Hi All -

My good PCA buddy Dick D. contacted me regarding his upcoming event featuring 914s as their featured car at their GPX Region Breakfast, so all you OC, Long Beach/Lakewood, South Bay/PV, & even LA & SD Teeners come on out!

UPDATE: Dick says he can handle more than 20 if we have that many, but advises to get there before 8 am to get in all together.

<snipped>
Just like OCR , Zone 8 GPX has a cone zone at the monthly breakfast.
Our next breakfast is Sept. 3 at Glory Days in Seal Beach on PCH near Main Street.
For the month of September the 914 will be featured.

> Non PCA ok.

I usually get 10 cars for the cone zone but if your 914 friends want more spaces please let me know and we can handle up to 20 cars.

>>> Please post here if you're planning to come with your 914 to display, so I can give Dick a count.

We also would like a speaker who can tell our members a story about the 914 during our meeting.
> Informal talk about 10 minutes. Tire kicking and photo opt. [i.e.: PowerPoint/Slideshow is optional]

>>> Please PM or email me: Tom T, if you're willing to be a speaker, so I can put you in touch with Dick D.

I set up at 7:30 in the parking lot and members start arriving around 8.
Breakfast usually starts at 9: 00

Please invite your 914 friends to join us.

DD in HB
<end snip>

Unfortunately I will miss this, since I'll be in Oklahoma then for business & my big annual Cherokee Ceremonies.

Cheers!
Tom

Are any of you locals willing to talk about 914s & the 914 community, 914world, events & WCR, etc.?

Here is their GPX August Breakfast's "356 Cone Zone" photo slider FYI -

It would be nice to have a large 914 turn-out for the next one in September!

.... Okay, okay .....

356 Cone Zone from 8/6/16 GPX Breakfast - I count 4 of you so far, with Dick saying he can accommodate 10-20 - so let's try to out-do them with more 914s!

Posted by: Tom_T Aug 11 2016, 02:31 PM

Organizer Dick D. is suggesting that all y'all get there by or before 8 am to ensure he can get in everyone as it gets toward or maybe over 20.

IIRC we had 25-30 914s at the similar OCR Breakfast "914 Cone Zone" last February, even with a few unable to make it.

FYI - It might also be an alternative to have several of you do a "pass-the-mike" mini-prez on your own 914s - "Stock to Wild" to do a quickie on say a couple of the stock 1.7/1.8/2.0 /4 & factory -6 914s, as well as say Marv's excellent 3.6 transplant & sb914's sbc V8 & Ravi's 300 Hemi V8 beast, -6 conversions, etc., etc.!?


BTW - You folks attending may also want to plan an 11-2 midday "Tops-off PCH Cruise" (take the tops off the 914s too ), &/or maybe a run out to Live Oak Canyon Rd. or one of the other great OC twisty roads for after the breakfast.


You guys & gals can just organize that drive/cruise yourselves on here, since I'll be out of town then & am still without a running anyway!

Posted by: Tom_T Aug 11 2016, 02:36 PM

Hey Lawrence, just plan to go anyway, to visit & eat, with whatever other fun car in your current stable, even if your white 914 isn't ready yet!

Cheers!

Great; we don't get to see your great looking 914 these days. We should be zble to pull in 20+ card for this; spread the word...

Plus, Seal Beach is a great place to visit. Main Street runs from PCH to the pier and both sides have interesting shops and eateries.

Otherwise, Dick D. - being an ex-drill Sargent - may just line all y'all up & ask for volunteers, & whomever is slowest in taking 1 step back may be elected!

If you haven't been to Seal Beach, Glory Days is located at 620 PCH, Seal Beac, CA 90740 Located on the ocean-side of PCH next to McDonalds and Koi restaurants.

Per Tom, arrive before 8am so they can set up the cone zone; they will have coffee available.

see this saturday Jim! I'm planning to remove my HE to reseal it because of leak at the head to HE. And to adjust the valve while HE is out. Or maybe postpone it and just do it next week just to make sure I can drive my car to the event. You never know what more things will come out that need fixing and will end up hanging on a jack stand for a while.

Hey Noel. It will be the white one, but without the rear valance. Kent is working on straightening it. The tangerine one I hope to have ready for the Phoenix Club show next year. With the help of Andy and Kent it looks like a strong possibility. We got some work done on it this past Sunday. I just need to learn how to post some pictures on the site. See yous guys on Saturday.

We did dominate today…….

Just sayin'

I overheard a few 911 "snobs" saying that they now are looking for a 914 to buy.

Funny.

Posted by: ndfrigi Sep 3 2016, 10:47 PM

I feel bad when some of the 914 members or organizers tell the 911s trying to park and they where told Can't park here it is for 914s or you have to park there (where it is not much noticeable).

I didn't

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 4 2016, 06:14 AM

Definitely got a lot of attention; I think we had more cars in the cone zone than when they featured the 356's

I was admiring your fastback! Bitchin car, I loved the shelf under the dash and cup holders of integrated.

My friend had a squareback that was punched to a 1776 and that thing broke so many necks.

Posted by: Tom_T Sep 8 2016, 03:48 PM

Y'all absolutely did outdo the 356s by about 2x Jim! All y'all Dun Good!

