Bay Area teeners are invited to join the show as a "club".
We have three 914's commited and 3 more considering joining the fun. Free admission and the opportunity to represent our 914's to thousands of attendees...

Very proud of you. Wish I were more involved. Will never forgive myself for missing SEMA!!!!
Posted by: smj Dec 23 2006, 09:09 PM
And I was just about to ask if you were going to bring the neo to a teener gathering sometime soon... So, any chance of an organized meet 'n greet of teeners on Saturday? Just figuring that's the best day for maximum turnout -- I'm tempted to take a day off to catch the show.

Great idea, sounds like an "event" in the works
Participants will have passes we can "share" and man our corral to answer questions...

Here's what I have from them so far. "Show Quality" is not defined but you can assume clean damage free condition. Thousands of people will view the cars so we should present good examples of our model. I was estimating 5 cars but the organizer said we can have more.
SHOW MANAGEMENT WILL PROVIDE AT NO COST UNLESS STATED:
• Complimentary exhibit space within the auto show in the South Hall to display 5 show quality vehicles on all show
days.
• Display one (1) courtesy sign to highlight the display
• One exhibitor badge for each vehicle owner that allows entry to the auto show during all show hours
• 10 complimentary tickets, valid for all show days
• Rope and stanchions to protect your display of vehicles
EXHIBITOR WILL PROVIDE AT NO COST UNLESS STATED:
• 5 show quality vehicles to be on display in South Hall on all show days.
• 2 or 3 total original photos or high-resolution (300 dpi) digital images of the individual vehicles to be on display.
Photos will be used for publicity purposes
• Confirmation of exact vehicles, photos, vehicle information and list of participants must be received no later than
December 15, 2006.

I'm really interested in joining the 914 crowd and getting into the San Jo show reduced price or free. I really want to see Neo in person. My '72 looks great from 15 feet and good up close. I took it to GAF and it fit right in, even got its pic on Pelican's site.
Felix- if you could post or PM more info I could definitely make it Sat-Sun and even more definitely if it is not raining for the drive down. 
Posted by: smj Dec 26 2006, 01:19 AM
Chris: This is part of why I was suggesting we try to organize a specific time to meet 'n greet around Felix' car down at the San Jose show. For various reasons I've managed to miss the weekend get togethers I've heard rumor of over on the peninsula.
Heck, I haven't even made it to the Diablo PCA Saturday breakfasts on account of the uncivilized hour they meet at. If we were meeting at Thunder Hill I'd be there at 6AM, but up and out at 7:15AM for a cholesterol and transfats special at Denny's? Not likely...

Details from the coordinator:
Move-in will most likely be Wednesday, January 10 in the afternoon hours through the evening hours, but I can confirm that later. The biggest move-in requirement is the cars can’t have more than a quarter tank (1/4) of fuel in them. This is a fire marshal regulation at the convention center. Move-out will be after the show closes to the public on Monday, January 15 at 7pm. Additional move-out time is available on Tuesday, January 16. Just make arrangements on show site.
Show Location:
San Jose McEnery Convention Center
408 South Almaden Blvd. San Jose, CA 95110
(between Almaden Blvd. and Market St.)
There is no registration fee. This would be complimentary space for anyone participating all show days. In exchange, we will include the display in the overall promotional efforts of the show. We will also give you guys auto show tickets and exhibitor badges to get you in-and-out privileges during the entire show.
Originally this display was listed under my "Bay Area Conversions" but will instead exhibit as a unified 914 enthusiast group. I plan to display NARP and 914club stickers that I currently have, and whomever else wants theirs displayed. Can a 914world or Roadglue sticker be made in time? I would also like to show vendor stickers or logos like Ghiaspecialties, Original Customs, TC Designs, MSDSinc, Series9, Renegade, etc.
Current count:
My grey neo914-6
Tom's blue Subaru 914
Olav's orange 914-6
Dan's red race 914
Michael's black 914 LE
Ed's green 914
Maybe
Ken's black concourse 914-6
Trevor's blue 914
Sat 13th lunch and photo. More details to follow...

