So I drive my car every weekend, and want to start doing some drives with you local guys. I can think of at least 20 of us within 15 miles,and 40 within 30 miles.with those numbers we should at least get two guys to show up so meet up super early 5:30 -600 not much traffic,home by 11:00am before traffic. [attachmentid=631994] 25 914s showed up if anyone wants a copy I'll get some.

Sounds good.

Posted by: Socalandy Jul 29 2015, 09:42 PM

sounds cool, When and where??

Posted by: ndfrigi Jul 29 2015, 09:54 PM

ooops edited my message. So it is sunday and sad I'm not available every sunday.
Why is it normally sunday that has this kind of gathering, like the G&R swap meet.

Posted by: Steve Jul 29 2015, 10:21 PM

I'm game since my car is finally running,

Posted by: 914_teener Jul 29 2015, 10:29 PM

I'm in.

No time limits and Sunday sounds good.

Posted by: siverson Jul 29 2015, 11:01 PM

I would like to, but can't this Sunday...

-Steve

Posted by: abes914 Jul 29 2015, 11:09 PM

i am in but not this sunday-i'll be working.
this assuming that my car will be running safely any time soon.

Posted by: Blue6 Jul 30 2015, 12:47 AM

Just let me know when and where....

Posted by: ehokana Jul 30 2015, 04:12 AM

Once I get my car back up (hopefully by October) I'll be there!

Posted by: sb914 Jul 30 2015, 07:49 AM

Sweet. So what do you guys think? Ortega hwy, Santiago canyon,pch,Azusa.?

Posted by: sb914 Jul 30 2015, 07:55 AM

Saturday = kids=soccer, little league, etc.lots of guys work Saturdays, less traffic on Sunday mornings

Posted by: 76-914 Jul 30 2015, 08:03 AM

So as to not take away from Family events; e.g. Soccer, Baseball, Beach Outings; etc., etc.
I'm in for any runs near me. Otherwise, I'll work on my car. And I do as you do, Eddy. I get up early and hit the trails by myself. One other thing. If you leave it up to everyone to decide which route it will never happen. Like herding cats. Just pick one. Some will be able to make it, others won't.
PS, This Sunday is a Hot one.

Suggestions

Up for maybe Laguna Beach via Santiago or Newcombs Ranch for a cold beer.

Right now it is raining buckets up here....so we will see what happens to the road.

Posted by: ndfrigi Jul 30 2015, 10:39 AM

Good morning Eddy, like what you have said and 76-914, family event is the priority and I support that. Maybe it is just my family that usually at home saturday morning. And every sunday we are at our church almost the whole day.

Posted by: sb914 Jul 30 2015, 12:24 PM

Ndfrig. By meeting 5:30 -6:00 you could still make it home by 9:30 10:00 or earlier if you head back early.if not you can surely do Pch run.Hope you can make it.
Eddy

Posted by: ndfrigi Jul 30 2015, 01:23 PM

Thanks sir Eddy!

Sir Lawrence and Andy, I forwarded a copy of this thread to Jim from fullerton.

Posted by: sb914 Jul 31 2015, 07:03 AM

Ok ,can't figure how to post map, so those of you that want to go, we'll meet at 6:00 am jamboree+ chapman which turns into Santiago canyon rd . Stop at cooks corner, then head up Santiago which changes to eltoro rd, than head to pch. We can have a coffee( or whatever u prefer) bullshit for a few than head home.I'll b at jamboree and chapman 6:00 . B there or b square!

Posted by: jim_hoyland Jul 31 2015, 06:19 PM

Can't this Sunday. But I,be bee thinking a group drive to Irvine Lake would be cool. Lots of during roads nearby and the lake would be a good. Place for lunch

Posted by: Blue6 Jul 31 2015, 06:48 PM

Eddy, I'm in. I'm having a new steel braided clutch line made, should be done tomorrow morning, fingers crossed. If He doesn't get it done in time, I'll be riding with Jim. Either way, see Ya all then....

Posted by: sb914 Jul 31 2015, 07:28 PM

Cool,should be fun.

