brian in buddina Posted 20May, 2017 Report Share Posted 20May, 2017 Meteorology is a branch of the atmospheric sciences which includes atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics, with a major focus on weather forecasting & crystal ball gazing with a small portion of rolling the dice.

PCGC also cancelled yesterday saying that they didn't want one of their cars caught in flash flooding. Oh well. But we did have a clear morning and a whole bunch of interesting cars turned up, albeit probably only about half of usual numbers. We did have 2 front engines (mine), a 911 3.2 and a targa. https://m.facebook.com/carsandcoffeegoldcoast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for "more rain than Cyclone Debbie". "A months worth of rain, over 300ml in 24hrs". Bring Ray Wilkie back I say!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 1June, 2017 Report Share Posted 1June, 2017 I installed my rebuilt engine in the car last weekend. This weekend I'm hoping to connect all the accessories. If I have a sensational run, I might have the car back on the road on the 17th. If this is the case I'll do my best for it's first major run to be to Woodford to participate in the FEP. I may also find myself starting the removal of my engine depending on how nice the Porsche gods are to me... we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 1June, 2017 Report Share Posted 1June, 2017 Bear Hope you have a sensational run and we meet up in Woodford. Sometimes I think the P. gods are women. ?I just want to clarify that the above statement about female P. gods is intended in the nicest and most sincere manner, all being good looking & very desirable. The P. god of restoration is another animal, a very challenging mistress. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH1 Posted 3June, 2017 Report Share Posted 3June, 2017 Hi Everyone, The next Cars and Coffee Gold Coast is on 17th June. Would be great to continue where we left off the last time before the rains "rained" on the parade. I'll contact PCGC and get them to come over too if possible.

Port 911 Posted 4June, 2017 Report Share Posted 4June, 2017 Do the FEP have any forward planning for August, as I will be up near the QLD border and if my paperwork it good I may be able to get across the border for a meet up.Sadly I will only be able to bring photo's of my FEP as evidence of its existence.

brian in buddina Posted 5June, 2017 Report Share Posted 5June, 2017 The 26 August is Saturday, say 10amI'm on the Sunny Coast about 2 & half hours north. we could tentatively arrange our FEPS August meeting in or around the Kingscliff area. Lovely area. There is some beautiful back roads off the coast. Can anyone recommend a good place to meet up & have coffee? Anyone else interested?

I don't know if I could do another 2 1/2 hours each way, I have to do that down here every time I meet up with the central coast crew but that's the price you pay for living in Port Macquarie, would definitely be in for a meet up though and talk FEP talk.

HH1 Posted 5June, 2017 Report Share Posted 5June, 2017 I reckon somewhere on the gold coast would be ideal for everyone. Hinze Dam is quite nice and some good back roads there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian in buddina Posted 8June, 2017 Report Share Posted 8June, 2017 Port 911, HH1 & FEPS membershipThe Front Engine Preservation Society membership can review the rendezvous point for the August event at the next get together at Woodford on the Saturday 10am the 17 June. A decision can be made for the August event to meet up at either the Hinz Dam, Kingscliff or a nearby alternative location. Sounds very democratic, but anarchy may be the result. I understand the Woodford get together conflicts with the Gold Coast C & C, any show of hands on who is planning on going to FEPS Woodford event.Brian in buddina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
