Just saw this posted on FB from some friends of mine. The weekend before WCR 2019 there is a Cars & Coffee at the Porsche Experience in Carson, CA. With everyone prepped to gather the following weekend, it might be impressive to have a large contingent of the original mid-engine Porsches get together.
How many here would be interested?


Come visit us the first Saturday of the month, June 1st, 2019 at 8:00 AM PST for our monthly Morning Shift Cars & Coffee! Bring your favorite vehicle and join us for a complimentary coffee. All makes, models, spectators, and photographers are welcome. No entry or registration fee required.


This month we're featuring all mid-engine Porsche models. We can't wait to see yours!

Specialty coffee and refreshments available for purchase at Speedster Cafe at 8:00 AM.

Restaurant 917 will be open for brunch from 9:30 AM until 2:30 PM. Reservations are highly recommended. Please contact Restaurant 917 at 1.310.527.0917 or visit www.restaurant917.com.

any 914world member going?

“This month featuring all mid-engine Porsche models.”

Posted by: sb914 May 24 2019, 05:37 AM

I’d be in if we can get a few teeners

Posted by: 914-300Hemi May 24 2019, 06:54 AM

I’m in

Posted by: 914_teener May 24 2019, 07:02 AM

I have a mid engined Porsche.

If it.s not raining I.ll go.

Posted by: sb914 May 24 2019, 07:23 AM

It never rains in Southern California.

Posted by: ndfrigi May 24 2019, 08:17 AM

hehehe maybe 2 decades ago!

Well forecast next saturday is sunny but around 70F. Should be a cool morning!

Posted by: drem914 May 24 2019, 10:00 AM

I'm in and would think it would be great to have a big turn out. We've done it before for PCA-GPX with 25+. Also a couple months ago when they did the auto museum in El Segundo there were over 30 there.

Posted by: abes914 May 24 2019, 12:08 PM

i think i can attend.

Posted by: drem914 May 24 2019, 01:38 PM

I'll keep a running tally at Post #1

Posted by: ndfrigi May 24 2019, 03:27 PM

I’m In. Abe and Eddy, let’s meet that morning and head there at the same time. Well 914 still in the project mode, good my 986 is a mid engine.

Posted by: burton73 May 24 2019, 03:46 PM

I think I can make it in my 928. Not mid Eng. but 50/50 weight ratio.

My 6 is getting much closer.

Posted by: Bulldozer27 May 24 2019, 07:05 PM

Tentatively in.

Posted by: Robarabian May 24 2019, 09:45 PM

I am a tentative yes. What time will everyone get there, 0800? If anyone is coming in from Ventura County, we could caravan.. heck, even Santa Clarita, I could meet off the 405 or I-5....

Posted by: drem914 May 24 2019, 09:51 PM

8 sounds about right.
South OC group will be leaving around 7, 7:30 if your around Seal Beach.
Ayers Hotel-Seal Beach is a good meet up spot off the 405 & 22.

Posted by: Larmo63 May 24 2019, 11:26 PM

I'll be at Ayers Hotel before 7:00......

That is a good designated meeting spot that we've used numerous times.

Posted by: oldschool May 25 2019, 02:26 AM

Sounds good...anyone coming near pomona?

Posted by: campbellcj May 25 2019, 06:31 AM

I've been trying to get to one of these for months; have never been to PECLA yet. I will make a definite effort. Will be in the Turbo.

Posted by: 914_teener May 25 2019, 12:31 PM

I.ll drive with you. Taking the 987.

Posted by: jim_hoyland May 25 2019, 01:45 PM

I’m planning to go; is on-line registration needed ?

Posted by: Coondog May 25 2019, 02:21 PM

Gotta work.... Stupid Fire Dept always getting in the way of my 914 fun.

Posted by: drem914 May 25 2019, 02:49 PM

I dont think so. I went back to the website and there is no registration req. as far as I can tell. I also contacted the event organizer to see if they will have a mid engine "cone zone." I figured we could get a sizable turn out of members here. I have not heard back yet. I'll check again after the holiday weekend.

I’m coming from San Dimas.

Posted by: 914 Ranch May 27 2019, 01:47 AM

it seems that I was caught up in my own enthusiasm and during editing made a double post.

