Now that a date has been set, June 17th, and it seems good for everyone. I figure we could move this to the garage forum so no one gets left out.
For those of you who havent been to the other post, I am holding a little BBQ at my house with a little fun drive. Nothing special just a get together for the "locals" around here. I am thinking start time would be around 10:30am or so. Eat around noonish go for a drive and come back and just hang out.
I will provide food, but I ask that you provide your own beverages.
Hopefully weather will be good. If it is rainy I am not sure what we will do.
So chime in here and lets get a head count.

That would be a bummer Jim. But congrats on the gradution. Send me your address in a PM. I just got back from a nice little drive working out the bugs in the 3.2. It would be nice to stop by and see how you are coming along.

Hey Brian,
Sorry for the delay, but I had a few loose ends to tie up before I was sure. My wife Beth and I will be there with the 8. Really looking forward to it.
Looks like the crowd is growing pretty good. You sure you don't want to delegate some of the chow or supplies?

Brian,
My wife Helen and I are planning on being there. (barring an act of God) The car is not fixed yet but I did find a spare pump on one of my parts cars. Problem is, it is a front pump and my questionable one is in the rear. Anyway, if the 914 is not ready and the weather is good, I have something else I can bring that would draw some interest.
Looking forward to meeting you all on the 17th.

The list was made from your signatures so if your information is incorrect or incomplete let me know. I included real name and club name so you can PM other memebers to plan a caravan.

Just talked to the town board and it looks like I can close down the road for parking. Should have plenty of space now.
Also talked to Dave at GPR for some free t-shirts. Wooo Hooo.

My front brake parts are trickling in. Should have everything by this weekend so I am cautiously optimistic about having my 914 there instead of the jeep. (
