Joes Crab Shack sounds good to me.....

Anyone figured out a firm TIME yet

Also, How many 914s are gonna be there???

So--which one are we going to? Chesterfield or St Peters? I can't find any I-40 on my map. Found Chesterfield on map but right now I wouldn't have any idea where to go.

I figured on 7pm mainly to lessen the chance of people getting stuck in the bullshit traffic on I-40 and I-270. It can literally be a parking lot any time before 6:30pm....especially on Friday for some reason. So unless there's objections to the time, we'll figure on meeting there at 7.

I'm not sure who all will be driving 914's. Mine are still down, but I know for sure that Shelby (and maybe Randy [VERY nice green 914]), Gary and Dave all have fine examples of German engineering they might be goaded into driving there.

I hope they do bring them....I need the inspiration!!

Sorry--I missed the map link. I'm good to go. Count on two people.

Chesterfield is the one to go to Dennis.

Just ran a map.....Dennis!! You da man! It's about 2 hrs. drive from where you're at.


When you get to #10 on the driving directions (Boone's Crossing exit), you're there (see the "Joe's Crab Shack" link up the page for a more detailed map).


Marshall to Chesterfield Driving Directions

Cool Dennis!! Head count revised!

12, maybe 14 so far!

Yea!

We will have 6, four adults, 6 yr old and 4 yr old (reasonably well behaved that is )

Alrightythen! We've got 16 - 18 adults, and 3 minors. I'll call them and see what I can do about reserving a section for us!!

I haven't heard from Rich.

I'm not sure if he's in town yet.

I'm two or three depending on if we bring the teener or not

Sorry Kevin, my 72 is currently in hibernation at my son's place until I take it down to Shelby for it's transformation.

My wife and I will be coming in our secondary mode of transportation, a silver 2004 Sante Fe.

Bummer Gary, I can relate. I've seen Shelby's work up close, you won't be disappointed!!

Did you catch her flamed hot rod in the sandbox? shweeet!!!

I'll be there.... in the teener..... unless its raining or snowing, at 7pm.

Better believe I'm checking back here before I leave though..... the last STL 914 meeting was only 2 people... including myself, and only 1 car, including mine.

My wife will be pulling in about 1/2 hour later..... in her hot-rodded, bad ass, 1600 horsepower, 2000 chevy cavalier....... maybe she'll clean out the car so we can see the floors again--LOL

Yeah, I remember the "get-together" Matt , at least I got to see a real live running 914!


I called Joe's, they don't take reservations at that particular restuarant, but they're aware that we're coming, and told me to call ahead to give them a chance to make room for us....she said there might be a little wait, but assured me it wouldn't be long.......and "the checks in the mail, and I won't cu...... "

Add two more adults, we've got more inlaws coming with. Don't worry it won't be any of those "Chrismas Vacation" kind of inlaws!

Suuuure!

So it's 18 - 20 adults (depending on Randy and his wife), and three non-adults. I gotta keep it straight so I know how many to warn...umm...tell them is coming. Friday's weather is looking unprecipatory (if that's a word), so bring them thar poorshee's guys (and gal)!

Kevin, we'll be there for sure. Randy will let me know thursday. I think I am going to leave here early friday, and make a day of it in the big city. I will pm you my cell number just in case things change during the day friday, so we're not there by ourselves

Kevin,

I just received an e-mail from a John in Brentwood. He tells me he just bought a 75 last week and wants to meet other 914 owners. I told him about the dinner tomorrow and asked if he'd be able to join us. I'll let you know if he replies and intends to come.

I certainly hope Joe's has enough room for us!

Anyone wearing 914club apparel tomorrow? Anyone bringing Porsche related pictures?

Tell John "Hell yes he can join us!" The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned! I'll call them tomorrow when I get home and tell them to expect around 20.

I'll be wearing my 2004 FFC shirt (and a warm coat). I don't have any good 914 pics to bring, but I hope to take quite a few [hint, hint]!