Posted by: 914 Ranch May 27 2019, 01:50 AM

Come on you guys. This group has had over 30 cars to a Bar-B-Q at Team NARP Headquarters (Huntington Beach). This is a good as going to Coffee and Cars and The Streets of Willow '09 WCR where 50 914's showed up. I'm not moving back so all y'all need to get motivated and start representing the rest of us. Us not representing is I believe akin to Porsche not racing a 914 in the 1970 La Mans 24, thank god Sonauto was smart enough to put thier spares from their 911 race car into #40.
It seems that I have found some inspiration here.

Posted by: drem914 May 27 2019, 08:45 AM

Thanks for the call out. We should be able to get at least 25 or more out there, especially with everyone having there cars ready for WCR the following weekend. Good weather is expected. It is a Great Porsche venue if you have not been there before and a central location for everyone to reach from OC, LA, SB and Riverside.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon May 27 2019, 09:35 AM

We will be there in the 2L hot rod, and I'll bug my pal to bring his 2.7L as well; so
Maltese Falcon, MattyLite and screenguy914 ....see y'all there !

Posted by: drem914 May 28 2019, 03:06 PM

Posted by: drem914 May 29 2019, 09:05 AM

bumping again to see if we can't get more that a dozen cars to show up in the middle of summer, at a Porsche built testing track, a week before 50+ 914's gather for WCR

Posted by: SRS914 May 29 2019, 10:20 AM

I'm in.

Posted by: 914Toy May 29 2019, 10:36 AM

I will join the group at Ayers Hotel by 7:00.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon May 29 2019, 11:59 AM

Harry W. will be attending, not a member here but his 914 is a SoCal legend

Posted by: Marv's3.6six May 29 2019, 02:08 PM

See y'all at the Ayers Hotel, Seal Bch Blvd & Lampson 7:00A

Hey, this looks like a great event! Count us in!

We're new to 914World and haven't been to the PEC as of yet. We are planning to come up from Del Mar with our 1970 914-6 that we will also be taking to WCR.

Like you say, I hope that they will have a designated cone area for the 914s since they are featuring the model. It should be quite a nice showing of 914s.

We would greatly appreciate if we could meet up with those at the Ayers Hotel and caravan up so we can be part of "the group". I see that that group will be leaving Ayers Hotel (Seal Beach) at 7:00? We will leave Del Mar at 5:15 AM. I will try to touch base with those meeting at the hotel. (Wonder if anyone else is coming from the San Diego area?)

We think we may also take in the PCLA Driving Tour too. I went to the site pcalosangeles.com/events as you suggested and see that they have revised the Meeting time to 10:30 and Departure to 10:45. I will make sure we register by 6:00 PM Thursday.

Looking forward to meeting lots of "teeners" and seeing your cars!

Thanks for coordinating all of this.

BTW Mary's3.6Six......Awesome silver 914 pictured!!!! Put wings on that baby and I bet she would fly! WOW!

Posted by: whitetwinturbo May 29 2019, 09:44 PM

...........darn! I sooooooooo want to come to this one BUT work conflicts prevent same

Posted by: oldschool May 29 2019, 10:02 PM

Posted by: drem914 May 29 2019, 10:03 PM

Glad to have you here. Look forward to seeing you Saturday. Look for the group at the back parking area at the Ayers hotel. No word back yet on the cone zone. I think we may have met at C&C in San Clemente last year. I even had a photo of your car.

Posted by: ndfrigi May 29 2019, 10:32 PM

Abe @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=12880 and I will be joining the group at Ayers hotel by 7am. Not sure if Eddy @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=15191 will join us there too.

Posted by: 914SIXXation May 29 2019, 11:21 PM

Thanks so much for the welcome, Ayers hotel meet spot, and car photo! Looking forward to seeing you again. If I recall, that day we went up to the San Clemente C&C with the San Diego Region Porsche Club. It was a stop on their way up to the Porsche Display at The Petersen. We had already gone two times so just elected to do part of the trip to San Clemente C&C.

I wonder how many of our group will be going on the tour after C&C?

Posted by: Steve May 30 2019, 01:15 AM

I will also meet everyone at the Ayers hotel. See you then!!

Posted by: sb914 May 30 2019, 03:51 AM

You’re car done Steve ? I’ll be at Ayers around 7:00-7:15 it’s only around 20 minutes (10 in my car ) to Carson.

Posted by: Steve May 30 2019, 08:01 AM

Yes it’s back together, thanks to Keith for helping the last two weekends to speed up the process.

Posted by: 914 Ranch May 30 2019, 08:06 AM

Now you guys are talking. Makes me want to be there and I really like the meeting point. Right at the freeway. it's only about 6 miles from Team NARP Headquarters and 2500 miles from where me and my car are.

