Latest forecast (1pm Friday) is no rain for Sunday, so back to plan 'A'.
Please understand that this is their run, but all are invited to tag along.

Run will start from TRE No Hollywood 8am ish.
I won't be there, but will be at first stop, Gelsons Calabasas 9am ish.
Twisty tour from there, TRE will provide route.
Pack your own picnic lunch and beverages!!
Lunch location is Tapia Park on Malibu Cyn/Las Virgenes

In case it does rain, we can go back to my place.

Please check Link for latest updates.

I'm all for running our own way. Some of those guys took things a little TOO seriously last year. A certain MINI driver comes to mind. But I'll go along either way.

There was also this M3 which Slits was not going to let go of............


Oh...it wasn't racing.....it was "spirited driving"

I've never done this run and TRE is fairly close to me, so if I can get the car into street attire before then, I plan on being at TRE at 8. Hope to see you guys somewhere along the way. Hopefully, not with flashing blue lights parked behind you. Is Slits going?

I am not fixing the pushrod tubes leaks so I can "blind" the blue meanies with oil all over their windshields.

At least you waited until you got to the straightaway, and dind't insist on passing through blind corners on Mulholland.

I'll probably go with the TRE group. we were just talking about it yesterday. I've done the run with this group several times, it's fun.
It's really fun when your stock 2.0 914 is sticking right on the ass of a 50K Ferrari and the guy gets out of his car to come back and see what engine you have...

Doesn't matter. Make a decision so we got a route. I'm looking forward to being sober for this one.

thanks for the compliment howard

I've done the TRE run before and it's a good one. This year we'll be in Mammoth so drive safe and avoid the radar y'all...

Hey now, don't lump me in with them ugly-bumpers



So, are we taking our own route to meet at TRE, our own route south? Following the pack? (or, passing them I should say.)

Nope. To answer your question, she's MIA. Too many issues/hassles with the ex, parents and kid.





Next!!!!!!

I'm in. I've got nothing planned for New Years eve, so I'll bust up O'dark thirty and join at least one of the groups. I'll either bring the Boxster or the RUF RGT.

That would be a pretty easy decision for me

hey Brad

The Boxster I can replace *if* something happens.. I cannot replace the RGT.. much less have the nose painted if I scuff it

The Boxster doesnt have a soft top anymore.. could be a chilly ride up..


B

Baring weather issues, I'm going

Count me in Howard! (9:14AM at Gelsons). Hey , somebody bring some donuts... Will try to get Linda to come...she misses you Howard!

[delurk]

Here is an idea of what you can look forward to. I'm sure it's much bigger now since this was a few years ago.

I'm going to take my ugly-ass 914 that handles really good just to deprecieate the value of those real Porsches.

Check the weather. Could be the first time in 50 years that it rains on New Years Day.

Well, the latest on the news is that Sunday will be clear. Subject to change, of course, and the roads will be damp, at least.

Unless it's raining hard, I'll be at Gelsons around 8:30. So pack a picnic lunch, we'll go on the run or at worst go back to my place, tell bad jokes, and wrench or watch movies. Somebody bring CV joints and rear wheel bearings. Moby is howling and I'm not sure what the problem is.

You live in a tepee.

Maybe Jay is up for brunch...


Thanks Howard...

Didn't think of that. It is coming from the back end...

Hmmmmmmm....

1.) Lack of gear oil in the tranny

2.) Intermediate plate bearing taking a Sound would possibly change with changing gears

3.) One of the wheel bearings going south Sound would change with speed, but not with gears.

4.) CV joints would make a clicking / clunking sound mainly on turns, but if bad enough, most anytime

If you don't have the **gasp** Porsche tool for the wheel bearings, you don't want to try and change them just before a fun run.

CV joints would be easy...swap the entire axle

901s do not like V8 power, but you already know that. I have a G50/G64, rebuilt, but the installation would require that you sell your house, Suzi, Atilla and your body (which no one wants anyway).

And the latest update from PP, lunch at Dukes on PCH. Stay tuned..

Duke's

Dukes sucks...

Kelly says her first New Years resolution to be more adventurous,
so I said "wanna get up at 5am and go on a porsche run?"


we're coming, as long as i get my car in satisfactory running condition by then.

no 5 bolt or new exhuast most likely, but the valves should be adjusted by then.

8;30

Gelsons on Ventura in Encino?

Gelsons on Mulholland in Calabasas.

Boing. Some changes, go to first post.

I put my street tires on, license plates, windshield wipers. I even put RainX on the windshield. So if it's not raining at 7am I'm good to go. We're having company for New Years Eve so I expect to be a little crisp around the edges.
Howard, (knower or all things), where is Tapia Park? And are there any fees to get in?

Andy, go here and enter tapia park.

Then you can try TRE, Duke's Malibu, etc. It's a miracle!

Who knew Parks had addresses and phone numbers? It really is a miracle.

Its raining in Ojai............. (top on, rain tires on, check wiper blades...good to go!)
