914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Having 914 Withdrawal symptoms

Posted by: Neil914 Nov 28 2016, 11:40 AM

I just moved to Fort Lauderdale to pursue a career in yachting but my 914 is sitting in my dad's garage in Colorado and I won't get to it for months. Are there any enthusiasts in the area that would take me for a ride or be interested in talking Porches and beyond? Maybe even turn a few wrenches. I am big into to autocross by the way.

I am in Colorado Springs but I could have some fun in those cars for free. Used to have a Guards Red 996 with the IMS fix but would love to rag out another 996/997. Right now just regular driving is ragging out my 1976 914 2.0. Little but of electrical quirks...but under a car cover for winter. I do give thanks to Mark at 914 rubber for getting my seals in order.

Next mission, getting a Stage 2 Roush supercharger for the 2015 Stang at 720 HP after install. Just paid off that dang stang....LOL

Simple, solution for your simple concern.

Buy a keg, when you feel sad, down a gallon of your favorite and it will disappear. beer3.gif

Hi and Welcome to Sunny Florida.

We have a very active Gold Coast Region here who are into DEs, AXs, show and socializing. There are probably 7-10 Teeners here but most have multiple Porsches.

December 3rd (the first Saturday of the month) is Porsches and Pancakes just west of you at Kristof's Kafe, 8912 W. State Road 84 in the Pine Island Ridge Plaza beginning at 7:45am and there is a potluck dinner on Sunday the 4th at a member's home.

Give me a call and I'll fill you in on everything, and WELCOME!! piratenanner.gif

I'll be happy to drive either one of those to Florida for you for the price of a plane ticket home. biggrin.gif

Clever thought, but I would do the same.

At 20 years old....I think you have nothing to worry about. The car has outlived you. It will be fine. Career in yachting....living in Florida, I think you should feel sorry about me....LOL

Would you be interested in contributions to my fund me account? So a retired vet can restore his first car overseas in the military;)
