Going out to our other office...might be a week, hopefully a few days less (business travel sucks, I miss my garage already )

That's in our neck-of-the-woods, write when you get in, great teener' weather here, NOW!

The weather breaks here, from the summer pattern, this week (always the second week of October ).

John

email Paul Anders dude, he's out there in that neck of the woods and great guy to visit.

I am going to be back in Yuma that week. Anyone want to get together for my birthday on the 25th?

Always up for a meet, greet and eat

Give me some date and I will work with the locals to set something up. Good test for the new az914 Yahoo news group.

I am in for and

Giddyup! I work days again, so I am in.

I am free that week except for Wednesday the 26th.

Let's pick a day and meet up.

Me too, any day that week works! With any luck, I'll have my car separated from its jackstands by then...

I'm currently available on the 25th.

That Saturday and Sunday is the Arizona PCA Region Concours, Charity Banquet and Autocross. The car show and concours is at Cave Creek/Care Free, AZ (just north of Phoenix). There is a party on Friday night and a banquet on Saturday night. The autocross is at McDowell Mountain Park on a road course. This is a really fun weekend for Porsche lovers.

P.S. The Club president and three board members are all 914 owners. So is the Charity Chair (Greg Robbins)

I would like the 25th. It will keep me from sitting in a hotel room alone on my birthday!!!


Where? Same place as last time? Or someplace new and different? I don't mind driving in to Phoenix a little farther.

Clay! Are you friggin nuts?? You have any idea how much a tow from there costs?

Just kidding, I'll go anywhere. However, where we met Clay last time he was here and Mesa are on complete opposite ends of the Valley. Just as an FYI.

Mining Camp

Just send me directions.... and a time to be there.

The 25th sounds great. Clay is driving all the way from Yuma, so lets not add too much to his drive. How about Sams Cafe at the Arizona Center. I can arrange parking at the Bank One Tower Parking garage for everyone. Sams has a great outdoor dining area (with heaters if needed). Pretty darn good food too.

Sams is at 5th Street and Van Buren, just off I-10, in Downtown Phoenix.

If someone would give me directions from I-10, It would help me a bunch.

Here you go Clay: Map

Thanks.

See y'all there!

What time should we be there?

Should we check to make sure that the DBacks don't have a post season game that night? Traffic could be a nightmare....oh wait, nevermind.

Phershuur, I'm gonna be gone....

Laurie and I are bound for the Fall Foliage Classic .

A long drive from here, seventeen-hundred and fifty miles ----ONE WAY-----

See Ya,

John

Would this be one of those events that we could use that "Yahoo group thingy" to notify everyone? I can already hear ol' Snuff posting the day after saying he wished he had known about it!

I would do it but I'm not all that smooth with that stuff.

Posted to the az914 Yahoo group.

By the way, it that fitting: we are now officially a group of yahoos?

Clay is making a long drive, so I will be there about 6:30. PM me if you are going to attend, and I will let Sam's Cafe know so they can set something up for us.

Clay and others: Take I-10 to the Seventh Street off ramp. Go right (south) to Van Buren. Go right to 1st Street, take a left and go a couple hundred feet to the parking garage enterance. I will grab a location where we can all park together, so drive in the garage until you see my green car. Every one else, enter off 1st street so we can all park at the same spot. If you enter off 2nd, you end up a level off.

Anyone with questions, call my cell at 623-297-4084.

I just booked the plane, car rental and hotel (Courtyard in Mesa)

So see you on Tuesday...

Great. I look forward to meeting you in person, Mike.

just a friendly

printing out all the directions I need right now....I screwed up and booked an airport 1.5 hours from my house...flight leaves at 6:40AM..needless to say, the wife pretty much refuses to drop me off at the airport

Call out to the Phoenix area teeners: email, PM, or call me so I can give the restaurant a head count. If you have already confirmed, thanks. But if I have not heard from you, speak (type) up.

623-297-4084

Count me in....... I might even already be down there that day, I work for Chase and have a meeting, forgot where)

Will be cool to finally meet you guys... 914 is of course on jack stands for the first time since I owned it of course..

Nic

Wish I could meet ya guys, but I need to go out of town early morning on the 25th and won't be back until the 3rd of November. My teener isn't runnin right anyways 8(. Hope to meet you guys eventually.

Zen

btw, at 630 down there parking should be pretty open on the street... but if you've got prevalidated parking from bankone... i'll park there.

You work for chase too?

I'll be there near 6:30. What is the head count so far?

Yes, I am with Chase Home Finance and based in the Tower. Head count is 10. Some of the regulars have not chimed in on this dinner.

Calling out: Gerard, Jason

Sorry not me. I waited to post in this thread until I was certain, but I am just too busy.

Thanks for Thinking of me though.

Guys....

Sorry to do this to you, but I am still at work, and I have had only 4 hours of sleep in the last 36 hours. I don't think I am up for a 2 hour drive to Phoneix tonight.


Hope to catch up with everyone at a later date...

Mueller, sorry I miss meeting you.



:sleepy:

No sweat Clay. Get some sleep. Usually a lot of helps.

Mike, it was great to meet you at dinner tonight. Nic, glad you snuck in there at the last minute. Clay, sorry you couldn't join us.

We need a 914 happy hour one of these days.

Thanks for the call out Mike.

We had six 914 locals show up to welcome Mike and share and .

Server talked all of us into ordering the Meat Loaf. Everyone seemed to enjoy it very much!

Lots of good conversation and visiting. Only two running 914s, but many jack stand stories with promises of "next time."

Clay, sorry you weren't there, but we completely understand. Thanks Mike, we hope you visit again soon!

Hey all,

thanks for meeting up with me last night, at first I was not sure if I was at the correct place...sorta felt like a blind date and that I was going to get stood up

That meatloaf was darn good...unlike everyone else at the table, I didn't clean my plate so now I have leftovers for dinner tonight

Looks like tonight will be my last night here in AZ, I'm hoping to get out of here in the morning, one more meeting at noon, then off to go visit Jim at Patrick Motorsports

Grag, your car sounded great with that header w/supertrapp !!!!

Mike W, very nice and clean car !!!!

thanks again guys, I appreciate the hospitality

Good to meat everyone...

If your 914 is running and you still want to tinker on one... let me know LOL
