just putting feelers out now. how does march 12 cound for a 9:14 breakfast?

dino says that cafe destino in bremerton is good. it would have the advantage of being right off the ferry ride for you east sounders. think of the photo opportunities with a bunch of 914s on the ferry going through rich passage...

again, i am just looking for feedback on this idea.

thanks

Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 1 2005, 07:03 PM

yeah sure, I'll be sure to drive the truck

Posted by: smooth_eddy Mar 1 2005, 07:59 PM

I might be up for it if this nice weather holds. Heck, I bet I would be the only 914 on the green and white monster. Eddy

Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 1 2005, 08:10 PM

yes. this is very important, how are the pancakes?

kevin

I would absolutly love to take the orange beast out and dust it off, but I won't return from biz trip until Saturday afternoon. Definatly my loss.

Cheers, Tim

I have a wedding on the 12th.
To bad, would be fun!

Posted by: Rand Mar 1 2005, 10:10 PM

I can't make it that day.

Feedback on the idea: YES! That would be sofa king cool. Thanks for putting the feelers out.

dino, you want to field this? i have never eaten at cafe destino, so i wouldn't know.

we could, instead, meet at some crowded little cafe on bainbridge island and eat small, expensive, wholewheat muffins.

i was hoping to inspire a visit to kitsap county. unfortunately i don't get to eat out very often (actuall never for breakies).

i hear the cafe at central market here in poulsbo has good bisquits and gravy!

is there any interest? thanks kevin, for jumping right in. if nothing else maybe you can come up, eh?

Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 1 2005, 10:14 PM

biscuits and gravy?

I'd rather eat the whole wheat pancakes and flax muffins on Bainbridge Island.

Posted by: Gobstopper Mar 1 2005, 10:16 PM

I'd definitly go, but I don't really have transportation since that telephone pole had to vandalize my car. Actually I do know of a non-clubber who owns a 914 and may be willing to go, chances are no but ill try.

c'mon, Geoff, bisquits and gravy is a great breakfast; it fills you up, and keeps your innards well lubed to boot!

Posted by: ablose58 Mar 1 2005, 11:28 PM

I'm interested

Posted by: red914 Mar 1 2005, 11:37 PM

kewl, Al. what do you think of the proposed venue? any other ideas for a meetin' place? i know very little about the south sound.

Posted by: Root_Werks Mar 2 2005, 09:25 AM

My teener will be under the knife, but my wife and I can take her 944.

Posted by: DNHunt Mar 2 2005, 09:30 AM

I can do it, but then you guys gotta come by my place and help me put the old 2.0 back in my car.

Could be pancakes in the morning and beer and brats in the afternoon.

Dave

Posted by: red914 Mar 2 2005, 09:51 AM

you make a tempting offer, sir. maybe that will attract more interest!

still waiting to hear what dino has to say about the pancakes at cafe destino. i wish i knew more about breakfast places on the peninsula. any other ideas out there? make sure there are flax muffins for Geoff!

Posted by: dinomium Mar 2 2005, 10:55 AM

Sorry, Shane Cafe Destino is great, but it is closer to the whole bran muffin type of joint than the biscusts and gravy... EVEN MORE brutal, I don't think they have pancakes at all until the SUMMER! ACK!
Dave, can you suggest a spot in Gig Harbor? If we are going to your house to abuse the upper garage... your nieghborhood has some nice driving roads as well!

The Cafe is across from Washington Narrows park wich could have some really nice foto ops!

Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 2 2005, 01:44 PM

i don't want to/will not drive to draindridge.

k

Posted by: dinomium Mar 2 2005, 01:58 PM

Not EVEN for pancakes?!?!! There has to be a greazzy upscale bran muffin panKAKE servin cheap eats in or near Gig Harbor...
That would be my vote!