Posted by: 914_teener Jul 31 2015, 07:50 PM

I'm in.

25 min down the 57 for me to get to Chapman.

See you guys there.

Lake Irvine sounds good.

Posted by: Yahmann Jul 31 2015, 08:01 PM

I'm in if you ever do the Santa Monica Mountains. I live at the top of Tuna Canyon and Saddle Peak.

Posted by: campbellcj Jul 31 2015, 09:35 PM

Now you're talking! It is so fun to drive up there and the scenery is spectacular. I can't imagine the hassle factor that comes with that stellar view, though. I live down below but take various 'scenic routes' over the top from Agoura to work in Santa Monica a couple days a week. Yesterday's selection was Mulholland to Old Topanga and back home the same way (normally I don't do that, I switch it up).

So my 914 is not very streetable, but I am about to toss a muffler on it and it can do the canyon stuff, just no freeway cruising or putting around in traffic. I'd be up for a gathering/fun-run in our neck of the woods some time.

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 31 2015, 10:06 PM

Post a map. LOL

Posted by: olsib914 Jul 31 2015, 10:22 PM

sheez this is just over the hill from me, but the the 914 is still in sick bay. I will try to stop by in my swede.

Posted by: sb914 Aug 1 2015, 10:41 AM

Posted by: Steve Aug 1 2015, 07:40 PM

I will be there!!

Posted by: 914_teener Aug 1 2015, 09:08 PM

Can you guys hang till 6.30....drunks are still on the road when I leave to get down there?

Anyway been wanting to take a drive down that way...if not let me know another rally point on PCH or somewhere on Santiago? Gonna hang in Laguna later when and if the sun comes out for a bit before heading home back up in the foothills.

Rob

Posted by: Steve Aug 1 2015, 09:44 PM

6:30 works for me. Or does someone have a time constraint?

Posted by: sb914 Aug 1 2015, 09:47 PM

For sure will hang around till 6:30 that was my plan anyway.see ya mañana

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 1 2015, 10:14 PM

See you guys in the morning

Posted by: ndfrigi Aug 1 2015, 10:22 PM

Andy, did u message Jim from fullerton about the details for tomorrow? He wants to join you guys!

Posted by: Larmo63 Aug 1 2015, 10:30 PM

Jim told me he is going to try to be there.

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 1 2015, 10:31 PM

Posted by: 914_teener Aug 2 2015, 12:32 PM

Thanks for setting up the drive Eddie.


The canyon was beautiful... and very fun.

Fiddled up PCH to Newport on the way home. See you guys on the next one.

Newbie here. Been following you guys for awhile. Beautiful 914's boys. Live about two miles from the canyon and Cooks. Wish I would have rolled. Next time!

All the paint jobs look exceptional!

Would like to put some new paint on the 74 1.8. Any suggested shops in the south OC area?

Thx

Posted by: Steve Aug 2 2015, 03:16 PM

Thanks Eddie for setting this up!!! Had a great time!! Can't wait for the next one!!

Posted by: ndfrigi Aug 2 2015, 05:30 PM

Am I right?

Four - 6 cyl engines
Three - 4 cyl engines

from these group this morning?

Please can you do at least one saturday and same time?

Posted by: Blue6 Aug 2 2015, 05:39 PM

Great time, thank you Eddy for the plan....

Tburt, give Mister D's in Brea a call. He does great work, but doesn't give it away$$$. Currently doing a 1968 Shelby for concours. He has never done me wrong, and when I get this one ready he'll paint it also.

Posted by: Steve Aug 2 2015, 07:53 PM

Three Sixes total
-Two factory sixes and my 3.2 six conversion
One V8
Three 914-4's
Can't remember the details on each (sensory overload).

Posted by: 2mAn Aug 2 2015, 09:46 PM

Ive seen 3 914s in the last week. Because Im driving my E30 you guys usually dont notice me or look my way until I honk.

Ive seen a green one with the flares and two narrow bodied ones, one blue and the other yellow. I dont know whats going on, but its always exciting to see them out.

btw on topic, I have the map that Petrolicious used for their most recent rally. I only completed ~20 of the 80 mile course. There were ZERO 914s at the event and I was the only E30 so maybe I could tag along and we could make that the next event...