My wife and I will be wearing our "Got 914" T-Shirts.

With my digital camera

... And my 914.

I know its cold, and the heaters suck in our blessed little cars.... but c'mon..... its only one night!!!!

We're on our way. Kevin you have my cell, call if anything changes.

914 sighting!
I-270 West bound from Troy IL!

Oh wait that's me

On my way

Callin' in the alert to Joe's.

FYI - (which won't do you much good if you've already left unless you're wireless), my wife's cel is: 314-306-7596 if anyone has problems, or gets lost.

See ya there!!

Let me be the first to say what a great time we had tonight at Joe's. My wife Cyndi and I met some new friends and enjoyed the chance to talk to you all.

Thanks to Kevin for arranging the evening with Joe's

Looking forward to the next get together.

Great people,great conversation,and great food.Can't ask for much more than that!!! It was sooo nice to meet everone I hadn't met before.We will definitely have to do it again!!Ditto on the thanks to Kevin

Please allow me to "third" that as well. My wife was TERRIFIED to go to a "car" event... but she had a great time meeting everyone.... so did I.

And I might as well be the first to say it... cause I KNOW it's gonna be brought up....... YES.... I locked my keys in the car...... in the ignition, and had to call a locksmith.

Nevertheless, we waited at Shake + Steak for about 30 minutes, the locksmith showed up, and popped open the teener with no problem, and we went on our merry way

Go ahead... blast away.... what kind of a dumbass locks his keys in the 914....... at his first 914 event??? LOL

Anyway.... lets see some of those pics!!!!!

Thanks again everyone!!! Had a blast!!!

Matt

Glad you got your car unlocked Matt, I really felt bad about that....it was really my fault....kinda, sorta

Well the Air Force came through! Dave and Matt brought their 914's, and Shelby brought one of her beauties [VERY sweet tail-dragger]

Met some really great people tonight, and I look forward to seein' ya'll again before too long! Perry mentioned something about getting together down in TN ....sounds like a plan!



Well, my camera batteries are dead , and I'm dead tired, so I'll have to post the pics I got tomorrow when both of our batteries are recharged.

Matt- I'll PM you about the heater blower, would have come in handy tonight for sure!

Had a great time! Thank you all for showing up
I didn't take many but here's my first of Matt's ride

Matt,

Don't feel to bad about locking your keys in your car, it's happened to all of us. I did the same thing years ago;
keys in the ignition, radio blasting, motor running! A
co-worker brought it to my attention about a half hour
later.

Oops wrong picture

This ones better! This is Matt's car and:

Shelby not hearing, Perry not seeing, and Kevin not speaking of the evil key incident.

Matt,
At least you had a warm place to wait!
We got home and my son had locked the door from the garage to the house

It took us twenty minutes in the cold to wake his teenage butt up

Guess it's time to put a house key on that key chain.

So how did the locksmith break in?

I thought I had more than I did..(too busy bullshitting).

From left to right:

My wife Vicki, Dave's wife Kim, Dave (standing up), Matt and his wife Sherry (hope I spelled it right).

Buddy (Shelby's father), Shelby, and Perry.

Nice pic of Matt's green machine (securely locked to prevent theft )

Dave's beautiful silver car.

And Shelby's slant-nose tail-dragger .

She'd have to give you the specifics on it.

Good to see old friends and meet new friends. Linda and I had a great time. We wish the weather was better so we could look at the cars but maybe next time. Some ot the happy campers!

Actually...... my wife's name is Janet, not Sherry---LOL

You owe her a beer now

In response to the "method" the locksmith used..... just a long, stiff wire through the passenger side upper-rear door jam, pulled on the door lock, came right open.

For the 3 pranksters that took pics of my car..... bite me--LOL

And thanks for the close up with the cigarrette..... as if I could feel any worse---LOL

Thanks all!! Had a great time!
