Hi,
I just got back from the GAF in Ventura. I don't have any pics for ya but I'm sure someone will. Lunch at the Casa Sirena was great. I think there were about 30 people there. I stayed at the hotel Saturday night and wasn't too impressed. The place we stayed at for this years WCC was much nicer. The Casa Sirena could be a first rate resort if someone wanted to buy it and spend a lot of bucks renovating. The place was OK but I just think we could do better. Just my dos centavos. I picked up some useless things at the swap meet so I consider that portion of the weekend a success. All the venders were there. Said hi to Brad at the Wevo booth. I think I saw more 914 people at lunch on Sat. than were there on Sunday. A few couldn't stick around. There were probably about 8 914s I saw. They were parked all over the place. We need to establish a 914 corral at these events. When I pulled into the parking area, I asked the guy "where is the 914 parking?" The jerk said ,"there isn't any 914 parking." I said,"bullshit! I know where it's at." The jerk says "where?" And I say"anywhere I'm parked". He laughed and waved me through. My feeling is the 914 just doesn't get the respect it deserves. We need to work on that. Cheers, Elliot |

I was looking for the 914 corral too. After talking to a few of the workers, turns out there was no corral because the head guy for the GAF stated we all had to arrive at the same time in order to establish one area they could send us to; that does make some sense. Bottom line, better organization was required on our part. I counted 12 914's in all.
Next year GAF will feature the 911 Carreras and (according to the Maltese Falcon) rumor has it they will feature the 914 in 2006; that will be the one for all CA 914's to show up for! Overall I was somewhat disappointed by the turnout; seems like fewer vendors and P-cars showed up this year. |
