There's 4 of us fellow Rennlisters in the S. Bay that get's together frequently. Normally on Saturdays to Baby our cars. We're not getting together this Sat but they will be at my place on Monday with their P-Cars. We're doing a Major service work for a Bmmer in the morning than we'll be working on our cars after that. You're welcome to join us.

Jim's car is looking great now. Everything replaced and repainted. He also has new wheels which makes his car standout so much more. Be's car is almost done.Body damage has been repaired. Exhaust was completed but had minor adjustments needed so he took the car back to the muffler shop. I'm not sure about Dmitry's car yet. He was on a skiing trip last I spoke to him.

Dan,

Looking forward to having you over. We'll give you a hand with your Cooling sys flush. I'll e-mail my address and directions to you.

I always wanted to get together with a group of other Porsche guys (especially 944 guys) but since my car isn't running yet, I can't go anywhere with it. Well just so you know, there's one more Rennlister here in SF (very beginning of Ocean street) with a good pair of hands and a time consuming project. Good luck guys!

Beginning of Ocean??? You must be right by me. I live at Ocean & Middlefield. What's your cross street? You can't be more than 5 blocks from me.

You must be an SF State student i assume?

We should get together sometime when i get back into town. The California 968ers (on 968.net) are doing a "fun run" in January but other than that, i have no other weekend plans for Jan or Feb so far. My 944 is running and should be ready to be smogged, registered, and insured by mid-January. But there's plenty of work left to be done. Send me an email when you get a chance (this goes for you too Danc) at sbtoeniskoetter ((@)) usfca.edu .

Efren, what time are you guys getting started? I'm in Saratoga now, and can stop by for a bit before heading back down to S.B..

Hey Danno,

We'll probably start @ 10:00 am. We'll be installing the rear valence on Ben's car. I'll pm you with my address.

Is it warm? Can I join you?

I wonder if I could get a flight out- the airport here is up to 60% normal.

ckathens -
I sent you an email, but if you read this first, then here's the summary: I live 3 blocks from Ocean and Mission (maybe I meant the END of Ocean, not the beginning). And yes, I'm an SFSU student.

Hey All,

Looks like the weather is not looking too good. Rain and gusty winds all day. Some of the guys are already cancelling. We'll have to do this another day.
