Hey all,
This month is my birthday as well as Rick's (2-Oh) and our wives asked us what we wanted to do for our birthdays. Of course we told them a 914 party ! So it's official; Saturday, November 17th at my place in Santa Clarita. (For those of you who don't know where Santa Clarita is we're up by Magic Mountain only across the valley to the east off the 14 fwy).

Here's the plan for the drive;
We will meet around 8:30 and hopefully be moving by 9am.
From the 5 fwy exit “Lake Hughes Rd” go east. We’ll meet along Lake Hughes Rd. about ½ mile down on the right (In front of the boat yard before the hill)...

The drive will end at my house probably around 11ish. We'll be supplying the BBQ, food and drinks. If you're a musician bring your acoustic whatever. I'll have my quiver of instruments available as well so maybe we can get Clayton to show us one of those urban tribal dances he does . I do have a garage, tools and available jackstands if anybody needs to do some minor fixin' (sorry, no lift).

Here's my best guess at who we're expecting. If I missed your name or you are just reading this for the first time please feel free to come on by. There will be plenty of food and fodder.

Oh, and out of respect for the neighborhood, please keep it to 25.

Allan & company - Headrage

Hey Steve,

Do you actually have to have a running 914 to attend? Or perhaps some volunteers to push it up the hill to your house?

Andys

Andy,
I guess you have less than 2 weeks to finish your's...

Just bring pics...

Looks like my car will be ready.

I'm in...

Hey Alan it will be good to finally meet. I just called Mike D. and cracked the whip on him to finish your car.

I hope to have my car running this weekend. I am cautiously optimistic.

I'll have to check with the fairy princess my wife to see if she's got other plans

Her 914 actually does run Steve

Aaron...... That might also be the evening we are having the yearly STF
as in "Shop Talk Forums" dinner. (ALL teeners invited)

Ya wanna kill 2 gigs in one day???

And we can drag Craig with us so at least somebody laughs at our sick ass humor.

We can take the red or white quad cabs...

And I will see if I still have a half Kilo of Grape seed extract to keep the old guys happy..... (and piss their wifes off)

Whatcha think my brothu from aduda mudder...??????????????

Claytonious....

my car might be done by then....

just carbs and bleeding the calipers....

Guys/Gals,

In case you're *on the fence* about attending, Steve and Dawn are fantastic hosts. You don't want to miss this one!

Andys

I'm in- you are within AAA range . Let me know what I can bring. Looking forward to the cruise up there.

Jim

Anything interesting for the rug-rats?

I'm planning on coming, but I was just wondering about making it as painless as possible.

My daughter is 12 btw...

Allen,

My daughter is 12 y/o and likes Porsches, so they can hang out.

Andys

I'm in! Gotta tweek on the carbs a bit before then, but hey I've always got the back up Porsche

Anyone mind if I invite a couple of non-P cars along?

Hey all,
Andy & Allan bring up a couple of good points. You are more than welcome to bring rug rats, family and significant others. The backyard is plenty big and full of adventure for the pre-teens.

Mike; Non-P cars are welcome as long as you supervise and clean up after them.

Hey all,
Just putting together "the A list" for next Saturday. Here's who we got so far...

Yippeeee !!!

Mike, you gotta fix that oil tank leak or you will run dry before you get there...Besides, the EPA will shut down Steve's neighborhood...Remember the Exxon Valdes, well we will just call you the Mike Valdes...

Save the pelicans....

2-OH!

Hey everybody - Here's just a couple of teaser pics I took today. I did the drive with Rick to make sure everything is open. Meeting time for the drive will probably be around 9am in Castaic. BBQ at my house starting around 11:00ish I'll post directions this week. Hope to see you all there.

I am on the bubble. If I get my car running tomorrow, there is a chance I will be there Saturday. If not, it's not looking good.

I have soccer in the AM with my kids, and then I can head up. So if the pumpkin is running, I should be there

i replaced a tie-rod end, and was going to bleed my brakes...

then i puked.
Stomach Flu Blows (chunks).

