Wifey, 914 and I would like to attend but probably won't know 'till a few days before hand if I can get off work for that weekend. I'm scheduled to work every Saturday, so w/e long events are very difficult to attend/participate in. Do you have any idea when the cutoff date for reservations might be?

I can't wait! Please don't make the poker run so hard like Sean did a couple of years ago. See you there.

Thanks Doug

The club will do everything we can to help you out.

Admins: We need a FFC banner for Doug.



B

we will be there

Please attend this event

The FFC was orginally put together by "Seanery" and was a HUGE success the first year!! Even my mom and sister showed up to the event!!

Doug is a great person with a wealth of knowledge.

For the first year I suggested to Sean: Do a Brown County fun run.. this is what my father used to do with a "Van" club from the "Circle City" I recall going to Brown County state park as a VERY young child. Attending the first FFC was awesome for me. I had the chance to meet "Engman" and discuss future 914 products with him. I got to meet Sean/Doug/Garold... and many many others. The Indy group is awesome.

PLease consider this event for this year. Maybe next year the club can help out with gifts and such.



B

Yep remenber the first one well - I gave Brad 1 of 2 special pedal boards....

Talked about the inner longs (hence the kit) and talked about the fuse panel and one other item.

God that was goooooood.


Many people have benefited from the talks we had.

Those were good times.

More to come!


Be there!

M

I can count about 20 or so people on this BBS who have benefitted from my "talks" on what would sell and what wouldnt.


I'm happy to be involved "indirectly"

The bottome line is: the 914 people benefit.




B

Hope to make it!

You know what would sell?

Targa Windshield Seals

Still trying to arrange things so I can make it.

Got to get a little more work done on the car too.

I and the woman plan to be there

Admins - would you please nail this thread..


M

I am planning to be there, just have to request off from work.

Sean's poker run was great! Sandy and I won!

You comin this year Rick?

I was leary of doing strenous driving with my rust

but thats gone now

Looks like I wont be able to make it for the second year in a row...school....

Admins - would you please nail this thread..


M

I'll be there! Already asked off for that Friday and everyting. I think Dad will be there as well.
Later,
Bert

This definetly needs to be nailed. BTW, do you guys want a 914club banner for the event? I have one if you want it.

We get no respect! Everyone knows 914's don't belong here!







M

COOL!!!

Nailed and a banner

I wish we could be there but we will be on a Boxster drive to southern WI for the weekend. This sounds like a lot more fun.

Well folks I pretty much screwed up in getting the registration form generated, but that is being corrected now. The actual registration form will be coming out soon. For now, here are more of the event registration details.

The registration fee is $45.00. This will pay for a main entrant and a co-entrant. The fee includes 2 event shirts, 2 lunches and a goodie bag.

The registration cut off date will be September 27. YES, this is coming up quick!

I will try to be there, there are other events, WORK, that might take that plan and dump it down a dark tunnel, but my plan is yes.

Let me know where to send my $. I am working like crazy to replace the speedo, clutch and accelerator cables. I hope my clutch tube is ok. It seems to wiggle a bit

We had a great time last year, I'll talk with Lynne

Cynthia and I are trying to make a plan to come also. Just have to make sure we can get the kids taken care of for an overnighter. We've never been to a 914 event before. Well - not since my teenage days while working at Automobile Atlanta - but that was a loooong time ago.

do we have time for a tech session...on:

Installing Stock Heating System?

Just made reservations at the Columbus Inn for my wife and I. Now all I have to do is hope another fuel line doesn't give out on the trip up there. We are looking forward to meeting some of the wonderful folks whom we've only just "met" on this site.

I am so disapointed to not be able to attend...I have been watching for t his to be added to the schedule. I have a daughter in grad school @ IU & had planned to drive up for the weekend. I will be in NYC that weekend. Please let me know if you have any advanced information for the weekend date for next year.

Reservations are made for my wife & I.

Marty

hey whats the scoop about the inn?
How old am I supposed to be to check a room? I need a room for me and my partner in crime for two nights.

Am I going to have to perform a little social engineering here? Or am I goign to have to get lots of blankets and sleep out in the car?

BD,
When I called the inn last week, they told me they only had 2 rooms left for the w/e of the FFC. They allowed how just about all the rooms were allocated for "some car club organization meeting..." I said "That's me (us)." "OK" sez them. and then I get a choice of rooms 'cause I'm with the 914 Group! Make sure that you indicate that you're with the organization that has a block of rooms set aside. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone next month.

crap

Always happy to help Britt... your GF can stay with me and I will bring a heavy duty sleeping bag for you to sleep in the car

Ya know I never inquired as to what kind of room I booked (single double etc). Better be a double in case a buddy of mine decides he coming along.

booked

Robby has a post out there looking to share a room with someone...

Lend a brother a hand anybody

Registered tonight. Forgot to include my wifes name: Ruth.
One question: What is a poker run?

Al, a poker run is an event where you are given directions to a checkpoint at which time you draw a card from a deck. After everyone completes all the checkpoints, whoever has the best poker hand wins like $1000.00 cash or so.
