Welcome ! I have found the Florida crowd willing to help out..................especially if there is beer . This forum is very active and a good place to get advice. Also the classifieds is a great resource for parts. I think TC knows every 914 owner in the U.S., hell he's owned almost every 914 ever made . Stay in touch via this forum we're here to help.

Posted by: SGB Oct 18 2009, 08:27 PM

Thats quite a list TC. I've also met Doug uh, Watson (?) down there at Sebring. I'm sure you know him. Takes AWESOME pictures.

Otherwise, I think you named the entire contingent and then some...

Posted by: carr914 Oct 18 2009, 08:49 PM

I did forget about Doug Waters. He is quite a photographer. He hasn't posted in forever and I haven't seen him in a long time. He has a Silver 914-6, which this picture reminds me that Qarl is over in Orlando as well

T.C.

Posted by: carr914 Oct 18 2009, 08:54 PM

Also I have No Idea who owns this car, but I have seen it at Daytona multiple times, but have never seen a person with it

T.C.

Posted by: iamchappy Oct 18 2009, 09:11 PM

I visit regularly, but Qarl in Orlando is the only one i personally know in Florida.....

Posted by: FourBlades Oct 18 2009, 09:12 PM

A southeast event would be great now that the weather is finally getting a little
cooler. I'd be up for anything involving beer, bbq, and some of them funny little
cars.

The guy who owns the white 914 in your picture is Michael Canine...he lives pretty close to me. I've met him at the Winterpark car show a few years ago.

I know of two other owners in St Pete/Clearwater.

Posted by: 9146986 Oct 22 2009, 08:11 AM

Quilmes - Martin (Marteen) live in Orlando. He's got a very hot red 6, and he's a dedicated 914'er.

Posted by: carr914 Oct 22 2009, 08:28 AM

I know Martin well, I can't believe I forgot him.

Boca Raton checking in!

Posted by: wertygrog Oct 23 2009, 01:07 AM

I'm in Daytona. I've met a few 914 guys but no regular posters on the world. I'd definitely be up for some BBQ/wrenching action!

Here is me at a PCA autocross at the Daytona Speedway a couple weekends ago with my '74 2.0L daily driver.
