Those in the picture can comment, but since they were "there", they can't participate in the "when and where" answer, (unless there is proof of memory loss; are you paying attention, Pat Garvey?)
And to keep it within 914 World parameters, any photo that you choose to post should have a 914 somewhere in the pic. Also, there should be some kinda hint where the event might have taken place, a geographic landmark, skyline, historic venue, or perhaps just the scope of the picture might hint at where and when. A picture of a flock of 914s on some indescript parking lot isn't what we're looking for here, unless they're gridded with with some 917s and RSKs with the Chicago skyline off in the distance. First pic.... Attached image(s) |

The venue doesn't look familier, the selection of 914s don't register in my memory, but since Pat Garvey is posting this, I'd venture to guess that this is the 1989 Great Lakes/Traverse City Parade.

Paul Correct! The ONLY time I ever trailered the 914. Lost first place to Cole Scrogham (ARRRGGGH!!) by .75 points. Wish I'd had his family's money to "create" something that was no more than hype. His car was nice, but it wasn't even halfway clean. He did lend me a much needed master cylinder, so I won't carp too much. Should have won that one! Don't mind being beaten fair & square, but this wasn't! Great venue though. And the black cherries were in high season. Toured the upper penninsula wineries too - not bad wine & fun. It isn't Napa, but interesting & I'd do it again. Also saw the largest inland sand dune I've ever seen - must have been a hundred feet high! Yeah, Traverse City is a must-do for everyone. Pat BTW - was this an acceptable post for this thread? Pat |

Here's another, but Pat can't play 'cause he's in the photo. Pat WON'T play, because he looks to be brain dead in the photo! Thanks for perpetuating my loss of brain cells. I may not be able to play, but I know that pic came from the 1979 Brataslava Yugo convention. My face was warped from the concours banquet, which included Russia's finiest Kerosene in the banquet box. Why do you think I have no memory? Or,...was I simply yakking on a bone - I forget. But, you'll notice that I was surrounded by babes. Could it be because I can lick my eyebrows? Pat |
