I think this will be a fun and great opportunity for other 914 World members who are coming to the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in March 2015 to meet, get together and caravan our 914s up to Amelia Island, especially since the 914 is the featured car being honored at this event, the second most prestigious classic car show in North America (if not the world). Though the Concours is over four days, the first two days are individual and specialized events; some individually ticketed and some by invitation only. The third and fourth days (Sat and Sun) are the actual car shows, so I thought about doing two meetups, one before each car show on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is the Cars and Coffee at the Concours and Sunday is the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. The drive up Heckshire Drive (the road to Amelia) is an easy winding scenic road that goes right through the Intracoastal (inland water marshes) up along the coast and through Big and Little Talbot Islands to Amelia Island.

I am more than happy to welcome other World members to meet at my house. I have fresh ground coffee (I grind my own beans and get my beans from an excellent local roaster), breakfast foods, etc. Then we can all make a noisy 914 caravan up to Amelia. I am right next to the interstate that goes up to Heckshire and down the street from nice and affordable hotels on the way and next to the interstate for those staying from out of town. Unless you want to stay up at Amelia (which will cost more). Or, we can meet at my place then go to a local spot on the way for breakfast. Or we could all just meet at a place for breakfast and skip my house altogether. We can do this Saturday morning, Sunday morning, or both. I will be going to both days.

If anybody is coming and is interested in doing this, let me know so I can get an idea of how many to expect and make further more detailed plans to accommodate.

With Magnus Walker at the Concours. We had a long chat about 914s. He wants one. An Urban Outlaw 914 would be cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Considering driving up from Tampa. Hard to turn down the opportunity since i'm so close. In the Jeep since the car is in IL. It's about 4 hours driving, so depends on when I can get away from work. None of the other guys I've talked to from here are planning on coming up. If anyone is going from Tampa and would like to ride together, I'm all for it. If a few people are planning to stay in the same place, I'd prefer to do that vs. just finding a place.

I'll bring a bottle of decent scotch.