Posted by: Travis Neff Mar 2 2005, 02:52 PM

You guys could head up to Shaw island and try to pick up on the nuns up there

Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 2 2005, 03:58 PM

Kind of tough for me to get two Saturdays off before April 15 ( us CPA types are booked pretty solid this time of year), but if I could prepare tax returns for two or three of you guys maybe I could consider it work!


The real reason I need two Saturdays off is that ... I'm trying to get far enough ahead of my workload to take April 1, 2005 off to go to the Lapping Day at Bremerton Raceway sponsored by the IRDC.

mmm... the only reason i suggested the 12th is because i can't make it this weekend. lame, i know.

and dino, what it this about wasteland? hmm?

if we could find someplace good in bremerton, port orchard, or gig harbor, we would be dancing...

Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 2 2005, 07:49 PM

Great Rich, maybe I'll run the Westy!

Geoff

Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 2 2005, 08:06 PM

Dino,

The best part of the IRDC Track Day is being able to ride-along.

I'll be more than happy to take you for a ride. Bring your helmet!

Soooo Sunday won't work??? Just a thought as the location has not been decided upon yet. I know a few spots in the Gig unless Dave wants help and company.

By the way, I believe the Nuns are no longer running the dock on Shaw Island.

Tim

Posted by: red914 Mar 3 2005, 08:49 AM

sound like of like saturday march 12 breakies, then off to Dave Hunt's to help him empty his fridge, i mean put his 2.0 liter back in. is this the deal? can Rocky make it after his return from biz? can we find a breakies place that everyone likes (flax muffins and pancakes?)? can dino get ugmo running?

these and many other questions need answering...

Posted by: Rocky Mar 3 2005, 09:01 AM

I can be around in the afternoon and would love to attend

Posted by: red914 Mar 3 2005, 09:05 AM

DAve, it sounds like you will have help on the 12th; is that good for you?

also, know of any good morning eats in gig harbor?

glad you can make it, Rocky.

Posted by: red914 Mar 5 2005, 09:25 AM

no ideas where to meet in gig harbor? there is always the denny's off the highway in bremerton... or maybe not.

Dave: can we bring anything with which to help on the 12th? or do you have everything you need?

Posted by: dinomium Mar 6 2005, 12:18 AM

So how many should we get a table for? Where has Jim been?

Posted by: red914 Mar 6 2005, 12:22 AM

dino! where are we gonna eat breakfast next saturday?

Posted by: DNHunt Mar 6 2005, 08:55 AM

All I need is bodies. I'm kind of taking a step backwards. Putting the old engine back in. It's nice having supervision.

Dave

Posted by: Bleyseng Mar 6 2005, 09:02 AM

You need it!! haha wish Miles could make it Dave to supervise you....

I am skip this one to work on my engine(s) and see if I can cobble the other motor together and have the 914 atleast run.

Got to find time to install those nasty anti-Mueller bearings.

Posted by: DNHunt Mar 7 2005, 08:10 AM

I gots a problem. I didn't look at the calender. I'm in class Friday and Saturday. Liver, Kidney and edocrine disorders. No fun. So I'm out

Dave

Posted by: red914 Mar 7 2005, 08:39 AM

that's too bad, Dave. i was looking forward to seeing your car and helping put an engine in. next time...

this means Rocky is out, too, as he was not going to be back from biz in time for breakies.

still hoping for a breakfast, though. is it time to counts noses, wait until later in the week?

Posted by: smooth_eddy Mar 7 2005, 06:15 PM

I was wondering if the breakfast is on or not? Eddy

Posted by: red914 Mar 7 2005, 07:37 PM

a good question. at the very least Dino and i will be at breakfast. we still are not sure of where. since Dave can't host his engine-back-in-the-car shin dig in the afternoon, we don't need to have it in gig harbor. i still vote for bremerton, because it is easier for the seattle guys who are coming over to make it. i am hoping many of the new guys will show up; there are several new names on the site from the puget sound area.

stay tuned to this thread for more details. we need to find good pancakes so that Kevin will come up!

