r_towle..... sounds like your place should be the place of the first

we can wait. I do have a few ideas and tips.... BUT I do need help suggestions tips for the group.
Niece
so please shoot me an email let me know when is best for you. (for the first formal/informal meeting.. since everyone knows you and have been there)
Posted by: r_towle Sep 13 2017, 05:46 PM
I suggest September 30th so we can include mark and John .
If that works for everyone (or Sunday) let's get that booked so we can tell anyone not on the board anymore.
Scott, ed, Chris, John (another John we just met)
Maybe a list so we don't leave anyone out?
Posted by: rhcb914 Sep 13 2017, 07:00 PM
I'm in East Bridgewater and game for a meet up.
Posted by: wndsnd Sep 13 2017, 08:59 PM

I understand if everyone prefers Saturday. Let me know.
Glad to meet Niece at another time and place.

914 luva
10/1/17 it was so nice to meet some of the local 914 owners.
I want to thank Rich and his wife for welcoming us
and then even making an awesome lunch for us.
(the chili was very very good)
So, what I am taking from the people who attended is
if we get together will be nice to see each other and
talk 914 stuff.... BUT there were questions and answers
that would have never been asked or answered on the forum here
FUTURE: Can we meet in another location
( to see/work/talk... on a work in progress)
how about February 2018. can someone please step up and
host the 914 mass/new england 914 owners?
question: can I put together a list of 914 vendors in the mass/new england area?
ex: where would you take you 914 if needed welding?
engine work?
paint? alignment?
etc?
where do you take/send your 914 for work?
who has a trailer the 914 new england group can rent/use?
these questions and answers are specific to mass/new england.
Niece (please send me an email with your information 9fourteen14@gmail.com)
Posted by: r_towle Oct 1 2017, 06:21 PM
If you have these questions, ask.
Are you looking for someone to work on your car?
If so, ask.
Are you looking to borrow a trailer to bring your car somewhere?
If so, ask
There are a lot of decent folks in this area, and we try to take care of each other when someone needs something.
As you saw, we are far from formal, and I am not sure that will ever change.
If you are up for hosting an event in the future, please feel free to set it up.
Rich
Posted by: theer Oct 3 2017, 01:02 PM
Thanks to Niece for organizing.
Thanks to Lisa & Rich for hosting. We had a perfect New England Fall day in the yard. We got to check out Rich's impressive barn & collection of vehicles... 914's, at least one 911, VW Bug's, Volvo's, 356's, motorcycles, and a golf cart.
It was great to meet everyone that came out. We even had two (count 'em TWO!) 914's show up.. I think that's about 1 for every three people that joined. I'm guessing pretty typical. Someone said more 914's would show up in the Spring when everyone gets theirs running for at least a short while.
Thanks again,
Tom

I remember a yellow 1.7 being for sale on the side of the road somewhere around Ludlow maybe three or four years ago. It was in pretty sorry shape at the time and way overpriced. I wonder if that is the same one. Unlikely seeing how clean this one looks from behind, but would be a great comeback story.

Somewhere along Lombard Rd/Cady Street? Saw one under a carport maybe 8 years ago. Stopped and talked to the guy for a while. He mentioned there were plans to build a racetrack in Palmer and that his son was involved doing cuts and fills calculations for the tracks construction.
Posted by: tmc914 Oct 9 2017, 08:10 PM
Hi all, I am new here and of course, just missed the get together near where I live. Should have read the forum more often, spending to much time on ebay. Just bought a 1973 orange 914 about a month ago and have many questions. It is running now but what if it stops? Not sure where to bring it for service. Who is going to update my brakes after I mess them up trying to fix them myself? My to do list has just under 20 items so it is only a matter of time and money to touch things up on the car. Wanted a Porsche 914 since I was a teenager. Now I have one and still can't believe it.
Posted by: Porschef Oct 10 2017, 03:51 AM
This be the place. Plenty of help here, and your not far from the 914 Emporium...
Posted by: wndsnd Oct 10 2017, 06:24 AM
Welcome,
You should make yourself aware of Racer Chris, Tangerine Racing.
914 Specialist in CT.
I am sure that is who Porschef is alluding to.

Not the whole dash, but it's pretty easy to remove the gauge cluster if you mark everything.