Felix,
anxious for details....
by the way, are we on the first floor or on the main display floor?
Posted by: Michael N Dec 26 2006, 06:44 PM
Felix,
I am interesting in showing my bumblebee with this crew. I was originally concerned about having thousands of people around the cars (kids and stollers) and having something bad happen.
I feel more comfortable now knowing that the event will supply "• Rope and stanchions to protect your display of vehicles."
This sounds like alot of fun. Please count me in.
Dan- I believe the cars will be in the south hall which is the new tent like structure that the city purchased to expand for the Ebay conference several years ago. During the Champ car races it housed all the driver's rigs.

Count me in. No car but I am there!
Posted by: neo914-6 Dec 30 2006, 11:41 PM
We will have 7-8 914's!!
For those showing cars, please make sure you've read all the details and ask me now. I will talk to the coordinator on Tuesday. I also need your cell numbers if you haven't sent them yet. Move in can be crazy and it's on a weeknight so be prepared to wait as it may be a late night. You should also have a spare key available if necessary (if you trust someone to move your car).
For those attending the "meet" on Saturday the 13th, parking together may be difficult. You can also leave your number with me in case we have spare tickets to share. 
Posted by: Dan (Almaden Valley) Dec 31 2006, 12:48 AM
this should be a good time....lots of nice 914s in one spot with lots of folks seeing them in good order...
Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 3 2007, 11:30 AM
latest info:
You will receive an overnight UPS today by 3pm. It has the move-in information and onsite contact names and phone numbers for the auto show. It will also have your tickets in it as well. I will need a list of names of the participants so I can request badges for them on show site. Move-in will not take all day. We are finalizing the location of everyone but if you arrive on your move-in day, everything will be just fine. We can accommodate your 6-8 vehicles, that’s fine. Let me know when you receive your UPS letter envelope. Take care.

Hi Felix - Email sent!
T
Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 4 2007, 01:40 PM
Emails sent to the participants, contact me if you have any more questions. I spoke to the east coast coordinator, our space is reserved and they are open to how we want to position the cars. It will be a rectangle or square configuration. The model and individual sign bios are acceptable which Ken's wife is willing to design and print.
The Porsche racing club will not be present this year due their organization's recent re-org.
I'll get specific entrance details next week from the on-site coordinator.
Post or PM if you are attending any of the days and especially the Saturday meet. Chris Julian is attending Thursday night. Remember to wear your 914 hat's and shirts...
Posted by: Jenny Jan 4 2007, 03:35 PM
Hey Felix, if you need any help on Sat or Sun, let me know. Brian and I don't have any plans next weekend, and it's been years since we've been to the autoshow.

Great, give me ideas as to what we can do as a unified 914 group besides having lunch and posing for a photo. You'll get a kick at all the club stickers I'll display...
Jeff,
They were receptive to a club and we could've shown ~15 cars if they were available. I'm sure we'll be invited back...

I can echo what Jenny offered, exept I am free for any setup before the show or the 11th.

There has been a lot of advertising for this event in the past week. It seems that I can't turn a page of the Mercury News with out seeing a add. I think this is the first year they are expanding the show to include a aftermarket section with the DUB guys, Corvette club as well as classic Mustangs. In the past there has been space for a few club cars but never a whole hall given to cars other than new models. I am excited!!!
Posted by: Dan (Almaden Valley) Jan 8 2007, 11:01 PM
I think we will represent the 914 contingent very well. You're right...in the past a couple race Porsches and a few mustangs from the Shelby club...this is going to be nice....I plan on taking the car down on Wednesday afternoon, anyone else going to be there?

What time are you headed down Dan? Do you have a ride back to Almaden? Maybe we can coordinate efforts.
Let me know

Posted by: Michael N Jan 9 2007, 12:07 AM
I will be heading down at 10am, I have to be able to drop off the car and make it back home before going into work at 1pm. Hopefully the hall will be run smoothly enough to get the cars staged in a reasonable amount of time. I drove by the south hall today and there are already people working in it.
Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 9 2007, 02:40 AM
Participants in/out badges will be given at entry. Your names are on the list.
Looks like Tom, Micheal, and Dan will bring their cars in the morning. I'll stop by when we layout our area and to distribute the tickets.
Olav, Ed, and I will bring our cars in the afternoon.
Remember to have <1/4 tank of gas and bring wipe towels. Make sure you get the info to Kathy for the signage.