Posted by: Rocky Mar 7 2005, 09:11 PM

Bummer I cant make it. Your right shane, I wont be around until about noon. Weather is going to be stellar this weekend...again. I drove the teener to Long Beach last weekend top-down wide open (no tickets) Great drive. Just a thought, we should put together something like that with less distance sometime.

Have fun. Tim

Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 7 2005, 09:17 PM

Smooth Eddie,

It was nice to meet you in West Seattle a couple weeks ago. Nice car!

Hope we can get together with both our 914s.

If you got the handle "Smooth Eddie" by the condition of your 914 ... maybe I need to change my name to "Rough Eddie". The condition of my 914 just doesn't conpare to your car.

The other Eddie

Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 7 2005, 10:12 PM

2 words. Family Pancake House. oh, that's three. port orchard. flipped batter, fried pork flesh, a glass of milk, a cup-o-coffee and i'm all set. can i smoke? make up your minds already.

Posted by: zehrschnell914 Mar 7 2005, 11:01 PM

Hello there. Haven't attended any functions or posted much since JP Stein's get-together, but I will be traveling through Bremerton on the 12th and would love to stop in for breakfast (the more grease the better). Is this open to Portland people too?

Mike

Posted by: red914 Mar 7 2005, 11:08 PM

of course this is open to our fellow northwestern 914 drivers who happen to be from the south side of the columbia river!

and Kevin, it is not a matter of making up a mind (ok, maybe it is), it is a matter of finding a place to eat that everyone likes. pancake house good! i know where the one in bremerton is; port orchard you say? the bremerton one is just off 3 on kitsap way. and by the way, i got a haircut just so you couldn't call me a hippy.

and what did steve martin say when asked if he minded if someone smoked?

we need to get the new guys out, like fatlando, smooth eddie, etc., as well as the old boys.

Posted by: red914 Mar 8 2005, 09:26 AM

taking the 0735 out of seattle would put you in bremerton at about 0835, off the boat by, say, 0845. could make the pancake house in bremerton no sweat (5 minute drive, if that), and possibly even the port orchard pancake house by 0914. dont' know about the latter, as i am unfamiliar with port orchard.

i wonder how many we are looking at showing up?

Dino, i could use your bremerton knowledge here.

Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 8 2005, 11:20 AM

mind meld guys. fph in bremerton then? i won't attend if i don't know where to park.

k

Posted by: dinomium Mar 8 2005, 11:39 AM

FPH in Bremerton is a good choice. It is on Kitsap Way so if you are driving, take the exit for the Seattle Ferry of Highway 3 ...
From the ferry, stay to the middle lane. This will wind up as Kitsap Way and the Pancake house is on the Right side of the road.
If you go over a bridge, you have gone to manette and are soon to be hopelessly lost! Or come back across and continue west.
my cell # is 206.856.1785
I will be there!! If I can get Christine to get my tabs, Ugmo might be there too...
HA!!
Cmon out the Peninsula! If it is nice, I will lead a drive out to Seabeck and back! Windy and scenic

Hi Again 914Eddie...

Hey thanks for the nice comments on my 914. It was nice to meet a club member in West Seattle last weekend I am holding Saturday open to make the trip on the green and white monster for breakfast. I have a friend who wants to show up too. She has been a 914 owner for over 25 years, but is not a member (yet?). So I will keep an eye on this post to see where everyone is meeting. I think Genrex might show up too. See you all this weekend, Eddy

Posted by: red914 Mar 8 2005, 07:31 PM

this is shaping up to be a great time!

Dino: we should talk tonight and figure out a couple details. is ugmo really that close to being roadworthy? that is sweeeeeeet...

Posted by: fatlando Mar 8 2005, 11:13 PM

oh, and dudettes too, fer sure.

