Let's warm this winter up a bit! Come on down to the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! Family Donuts and Deli at the corner of San Juan Avenue and Fair Oaks Blvd. The weather has been nice! Let's get those cars out and give them a little drive!

Just two weeks until the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! What ya got? Bring it out and show it! The weather is great!

Anything closer? Say... Tooele??

Oh come on! Show a little effort. Bring all your wives!

Less than two weeks to go! See you all there!

See you there!

Come see the magic disappearing 914! (Mine) Finally off the lift and out of the garage after getting 5 lugged and new suspension! See you there!

Come on down to the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! Cousin Suzie should be there! Hopefully no one asks her to explain those hickies!!!

I'm in and Bringing my (formerly my mother's) 1974 marathon blue 1.8. See you there and hopefully more will see this and get out there

Great to hear! We should have a dozen or so...

My first post here. A local told me about your monthly GTG and I'm wondering if 944 Turbos are welcome or is it strictly 914's? Hopefully the watercoolers aren't verboten or run off with big sticks. We have a pretty active group ourselves with a monthly Taco Tuesday GTG at Rubio's in Elk Grove the 1st Tuesday of every month. Everything from 944's, 928's, 911's, 930's, 996's but no representation from a 914 yet. You are always welcome. We are just a bunch of P-car motorheads that talk shop and eat cheap fish tacos.

Let me clarify something. You can come to the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion if you once saw a picture of a Porsche Tractor and it made you feel funny in a spot your momma told you not to scratch. We don't run anyone off. Everyone is welcome. The owner of the donut shop has a Boxster for gosh sakes! How can that be a real Porsche! It's made in Finland!

By the way, you '44 guys are welcome and I would love to be the first '14 at your event...

Rob,

I was the one who tipped KuHL (Steve) off to our gatherings. I have met a couple 944 guys in the area since I got mine, so I'm trying to get them to come too...on a sad note, I might not be able to make it this month, GF's uncle is in the hospital and things dont look good, may have to make an unscheduled trip down south.

I am planning on showing up . . . unless the car gods see fit to punish me for my various transgressions!

Thanks for the invite and I will try to make it on the . I'll post a reminder of our monthly taco fest for you 14'ers also. What says 'other' Porsche owner better than donuts and $1.25 fish tacos? This could be an interesting Porsche mix, 'air' and 'water'...all we need to avoid is the constant threat of that 3rd element 'fire'. The 944/928 is known for fuel rail and fuel line leaks over the exhaust. Does the 914 have a similar weak spot resulting in flame-outs?

I think I've seen you driving around EG several times and I think you've spotted me also in my black car. Do you live on the east side of 99 between Bond and EG?

Brett,
That will be too bad. I picked the date for your availability! No problem though. Family is far more important than 'family'. I hope all goes well for your GF's uncle.

Bill has a white 914 that he daily drives. I see him in EG quite often.

My first p car was a '44S2. In fact, I know of a very doable '44 that is for sale on a mechanics lein. $2500 or so should take it home...

I remember well when the 914 was the 'everymans' Porsche and parts were fairly cheap. Then the 924 came along (not feeling the love there), and finally the 944 has now taken over as the cheapie P-car. I think the prices started climbing on the 914's when rust took it's toll on available rolling stock. The 944 is dip galvanized and more 'project' hulks made it through the rust years. Can you PM some info on that 'lien special' 944? My first 944, below, was an 83 I bought 6 years ago and I loved that car. Bought it for $2500 also and it was a real nice unmolested specimen.

KuHl,

I have seen you around. I live off of Bond near the fitness center (or whatever it is named). I look forward to meeting you.

Bill,
I figured that was your 914 and I must live only a few blocks away. My house backs up to Bond Rd, it's the 2 story house directly across from Mikuni's. Hope you can also make the next Taco Tuesday Feb. 2nd at Rubios, Bruceville and EG Blvd. I'll probably see you next Saturday if I can get a hall pass from doing home improvements.

Steve

Steve and Bill, now you are getting to the heart of what the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion is all about! People who see each other driving by becoming friends. Ironic you should mention Mikuni's because we will be having a special lunch edition of the Reunion at the EG Mikuni location. The IT guy for Mikuni is a buddy and he has invited us to use the meeting room!

Hope to see you guys next week!

There is a lot of very nice cars in this thread

I bet you like that red one don't you?

Steve,

I do live a couple of blocks from you. We are on diamond crest, behind the elementary school.

Good luck with the hall pass, hope to see you (and everyone else) Saturday

Come on down! Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! See you there!

Only a few days left until the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! Come on down and see the gang! The winter has been warm and dry and it gives us a chance to bring out the cars! See ya'll there!

Just a few days left! Hope to see you! Bring the car if you can, but most important is bring yourself!

A couple days and a wake up till the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! Time is so short we could dangle our feet off a dime! Are you ready? See you there!

Do you guys meet rain or shine? Looks like rain for the next 3-4 days. Just checking since I would have to reseal a small sunroof drip before driving mine.

Come on down to the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! We will meet rain or shine! If your car leaks bring something else... It's the people!

My little car is not even close to waterproof for now, but if the sun's out, I'll be there!

Good news via bad news... my gf's great uncle died Monday, thus the ski trip has been cancelled this weekend, which means I'll be there now...with my new toy (944) of course:)

OMG! It's tomorrow! See you there... Drive whatever. We would rather get to see you than that sorry bucket of bolts you have been trying to keep running...

It's about the people!

Evening before bump! Hope to see you there!

I will be there with my "sorry bucket of bolts", 'cause it's still running! Woo Hoo

Wow!

We had a hole in our menacing looking sky and the turnout was great! One entire side of the parking lot was Porsche only. Well... there were 2 914's and they are NARP...

Thanks to Jim Dupree, Bill Vogt, Chuck, Steve, A and Savvy, Brett, Val and Ginger, and I think a couple others whose names escape me right now... We had two 914's, two 944's one a Turbo, two 911's, one a '75 911S original owner, one Boxster...

A took pics and I will try and get them but for now I have to figure out how my 11 year old managed to write protect my compact flash card...

Remember, you don't have to have a running car. You could even have a tractor as long as it's a Porsche tractor...

It was nice meeting up with a new group. I learned more about 914's today than I've learned in 6 years. Unfortunately they share similar horror stories like the 944's I'm more familiar with. I would love a ride in a 2.7L version some day...that must be fun with the light body.

Steve,

It was nice to meet you and see everyone else again. Just wait until we get Paul to give you a ride in his 914 with a 3.6 in it... its on another level.

I'll see you next Tuesday.

Same here Brett. Hopefully we will see a few new faces at Taco Tuesday on Feb. 3rd, not next Tuesday!

I have this argument with my mom all the time:)

I say "next Tuesday" meaning not "this coming Tuesday"....so next Tuesday to me would be the 3rd:)

Someone, I think it was Chuck was telling me about a mobile Porsche Service guy they had used for something... Strangely enough someone today asked me about it. If it was you Chuck PM me or write the guys name and number here... Thx!

It was a great turn-out. A couple more Porsches and there wouldn't be room for anything else on that side of the parking lot.

Nice to meet you Steve. Taco Tuesday sounds like a blast. I'll have to see if I can convince the director of entertainment that it is a good idea!

For those of you Sacto folk I was asked to post info on another monthly GTG we do. Everyone is welcome beater or garage queen. Hopefully some of you guys can make it. It would nice to get one of every model someday.

Here's a link to the info:

Steve, Lets just start a new thread.... I will start it. We can give it a little tickle everyday to keep it in sight!

Thanks Rob, I hope some of you guys can make it.