Anyone have some Rennlist or Roadglue stickers???
Felix,
Brian and I have my cousin's birthday party to attend saturday around dinner time, we can't stay past 4:30pm.
Are we hard up for people to sit at the display? I figured it'd be a regular 914 event, with people standing around drinking coffee, playing pocket pool, scratching their asses, etc..
I didn't realize we were doing shifts. Are we planning lunches together, and if so, who will be watching the cars while others eat? Also, do we (and by we, I mean the people who don't have pretty cars to show off) need to secure our own tickets to the event, or are there extra ones?Thanks,
Jen
Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 9 2007, 01:03 PM
Jenny and all,
The show participants each have one in/out badge for the duration of the show that they can loan when not at the show. The schedule can help us coordinate any sharing of them, PM one of them to make arrangements. The participants also each have one ticket for their spouse or friend if they need/want it. I'll give the extras to whomever makes the time to be at the show and our display. They sent 10 tickets for 5 cars but they didn't account when we increased to 7 cars. I will ask for more.
A representative was requested but not mandatory to be at the display so we don't need more than one person at a time. It's mainly a curtesy to answer questions and added security for our cars.
The only planned activity is a lunch in the show (requiring entry) and photo on Saturday. If many people don't want to attend the show we can also have a lunch and photo outside the facility. I'm sure we can leave the cars unattended during this time.
We are representing our community, let's refrain from:

I don't know if it would be appropriate but i was thinking of doing some kind of display for the LED taillights. They still need work but I have a working set that can be shown. Due to time restraints I would need a little help setting up to make it presentable. If you think I can present it there and someone want to help me out I can tell you what I need. I will also give the display to someone that will be there starting Thursday because I won't be able to make it there till Saturday.
If you want to help send me a PM and I'll give you my number and we can discuss details. Thanks

Dropped off the car this morning and met Felix and Tom to stage the cars. Not nearly as hectic as I thought it would be. It was actually pretty easy to get the cars staged.
Talking to one of the show managers he stated that during the show that there will not be someone checking for tickets to get in to the south hall. What that means for us is that anyone who wants to get to the 914 area and not into the regular show can go to the south hall and meet up with the group at the 914 display area for free.
Posted by: neo914-6 Jan 10 2007, 03:23 PM
We've got great 914 examples for our display and can plan a bigger one next year
If anyone needs tickets PM me I have a few available first come basis. I will reserve tickets for Brent, Chris, Paul, Jenny, and Brian.
Posted by: Jenny Jan 10 2007, 03:46 PM
Thanks dood! I might swing by Friday afternoon, if that's alright. Should I plan to get a ticket from you for that as well, or just sneak in thru the south hall?

It's just if you want to get into the main hall where they will require the ticket...

Okay - We're set!
Olav was entering as I left so all cars are now staged. Again thank you to Felix for pulling this together. A thank you is also due to Ken for putting together the signs - they look great!
Here are a few pictures from the set up this afternoon. Sorry for the quality they are from my camera phone but better than nothing eh.

Trevor, thanks for posting those preliminary shots. I will be getting quite a few on Sat.
Nice finally meeting you. Hopefully will see you on Sat.
a nice group of 7 teeners. 2 conversions, 2 6s, a bumblebee and your 1.7 and my 2.0L puttputt.

Man i can't wait for to see it on Saturday. I hope that I don't have to work. The taillights need more setup time so I'll try to do better next year. Thanks for the initial pictures Trevor.

Thanks for the pics Trevor.
I agree with Dan - very nice cross section of Teeners. The lineup looks great too - can't wait to see them tomorrow or Friday with all the lights on!
Keep 'em flying,

James says the SCION's near us are rolling concerts so expect a party atmosphere. 
One of them has a custom interior done by the same upholsterer who did my interior.
The display looks very professional with Ken's signage.

No problem Dan, your car looks great BTW
I'm glad we have one in competition trim.

Hey SJ participants. I managed to "host" from noon to 2:30pm. Not many people as the show just opened, but did get to boast about the Neo914 a bit. There was even a past owner of a Bumble Bee reminiscing(sp) and spoke about he and Scott Yeahman back in the day. I guess he owned a supermarket near Scott's place. Very nice 914 love! I'll be heading back tonight.
YES, you do NOT need a ticket to enter the tent area. Good and bad. Bad part is anyone with interest can head in from the elements. Felix, your cap was still there when I left.

