George, is AA/yourself going to have a vendors area at Hershey this year? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Hi Robert and thank you for the post. We used to do that years ago but the market has really changed and we are trying only to hit the big concours events. With the advent of E bay, swap meets are becoming a thing of the past and to take a bunch of stuff up there to sell is really futile, and if we ever need to buy any used parts for resale we too just look on e bay and can usually find what we want. Sad but true! Will attend the parade the registry holiday Hilton head concours and four local concours and amelia island this year. Other than that really nothing as we are so needed on the phones, for example saturdays are slammed with tech advice and people coming to visit so it is hard to leave here! Despite the fact it's been raining the past couple of Hershey's swap meet events, Hershey's swap meet is and remains one of the biggest and most popular event. I don't remember one year I went there and didn't find what I was looking for either new or used. Why I don't mind driving 8.5 hrs to go there. (Ok it's true it gives me a week-end off and I love this town !!!) In my own opinion, I rather buy something in front of me I can look, hold, and verify than something on E-bay that I only see a picture , not sure where it comes from or even exist !!! Finally, I come to say that Hershey is the place it is (and would be) the place where the new and repro parts should be displayed. George, I hope you reconsider your thoughts and hope to shake your hand there in the spring. Cheers, |

Would be good to encourage a considerable 914 contingent to show up and maybe have their own booth in which to hang out all weekend. Maybe make it an east coast club meeting place |

Let's do a group buy on this. 50 914 owners sign up to be there and dr 914 shows up. THAT would be a good excuse to everyone for me not to be here. I am not cheap that's why it would take 50! Every one gets a free tech tips 700 latest version signed by me personally, and I buy everyone a drink at the local hangout! |

I meant could the kids count in the "50" members to sign up and you would show up deal? besides "fitsbain"really does not have 8 kids. I heard he sold a couple to pay for his restoration!

(of course if there are children of 914 owners who own 914s they are certainly counted!) I have already received info from the hershey lodge, so I am expecting a big 914 turnout! |

We may just take up my brothers six on the trailer if I can talk him into it. So we can atleast drive it around up there. He has only owned the car for about 20miles worth of driving, so reliability is still far from unknown. We will look forward to seeing you there. Bob |

Any new AA group buys planned? Greg may want to do another one as soon as the tail light sets hit. He was so kind to do the flare thing and keep me out of solicitation. I want to keep my input non commercial! We will have red, red amber, and clear. The samples we received are superb! By the way my windshield top seal man called today and said almost...what ever that means! but at least he called me!!! |

Send me a sample of the standard US model and I will stick them on the Bumble Bee restoration and see how they fit/look. If they pass my demanding standards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , we can do another group buy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Thanks for the Flair buy George. 33 sets shipped. The buy started around the 4th of January and everyone got them or their in transit, except for the last five who knew theirs had to be manufactured. Thanks for cutting us such a good deal! Let me know when your ready to talk about a tail light buy. |