Im busy on the 8th, but the following weekend, I can probably convince my girlfriend to join me on a cruise.

Posted by: ndfrigi Aug 2 2015, 09:59 PM

Thanks Steve for responding! Next time and I will be able to join, I will add to the 914-4 but the only with big rubber bumper.

Posted by: Larmo63 Aug 3 2015, 09:04 AM

Four Sixes total:
-Two factory sixes, Dave's 2.7 slant nose conversion, and Steve's 3.2 six conversion
Eddy's V8 conversion
Two 914-4's

Forrest met us at Ruby's in his /4 too.

Posted by: Steve Aug 3 2015, 09:14 AM

Thanks Lawrence for the correction. It was great to hang out with everyone. Night and day better than Cars & Coffee.

Posted by: 914_teener Aug 3 2015, 09:29 AM

One of the coolest things about the drive was bringing up the rear and listening to the note of a six at full song as we made our way up the canyon in a line. Each car made a different sound as each hit the pedal. Each had different personality of sound.


The fog was cool too as we dipped in and out of it.

See you guys on the next one.

Posted by: sb914 Aug 3 2015, 09:37 AM

look mom, driving with my eyes closed. Thanks for the shot Karen.

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Aug 3 2015, 09:46 PM

Sorry I missed this one looked like a fun drive. Had chores to do at home like gut the laundry room.

I will make the next one.

Posted by: forrestkhaag Aug 8 2015, 04:26 PM

So when is it? Next Saturday or Sunday?? Eddy: My kid is in town next weekend to check out the possibilities for the 350 conversion . but he is leaning toward a Super Chevy big block.... it will fit........

Posted by: sb914 Aug 10 2015, 07:49 AM

Ok,let's do Ortega hwy,this Sunday 16th
Meet at 6:00am 5wy and Ortega.if people are coming from over the hill,they could meet up somewhere in route,or just meet same spot. Who's in?

Posted by: Steve Aug 10 2015, 08:39 AM

I will be up north for a wedding, so I can't make this one. Bummer.....

Posted by: sb914 Aug 11 2015, 08:14 AM

That is a bummer, next time!

Posted by: 76-914 Aug 11 2015, 08:46 AM

That's a pretty busy intersection. There used to be a Denny's at that intersection that you could gather at but it's been torn down! I believe there are still places to pull to the side and meet at the 243/Ortega intersection. Might want to check it out, Eddy. I might make this if I finish Mark's car in time!

Posted by: seareef228 Aug 11 2015, 01:50 PM

Im In ..I just found this thread
what time??

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 11 2015, 03:27 PM

maybe next time, I'll be prepping my car for the PCA concourse in San Diego on the 22nd

Posted by: Larmo63 Aug 11 2015, 04:40 PM

There is a strip center about a block inland on the right with a pretty decent size parking lot….?

Posted by: sb914 Aug 11 2015, 06:07 PM

sounds good we'll meet there 6:00am

Posted by: oldschool Aug 11 2015, 06:47 PM

Man! I been working on the weekend...Hope to make one soon.

Posted by: Larmo63 Aug 13 2015, 07:02 PM

Okay guys, here's the plan: We meet this Sunday, Aug 16th at 6:00 on Ortega Highway, second block INLAND or EAST, there is a Starbucks at 27211 Ortega Highway, San Juan Capistrano, Ca.

There is a carwash on the corner, at Rancho Viejo Road and Ortega Highway, you enter off of Ortega. We'll meet at that parking lot, grab a cup of Joe, shoot the sh*t, and drive out Ortega Highway and maybe stop at the Lookout restaurant or all the way to Elsinore??

We'll talk when we meet up. All 914s are welcome!!! Who's in??

Posted by: sb914 Aug 13 2015, 08:07 PM

I'm in

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Aug 13 2015, 09:47 PM

Yes, TURBOcharged...

I'll be there!

Posted by: forrestkhaag Aug 15 2015, 06:30 PM

i'm all in

see you guys at 6

Posted by: forrestkhaag Aug 15 2015, 07:56 PM

any car!! P-car is better.. but attendance is what gets the information flowing.....