Thanx for coming out, & Thanx to whomever gave the talk to the group.
PS - & Thanx for taking & posting the pix too!

Here's what Cone Zone organizer & ex-longtime 356 guy Dick Douglas said:

"It was the best GPX Breakfast ever!!!

Everyone love the social aspect of the cars.

Thank you so much for putting it out there to the 914 World. I met that person and family and we had a great time.

Take care.

DD"

Dick is one of ou most senior concours judges in Zone 8, & is always amazed with the 914ers turnouts at the various CdEs & events, since I started posted about them on here in 2015 when SoCalAndy was competing with his yellow -6/M471 build.

And that goes for whether we're talking entered or display 914s - just the whole group & camaraderie.

And as Lawrence said above, the tail-dragger guys are now taking notice of the 914s, & many have owned 914s in past years.

We're just not NARP anymore in most everyone's minds today!

So do continue to come out & represent the 914 community at our PCA Zone 8 events (or wherever you live).

And consider the PCA membership too, which covers 2 people & the excellent "Panorama" monthly magazine (which I MHO is now better than Excellence) for the $46 a year.

Cheers!

Those are my two daughters who loved riding to this little car. And the young boy is my nephew who visited us and now insisting his dad to finish the 73 1.7 that has been in jack stand for more than 15 years.

Posted by: Tom_T Sep 8 2016, 04:39 PM

You see, there is progress .... he's pushing Dad to get it done!

My kids too occasionally give me a to keep going on getting mine done .... or to finish the other projects & get them out of the way to get me back on my 914 as well!

Yes Dick was or is a nice guy and he did let the 911 guys not to park in that cone zone area for 914.

Posted by: Larmo63 Sep 8 2016, 05:38 PM

Actually, Tom we're not really sure if you truly do own a 914.

Posted by: Tom_T Sep 8 2016, 06:24 PM

As my Dad would say: "Wise A$$!"

Actually TWO - but it will be a "2 go in & 1 comes out" deal.



Hey, but you have to give me full credit for hanging onto mine for 31 years now, since May 1985, with the plan to get her back on the road again - & this is after my doing a +/-$7500 rolling resto already back in 1980-83 before she got whacked while parked by a ditzy gal just 2 years after completion!

I created my own "Barn Find" of sorts!

So there Sir Lawrence!

When is the next PCA GPX Breakfast and for 914 main feature?

Posted by: sb914 Nov 17 2016, 09:36 PM

Pca 1st Saturday every month. 914 not sure when

Posted by: Tom_T Nov 18 2016, 02:49 PM

I'm sure Dick Douglas from GPX,whom you met there, will shoot me an email whenever they do it again for 914s, & if you're a GPX member, then you'll get a direct email from GPX (worth the $46/yr for 2 members & 12 months of Panorama alone IMHO).

It may take GPX a whle to rotate thru the Porsche models & back to 914s again. IMHO the Regions could just make each month a standing set of featured model every year, so you know when 914s or whatever are on the docket.

Of course the OC/LA/SD are 914 folks could always do an impromptu 914 get together at any of the GPX monthly breakfasts, or OC Region's 1st Sat am at Original Mike's breakfast, 2nd Sat. roach coach car fest at Auto Kennel in Costa Mesa, 3rd Sat for Porsches & Doughnuts at Krispy Kreme at The Outlet/The Block in Orange, or 45t Sat foir Pancakes & Porsches at Woody's in Newport, .... or any other SoCal PCA Regions' events. .... or CnC for that matter.

Just post a topic in here if you're doing an impromptu one so folks will know to show, & I'll try to come if available - even in my present "running-914-less" state.

Posted by: Tom_T Feb 18 2017, 10:21 PM

Just to be clear, those pix were from the time last they featured the 914 in 2016, for which I started this thread.

I'm not sure which vehicle will be featured next month, so you'd best check on the GPX Region's website.

GPX Events -
http://gpx.pca.org/

I think that OCR is still doing cars by color now, & IIRC they will be doing yellow cars in the cone zone for March's breakfast on the first Saturday in March at Original Mike's in Santa Ana.

OCR Events -
http://www.pcaocr.com/?page=1

To be fair, GPX got the cone zone idea from us in OCR.

Also keep in mind that the big Porsche Swap Meet at the Phoenix Club in Anaheim is on March 5th, & the Porsche Lit Meet in LA on the Saturday 3/4. Both/either are well worth attending, if you can get to them too!


Tom
///////

Posted by: ndfrigi Feb 18 2017, 11:23 PM

Thanks again sir Tom! Well seems a conflict to other events! A member here sent a copy of the PCA schedules and it looks like October is the next 914 featured for the cone zone.

Posted by: Tom_T Feb 19 2017, 12:27 AM

One could still do both the Breakfast at GPX, OCR, or others, C-n-C, etc., & then go to the Porsche Lit in LA & Anaheim Swap meets.

Just need to block out the full weekend!

Maybe start a new thread closer to the Oct. GPX 914 Cone Zone, & try to get more 914s there then ... if that's possible.

Thanx for the schedule!