I'm going to be in town for September 14th. I'll start a new thread.

Posted by: ndfrigi May 30 2019, 08:30 AM

Congrats Steve! Your car didn’t really take long being repainted! See u saturday morning!

Posted by: Steve May 30 2019, 10:30 AM

I dropped it off at the body shop January 1st.
I got it back April 13th.

Posted by: burton73 May 30 2019, 10:45 AM

Just so you know what non 914 is mine. My 6 #41 is almost ready

Posted by: drem914 May 30 2019, 11:20 AM

Will be talking with the event coordinator today or tomorrow to see about a "cone zone," preferred arrival time and any other particulars. Will keep you posted. See you there

Posted by: Steve May 30 2019, 12:22 PM

Love the sharks!!

Posted by: 914SIXXation May 31 2019, 09:53 AM

Hi Steve,
Looking forward to meeting up with you at the Ayers Hotel. We've never been there but will make sure we arrive by 7:00 AM. From the postings, it looks like others meeting up at Ayers include sb914, 914Toy, Mary's3.6six, ndfrigi, and abes914. So with us would be 7 cars (unless some have changed plans).

Do you know if there is a gas station near Ayers as we may top up since we are going on the PCLA driving tour afterwards. (Will try to do that before we meet at Ayers if possible.)

Looking forward to tomorrow! See you at Ayers!

Posted by: drem914 May 31 2019, 10:36 AM

I should be there along with Larmo and a couple others.
Closest station, a 76, I could see online. North of the hotel by about a mile.
https://binged.it/2JR5fkQ
Those around the area may be able to give you some other options

Posted by: sb914 May 31 2019, 10:56 AM

There’s a Mobil north of the hotel about 1/4 mile ,and 76 a little further north.

Posted by: 914SIXXation May 31 2019, 12:14 PM

Thanks so much to drem914 and SB914!

Posted by: Steve May 31 2019, 01:05 PM

Thanks!! I live in south Orange County and do not know that area very well.

Posted by: drem914 May 31 2019, 01:31 PM

For anyone coming from the south to Ayer's Hotel, apparently every night the 405 North gets overnight lane closures in the area of Westminster, for overpass construction. Caltrans lists the closure ending by 6am. Keep that in mind or check it out on your navigation app as you head north. Depending on the closure you may have to detour if they are not cleared out in time. I'll try to post an update before heading out tomorrow morning. Thanks

Posted by: Bulldozer27 May 31 2019, 02:36 PM

A friend of mine who was at this C&C last month recommends that us 914s arrive at the gate by 7:45 to ensure that we'll get parking when it opens at 8am.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=9062 : please add this to your first post on this thread.

Posted by: drem914 May 31 2019, 03:15 PM

So added, Thanks. I still have not heard back from the coordinator. Will try again this afternoon.

Posted by: drem914 May 31 2019, 09:31 PM

Here is the voice mail reply back from the coordinator..

First, they are happy we are coming tomorrow.
Second, access to the designated area for featured cars is on a first come, first served basis.
Third, they look forward to seeing us tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow..

Posted by: sb914 Jun 1 2019, 06:58 AM

REALLY? no rain here .

Posted by: drem914 Jun 1 2019, 07:03 AM

sigalert.com says the 405N freeway has a closure for Cal trans work at Westminster.

Posted by: horizontally-opposed Jun 1 2019, 12:23 PM

^ Nice call in adding to the VIN list!

Started life as a normal 914-6, purchased (slightly used?) by Jeff Zwart with paper route money his father forced him to save when everyone else was buying the 911T over the 914-6. He's kept the car ever since. It was flared later on, and appeared in photos for a Road & Track salon on the 914-6, I think? Later used for the Panama Alaska Rally, and more. Was shipped over to New Zealand for a birthday party and hillclimb in honor of Millen (video below). Talk about a cool party...and a cool car.

By all counts we had 22+ along the center "featured vehicle area." Nice turnout for a gloomy Saturday morning. Several more left their 914's at home, but looking forward to seeing them next weekend at WCR.

Posted by: 914SIXXation Jun 3 2019, 01:06 AM

Thanks for sharing the great photos. Here are some that I took, Super time at C&C Saturday. Great time meeting so many 914 enthusiasts and seeing all of the fantastic 914s and other cars. Can't imagine what it will be like at WCR .... see you there! [attachmentid=699