My son flew in from AZ to (hopefully) check out Eddy's 8 as he,.. Clayton is a confirmed Chevelle BB guy and will be in charge of my v-8 conversion if that is the direction de jour......

I am over the four concept and it was a fine learning experience.

What I can say is.. never Never have in your stable a 993VR and a 1.7 914 at the same time/ it almost pushed me out of the 914World and back into the spritz-bottle clammy (misspelled on purpose) world of door-ding paranoid stuffed shirts and the like.. // the contrast in sheer acceleration, G's, braking, is quite different- you know,.. all the good stuff,./... is too great Man!

Don't go there..
Don't do it Man!!

On the positive side, I have a great suspension front and back built into this 914 ride and it can handle anything within reason that can be stuffed into the engine bay - given a cutting torch or Makita and a wheel...

I really like the idea of cutting away all of the trunk deck and doing tube or box-tube reinforcement frame to create the same structural integrity as all that sheet metal accomplished ../ then access is from the top verses the underside and, at the end of the day, it is easier to clean everything top down. Heat is another issue....

Heat.

My God Man, the heat... and the raggedy cloths.... (apologies to Elaine Bennis)

Eddy will shine some light on the v-8 heat issues as his ride seems to have it fully under control / more to learn on the drive tomorrow / meeting at 6am on the Ortega//

Posted by: olsib914 Aug 15 2015, 07:58 PM

not going to make it. Got the tune around the low cylinder and the short shift to work more smoothly only to discover right traii arm front bushing is shot.

another week down.

Posted by: sb914 Aug 15 2015, 09:56 PM

See you guys there.

Posted by: Cj Honeycutt Aug 15 2015, 11:49 PM

Why are these drives only for "guys" ? BTW, Hell's Kitchen has better food and service than the Look Out.

It was great to make your acquaintance on the drive today and and especially (no offence) that of your lovely wife.

As you can see from the picture above my Laguna-garage-paintjob needs help. Lets talk soon!!

Posted by: whitetwinturbo Aug 17 2015, 12:04 AM

2? Y ou will need to bring marshmellows until the boys in red knock down the bonfire....

Posted by: forrestkhaag Aug 20 2015, 11:59 AM

It may sound worked but an early morning rip up and down PCH is the envy of many East coast 914teeners / With the fires blazing the mountain routes, maybe a run on flat land with a good brake-fast place aklong the way would work in the meantime.

I'm in wherever the next one is staged.

I saw six 914's at the Aliso Viejo cars & coffee today. I didn't take any pictures.
It was nice seeing everyone again. Thanks for the notice!!

Posted by: Larmo63 Sep 5 2015, 12:39 PM

This is a fun and well attended event. It only lasts for about two hours, if that, and then everybody leaves. There were some crazy cars there today!

Like Steve said, six 914s.

a Voltswagen/ Porsche 914

Posted by: Steve Sep 6 2015, 02:24 PM

I love the hair dryer heaters!! Super clean and straight body. He switched the DC motors for AC motors. When he rev'd the two AC motors, my daughter cringed and said it sounded like the dentist drill.

Posted by: Beach914 Sep 6 2015, 03:12 PM

For those curious, He said the car was 2700lbs, balance was 1300 up front and 1400 in the rear.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 6 2015, 04:17 PM

I viewed an electric powered 914 at a cruise-in and it must have had bad longs.
The front+ rear battery weight must have caused the upper door gaps to be at 1/32"

Posted by: Steve Sep 12 2015, 10:23 AM

I was the only 914 there again.

Posted by: whitetwinturbo Sep 12 2015, 03:09 PM

This one is shocking.......

Posted by: PlantMan Sep 12 2015, 09:05 PM

You were for sure. I left the scene when the 911's next to you rolled in. They made quite the entry.....
It will be awhile before I can get my car there......

Posted by: Lu.xl Sep 17 2015, 10:25 PM

Is anyone going to Cars & Coffee in Aliso Viejo or Tustin this Saturday morning? Debating on going... My 914 gets lonely being the only one.

