I'll try and make it. Depends if the boss wife doesn't have plans for me already.

Will be there around 7:45, have to do a few more things before I can get a beer!

I'm still at work. Looks like I'm not going to make it.

I am heading out soon

Me too! I should be there a little before 7:00.

So who is heading to the John Walker Porsche Swap meet this Saturday?? Here's the text off the CL ad:

"This is the ONLY Porsche related Swap Meet all year in Seattle.
Lots of 911 parts among other porsche models.

The Annual John Walker's Workshop/PCA/PNWR Swap Meet is Saturday, August 1st.
The time is 8am to 1 pm. The location is the Phinney Neighborhood Association lower parking lot, which is 1/2 block east of N67th st and Phinney ave N, in North Seattle. The address is 6532 Phinney Ave N, Seattle, Wa, 98103. Google that for a map and directions. There is no charge to sell or to shop. This is the one time each year that you can clean the extra stuff out of your garage and get some money back to buy new stuff. The more vendors the better. Vendors, bring your own table, tent, etc., or just lay stuff on the ground. Body parts, interior, wheels, literature etc, etc. it's all there. Porsche related only please. Any questions, call John @ jwworkshop at aol dot com."

For those new to the area, it's a really good Porsche only swap. I'm planning to be there around 8am (maybe just a bit earlier). We can catch a late breakfast/early lunch at a local eatery around 10am or whenever folks are ready. . .

Who's in??

I was wondering about walker's swap just this am. Last year's worked out pretty well for me.

btw. for those that might be coming from the south end and use the alaskan way viaduct be prepared for traffic HASSLES (i aways used this route)! pretty sure the AWV is going to be closed this weekend due to work on the north end of the battery st tunnel. i would expect south bound I-5 to be a mess also. prep work for the multi billion $ replacement tunnel that may never be finished.

Is this the same group that did the "Big Dig" on the other end of I-90??

'seattle tunnel partners'? a consortium of high rolling buck passers.

Plan to be there early, breakfast around 10 AM sounds good.

Im in.
Ive got a few bits I could off & need to come up for air.

I was thinking... perhaps the NW crew should take this opportunity to establish
our own tradition.
Call it the Nord memorial breakfast..?

We were also kicking around the idea of a annual Nord memorial run. We should talk about it as well. I plan to sell some stuff but could do breakfast too.

unsure whether i'll still be there for bfast. try and sell a few things and get out.i'll prob be there before 7. you have to be ahead of the traffic by an hour.

Looks like this is Seafair/Fleet Week. What will that do the the trip from South of Seattle - before and after breakfast?

jim, the biggest impact this weekend will be on sunday due to the hydroplane races. saturday will be a hassle due to road construction and later in the afternoon as there is at least a mariners game. perhaps a sounders game too. you'll be long out of town before they start.

Bump for those of us are no missed the details on the walker swap a thon

I just got the truck loaded. Got a lot o stuff to get rid of. Should I bring the 914 Fuchs??
Are you guys talking about breakfast before the swap or during?

I'm going to try to get there early enough to make sure all the other CSOBs don't take all the good stuff. see you guys there.

We didn't get a project finished today and now I need to work. Too sad

prioritize.

No posts in over a month..... What's everyone doing these days? Getting their cars ready for 9-14? Who's pulling the jackstands for next Monday? Any interest in doing a group drive/lunch or dinner?

I finally have vacation time AND a driving 914

9/14 and I'm going to have my car ready for its "coming out" party! Weather says sunny and 73 degrees. I don't have any work projects that day and my boss (Julie) said go for it. Now just need to figure out the right location.

a monday?

Yeah, Monday.....

If enough of us want to get together and do something, cool. If not Monday, then those of us who don't have anything going on for the 19th could do the 1st Annual Nord run? Posted a bump there today as well. Haven't heard about any local happenings for a while.

seriously? a MONDAY? like early evening in seattle? on a nice evening? i'll be in utah. as the weather looks good you guys should go to alki.

Parking is always a pain on Alki on nice evenings.

I know . Perfect storm when you factor in commute traffic.

Time and location is set. See my thread for the details.

+1 for Monday

Still trying to figure out plans for tomorrow. Anyone up for finding a relatively dry location with good food/drink? I'm halfway tempted to cruise out to Leavenworth to hit up King Ludwig's.

Should I put on the "wet weather slicks" or the "dry weather slicks"?

Jim, are you in for the GhostFish?

Cheers,

Eddie

Ghostfish got cancelled. Still up for doing dinner or something though.

Cancelled???? Threat of rain??? WTF???

Is Billy leaning towards the "Chees and Wine" side of life?

Cheers,

Eddie

Cheese, wine, beer, steak, pizza. I like them all way too much. I'm game for dinner. Anyone want to pick a place?

So no West Seattle meet? WTF....

That's what it sounds like but a possible dinner get together. Anyone have a good place to suggest?

I'm headed out to the garage to hunt down an engine noise. Still down for meeting up tonight. I don't want to be the one to make the decision on time or place just in case I get too busy or go for a drive far enough away that I don't make it back for dinner. That being said, if you guys would like to come down and help out/BS while I am poking at the car PM me for my address down here in lovely Tacoma.

Pegasus at 7ish?

Just got home and saw this. Damn work. I'm headed to the garage to fix a couple chips in the paint

Jim ... sorry. It would have been fun. I saw your post too late ... and I did not get my project finished until 8:00pm (Tuesday 09/15/15 deadline).

I'm there with you Billy. Work gets in the way of life sometimes.

Cheers,

Eddie

See the Nord run thread for Saturdays plan!

Pulling the engine tomorrow afternoon/evening. If any of you guys want to swing by drop me a PM for my address. Depending on who all might come by and weather, I may swing by the store to grab some brats to grill and beverages to chill. No 914 required.

I'm home for the next 2 weeks and then we go on vacation again. I need to clean the car up to deliver to Griots on November 2nd. Anybody want to do a Tuesday night or stop by over the weekend, I'll appreciate the help

Maybe Sunday the 18th or the 25th?

I leave on the 24th for yet my 3rd vacation in October.

PNWR get together.

I'm meeting with a new member, Jett, to deliver a swaybar that he is buying.

We decided to have lunch, join us.

Saturday, Oct 17
Elliot bay Brewery
Burien, WA

11:30.

No one for lunch?

anybody got a front valence they'd sell me? turns out that running your car nice and low and then backing up over a speedbump is a pretty efficient form of removal!

looking for std front valence (my car is a 72, but I don't think these changed until 75 if ever, except for the LE's of course). reasonably straight and rust free. I'm going to paint it so if condition is good, it doesn't have to be pretty.

I've got one. I believe it's from American International Racing... the 914-918 Model.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks, but looking for stock.

C'mon Kevin, you probably have 3 of these sitting around somewhere don't you?
