I just booked my room. They're very nice.

You are actually paying for a room and not sleeping in the parking lot? I see when you roll with Clay you roll first class.

Pam

..

Drive all night, stop to rest in a parking lot for a couple of hours before moving on... never hear the end of it. Sheesh.

Seriously, why spend 50-100 bucks to get two hours of rest and then move on?

What about Charlie & Terri?

Where are all of you OKC guys? ...... Where?



..

When I booked the room she said they were going fast and it would be a busy weekend, just FYI...

Rusty -

This might be just the ticket...

See the note on my car above...


Charlie and Teri are not coming. Charlie still has not replaced the clutch in his 914.

And why don't you fire up the Bumblebee and come join us????? It is only a 9 hour drive!

Or.... you could grab a flight down here that Friday, drive up with Lawrence and us, have a relaxing and wonderful time with the whole crazy bunch, drive to Alabama with Lawrence, then hop a flight home?!?!?!?!


We just got back from a memorial service for somebody who died way too young.... life is too short to pass up any fun stuff that comes your way!

"life is too short to pass up any fun stuff that comes your way!"

Amen!!!!!!!!!!

Ha!

Spoken like a true child of the sixties...

And don't bogart that... oh nevermind...

Pam, fly on down and love the one you're with...


dang... i need to update my avatar Scotty...


..

id come. im in yukon oklahoma just outside of OKC but my cars outta commision atm. got a stubburn cv joint and the FI is all taken apart.

maybe someone call me when you pass by so i can snap few pics?

405 264 3499

(zac)

I can fix the CV, but I'm not an "FI" person.

Drive what you got. This ain't fuggin San Rafael...

If you have a teener, you must have a daily driver...

Besides, we're not going thru Yukon anyway...

If you're serious, call me (M: 615-9000)

We'll hook you up somehow...

..

Looks like I've got an extra seat as my other half isn't coming with me. So I'd be happy to have a co-pilot as long as you're not squeamish about speed! :-)

Hey guys...this sounds like a great drive. I'd join you all but work is getting in the way of all my teener time. I'm gonna have to block out a weekend to take the 928 and 914 on a road trip with a buddy (which one to drive?). Maybe this Fall when everything is changing color. Even if I had the time a rear wheel bearing and cv joint(s) combo is callling my name! HAVE FUN!!

MUSR8 is going to be sometime in late Sept., early Oct. Should be in the Austin area. Clay is in the middle of planning it. (thanks, Clay).

Well, the time is drawing near...

(@ Pam's Hateful Hussy Diner)

Joseph,

With Sunday being Easter, are you sure the diner will be open?

I talked to them several weeks ago and they will be open.

We need to find out if Richard Fisher is planning on attending and bringing his pop-up and grill. If he is not, we need to start looking for an alternative. All I have is a small camp grill, not nearly large enough to cook on for 15 people or so. I do have a camp table I will plan on bringing.

Who else can be of help here?

..

I talked to Richard about this on Friday. He is coming up, and bringing his grill and canopy in the back of his truck. We should be able to bring a canopy also.

Well, it looks like David (my other half) will be joining me on this fine occasion, so I'll be leaving Dallas after work instead of with with Clay's Group at circa 3:00.

Anyone else wishing to caravan up with me (probably around 5:30 PM) please let me know.

Otherwise, We'll see you all there!

Doug

We be leaving Tulsa early on Friday and hitting as many wineries on the way to Talehina as possible. See you all Friday evening!

What is the weather saying this weekend?

Clay - Good to hear Richard is planning on attending.


Curt - Check out this winery... http://www.nuyakacreek.com/

I did a photo shoot on them for a wine mag recently. They have a rural location (you'll want to call and get extra directions from them) and are not fancy at all.

However, the dad, who is probably in his 70's now, learned to make wine from his grandfather when he was 12 years old.

They insisted I accept a bottle of their Eldelberry wine and I accepted just to be polite. Well, that was one GREAT bottle of wine! If you make it by, pick up a few bottles for me!

I haven't been too impressed with some of the other local wineries (not that I'm a connoisseur).

Hey, what am I doing talking about wine on a 914 list.?

Next it will be fine cheeses.

..

I will be there minus Heather - I will be cruising up with Clay and the gang -

STEP AWAY FROM THE TAILDRAGGER!

That's so funny I forgot to laugh.


No T-shirt for you Clay!


Of course, not one else get's a T-shirt either.

..

Hey Joseph, we will certainly make that one of our stops! Looks like we might be able to hit 2-4 on the way down. I make my own at home and usually have a few extra bottles tucked away, but lately I haven't had time to start another batch. We will pick up a few bottles for everyone to enjoy if they so desire... Proper clear dixie cups will be provided of course... LOL!

Can't wait to see this collection of teeners! FRIDAY GET HERE ALREADY!!!