Posted by: Steve Sep 17 2015, 10:29 PM

I just realized my daughter borrowed my iPad and was still logged in. So the above post was from me not her.

Posted by: sb914 Mar 9 2016, 08:55 AM

Thinking about a Sunday drive! If its not raining.
Thinking maybe a pch run through Palos verdes
Anyone in? Remember we leave dawn patrol.

Posted by: Socalandy Mar 9 2016, 09:59 AM

sounds cool if weather is good

Too far and too much traffic. I'm spoiled from living in the boonies with the twisties and mountains in my back yard! I googled Palos Verdes and wondered where ya'll drive. Looks pretty much like it's all city driving.

Posted by: sb914 Mar 10 2016, 09:15 AM

There are some cool roads, great views and a chance to hang out with some fellow teeners. Make the trip it will be a good check run b4 Route 66

This is a pretty fun road. how about heading up this and rounding the peninsula? or maybe even heading up it go to manhattan beach for breakfast/lunch then take the bluffs home?

Posted by: Steve Mar 10 2016, 05:58 PM

I forgot my wife's working, so I have to watch the kids and drive them to and from work.
Maybe next time!!

Posted by: pete000 Mar 10 2016, 10:56 PM

Malaga cove plaza is good and easy to find. It has a country like store and coffee shop.

The other good spot is Lunada bay has a french pasty shop where a few Ferrari guys usually meet.

Either one is good and you can do a lap of PV including the switch backs. I prefer charging up the switchbacks rather than descending them. This means touring the PV hill counter clockwise. Either way is fun.

You can continue on back down into Redondo Beach.

Ill be there! Car is getting detailed and clay barred right now.

Posted by: pete000 Mar 12 2016, 04:14 PM

I recommend starting at the Starbucks at (28166 South Western Avenue, San Pedro, CA 90732) Behind Carrows restaurant.

This would set up a good route to hit PV and use both sides of the switchbacks.

We could end the PV section at Malaga Cove Plaza (Re group). Then easy onward to Redondo Beach from there.

Posted by: BigFour1973 Mar 12 2016, 04:29 PM

Route is open to change, but I was thinking meet at Starbucks on western and 25th. Head up the switchbacks, through pv towards the city hall. ¿Head up to redondo, eat?
Then take the coast back down.

But you're the local, I'm open to your route as well.

Posted by: pete000 Mar 12 2016, 05:03 PM

Can't make this one. My car is all apart again. The turning indicator switch horn contact disintegrated as well as the horn ring. Every time I would turn the steering wheel the horn would go off. Very embarrassing.

Posted by: euro911 Sep 7 2016, 12:40 AM

Just seeing this this evening. I really have to plan ahead to get up early enough to do a dawn run any more ...

I had a PV route made up several years ago (2009) that was a nice drive ... started after breakfast at the Pacific Diner in San Pedro, up the hill to PV Drive east, then around the peninsula clock-wise (with a few photo-op stops), then it ended at where my old shop was in Harbor City ... (roughly, 27 miles).

Here's the route map (with GPS coordinates): http://goo.gl/maps/VgpAk


FYI, the local fuzz are watching PV Drive east a lot these days ... speeding crotch-rockets and sports cars are their main targets on this twisty stretch of road down to the coast now

Posted by: sb914 Oct 4 2017, 08:06 AM

So it's that time again.Saturday 11-4-17 Pca meet at Glory days in seal beach. 914 "cone zone" again. Last year I think we had 25-30 914s save the day and come on out. Maybe we can do a drive afterwards.

Will not be able to park in the cone zone though, best I can do is wear my 914 T-shirt that day!

If you haven’t been to Seal Beach before it’s got an old-time Main Street atmosphere between PCH and the Seal Beach Pier. Plenty of interesting shops and just a pleasant atmosphere; wives and kids can have fun here. Parking on Main Street is free.
And, Main Street has 3 Irish pubs for the adventurous....

Let's beat our previous turnout at the Seal Beach PCA cone zone for the 914; we had 25+ show previously. The I405, 605, and 22 all have a Seal Beach off ramp and PCH is just a couple of miles away.

