The dealer rep from Swepco will be on hand, as well as Mike's 914.

Member Ian Stott is coming all the way from Moncton, NB.

Posted by: balljoint Jun 10 2005, 12:19 PM

I am going to try and make it, should be good but it depends on work. If I do then I will volunteer for some duties (not doodies).




What other ways are you advertising this? Maybe I can help that way too.

Just spoke with another local owner interested in attending.

I know a great little hotel in Wawa. That is my halfway point.
From Winnipeg to Kenora you can dodge deer.
From Kenora to S S Marie you can dodge moose.
If you go through Michigan, you can dodge deer again.
Keeps you alert.

The drive through northern Ontario is pretty awesome, a VIA Rail ticket would let you watch scenery and never have to stop for gas. They probably wouldn't let you take a turn at the wheel though.

I think I've had a few beers at that hotel in Wawa, many years ago.

You can make it.

Posted by: Mark Henry Jun 12 2005, 08:15 AM

Bruce I've done the drive to Thunder Bay and that took almost 24hrs of driving...

Next weekend I'm going to the Concours d'Elegance, Sunday June 19, 2005, Appleby College, Oakville to hand out flyers to the Porsche crowd.

I will also be hitting all the bug shows I can with flyers.

I've updated my first post of this thread.

I can not offer camping...but if some of my 914 friends squatted on my property I might not notice till sunday

I'll figure out a bunch of links to local accomdations and get them on my site soon.

Posted by: GWN7 Jun 12 2005, 09:30 AM

Going the North Shore is way longer..... the mapquest route goes thru the USA (cheaper gas too)

I've driven the North Shore several times. Yes it's beautiful, but If I'm driving a 914 that far I want people every 200-300 miles incase I need help. :

Posted by: LongARM Jun 16 2005, 06:48 PM

yeah... i will be there (if it doesn't rain ..hehehe)
1972 914 1.7L all original (except a new ear from Mikes914s).

We've been busy bushhoging out the grounds and my brother is filling any holes, etc.

I'll be at the June Jitter Bug this Sunday handing out flyers, mostly bug guys but it's a 200-300 show car event with at least 2000+ spectators.

Do Bug guys like 914 guys? Or do they think our cars are Porsches and call them NARVs?

Posted by: Mark Henry Jun 20 2005, 10:27 AM

That's funny...couple of years ago I was at a bug show and a guy said "that doesn't look like a VW to me".

Most of the bug guys will drool over the P-cars....but some won't admit it.

Posted by: Mark Henry Jun 20 2005, 10:31 AM

We have at least a half dozen 914's coming...I'd like to see at least 3 times that number.

Who's bringing their 914? Come on guy's get them off those jackstands!

I'd like to be there, but it's the day after my wedding and I think my wife would rather spend the first day of our honeymoon in a slightly more romantic and exotic location.

Nice tractor, though.

I've been approched by the Audi club as they also have no show. Alex from the German look forum might be handling that end. I'll know more later today.

Looks like we might have a large all VAG show happening here!

WE ARE ALMOST ALL READY FOR THE SHOW !!!!!!

Still lots to do, signs to make, etc. but it’s moving along.

There will be good signs on most routes to the show, watch for them!

Zoom out to level 6 and you can see Elizabethville, whoever made these maps is on crack

Posted by: ajracer Aug 21 2005, 08:34 PM

OK - at least I will pass along "my vehicle" and info since I went to the show !
details below are from another thread.


Puppy is RUNNING !!!

Since I never really finished the vehicle to drive it to the "Canadian Por Volks Festival"
hosted by Mark's Airt Cooled; I decided to at least get it mobile and trailered to he show.

Since this is a "work in progress - project car" I thought it would be a great idea.
Even brought along some tools, supplies, etc to complete a few last minute minor
details to "Fire-up" at the show. Was not able to keep my appointment yesterday
to have the mufflers installed, but hey open header still sound GOOD to me!
So after taking deliver of the roller last summer, I decided after a year it would be
a good idea to at least wash the dirty car which spent the last twelve months in
garage(s) was on jack stand. Only yesterday did I get to install the 944 turbo axles,
added water this mornring. Like any conversion project there are problems or the
unexpected and the teener was no exception. After connecting the electric fuel
pump wires found no power and had to build a last minute harness and a few minor
items before fire up. She picked up the fuel so quickly I think I might have even
flooded the engine. But no start; so backwards we go checking items and found a
couple problems which were corrected.

Turn the key and she sputters a few times, relocate all the plug wires one position
on the distributor cap and try again THIS time she takes right off and within
seconds (with open headers) a few bystanders decided to check out this loud noise
and wonder what kind of vehicle it this ??

Attached photo of the nice (but not so pretty teener) on her way after boarding
the trailer. More info to follow soon, still need to add mufflers and adjust up the
clutch linkage. Driving it seems like a reality this week !!!!!!

1972 Signal Orange

Posted by: davep Aug 22 2005, 12:37 PM

Yeah, sorry. I ran out of frames on the camera at that point.