Posted by: red914 Mar 9 2005, 10:30 AM

family pancake house on kitsap way in bremerton has been alerted to our impending arrival, and will endeavor to save space for about a dozen people ( i will be in contact with them throughout the week, so as to update that number) on saturday morning, starting at 9 a.m.

it would be helpful if i could get some sort of feel for real numbers, either via PM or this thread.

thanks!

check this thread later in the week for a link to a map to the restaurant.

What a great idea. I've been out in the garage instead of on the computer. I would love to come. Just got my steel wheels swapped out, adjusted the valves. I have no skin left on my knuckles by the way. New vacum hoses. License & insurance. So I think I'm ready to roll. This will be the first trip, other than around the block, for me and this car. Keep your collective fingers crossed and I hope to meet you all at 9 on Sat.

As a consolation, I dropped by the Ngroupe Porsche breakfast and found this 2.8 twinplug MFI motor nestled in a fabulous 914-6!

First time I have seen the infamous 100 liter fuel tank in person ...

The front bumper on Phil's care is fabulous.

The rest of the car looks just as nice.

I just had too much to get done this morning, or I would have attended for sure!

Next time ...

Looks like you guys had a great time. Nice to see a bunch of new faces. I hope to meet them soon.

I spent my day in a conference room getting a puke and poop lecture. Nice to know your dentist can look at a stool sample and have some kind of idea whats wrong with you.

Looks like you guys had a great time, I worked on the Westy and finished the 914 engine teardown.

I think Rich had buckwheat cakes in your honor, Geoff. Glad to hear you got some stuff done. I came home and mounted the battery in the trunk of Ugmo and ran new power and grounds
Hey I could have blogged that

fph did a wonderful job of accommodating us. they kept on adding tables as people arrived. they din't rush us, kept the coffee cups filled, and the food was hot. i hope you guys weren't "cheap" 914 owners and shorted on your tips. i'm up for waffles there anytime.

Looking at the photos I see the license plates were blocked out. Is it proper ettiquette to hide license plates in posted photo's? Sorry to those I posted with plates showing. Eddy

In case you were wondering where we spent the day....

the topic of olympic blue paint came up and we wondered where the "olympic" came from. it's the SAME blue as the sky over the Olympic Mountains. the pictures are all photoshoped, it "rains" all the time in western washington. ann's car is a beaut. she's owned it since 81' and it the care and maintenance over the last 24 years shows.

Ijust do it when it is really readable and I didn't ask anyone... great pix eddie!

Posted by: smooth_eddy Mar 13 2005, 11:12 AM

Here is a Ann's Olympic blue. And yes it still has the original paint. She was going to put in on eBay last year but I talked her out of it. Eddy

Posted by: red914 Mar 13 2005, 11:23 PM

those are some wonderful pics! thanks for posting them, dino and eddy. wish we could see the ones phil took...

and as for the 9 teeners and 14 people at 9:14, it must be good karma. or rather, "car-ma!"

sorry about the very bad attempt at humor.

Posted by: Reiche Mar 14 2005, 12:35 AM

Ahhh, a beeyootiful day and a great time. I think I showed up at 9:24. Thanks for not kicking me out guys.

Thanks smooth_eddy for the ride. Nice to meet so many new folks. Everyone's cars were so nice. Gotta get Ann on here; what a car she has!

Dave, in your honor I drove my poop-brown Benz (visible in one picture) and I did have buckwheat pancakes for you Geoff. O-tay!

I'm glad this was a 9:14 breakfast. I would hate to try to make it to a 3:56 one.

Posted by: Michael J Mar 14 2005, 09:01 AM

Ok, it's monday morning & time to start thinking about work again. Saturday was great! The pictures turned out very nice and I look forward to doing this again.
The drive back to Oly took a little longer because I couldn't think about getting out of the car and onto the lawnmower. What a day.

Posted by: red914 Mar 14 2005, 09:10 AM

it was great to meet you, Mike. you had a prefect day for the drive home.

try to get out to see Dave (and Eric) at Triad West; they have parts, too, in addition to just being great guys and a wonderful 914 resource!