Posted by: Beach914 Oct 8 2017, 11:57 AM

So how was it? How many turned out?

Anyone got pictures to post?

Posted by: drem914 Oct 31 2017, 01:46 PM

So should we move back the departure to 6:45 for a 7:30 arrival? Google says 45 mins. to drive PCH from Crystal Cove to Glory Days. Whatever everyone is comfortable with.

Posted by: sb914 Oct 31 2017, 01:52 PM

Sounds good !

Posted by: ValcoOscar Oct 31 2017, 03:57 PM

Posted by: BigFour1973 Nov 3 2017, 10:30 AM

Why not 55 to the 405, or even 55 to the 22? 91 puts you too far north and you'll have to come down the 605.

Good morning!

Where did you guys go on Saturday? I attended the doughnut Derrilics in Huntington Beach but I saw no 914s over there.

I arrived at 7am, you may have gone by that time?

Let me know for next time.

Posted by: Steve Nov 14 2017, 09:40 AM

I stayed home last Saturday. Couldn't decide where to go...
This Saturday is the PCA OCR Porsche and Pastries at Enderle Center in Tustin
http://enderlecenter.com/
They say its 8-10, but all the good spots are full by 7.
I will be there this Saturday. Lots of nice Porsche's and some VW's. Not as nice a selection as San Clemente, but I am not going to a 9am Cars & Coffee.

Posted by: Socalandy Nov 14 2017, 11:59 AM

I'll be there too Auto Kennal is after this event but has very limited parking, maybe 20 cars full

Posted by: BigFour1973 Nov 14 2017, 03:02 PM

Posted by: Larmo63 Nov 19 2017, 11:31 AM

It's really fun to go to these events in a 914 now. The Porsche "aficionados" seem to have really woken up to how cool 914s are, and how cool they can be if done right. We drove in with all five of our cars in a group. Of course, Andy's killer yellow /6 & Jim's beautiful Tangerine /6 received the most initial photo snaps from the gathered Porsche paparazzi as we entered. Overall, a great reception and interest in the formerly unloved 914 model. Somehow, my 'Underdog' appears in the middle of one shot by mistake.

Posted by: Larmo63 Feb 24 2019, 08:06 PM

That is Oscar's /6.

It's hard to miss, such a tough car. The orange is over the top and works perfectly.

It was so nice to meet a fellow 914 freak from across the pond. James was a perfect gentleman, and somehow he bought breakfast for us all. We really had a good drive, I encourage everyone to join in on these impromptu drives. A good time was had by all, and good that the cop that was behind Jerry (that I missed in the rear-view mirror) didn't pull me over.

Posted by: LS1V8Jerry Feb 24 2019, 08:32 PM

Mystery solved.....thank you.

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 01:54 PM

I landed back in London a couple of hours ago, and I am still BUZZING from the drive yesterday morning.

Oscar is a legend for loaning me his car, and I thank you all for making me feel so welcome.

It was still dark at 5.50am when I pulled up outside Oscar's place.
I knew the satnav must have taken me to the right address, when I saw this beauty parked outside:



It was only when I wandered up the drive to introduce myself that Oscar told me: "You're taking that one!"

No time to pinch myself, Jerry arrived just then, and it was time to head out into the still dark morning:



Any worries that you SoCal guys might be slow drivers were soon gone, as Oscar opened up his black 6, and I did the same to keep up in the blue GT:

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 02:00 PM

As the sky started to turn pink and yellow, we soon arrived at Seal Beach where we met up with the rest of the group:

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 02:28 PM

Even the super warm welcome the guys offered me could not ward off the cold of the morning, so we all jumped into the cars, and headed onto the PCH...




Eddie (Eddy?) is pretty brave putting the hammer down with all that V8 power, but only skinny wheels!





Now these photos aren't the best of the bunch - it's not easy to take good shots when a) driving someone else’s car and b) your hands are shaking because you are just so darned pumped with the situation you find yourself in.





But I want to post them here as a reminder for myself of simply the most special of moments.
You SoCal guys may have gotten used to your surroundings, but this is where I found myself:

...I am at the wheel of a SWEET GT...

