I know that we've been slacking on the breakfasts lately, but who can pass up a gathering on 9/14? (9/14/08 for you SB guys, even!)

How about lunch at the Tied House in Mountain View? Noon sounds like a good time for it.

Parking is easy out back, and there's another lot in front across the street if you are so minded.

Who's in?

--DD

Hey Dave,

I'm in. It is the same weekend as the Ventura show, so I wonder how many are going down for that.

Jim

Well, I can't make it to the Ventura show. I'm guessing there will be a few locals also not heading south--so they can celebrate in Mountain View instead!

--DD

Sharon and I will be in S.F. that weekend. We might drive down if our schedule allows. Tied House isn't my favorite though...

Well..... there's a Hooters here in Dublin...

Sept 14 works for me. Of course I am always looking for an excuse to go to Hooters

James

I should be able to make the Tied House on 9/14. Friday at noon will be crowded. It will probably be important to have a couple people arrive early (11:30 or so) and reserve enough spaces.

Demick

The 14th is a Sunday Demick.

Doh!! Thought it was Friday for some reason.

Take your meds dude......

Kylie and I should be there. I was going to go to Ventura but it didn't work out, which turned out to be a good thing because now I can see the bay area peeps!

I'm in. Can we do a run too?

There's a couple of anniversaries of departed brethren around this time of year, and I was thinking we should do a run in honor.

How about we meet up in the morning and finish up at the tied house??

There is a Hooter in San Jose/Campbell now too!



T

I'll go to Tied House. It's not like I hate it or anything so drastic. And I don't want to spoil DD's plan. No run for me though probably. We'll be in a rental ride and although this will be a nice diversion, we'll likely want to resume our mini-vaca in S.F.

Sorry, but I'm out.
I'll be vacationing on Cape Cod.
Hoping for good weather.

I'm in. Tied House is a good choice. I am also definately in for a run. Who's organizing that part or should I step in?

went to the grand opening...

I'm in! See you there!

I'm in for the run too! Where are we gonna drive ?

Jim

So Dave, are we on or what?

I'm going to be at the Tied House at noon. No run for me, but anyone who wants to set that up is more than welcome to!

--DD

Hydroliftin are you gonna plan the run? It would be fun to do a short run before lunch, but worse case I will run over Hwy 17 and have lunch.

Jim

I am up for a run!

James

I'm in, but I may meet you at the rest area stop in La Honda. I am coming from Santa Cruz area and may drive up the coast and up the hill from Pescadero. I will post here when I decide for sure. Thanks for planning the run!

Jim

Thanks for putting a route together. 10:00am is perfect. Will see y'all at the rendezvous point.

Jim,

We can modify the route a little to go through La Honda, and you could join us at that point. This would actually be a simpler route, and we should still make the Tied House by noon. If we leave the rest stop by 10:00 we should hit La Honda by 10:45 or 11:00.

Count me in for the lunch but can't make the run. Had a fun drive to/from Minden/Gardnerville over the weekend - got my full dose of fun on Hwy 88!
Later,

I can meet at the Tied House at noon. thx Steve

I'm going to try this again. Here is a revised route that will include La Honda....

Click here for map

Anyone who wants to make the fun run meet up at the park & ride lot in Burlingame (see previous post). We will leave at 10:00 AM or you may join us as we go through La Honda at about 10:45 to 11:00.

I'm in whatever the route. I think the first map I pulled up showed the route going thru LaHonda that is how I came up with that solution. Looking at the first route now I see you didnt really come close to La Honda.

You let me know what you guys want to do, and I will make it work on my end. Either way it will be a fun run

Hydroliftin picks the route and I will be there.

Jim

Yes, The route goes through La Honda. It is a better route, cause there are fewer roads to remember.

Can't wait!

Is there a convenient spot in La Honda for me to wait for you guys? Not like I will be hard to spot, I will be in the only 914 in La Honda until you get there

Jim

Well there's always Applejack's Inn. It's right on the highway and it's easy to find.

Ok, guys if we cannot find each other in La Honda...

Don't forget to slooow down coming around the last curve

ARGH! one more event that I will have to miss. I plan on having the 914 running in the next couple of weeks so I hope I can make it to the next one.

I know some of these roads very well. You guys are going to have a lot of fun!

They recently repaved the upper portion of Page Mill Road just after Skyline. Nice and smooth but narrow in some parts. There's a short, quick kicker hill on the downhill slope at Los Trancos. I dare someone to take it full throttle! After that, you go navigate two very tight downhill hooks. Do not run it too hot or you will run wide off the road.

Moody Road just off of Page Mill is seriously steep downhill and will test your brakes. There is a tight left hook at the bottom. After that, Moody Road is rough and has lots of asphalt patching here and there but otherwise straight and flat.

Where Moody stops at Foothill College, watch for The Law. The short road that runs around the college was also recently repaved. Dip into the throttle where the road runs up the hill and to the left to get the tail out and some opposite lock.

Drive safe!

I tend more toward driving safe than testing the limits, so if I am holding anyone up, please feel free to flash your lights or somehting andd I'll pull over and let you pass. I encourage anyone on this fun run to stay well within your limits.

Jim,

I'm looking at coming over from San Juan Bautista to make the run. Do you want to meet up and run up the coast together.

Ken Schipper

Hey Ken

Are you driving the six? I've been wanting to see it since you first posted pics of it when you bought it.

www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=56928&

Ken,

Sounds good. Looks like google says from Aptos 1 hr 20 to 1 hr 40 depending on if we go hwy 84 or Pescadero Rd. from Hwy 1 to La honda. If we leave Aptos at 9am we should be good. I live right off of Hwy 1 at the Rio Del Mar exit. Meet at the gas station on the west side of the overpass or at my house (1 minute up the road) at 9 am and we should be good to go. I will send you a PM with my address if you wanna come here.

Are you bringing the 6 or the 4?

Jim

Hello Dave,

I should be able to make it tomorrow. I will be bringing the yellow car, and not the white one. A friend of mine, might also make it. He has a kit car that is kind of interesting in a retro way... Has a porsche 2.4 six in it...

-- brett

Will be driving the 6. Haven't driven the four for 2 years now. Mabye time to sell it.

Ken

Aw man... I'm in LA for GAF. Sorry I missed this.
dug

Well, I thought we were going to make it, but my brother's truck needs a new headgasket so that has become the project this weekend. Have fun, guys!

What an awesome day following seven 914's down Page Mill Road to join several other 914's at the Tied House!

Thanks everyone! I had a great time!

Tom's immaculate Suby-powered 914.

Scott's 35,000 mile time capsule.

This is how an engine bay should look like!
