It's been awhile but I've been a little busy the past few months. And now that I'm past my unending obsession it's time to return to another obsession. Hanging and driving w/ my SoCal 914 Bros. That being said, here's the plan. Meet and eat at my place then an afternoon run up to Idylwilde then on your merry way. It should be cooler up there if'n it's a hot one plus it's close to me if my car breaks down.
The Itinerary:
1100-1200 hr's - Meet @ 35450 Daffodil Circle, Winchester, 92596
1200 - 1230 hr's eat
1245hr's - Depart for Idyllwilde run.
The Lunch:
BBQ Chicken Quarters
Baked (not nuked) Potato's (Too late in the year for Corn on the Cobb)
Banana Pudding
Iced tea
***NOTE***
RSVP only, I need the head count. If it becomes more than 12 peep's I'll have to do Hot dogs because I wouldn't have the space in the pit for more quarters. Co-pilots are welcome or come alone. Just bring your teener.
We have:
Me/Wendy
Cesar +1
Collingreene on standby ?
Ravi/Michelle
Ben/Ralph
Olsib914
Id like to think my car might be running by then but i have my severe doubts.
Kent,
great to hear from you. Put me down for 2 people, can I bring anything? please advise.
Cesar
My car leaks to much oil and I must save it for RRC.
Kent,
Please count Michelle and myself. Let us know if we need to bring anything.
Ravi
I'm gonna be a no show.. Already committed to helping some friends out with a PCA gathering.. I'm bummed, this sounds like a lot of fun.
We see how it is. Don't let them know that you hang with us. Might cost you some points.
Got it. You and your girlfriend. Just so I don't embarrass myself at the BBQ, is she Ben or Ralph? . And yes it is a 914World member only event. I will make an exception for most topless dancers, however. Insert a Groucho avater here. One of DP's OG's brought his 911 once and we had to push start him in Borrego Springs. It was that or leave him and that pregnant roller skate out there. So the collective founders of Dawn Patrol decided that that particular incident had indeed been an act of God and that we being fine men of upstanding honor should abide by His decision. After all, who were we to question the Old Man himself? It was therefor decided that this had been a Holy event and it was thereby decreed a 914 event only, for all time to come.
I should probably tell you the rest of our rules, too. Wait a minute, there are none come to think about it. With the exception of this BBQ, we get up early and finish our drives early. We're usually home by 10ish. There is a small amount of spirited driving some breakfast along the way then back down the mountain. Looking forward to meeting ya'll and doing some future run's.

Kent,
It seems I have an issue with the 914. So you need to move the date for the run out at least 4 weeks, otherwise I can't make it! I went out to look at the car yesterday and it was dirty!
Sorry,
Phatnine11
PS: Are you sure I can't bring anything to the BBQ? And this post is to give the thread a bump!
914's break down? Really?
Got 4 spaces open or someone will need to eat a lot.
Hope to see you all tomorrow, hoping the teener can make it to Winchester!
We have extras if yours breaks down. I'll pm ya'll the address. I think Ravi and Cesar know but I'll CC.
I was really hoping I could make this, hadn't posted because it was up in the air... Bummer Post up some pics!
Met some new folks today and had a great time eating. Had some of the usual DP's and a few 1st timers. You might know a few of these peeps so here are a few pic's.
Ravi, Cesar and Ron

It was 99F and a trip up the mountain taxed my cooling system so I pulled over, plugged in the fans we waited. Then Cesar's car needed to be push started, Micheal's 72 with the OEM fuel pump in factory location did what? Yep it vapor locked. For those that say they never seen it, take a look. It happens. No problem. We all headed back down the mountain. We got Michael rolling and the air cooled the vapor lock. Great fun and thanks to all that braved this hot ass day and drove down. Hope to see ya'll at the next Dawn Patrol or G&R Flesh Roast. BTW, Ron is a genius. I offered him the key's to the 76 but he choose an air conditioned ride home in his Tacoma. Pure genius.
