I'd like to purchase a 914, but would like to find some experienced owners who can help ensure I make a smart choice. I live in Michigan and know that there is a 914 club here, in fact I've even seen it referenced in posts on this site, but I'll be damned if I can find their homepage!
Does anyone know of a/the 914 group here in Michigan? Or, are you an experienced, knowledgable 914 owner living in Michigan who wouldn't mind helping a potential 914 owner avoid the purchase of the wrong car? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Bob Biess |

Bob,
I'm in Northern Indiana and met the SMOG group last year at the Midwest Classic (trip to Hell reference above). Get in touch with that group (they'll respond soon) and they will bend over backwards to help you! Good luck! and if you want to chat at all..feel free to pm me and we can hook up on the phone. |

Hi Bob,
Sorry for the late reply. Everyone in MI must be sleeping. Welcome to the 914 world. We have an active group in Michigan. Our SMOG guys are getting together for our first annual kick-off outing this Sunday May 22nd. at the VW meet in Yspilanti, MI. Every year the VW people invite our 914's to attend. If you can attend send me a personal PM and I will tell you more. Again, welcome. The SMOG guys will help you find that 914. There's about (50) of us both active & in-active in the area. Tom |

I can assist, too. I'm in Dearborn, and certainly have lots of opinions (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