...Glancing left I squint into the rising sun...

...Squirting off into the road ahead of me are 914s...

...In my rearview, more 914s...

...And then, when surely it can't get any better, the vista opens up to my right...
...And I see about 50 surfers riding the waves, their trucks and even a few old VW campers parked beachside.

You have NO idea how exotic a that entire scene is to a guy from London..

It is a moment I will surely treasure until my dying day

Of course, I didn't actually manage to get a photo of the surfers! I can just about make them out as dots on the sea in this one...

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 02:31 PM

It wasn't long before the pier at Huntingdon Beach came into view:




Jim was still keeping up at the back!

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 02:35 PM

Lawrence led us a merry dance through the back streets of Huntingdon, our exhausts waking the joggers and dog walkers, up early to buy their over priced coffees.

And then we found ourselves facing the pier. GREAT photo opp!

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 02:38 PM

More scaring of the locals whilst being led by our pied piper, Larmo...
Next thing we knew the sound of his pipes had led us out onto Balboa Island:

Posted by: ValcoOscar Feb 25 2019, 02:48 PM

James-

It was our pleasure having you join us. Nice pictures and write up.
I felt the same way when I meet up with the Nor-Cal, East Coast and South West 914 groups.
I've been part of different car scenes over the past 40 years but the 914 community rocks, IMHO!!!

Gotta give a shout out to Andy and all admin...thx for giving us this playground.


Oscar

Good to meet you James. What a great day. Had a blast.

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 03:18 PM

Oh, for sure... the 914 community rocks... if our cars are misfits, then how about us the owners!?



















I LOVE this car!

Posted by: 23e Heure Feb 25 2019, 03:21 PM

I think it's safe to say that I made five new friends yesterday.

Thanks guys for making me an honorary SoCal region member.

Work will bring me back to LA soon, I'm just hoping I can make it coincide with another chance to be part of the crew again...

This thread has been a bit quiet...
Are you guys still doing your last Sunday of the month drives?
I'm hoping to be back later in the year, and will try tagging along again!

In the meantime, I've been spending most of my time in Asia with work, but am trying to meet with Porsche folks wherever I go.

Here is a morning in Bangkok, for your pleasure:
http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=64686

No 914s that morning, but one of the guys I met there is part way thru a full resto of a 74 2.0, and I hope to snap that on one of my later visits to Thailand.
He reckons that there are less than 5 914s alive and running in all of Thailand!

Posted by: ValcoOscar May 3 2019, 09:00 AM

Hey James-

Good to hear from you...we tend to have informal drives and meet ups here in So Cal all the time.
Let us know in advance and maybe we can hit up a different area to drive to next time.

Curious of the condition of the 5 914's in Thailand with all that humidity.

Take care and safe travels,

Oscar

Posted by: jim_hoyland May 3 2019, 09:47 AM

James,

The 2019 WCR is coming up this June in Monrovia and surrounds. See the thread in the garage; great opportunity to meet more 924’s and drive in the local mountains.

Great to see Josh and his daughter.

Thx for joining us. Need picture?

Posted by: FL 000 Jun 30 2019, 12:52 PM

My daughter was more interested in the dogs than the cars, but I'll declare it a success none the less!

Went to start the car when leaving and nothing Messed around with it little bit and I think the starter solenoid wiring got too close the the exhaust and shorted. Bump start got us going and no issues the rest of the way home. Till the next time...

Posted by: sb914 Jun 30 2019, 01:07 PM

Looks like it is/was a nice event.

Posted by: 914_7T3 Jun 30 2019, 02:22 PM

Great morning with friends! Summer time in LA and I had it Made in the Shade next to this '74 Acapulco Thing (1 of 400)





The 356 was the featured car of the day!



@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=17219 's car was the only 914 that was photographed by me today!

Back at you...let's not forget Michelle.

Here's Larmo, Eddy, Me and James upon our return.

Oddly no freeway traffic this morning as we drove back so we had a opportunity to exercise these cars a bit.

Left us with smiles...

