Where do I need to go to on the east coast to see a lot of 914's and other Porsches?
What type of car shows do you take your 914 to? I'm a VW fan and rarely see any 914's at VW events. I went to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this year and there was only one 914 in a showing of around 100 Porsches. http://pittsburghvintagegrandprix.com/pvgp/site/default.asp This is a very cool free show with thousands of cars. My family, for as long as its been in the US, originates in Ohio across the river from Wheeling, WV so I was able to tie this show in with a summer visit. It proved to be the most bang for the buck show I've ever been to and I hope to go again next year. I went on Saturday and they were doing $25 ride alongs around the track in the morning. I ended up in a Bugatti and it felt like he was useing at least 75% of the cars capabilities. img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...rix_34_rear.jpg[/img] Did anyone go to Florida Bug Jam? My brother is planning to get married on Thanksgiving at Disney World next year. I was like "Carl, you idiot. Bug Jam and Florida Flywheelers is on the second weekend of November!" http://www.pascobugjam.com/ http://www.floridaflywheelers.org/index.html I hope he reconciders because I dont want to give up Thanksgiving dinner to waste a bunch of money on a trip to Disney World. I realy wanted to make it to Bug Jam this year but couldnt afford the trip. pics of Subaru powered wide body 914. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v234/bug...rt=20#imgAnch37 http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v234/bug.../BugJam%202006/? |

I was at BugJam yesterday, with my bug...since the 914 is still under construction. Saw the two 914's that were there along with a '76 912E. Both 914s were very nice - the white WRX powered widebody was super clean - sporting a club badge - it sounded very mean/nice when leaving. The other was a red 73 that was very nice as well. Great guy.
Best part was that there were two used parts vendors where I scored a bunch of 914 stuff for what I think was a steal. I got a great center console and some small bits for $40. From the other guy, I got a set of plastic molded rockers, three door handles with two additional cylinders and keys, two new in-the-box Lobro 914 CV joints and a handful of other stuff for $80. Made my day - especially cause I needed one of those door handles and they're going for a lot more than that on ebay. On the general topic - I've usually gone to the Brumos meet in October - but they didn't have it this year - they did OctoberFast down in Daytona. .02 |