"Clay & Betty, TX (914-4 & 914-6) (bringing wife's car as a backup)"


Excuse You!?!?!?!?!?

My precious flower of 914-dom was in our family LOOOOOONG before his pathetic excuse for a VW was!!! HMMMPFFFF!

More like his car is a backup for me! (besides... everybody KNOWS orange is better!!!)

Now wait a minute!!!!


I work on BOTH these cars.. If you insult one, you insult both!!!

Betty.. you have been hanging around Robyn Howard way too much!!!

Oops.... he was watching this thread....

That's not what I meant honey... I love your car too.....

Love you honey..... (my car might have a lifter ticking)... love you BUNCHES!!!!

Joseph,

For the list of attendees:

1) It's Doug and David in Der <howeveryouspellthatgermanword> now (Woo Hoo! David is coming along too!! Doug, talk to Travis and Robin Howard about driving up together, they're leaving after work too).
2) I think Reva (Fisher) is how she spells her name.
3) Mike and Julie Floyd said they will not be able to make it

Also, regarding the Schedule of Events... I know it's pretty full... but can we squeeze some time in for some official "Bragging and Exageration of How Well You Drive"??? Also, maybe some "Oohing and Aahing Over The Cars"?

Betty-
I want you to know that I DID NOT list your car as, and I quote,

"Clay & Betty, TX (914-4 & 914-6) (bringing wife's car as a backup)"

That is nothing but Admin Skullduggery with Clay putting words in my mouth, so to speak.

If he keeps this up, he may lose his 914 room privileges!

Anything else?

..

I did NOT edit anyone else's post.......


Had to have been one of the other admins trying to needle me (Aaron??)

No comment...

Here is our decal for this year.

There will be a small peel & stick and a larger one that will be the static-cling vinyl you can put on your car body (easily removable).

The decal is RED not PINK!

AH HAH!!!!! I blame Clay for the "Admin Skullduggery"!!! Just for that - he can wash his own darn car!!! (we need a car washing smiley). If I find out is was LAWRENCE instead .... I'll go put a speck of dirt on the dash of Princess!!! Clay! Tell him just how CLEAN I got the interior of her Royal Hineyness last night!!!!



"8:00pm Everyone bragging & exagerating how well Joseph drives....."
Aaaaaand Joseph...... I see what you did there!!!!



Thank you for doing the stickers again!!! If they aren't "pink", then they sure look like a "lightish red"... <smirk>...

Thanks Joe for making the stickers the same color as my car

Late change of plans. We'll be there on friday night instead of Sat morning. I hate getting up at 5am on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!

Oh... I see... when you said how well "you" drive, I thought you meant "me". So what you really meant was how "everybody" drives? Okay, I get it.

Although I am an awesome driver. Unbelievable driver really. Oh wait I forgot, we're supposed to wait until Friday.

The stickers will be BLOOD RED...

Curt- we'll look for ya Friday night, we'll go drag main street...
..

Yea.. I had to keep her from using armor-all on the seats, vinyl sections of the carpet, steering wheel and pedal pads. She thought it would be funny to watch LB slide under the dash the first time he hit the brakes hard! I told her that would be a really MEAN trick to play on him, considering he hasn't seen this car in 2 years!

Yet another change in plans... David got called in to work at the last minute so I'll be on my own.

MEANING that I'll be able to make it for the earlier convoy!

:-)

Ok.... HOPEFULLY this is the final plan.

Doug

I am ready to go. I just need to wash all 3 of the 914s that are making the trip. then we pack and leave on Friday...

I can't wait!!!

"Yea.. I had to keep her from using armor-all on the seats, vinyl sections of the carpet, steering wheel and pedal pads."


Awww man! Clay was mean to not let me pull that prank on Lawrence... it would've been FUNNY! I had it done to me once. There's nothing like the adrenaline rush you get from stepping on an Armor-All'd brake pedal pad that first time! You should've seen me beating on my sister for that one!

Hmmpf.... besides, it wasn't even Armor-All (I don't like that stuff), I used something much better! Even if I had done it, it wouldn't have mattered anyway because he has cloth inserts in those seats. All he has to do is wear some courderoy pants and it's like wearing a racing harness!

Lawrence; you should be impressed, I even put all the loose change I found in a zip top baggie for you. Normally, the rule is... if I'm cleaning anything and I find money - it's MINE!!! Of course, all rusty washers and bolts remain yours...


Tonight is scheduled for car washing and tiara polishing for The Princess!

It also looks like Josh Mitchell will be joining us...
He has a narrow Sheridon body V8 car...



Clay - Did he call you tonight regarding the minor tranny issue ?
I told him he should meet up with us over near your house and follow us to Mckinney, since he lives over in your neck of the woods -

TE

Nice....


No phone calls.. but I may have missed it. I was busy in the garage.