I'll be leaving from El Cerrito to drive my 914 down to the the SJ Auto show around 9:30-10am. If you want to caravan down there that would be sweet. PM me or reply here.
Felix, Dan, Trevor, Ken et al., I would really appreciate it if there was a free or discount pass into the show I could use...South Hall for free will be nice for sure.
I am making this Saturday "914 fun day" and plan to do some more stuff after the auto show; head to either Yeaman's, another 914 owner's garage doing an EV conversion, or to a SF garage where ther is beer and 914 race car cutting/prep. Let's roll!

ChrisNPDrider - I know you can get in the Southhall for free but I am not sure about tickets for the rest of the show; other than buying them. Maybe Felix has extras and can chime in. I am also not sure if anyone is at the both this morning. Regardless hope to see you.

Brent at work...he's already set up a few race for pinks, drifting, and hydraulic contests with the lowriders.

See all of you there tomorrow. Can't wait.
Posted by: smj Jan 13 2007, 02:08 PM
Cut down tire on the 944. Snapped clutch cable on the 914-4. And now the 914-6 won't start. It would appear I am not meant to be there, cause I've only got summer-weight gear for the bike and it's too cold for it, as I found out yesterday... Sigh.

Some of the local 914 crew gathered at noon today at the car show. Here are some photos.

Well I must have just missed the crew get together because I was there around Noon also, so I thought I'd show my pics also. My camera battery was dying so I didnt get tons of pics, but I did get the ones that matter:)
914 content...I loved seeing these, not only good turn out but gives inspiration to what mine will be:)

while most of the low riders arnt my thing, I sure respect the level of attention they give to detail...plus they really drive their cars often!
Posted by: Trevorg7 Jan 13 2007, 09:00 PM
biosurfer1 - Sorry we missed you. You can see some of us standing around at the top of your first picture. We're all the ugly ones; except Jenny of course!

Great to meet all of you and thanks again to Felix! I can't wait to see Neo 914 on the road

I can't beleive I missed the group shot and the lunch shot. At least Seve is there. He just saw his pic and said"yes, I'm on the internet!" He's not shy, as Olav and John can attest to.

Mike - your daughters are going to have expensive taste when it comes to cars. They look pretty charged up in front of that new 911.
Posted by: dlo914 Jan 14 2007, 08:44 PM
cool! jenny wore my shirt
Posted by: Dave_Darling Jan 14 2007, 10:44 PM
Went today, mid-late afternoon. Sorry to have missed everyone (and very sorry not to have gotten back to Felix in a timely fashion!) but it was cool to see the cars there.
Talked to a guy at the Porsche stand who has been with the company forever. He and Pedro Rodriguez drove the Tapiro from Mexico City (I think) up to the States. He claimed 86 916s were made, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect, but he had some interesting stories...
--DD
Posted by: Dan (Almaden Valley) Jan 14 2007, 10:50 PM
interesting stuff Dave. I spoke to Rob Eglsaer (Stevens Creek Porsche Fleet Manager) he used to race 914s back in the 70s as well.
He was very impressed with our little display of 914s.
Posted by: Dave_Darling Jan 15 2007, 02:44 PM
I spoke to Rob Eglsaer (Stevens Creek Porsche Fleet Manager) ...
That was the guy! He ran the Sixes in C-production, I think.

I wonder who would do such a thing...I hear this guy was running around the place and looking very suspicious. Perhaps he took it?
Whoever really took it was certainly just as mature. When is this stupid petty stuff ever going to stop?
Posted by: Jenny Jan 15 2007, 06:11 PM
It was great seeing everyone there. The cars looked fabulous! What a wonderful representation of cars we all wish we had! It was nice to meet Trevor face to face. For the record, I was not dancing in that second picture. I thought we were just 'staging' the shot, not actually taking it. I was mid-something (stride?), but definately not dancing.
Daniel: I was stoked to get the shirt in time for the show. Thanks. It's a bit small (I can usually wear an XS-S... WTF? Maybe extra pounds from the holidays? ) but I stretched it into submission. ![whip[1].gif](style_emoticons/default/whip[1].gif)
Thanks!
Jen

Michael, Trevor, John, and I had fun loading the neo914 in a "couple" of hours. They pushed it the length of the tent while I sat in to steer around the Ferraris and Corvettes... first drive!
We repositioned the come along and moved the car back and forward several times to line it up with the trailer. Driving the trailer/truck forward to the right finally did the trick, Brilliat Trevor! I couldn't remember how I did this myself while at SEMA...
Hope we can all get together again soon.