Bouquet on a weekend is chancey; might get caught behind the fat old men on Harley's re-living their rebel youth

I was welding in some inner ear re-enforcements when Steve stopped by after his scouting drive. I'll soon post some photos of what I did. Anyway, Steve also delived some good news; a bridge burned out by the fires has been replaced with a steel constuction bridge, and will be open Monday. This will shorten my work commute by 15 minutes; Hurray!

Andys

Hi guys,
I am new to this forum. If I show up in a Miata and promise to clean up after it, would that be o.k?
During the drive, will some if not all of you be going fast through the canyons, or just a nice scenic cruise.
I hope to get another 914 soon.
Thanks,
Rick

Rick,

I won't speak for the others.....

But make sure you get you and your Mazda to this gig.....

More is better......

Clayton

Thanks Clayton,
Rick

Well did someone say car talk day?


+1 maybe 2. But only if I get put on the A list? Thinking of uncovering the V6 914 why not.

Aw Hell.......

Leamon is coming....??????????

OK.. I bringing my other clown suite... the nice one without the ketchup stains. Uhhhhhhhhhhh I think it's ketchup.......

Leamon... Louie Largo says hello....!!!!!!!!!!!

Clayton

Leamon, that 914 v6 is FAST and UGLY! you should bring it and show us what it's all about! FUN

see you there

One suggestion: I wouldn't park it anywhere near Brant's car if he were coming


'Run what ya brung' ...

Rick,
Rumor has it that Mike D has invited some other non-P cars persons as well so you'll have company. Even if you drive a Ford Fairlane as long as your a 914 fan you're welcome!

In regards to the driving; we always obey the posted speed limits and if you've ever driven the route we'll be taking you know that the posted speeds are sufficient for spirited canyon driving. I'm also going to designate a couple of re-group spots so we won't loose anyone. It should be too early in the AM for the yuppie hog riders. Besides, they all come the opposite way from Palmcaster.

I wont to be on the A LIST!!!!







Thank you.



Hellow Largo. Clayton can you still fit in the old clown suite...? eat drink, eat drink, eat drink.

Leamon - You ARE the "A list" leader! Did you really go and buy a Viper?

Watch it Bucko ...

Mark,
YUPPIE = YOUNG urban professional. Do you really think you qualify? Urban, yes. Young and Professional?

Definite "maybe" as well. Weekend of my mother's birthday so I'll see if I can dump the present and run...

Brando,

I have personally experienced one of your dump and runs.

Your mom will have to repaint her bathroom.................

Twystd1

ROTFLMAO X2

Well, now I'm totally cornfuzed ... which is it? ... Fat old men, or Yuppies

That's easy. Yuppies are now old and fat, but they're still Yuppies.

Local Route 66 diner has a Harley thing TWICE a week. They're all there.

Andys

I'm out - too much going on that day.

Clayton - Bite me Ugly

Sweet, I'll be there.

I will have to pass on the morning drive, but will limp on up from santa monica around noon.

want me to bring anything?

thanks Steve for planning
Gary

Since I got my shift lever fixed last weekend I am looking for any excuse to take a drive. I'am in!

Maybe someone can show me how to fine tune twin carbs after the ride.

Thanks again.

Bill

Hey Bill,
Hopefully there will be some of the best "carb tweakers" at the BBQ. If not you might have to settle for the "disciples" such as myself. I'll be posting details on the AM drive tomorrow.

Going to change the oil & filter in me wife's car tonight ... maybe get an electronic ignition module installed and transaxle fluid changed too (if time allows).

I keep thinking how nice it would be to finally drive a 914 to an event ... but then again, how would I know ... ...




UPDATE: 11-14-07

Absolutely amazing ... the valve train is so much quieter since I replaced what was probably plain old 30-wt. with fresh Castrol 20/50

Yippeee...

You guys are gonna miss out ifin you don't sign up...

2-OH!

Looks like I'll be there +1.

If I bring a timing light and a few tools, can someone take a quick look at my timing for me before we set out on the run.

Also, if someone could bring a carb sync tool, that would be very cool...
