So Jeff, are you going to make us wait until after the breakfast to drive to Dunkles?! It's going to be a busy weekend!!

You know Mueller was going to drive down in the afternoon...maybe a seat is still available in the Vader 911...

I will be there in my BIG A$$ truck. No 914 yet, maybe by the February meet though. Definitely by the March drive.

-Chris

A photo of your truck parked OVER a 914 would be cool indeed Chris...

Why are we have the "north" event in Novato? I heard that Brad is moving his shop and everything to Redwood City next to HPH. Maybe we can have the "north" get together there.

-Britain

have you been drinking again? you're not making sense.

we are NOT having a breakfast in novato as you can see from the map jeff posted.
this is the traditional south bay Santa Clara location.
close enough to HPH and brad's new home.

so what are you bitchin about?
Andy

Now Andy, if you read the post in detail, you will see that Britain has simply read ahead and seen that the second, or February, 9:14 Breakfast is tennatively scheduled for Navato. I would imagine that because of recent events, it will move, perhaps to HPH for a meet, donuts, and a tour of the facility. (that is my vote anyways.)

-Chris

Andy,

I believe Britain was referring to the few breakfasts on the schedual for future dates

Stop breathing those chemicals while trying to find your vacuum leak

and how is an old fart like me supposed to read the kidz mind ???

yes, we should have a monthly (or even weekly) get together at HPH with coffee and donuts and all like the 356 crowd does at EASY.

that would be fun plus rich can give away all those old parts he doesn't need anymore.

Andy

but they make me happy!

(we need a "sniffing" smily)
Andy

That would be nice. Hey Rich if you're listening . . .

-Chris

Does anyone want to caravan to Dunkles on Sat afternoon?
Mueller?

I am staying in Manhattan Beach overnight but I can caravan with people going to Anaheim or greater LA area 90% of the way.

Jeff,

I won't be leaving the Bay Area until around 12 in the afternoon on Saturday. I still need to give Andy a call, we might drive down in his 914 as long as he has room for some of my display parts

how much stuff are we talking about?

At least one A-arm, one trailing arm and a few bearing kits...........

I hope to have the display done early so that I can drop it off at HPH to have Brad take it down for me, but just in case I run into problems.........

Mueller, Sat noon is what I had in mind. If you guys don't mind I could tag along. Either way is fine. Anyone else?

Andy...you need to say sorry...old man!

Mueller, let me know if you want to drop those parts off with me...I am going down to LA with Brad and I now live across the street from where you work (880 and Montegue).

-Britain

I get to drive the 914 there if I can fix the gas leak.

we need a flaming smiley.

I guarantee he would sell a lot more parts if we did this. And don't worry, Rich, you won't have to do anything. We'll get Britain a nice 914 apron and teach him how to make coffee drinks.

maybe an ode/olive branch (?) to Randy from RoadGlue?

Hmmm...not sure if I volunteered for this one. I don't even like coffee.

-Britain

You don't have to drink it. Just make and serve it.

Jen

Bumpity Bump.

Yes Keith you are invited too!

If anyone wants to bring any 914 item of interest to show and tell…this would be a good event to do it. I will have some/all of my 914 ads from around the world for anyone who’s interested in seeing them.

I plan to get there early so I hope to have the tables pretty much ready to sit down and eat at 9:14….don’t be too late…

After the breakfast, I will probably drive up to skyline drive and tear up to 92 - then over to the PCH and up to San Francisco.

If anyone has a more twisty route, I'm game.

Fiid.

Yea! I can give away my parts , as long as someone pays my bills! LOL Bring it on!! We can do donuts and coffee at HPH!!

Last Call! From the sounds of it there will be a good turnout tommorrow...inspite a the few who will be at Dunkels...

Come on out, bring something 914 to Show and Tell and lets have some fun...

jkeyzer, are you going to make it to the breakfast? I'll have Brian bring the WRX and you guys can talk about *other* flat motors.

Jen

Well... I was. But now I am getting a ride down to Dunkles with Mueller so I can't make it.

You guys can't have some pancakes with us before you head out? Lemme give that Müeller a call...

Jen

I'll be there...

I know you need to know this. I'll be there. (sounds like a jackson 5 tune.... )

I was planning on having a 914 there -- but reassembly will happen over
the weekend. Next time for sure!

kim.

I've got to pass this time. You folks go ahead and finish off the never-ending pancakes.

C

More stuff you need to know -- I have to meet Mike up in fremont this morning instead of brekkie.

kim.

For all those who couldn't make it yesterday...we had a great time. 16 people and 6-8 cars if I counted right, including a couple new local 914 guys and...Rich B's daughter Rachael. Rich is weaning her into 914's at a young age...thanks for encouraging the next generation in our obsession Rich!

Next months breakfast may be at a surprise location, different than previously indicated...stay tuned for the upcoming announcement.

Here are some photos to satisfy your hunger...

Keith Sammons Car...this beautiful Saturn Yellow 73 2.0 may be FS soon...

Pat Warren downloading some morsel of wisdom to Rich B...

Dave Darling doing the same....

Paul Smrz LED prototype...w/o lens...

and with lens...

Looks like fun!

overview

This is the only view most 'Vettes ever see of the Bontempi 'street' machine...

I'm such a rice boy. I really like how slammed Bontempi's car is. I want my car lower than that. Too bad it will handle like sh!it.
