Is there a member sighting thread? Saw a black 914 a couple days ago here in Thousand Oaks and wanted to say "Cool to see you"

I saw myself in the mirror before stepping into the shower this morning.
All I can say is that my wife must *really* love me to still be hanging around after all these years.

Don't know if member or not, but saw beautiful blue teener s/b on 405 near devonshirse a week ago about 7am. Looked like non-stock color lapis blue metalic. Had clear front lenses. I was on bike in carpool lane. Too far away to give

Outside of PCA OCR events.
I have only seen 1 72 914 1.7 in many years. Dark green and traveling on the 55 north near the 22 freeway.
Interesting thing was that it was in the morning commute on an overcast Wednesday back in April.
No OCR sticker. Definitely a daily driver, but a cool Bursch exhaust with a chrome tip and painted exhaust white. A standout against the lower black rear pan.
One would think in SoCal one would see more just hacking around.

If you saw your member we don't want to hear about it...

I still see teeners on the road around here once in a while. Definitely not like a few years ago. Same goes for the early 911's and even moreso for 356's. I figure they are either in garages/museums or rusted into oblivion by now.
However this reminded me that there is a red 75/76 at the gas station on PCH near Pepperdine. It's been sitting there for some time - may be for sale? If I remember next time I stop at Starbucks there, maybe I will snag the VIN for the database.

I keep seeing a nice burgundy colored one around Simi Valley. Sounds like a Subi engine.

I keep seeing two really nice early cars. A white one and a dark blue one around my area.
I saw rhodyguy and his wife at a farmers market on Saturday. No 914 though.

Not a 914, but was interesting- a cayman race car from hilton head sc,on trailer, heading northwest on I 26, pulled by a Cayenne and followed by this yellow GTS- lots of money in cars there and a lot of HP- wish i had a better picture of all 3,

It's a Cayman? The car on the trailer looks like a 911.

A major 914 sighting opportunity can be had this Sunday; the G & R Swapmeet in Riverside, CA always has 20+ great 914s show.

In San Leandro California yesterday. I came out of the produce store and it was parked near mine. It's pretty rough looking, but it runs.
I waited for a few minutes but no one returned to it. It was less than a mile from my house, so I may see it again if it's local.

Posted by: Philip W. Jul 18 2013, 06:58 AM
saw these a few days ago, out back behind the VW dealership. both are beyond repair. some 2.0 fuchs on one, and some gauges and glass, otherwise nothing worth saving - floors are gone on one of them.

Saw a silver teener in Erskine MN on a Gravel road coming from a private lake Thursday around noon. I was in the big red truck that waved. (Habit).
Nice looking stock fender car.
Posted by: matt5596 Jul 28 2014, 12:57 PM
Knoxville, TN. June 25th on I-40 W. Maybe 70mph. Nice looking ride.
My 914 would probably disintegrate at that speed.