Oscar

Posted by: sb914 Jul 1 2019, 06:19 AM

I think we made it home in twenty minutes!

Posted by: 23e Heure Jul 1 2019, 11:32 AM

Another fantastic morning, I am humbled again by the friendly welcome of the SoCal gang... and of course the loan of another car by Oscar!

Thanks for the photo Lawrence, that's a corker.
I'll ping you details of some events in Europe for you to think about.

The drive back along the freeway was a serious buzz. Still smiling this morning

Posted by: 914_teener Jul 1 2019, 04:05 PM

Ok...I give. "Corker" I love to learn.

I know bonnet=hood.

corker=? excellent? So is it like a good corked beer? Is that the history of our not so common language?

Share please.

Posted by: sb914 Jul 1 2019, 04:12 PM

Posted by: euro911 Jul 1 2019, 04:22 PM

cork·er
/ˈkôrkər/e
noun: corker; plural noun: corkers

an excellent or astonishing person or thing.

The first time I heard the term, was in a Tom Cruise/Nichole Kidman movie, Far and Away ...

Very funny but these words must come with a = to make it understandable ...thanks Paul

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 2 2019, 09:28 PM

Can you interpret this in English?

American English please.

I looked up Fairy Snuff. Look at the synonyms.

Gave me a good craic....sorry....that's Irish.

Two countries divided by a common language.

Posted by: Larmo63 Jul 3 2019, 04:01 PM

Okay, so there were times on the way home (the way we drove) that I had the Mickey scared out of me.

I thought I was Jack Jones, but you guys caught up to me and passed me.

Some day I'll learn proper English.

Posted by: euro911 Jul 3 2019, 04:27 PM

"fooshy goober"
A fooshy goober is a term of endearment used for an amazing friend. It’s mostly used on someone goofy, funny, and an all around great person. If you are called a fooshy goober it may sound like a mean name but trust me it means you’re goofy nice and a great person. It can also be used if someone screws up in a funny way.

Posted by: rgalla9146 Jul 3 2019, 06:28 PM

Whoo Hoo !
Now I know what my Best Friend For Life Larmo looks like.
We will fight the Good Fight.
I wish I could have tore it up with you guys.

Yep..... we were shunned again. No 914 cone zone this year! That’s ok I didn’t renew my pca membership because of it.

Son of a...

I had tomorrow off until about 3pm today. In San Diego (Old Town) until 12/19. I'd really like to get out and see some 914s!

Posted by: drem914 Nov 8 2019, 10:11 PM

But the question is are you still going?
I know I am going. Looks like a good day to get out in the morning.

Posted by: Steve Nov 8 2019, 10:39 PM

I just posted that screenshot, so everyone had the time and address.

Posted by: drem914 Nov 8 2019, 10:43 PM

Are you taking the coast or the freeway there from LN.

The bastard Boxters have to park elsewhere in the lot, eh?

Posted by: drem914 Nov 10 2019, 11:25 AM

Caymans were the featured "cone zone" cars, but there was more interest in our 914s than the Caymans and we had just about as many as they did. Was a little disappointed in the overall P-car turn out. It was pretty light.

Posted by: Steve Nov 10 2019, 11:42 AM

Except for the 914’s and catching up with my fellow 914 nuts, it was pretty boring. PCA OCR is similar.
Nice friendly people though.
I am a bigger fan of Crystal Cove Cars & Coffee. More older cars and some very rare cool stuff!!

Posted by: drem914 Nov 10 2019, 01:01 PM

Agreed, they supposedly had 800+ at C&C-San Clemente, yesterday. Going to have to try that next week, just for the sheer variety.

Posted by: sb914 Nov 11 2019, 06:42 AM

Sorry !

Posted by: Steve Nov 11 2019, 08:26 AM

Don’t be sorry, it was worth the drive just to catch up with you and see your awesome car. PCA is mainly newer cars so too some of us it’s boring. Just making the comment that Crystal Cove and San Clemente cars & Coffee has a lot more older cars to check out. You need to come down to Crystal Cove. Jim makes the drive occasionally. It’s about 30 minutes north for me.
