Great turnout this am of valley 914 owners in Modesto. Some came from as far as Stockton. Modified, stock, and everything in between. Thank you to those who took the time to get together and share stories and info. Maybe we should continue to do this about once a year. Here's a pic of the teener gang and another of some of the cars.

In the late 70's and 80's I used to cruise Mchenry and Pacific Avenue. I was the only 914 out there. Everyone else was in muscle cars.
I had a Tangerine 71 with a 2.4 liter four in it. I used to blow away stock vets with that car.

Funny you say that. I spoke with a guy at the Modesto get together yesterday. He lived in Detroit during the same period. He said he was very unpopular in the "Motor City" driving a 914!

I met a lot of women cruising those two avenues. I met my future wife on Pacific Avenue in Stockton back in 89. Still have the same car. It had a 2.7 six back then. It's now flaired with a 3.2.

But the important question is, do you still have the same WIFE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I have many similar experiences, cruised both Pacific Ave., McHenry and School street in Lodi in the 70's but wasn't into porsches like now, muscle cars back then.

And also met my wife cruising Pacific Ave. and still married.

Here are some more picts....