The Signal orange 72 of LongARM was really nice also. Notice every car except for ajracer had an LE style spoiler installed, and each of the judged cars also had the original DOT decals in place. All these cars were basically 'unrestored' in that while they may have had repaints, none had been stripped and thoroughly restored. They are great examples of 'survivors'.

Thanks for a great time Mark! We'll se ya next year, and hopefully one of my cars will be done by then.

How much more is the alcohol content in CAN? Nice showing guys, I know it's not easy to show up with a 914...

Posted by: ajracer Aug 23 2005, 09:16 PM

It was a fun time by all, even though it would be nice to see more vehicles.

Seeing how I actually arrived early Sunday morning; after spending many
hours over the weekend just to get to "trailer" the 914-8 to the event. Never
won any awards but personally I know the determination and effort paid off
to get there. Seeing how mine was entered as a project car, it was actually
interesting to have others there assist and help out with trying to get the
new engine fired for the 1st. time. So in a way it was shared project and
thus more enjoyable time.

For the LOUDEST in show I gave myself an award even though Mark never
officially had this "special" class award. Even David P. (an authority on 914's)
had vouched for that earlier in this post. So at least I got ONE award.

Update since the show; the engine is basically sorted out, and runs and idles
well; with mufflers being installed at this time. After couple of minor items I should
be cruising the streets of Toronto very, very soon !!! Vrooom Vroom

PS. Thanks to all those that hosted, worked and assisted with the event and

Alcohol content is only one point higher, on average 5%, you folks drink what we call light beer. HOWEVER, I usually drink Kilkenny or Guinness,which is 4%, and even though Bud is brewed up here by Labatt's I still prefer the Southern version, whenever I'm visiting, or sledding for that matter. Hey Mark, how about a beer tent for a liability next year.... at least start the rumour

I wish more bugs had shown up, but for the first year and less than 3 months prep time we did OK.
The 914 showing was outstanding.

Next year were going to try for sponsors...dealerships, big vendors, Canadian tire, better web page, etc, I can get some local radio spots for free, I was told after the fact.

We already have a long list of improvements and thing to do for next year. I'm going to hit more shows with flyers, internet, etc., etc., etc.

Allan PM me your snail mail addy...you did win loudest of show buddy

Also Ian from Moncton NB won the distance traveled if you could also send your mail info.

The beer thing would cost large for the insurance...as I said what I don't see... Dave Eddy and I had a couple of pops after the show.

Camping the night before is what I wanted and my insurance said no...maybe waivers...anyways I check it out.

Hey Mark,
Thanks to you, Kim and the rest of your crew for putting this on. I had a great time. Lets get the word out and go for double the numbers of cars next year. One of the other boards that I hang out on made up business cards for the site. The idea was that members carried the cards in the car and put them on the windshields of other owners cars. Maybe we could steal the idea and use them to promote not only this forum but the por volks as well.

Fuel pump goes in this weekend. Cross your fingers. If I can scrape up the coin to get the tub to Mike this winter I'll be bringing mine to the next por volks.

to  mark: would you know where the vw guys would be posting pics from your  event..??? some beautiful vw and ghias there...wow turbo-charged beetles... (sounds like a rock-band........hehe) thanx

Here is a link to some VW pics from the show .. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2088755&page=2

I own the yellow beetle with the 18" Cup II wheels and a 2.0 914 T4 in the back with FAT 911 cooling. I also have a 901 5 speed installed .. made that trip on the 401 at 140KPH a breeze.

My plans for this winter are to install my Megasquirt / EDIS / Garrett T3 turbo setup .. all the parts are on the workbench just waiting to be installed

That will make 3 turboed aircooled beetles for next years show !

Hey Mark, Really enjoyed meeting you, just got back to Moncton on Tuesday evening and have been so busy I just logged on now. I came home to a tub I had purchased sight unseen from Yves in Brockville, I am going to use the floorpans and the longs from it. I hope to drive mine to the show next year. Thank you for recognizing me as the person who travelled the farthest, I came via New Jersey so that was really the long way!! Your wife is a very nice lady and I had a good chat with her, enjoyed meeting other owners and I learned a lot. Hope to attend next year, I put it in my day planner!

Yeah, I think we all had a great time. Next year we will have to drag at least one more person each to the show.

Oh, damn, caught on camera. Oh well, it is blurry enough I may still remain annonymous.

Hey there
Nan and I had a great time!! But I forgot to tell Nan to sit in a "nice" 'teener. Even the Bugs, and vans and WC VW's were. The people were cool! EVERYTHING was cool. The jazzfest in Unionville was cool. Markham was a little crowded!
Mark, thanks alot for the gasket kit!

A ferry! Man the Rochester/Cobourg car ferry hasn't run in 54years. I wish it did.

I think there is a passenger ferry to Toronto but the last I heard it was almost bankrupt.

The 1000 Islands Bridge gets you almost right on the Hwy 401 then head west. Almost a couple hours from there to Port Hope

Or it's Niagara Falls and head east on the QEW to the 401 to the other side of Toronto.
