+DD, most likely.

Shit! I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it in my car. I was just driving around and a loud noise just started happening as mentioned in my post. I'm really worried about the car, so I don't think I'll be able to make it for the breakfast on saturday. Sorry guys.

James, I intend to arrive early but unfortunatly can't stay for breakfast. I need to be in Cupertino at 10:00am.

See you in the lot for coffee.

You folks do realize you don't have to show up in a 914, right? I showed up in my CRX for years... Might even do it again for this one, though due to logistics (which car is parked where) rather than car problems.

--DD

Yeah, but Dave, you had a special exemption, right.....I mean that was the understanding....

On second thought, not sure if I'm up to it - I'll likely have the only 914 in attendance - what fun is that?

I'm supposed to meet up with McMark and we'll drive down in his hoopty mobile I'm guessing....

I got a mental image when I read that.




Fiid, I wanna see your car. If you're not bringing it then speak up now (please)

Looks like I won't be able to make it after all.

I got stuck with the weekend pager at work. Have fun. Maybe I'll be able to drive the teener to the next one.

Which one am I and which one is Mike? I can't tell.

Fees SHAWTY, fees.

You're on the right (with the hair)

It's looking like there are no barriers to bringing the car.

I did loose my little silencer insert jobbie so it's louder than uh .. a 914.. but it's still quiter than anything made by Harley ever, so I don't think I'll get arrested for noise pollution.

I'm in, I can even bring the 914. This will be it's longest drive so far.

Hey Mike - I will bring the computer stuff with me.

Steve

Everyone remember to buy new wiper blades today!

i'll be a tad late, won't make it until 10:15ish ...

If you are showing up at 10:15 then maybe it OK if I show up around 10:30?

How long you'zall planning on being there?

I'm sure we'll be there past 10:30. I have nothing until noon-ish, and several people seem to want to do a run afterwards to the coast. I'd be surprised if we actually sit down before 10, based on past experience.

Well then guess I can be there afterall

Weather looks dry for tomorrow - touch wood.

Ok...

That seemed very successful to me. About 16 people showed, along with 6 914s, and the weather was excellent.

Fiid brought his turbo Soob powered 914, which was running better by the time he left than it was when he showed up. Congrats to Jeff (jkeyser) for sussing out an ignition problem.

Jeff Bowlsby arrived in his fake LE "grasshopper" (as opposed to his real LE "bumblebee").

Most of the usual suspects arrived: McMark, DD, Mueller, Gwen, Tom, Jon. Nice to see everyone again.

I didn't bring a camera, but there were a few around, and I'm sure photos will be up soon.

I'm heavily biased on the location (I live about 2 miles away), but it appeared to work out well, so perhaps it should go into rotation as a regular site for breakfasts, along with the Santa Clara IHOP, and the San Jose McD's. Perhaps we need to find an acceptable location in the East Bay, too?

Agreed on the location (and I live in San Jose). Nice change of scenery, easy access to the highway, etc.

And there's another IHOP at the east bay side of the Dumbarton bridge I believe. We had eats there once when Brad was living in the neighborhood.

Great job James. Nice to see everybody but Andy, he never showed up. He's probably busy hugging his new engine.

Oh yeah, hugging......right

Almost 200 miles driven today. The things I do to enjoy 914s.

Awesome. Turns out the problem with my car wasn't the tach - it was dodgy crimping.... grrr.

Anyways - Hope to have many more breakfasts in the new year with runs attached to them

Here's some pics: This is Jim's car - he had his paint and body done in TJ, and it looks awesome.

People standing around - like 914s on jackstands. Probably talking about 914s on jackstands too

More porn from TJ.

tj tj tj. The car looks awesome, and we could have 4 paintjobs for the cost of an equivalent US one.....

jon'n'jim

Bowlsby's grasshopper...

Bowlsby is about to lay down some rubber...

Great time at IHOP today.

FIID reminded me what this whole car hobby is about - having fun with our cars. It looked like kids in a candy store while everyone looked on while the megasquirt was being tuned in the parking lot.

Some of the talk went along the lines of "I love the K-jet system" ---- "yeah but K-jet is about as sophisticated as a lawn sprinkler" --- "that's why I like it" --- "most of us like these old cars because they don't have computers in them and look at that" (points at FIID's laptop)

I loved it.

When is the next one????

Next month . Now my car is running I want to make sure these things happen - we have a really cool group of people here in the bay area - let's make sure there's plenty of opportunities to hang out!

Yes!!!

Fiid, thanks for the kind words about my car and for the great pics... It was great to see everyone...if you haven't been to one of these gatherings you're missing out.

Welcome to Ed Davila....and his most excellent 1973 1.7 Zambezi car...

And the Fiidmobile.. .

I agree, welcome, we need more Zambezis.......

I'd sell it all for a chin. I mean look at me, I must be part Pug!

Too bad they don't have that Extreme Makeover show anymore.

Whoops, sorry Jon.

Your mouth works, doesn't it? OK, so no complaints.

You could do something about that hair, though. Borrow a little from Mark?

What, like I have any extra?!

I need every piece I have for the Fabio look-a-like contests. I'm a national champ!

thanks for putting this together James....

even without a 914 to drive the breakfast, it is still a joy to kick tires and admire/make fun of other 914s and thier owners

Fiids car sounded pretty darn good once he figured out the little electrical glich....at idle the car was not loud, yet it had low frequences that actually made it feel like it was shaking the ground...very cool

cannot wait till you sort it out and start giving demo rides.....

I think the location is GREAT. And I live about 2 mins from the other IHOP! I think a rotation between 2 or 3 locations would be terrific.

I leave it to others to decide on an East Bay location. I'd say somewhere in Berkeley or E-ville would be ideal, perhaps as far south as San Leandro. Combined with Foster City and Santa Clara, that should cover the bases very nicely for a regular gathering, plus some special meets 1-2 times per year in, say, Napa so McMark and Trekkor could show up w/o having to drive over 100 miles.

Trekkor doesn't show up unless there's timers, cones and flags involved.

Jen, are you saying that Trekkor is a "one'' track'' pony?"
