone had to hold the chip bowl...
Albert, Brandon, Matt, Brad.. and Twystd1's ear...

A-RON... Hard at work. Thanks for coming over to give a hand. Great guy... :trophy

Brad and I left at about 9:00 PM.... we closed up shop and took off home...


I just have to thank to Bmunday for the eats and the good times. Dude.. you have an absolutely incredible family. Good Kids, Wonderful wife (and cute!!), plus a sombitch of a 914.....

Bri, you and your teener were the catalyst of many fun things today.

This was one of the best times I have had with the SoCal Contingent.

Was fun to meet the Bradster and find out he is even uglier than what Aaron said.

Saw Elliot Cannon actually get dirty when he accidently touched a wrench

Saw Skline half fall asleep through the madness.

Saw MattR actually understand for the first time how a screwdriver works.

Saw a man named BJ fabricate and weld his ass off... Amazing tenacity.

Actually saw Albert say something nice to MattR... (accident... I'm sure)

And there were many more people that showed up huge and participated in this wonderful ritual of helping another 914 owner out.

Bottom Line... 914 club members in this neck of the woods are some of the best people on earth.

What a gift......

Twystd1

Thanks Brad for checking the steering alignment on Kyle's ride..
