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. Saturday, 14 March 2015 Cars & Coffee at the Concours 9 AM - 1 PM Over 250 classic and exotic cars from local car clubs will be displayed on the 10th and 18th fairways of the Golf Club of Amelia Island. Vehicles must be pre-registered to participate. Sunday, 15 March 2015 The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance 9:30 AM - 4 PM The Golf Club of Amelia Island 10th & 18th Fairways Entire Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Event Schedule: https://www.ameliaconcours.org/event-information.aspx 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) ![]() |

Just an FYI, Ferry Porsche's personal 914-8 that he was given for his birthday that resides in the Porsche Museum n Stuttgart is coming, as is George Hussey's original 916. The Brumos Porsche winning 914-6 GTs will be there including Hurley Haywood's first race car and first career win in a 914-6 GT. I also think the #40 914-6 GT that won Le Mans in 1970 may be there, but no confirmation on that as of yet.

This event is overwhelming. You'll stay all day and not see everything. It's amazing. A couple years ago when the 50th Anniversary of the 911 was the showcase, the historic, rare and classic Porsches seemed endless.

I hope to go, but probably won't know for sure until much closer to the event. It's less than a 3 hour drive for me, so I hope to work it out between now and March.

I also think the #40 914-6 GT that won Le Mans in 1970 may be there, but no confirmation on that as of yet. If Ferry's car is going to be there maybe The Alien should try to crash land there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) I wonder if I could sneak past security? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

That is a car that most of us will only have one chance to see. |

Sounds like a fun time and since it's not too far I think I'll have to make the schedule work.
