Had the opportunity yesterday to go to the Peterson Museum again as an invitation by a friend who knew they had a two day Grand Reopening of the Vault. 60,000 sq ft, 250 vehicles. The ONLY 2 days pictures in the vault were allowed. I took lots but the lighting was horrible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Overall it was ok. No ropes but if cars were parked next to each other you could not walk between them, making viewing some impossible. They enforced this rule vigorously I can report.
We arrived a little late for out 75 minute tour so we had less time to look, but it was enough. BTW it was $75 for this privilage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The Porsche Experience runs through Jan 2019 so I had a chance to see those cars again and took many more and better detailed pics there. Had not noticed this post my last visit with every model....

I am hard pressed to explain why they parked this big ole Mercedes smack in the middle of the Porsches (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Sadly I did not get a story on it . With only 2 914's in the whole place you would think I would have done a better job eh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) We got really stuck in LA traffic and were late, they were less than caring, we just did the best we could. The deal was you paid for a time slot and that was that. Did not really get to ask many questions just see as much as possible. They had docents but I could see once engaged they were hard to shake.

Below is the only other pic I got of that 914 and it sure would have been nice to have plaques by the cars like they do upstairs that tell you about the cars. Also, like I said if cars were parked next to each other you were not allowed to walk in between them to get a better look. Upstairs I took a pic of every plaque of each car I shot.

The reason I ask is that it has a 916 style front bumper and lower valance so I was wondering if the car had some special provenance or if it was just a tribute car.

Holy crap! I did not realize the car was that significant. A 916 - and #1 to boot.

I wonder how it ended up at the Petersen?

Travis thanks so much for contributing! I had no idea either. Wish it was not crammed in like it was so I could have gotten some better pics.
Really amazing car and 916#1!

We are making the rounds with it, first it was at Amelia, then the Porsche museum here in Atlanta and now the Peterson. We hope to get a segment on Jay Leno Garage then the SEMA show in november

Yes dr914, which booth are you going to be at SEMA? My company exhibits at SEMA every year. There are a lot of cool cars to look at but never a 914.
Bill.

Yesterday morning I woke to the sunniest morning in a while and that meant the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) had to hit the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Enjoyed a beautiful ride over, with just a few twistys along the way, to a local cars and coffee.
My wife joined me so that made it all the better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smlove2.gif)
The 914 received a lot of interest and complements. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chatsmiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) mine being the only 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) but many very nice Porsches were in attendance.
Yeah, that's an F40 up there ahead in the first pics all right. (F40 got a lot more attention (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif))

Anybody using the Rennline Quick Disconnect on their steering wheel? Looking for input.
Thinking this is something that would solve a few problems but not cheap.
1.) Steering wheel seems too far away, this would bring it 2.3" closer.
2.) Would make entry and exit of vehicle easier.
3.) Slick anti-theft devise

Does create one problem though, they have no provision for horn, so would have to figure something out.

Back in the day when the horn was broken we used to extend the middle finger to signal our intentions.

As a response from previous requests I was able to get a driving video today (link below).
Beautiful day in sunny southern California! Fun!
Best part was I didn't know he was shooting it at first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Darn lights wouldn't cooperate though.
Hope the sound is good.

Took the opportunity to attend the local San Diego Porsche Dealer 70th Year Celebration.
First freeway run over there and my wife didn't like being so low. I thought it was great!
Arrived early and scored this prime location to represent 914's and was the only one in attendance until later in the event as I was leaving, Margie Haas arrived in her 6.

As the day progressed and the parking kept filling up the parking coordinator had me move it down to keep it on the end. I thought that was very cool!
Right next to the German Band. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

San Diego has 2 major Dealerships and the other one, Hoehn was not as highly attended per a friend who attended both. There were Porsches in every direction here and it filled to double parking. They had Beer great German food! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
