Keith M- For sure, it would be great to have PorKen there. So it looks like this thing is really gonna happen. I think it may be time for me to order some wine! Do you like red wine, or is there something else you prefer? Maybe some beer or spirits? If you do like red wine, feel free to choose from one of the wines in the screenshots. (Tom has already claimed the Argentina Cabernet #7). I can bring whatever bottle you choose, the Argentina Cab for Tom928, and a few more bottles for the rest of us to drink at the BBQ. Let me know.
Regards,
Mick

Re: PorKen around anymore?
Michael B- That's great PorKen is still at it. The guy is a 928 legend. If you can persuade him to make the trip, that would be awesome!

PorKen is definitely still around and definitely still up to his 928 mad science. His recently released EZKs are a must-have for any S4/GT/GTS owner. And he has some pretty cool exhaust valves that help eliminate drones for all you RMB and high-flow exhaust folks, There is even some research happening for all you 4spd auto folks to help put some spring into your shifting.?
Between?Glen and I, we can likely convince Porken to come for a visit,?

Hey there Peter (is that your first name, or is it Scott? I couldn't tell from your email address). It would be great if you could make the trip from Bremerton to join us. I can't see why we wouldn't have time to adjust your timing belt as well. It's not too big a job. Looking forward to meeting you if you can make it!
Kind Regards,
Mick Cowles

Thanks Glenn. I appreciate it!

He's definitely still around, and definitely still deeply involved with 928s. I'll ping him offline to see if he's aware of the discussion around getting together.

pacnw928 guys- Anyone know if PorKen is still around. The guy's made so many contributions to our community, it seems appropriate to invite him to our BBQ. Even if he's too busy, or has moved on to other things, I'm sure he'd appreciate the gesture.

Keith- Tom M's suggestion to create a new thread is a good one. Some people who haven't checked in for awhile may see it and want to join us. The use of a group texting or emailing is a helpful though because once everyone checks in via email, you'd only have to send directions once.

Hey Keith,
Probably would be a good idea to create a new thread and call it "End of Summer 928 Battlefest in Battle Ground :) " or something like that.?
Put in your email address and request that folks email you directly for the address/directions and phone number.?
Also suggest putting the date/time (Aug 26 12 to 5 or whatever works for you) .
cheers,
Tom
Still a maybe, but put me down on the list for now.

And more:
Add whether you have a BBQ there??
Let them know what you will have there wrt food items.
Folks that are interested should post up what they are bringing so you don't end up with 14 bags of buns and no burgers LOL....
or in this case 20 bottles of wine :D
Suggest working on the car before drinking the wine. Sure to have better results :D

Hi Keith,
Thanks again for hosting this event. So far, the following people have confirmed. I've included their email addresses. Perhaps you could send a group email to just these individuals. You could also send these folks your phone number and ask them to confirm again by text before sending directions in a group text.
Possible attendees and email addresses:
1. Andy Sulla- ads78911@...
2. Tom928- rigel_vii@...
3. Tom M.- midlman@...
4. Michael Benno- michael.benno@...
5. Aaron Kraljev- aaron.m.kraljev@...
6. Mick Cowles- mickcowles@...
If you copy and paste the email addresses below into the "To" field of an email (including the commas), it should send that email only to the six of us. Hope that helps some. Looking forward to meeting you and the other pacnw928 guys!
midlman@..., ads78911@..., mickcowles@..., rigel_vii@..., michael.benno@..., aaron.m.kraljev@...

Michael B. and Tom M.- It would be great to have you guys at the BBQ if it happens. I know Tom M. mentioned having some experience with 928 timing belts which would be helpful.
pacnw928 guys- Anyone else want to learn about timing belts? Its a great opportunity to get familiar with what's under your hood which can help you become more proactive about maintenance. Oh- and even better than that....there would be free wine and pizza involved! At this point, if Keith M. and Mrs. Martin okay the event, we would have 6 attendees. (Keith, Tom928, Tom M, Michael B, Aaron K, and myself).
Tom928- I've not tried the Argentina Cab either...sounds amazing! I haven't ordered the case of wine yet, but if Keith gives the go ahead, I will!
Keith- No worries if for whatever reason it doesn't come together. No pressure. The timing belt adjustment is a really easy job. It will get done regardless. It would just be nice to have some guidance, and it would be great to meet some of the pacnw928 guys.
pacnw928 guys- Random issue-- Check out the attached photo! That foam heat shield under the hood completely crumbles and deteriorates after awhile. A company in Dearborn, Michigan makes these replacements that are so cool. (I hope they are still in business. The Youtube video where I found out about them is pretty old.) How cool to have it look so clean under the hood, and that decal with the Porsche insignia is sweet!
