dunkels anyone?
 

Just curious if any of the BBS crowd are going to Dunkels this weekend. Has anyone thought of having an informal get together?

Having never been to Dunkels before I don't know what to expect. Sounds like it will be fun.

Big weekend in LA. I am flying down to Okland from Portland Friday morning then ridin' down to LA with a couple of R Gruppe friends. We are going to a get together Friday night a Road and Race with R Grupper Dave Buhain, then Sat. to the Lit. show at the LAX Hilton, then Sunday at Dunkel Bros. we are camping next door to Dunkel Bros at the Ramada Inn.

R Gruppe will have a table somewhere, stop by and say "Hello"
This is my first time but I hear it is worth the trip. Should be tons of 356's, 911's and Porsche race cars. Plus great stuff to buy two days in a row. WOW!!!

We have at least four members going from the Pacific Northwest that I am aware of, maybe more!

I live very close to Dunkel's, and go every year. It is getting bigger and better. We usually get a very good showing from the Orange county region.
Weatherman says highs around 67, some early morning fog burning off to partly clowdy in the afternoon. Not too bad.
Several of us are planning to hit a local pizza parlor after the show/swap meet, but nothing fancy.
Look forward to meeting you.

I'm there! ;) Lots of fun last year. I'm really looking forward to this.

See you soon, RLJ.

Can someone post a link with some info on the Dunkel event?

Thanks!

Here's the link, Jim:

i'll definitely be there. i'll be bringing my black '73 911E. it is half stripped out on the inside while i get it ready for a roll bar, safety harnesses, and a racing seat................but i'll be there !

I will be there too. I always seem to miss it for some reason or another. Should be a great turn out. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

I'm there! Already got a list of stuff I need.

Randy J & Randy W? I hope to see lots of pics posted upon your return! Yeah, I know..Randy W is best behind the lens, but with Randy J kicking him every now & then, us stay at home folks may see a bit of the meet? Have fun, guys... Paul

Where is the SCWDP booth going to be this year?
BTW, if anyone else is looking for a whale tail for an SC, the swap meet starts after 10:00AM :-) just kidding.

So far the bet is that Jerry Seinfeld will show up in a GT2, but not for certain.
I also hear that he is trying (and has been for some time) trying to buy the famous Dunkel bubble car.

Anyone care to guess if Jay Leno will drive his old Bugatti? Not sure what year it is, my guess is mid to late 20's.

I'm going! It's my first time and looks to be a great day trip.

Where is R Gruppe meeting on Sunday? It looks as though I may be able to bring my project car. Except for a few minor details, it's about done! Performed very well on the road this past Sunday. Let me know.SmileWavy

I'm trying to work it so I can go. Won't have the Porsche with me, but I'll try to bring the digital camera.

On a somewhat related note, I'm also going to go to a track day on the 15th of February at Laguna. It's cheap -- $175, if I remember right, with the Shelby Club. If anyone else is planning on (or considering) going, email me.

Awesome. I am definitely up for pizza or whatever. I'll have a friend from Santa Barbara with me looking for 914 parts as well.

I'm bringing a working CDS box from my 72 to hopefully sell/swap.

I'll have the 911 with me. Anyone want to give me MFI advice on the spot? :) :) :)

Isn't "Dunkel" a German beer? Somebody better bring some.:D

There should definitely be some sort of informal Pelican-head gathering; maybe that breakfast on Sat. that earlySreg is having? Wayne should be there I would think, or at the swap meets? :cool:

912's are having a meeting in the morning also. Maybe we could all meet afterwards???

Does anyone know if the 914 guys are having a run? I guess Anaheim is not the ideal place for one. :D

I agree with speeder, there should definitely be something especially given that some folks are coming from far and wide to attend.

I am not a member of any of the secret societies (SCWDP, early S etc) so I don't know what conflicts there are. ;)

Sounds to me like some of you nice boys shold bring a laptop and a webcam for us guys who can't be there in person- maybe some proxy buyin hard to find parts ??
I bet if I had known sooner I would have done it myself..

anyone want to pitch in for some plane tickets or if someone is driving from or thru the dallas area that would be cool ( I don't own a chainsaw anymore) too bulky... weighs too much.http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/...flackwhore.gif

Many of the 914 guys (and at least one pelican guy) will be at Hooter's in newport beach on saturday afternoon at around 3 pm. I can't make it, but there will be plenty of other crazies to take my place.
BTW, does anyone else have a picture of one of their Porsches on the wall of a hooters?

Sam (pround as all get out).

I planned on going with my 912 and a friend...but since I may have burned a valve it'll just be my friend and I. The Dunkel's are big supporters of the Vintage Auto Racing Assn. (VARA), the club I race with, and they have an immaculate showroom of Porsche and car related stuff. I was there early January and they had a Porsche tractor, a Speedster (in a bubble) tons and tons of memorabilia, and some other assorted cars and boats in their showroom. The 356 racer that was placed up in the air at the show last year wasn't around, though.

What about an informal gathering by wherever Pelican Parts is set up at some point in the afternoon, say 1PM?

If anyone is bringing their early car I would really like to check it out!

It is supposed to be 80 degrees at Dunkel's tomorrow, some wind, humidity% in the teens or low 20's.

Perfect P car weather.

I'm meeting someone from Oregon who is interested in my aluminum-frame ducktail. Plus my gal is actually going to go too so it should be a fun day. Haven't been to one of these gatherings in a long long while.
