Those were the exact words from the doctor.
So let's start a list of members showing up in Hershey and get the Dr. to meet us.
I volunteer to set up the list of all members willing to show up in Hershey April 28th.
I, myself will travel 8½ hrs down to Hershey on Fridayand head back home on Sunday
It would be nice to meet all together for a drink Saturday night after the swap meet.

I am planning on it right now. Won't have the 914 with me by then but will be fun to look around. I will be comming from 7+hr away.
Posted by: turboman808 Feb 5 2007, 04:23 PM
If there is something cool going on the night before I will be there. Something with naked women would be nice!!!
Posted by: faux916 Feb 5 2007, 04:40 PM
My brother and I will be there. We are both members. 
Posted by: Part Pricer Feb 5 2007, 04:54 PM
I'm sorry. I can't bend over and kiss someone's ass like that. If he wants to go to Hershey, why should he need to demand a particular size audience?
I go to Hershey every year with a large group of friends. If George were to just say that he was going to be there, I would stop by to say Hi. However, I don't give in to egotistical demands.
I'll be at Hershey, but don't add me to your list.
Posted by: mikez Feb 5 2007, 05:07 PM
Pay my hotel bill and "I" will show up......
Posted by: BarberDave Feb 5 2007, 05:07 PM
As I do every yr. I'll be there. THe DR. can stop around to the peoples choise area and say Hello, black 73, Ohio licence 73914, So can every one else. Chocolate Land Motel is a good place for all 914's to meet. It's on Chocolate Ave ,of course. Put me on the list .

I always get the Hershey 
Squirts after eating at slit's place, and there is atleast 50 people there, so see you in April Doc
Posted by: Racing916 Feb 5 2007, 05:30 PM
I am going to see 914's and buy 914 parts. Who cares if george comes? What is the obsession? He did not event the 914... I guess I just don't get it?????
Posted by: Aaron Cox Feb 5 2007, 05:40 PM
buy me a beer and a jet blue ticket and i will show up.....
no offense doc... you arent royalty 
Posted by: Jenny Feb 5 2007, 05:42 PM
There's something about a group buy at the top of the page. Maybe it's not for royalty, but confirmed purchases.
But just in case-- I'll show if 50 people pay my way there. 
Jen
Posted by: Aaron Cox Feb 5 2007, 05:44 PM
ok so if jenny is there... i will show up.
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 5 2007, 06:01 PM
Seeing as I live like 45 miles from it, I'll be there.

I'll be going this year again. Last year was my first visit to the Aquafest. If it doesn't rain, I'll bring the 914. Only about 70 miles for me all on Rt78/81.

That is a ridiculous comment. I have a lot to do here and am on the phone all day talking to fellow 914 owners. It would be a great effort and loss to our customers for me to leave here. It has nothing to do with some honorarium or anything like that and for the most part a joke.
However that being said I have devoted my life to these cars so maybe there should be a little hero worship for saving so many and collecting so many and promoting the marque so enthusiastically.

Cool...so now lets just suck up to this guy...you know...not the one that screwed quite a few people in the past...called names...naw not that one? lol gosh its amazing how quickly everyone can forget stuff....haha this is so stupid its funny.
Posted by: faux916 Feb 5 2007, 08:35 PM
I believe this thread is nothing more than a head count. So if your in,your in. If not,you will not be there,therefore,you will miss out on meeting one of the coolest guys on the Eastcoast.
Me!

Hey guys,
Come on, Isn't this site all about the cars and the people?
I never mentioned that one guy was a Hero or a god ! All of us love those little cars, have worked on them and had some experiences, some more than others but it's the way we share those experiences and the help we provide to each other that makes this place our local hangout.
I, myself had my own experience with AA but did my story get to the owners attention? Who cares anyway. I did not want to open a can of worm here but just try to get 50 or more 914 enthusiasts to meet and the fact the Dr mentionned if we could get a group together, I thought it was a great opportunity to put up a friendly meeting among us and finally be able to put some faces to same names and alias.
So please, if this idea I had to gather as many teeners to meet for a drink is gonna cause dispute or wake up old grudge than I would ask the admin to delete this thread.
I'm in for the love of these cars and the friendship among us.
God bless all,
Steph in awfully cold Canada.

We need to work on a secret handshake. So we know who is or is not from the club. Any suggestions?

Steph is right, and if I wasn't so far away I would be there, and still might!

Make an effort.
I know you can show up.
It would be cool to meet you again.

Posted by: ws91420 Feb 5 2007, 09:31 PM
For me the big thing is to get a greater sense of community of the people I interact w/ , read about, and deal with on this board. Having a central meeting point or an easy way to identify someone walking by from a hat they have on is a good thing esp. if it is a rainfest again you don't have alot of time to stop and talk to find out if they are someone you talked to on the board.

I could care less "what 914 board they read" My comment is more towards the 914members as opposed to meeting members like "tyekneepp" from the 911 times. I can assure you that every 914 owner there will not be driving their 914 so you are not going to know who "people that are interested in these old cars are" will you now?

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Feb 5 2007, 09:47 PM
I've never been, would like to go, don't worship George but do admire him- as far as I know he was the 1st into 914's as a full time profession & I've been pestering him since I was 17 & I'm 44 now. Please "pencil" me in- I'll try but I'm currently trying to buy a garage/house so who knows. 
Posted by: ws91420 Feb 5 2007, 10:03 PM
Of the people that have posted here on this thread the only ones I have met is Jim(type 47) and Zach(vacca rabite) ever so briefly at the ECC. I would hope I would be able to recognize them. The meeting place or an identifying hat would be great because I would hate to miss anyone.
I hope the weather will be good w/ vendors, sellers, and deals for all. Although I don't agree w/ Geprge asking for a fifty member commitment for him to show. People like Charles Navarro of LN Enginerring and Mark Engman traveled from a distance and set up in the rain last year w/o any commitment to see a certain number of members. Chuck gave away a bunch of piston cylinder keychains to passers by.

I rest my case.

Don't get your pantys in a twist George, around here you need a thicker skin than
That. Next week it will be something else. 
Posted by: Phoenix914 Feb 5 2007, 10:16 PM
I'm only a couple of hours away, so I'll definitely show up. George said something about buying a drink for whoever shows, so that's enough for me. Screw all you guys - I'm in it for the free beer!
Posted by: type11969 Feb 6 2007, 08:01 AM
Planning on going, schedule and weather may change that though . . .

the point here is that I really value my pink panties and when that rouser rousered them up it hurt and now I have to wash them but only do my laundry on the weekends. This whole week now thanks to rouser I am going to be in a bad mood. Maybe someone can send me a new pair of purple ones to dry my tears
Posted by: SLKWrx Feb 6 2007, 08:41 AM
I'll definitely be heading out there, though my 914 project is still in its jackstands phase and therefore not drivable so I'll be driving the suby. I think someone told me that you need an engine and maybe seats to drive a car, can anyone confirm this?
Hey doc, you shouldn't use panties to dry your tears, especially if they're used.
Posted by: jimkelly Feb 6 2007, 08:48 AM
all you guys need is me - if you have any questions about the round plastic looking thing on the top front of the motor with all the wires going into it - just ask. I can also field questions regarding the long steel rod that juts out of the cabin floor inbetween the seats : ) Anything else you need to know - you are on your own : )
btw - hope to go to H this year - not sure yet though?
Posted by: JerryP Feb 6 2007, 12:43 PM
I'll be there as usual.
I guess I misinterpreted the whole thing but I thought the Doctor originally said that, if 50 committed to show, he would be there and everyone would get a free Tech Tips 700. Then he offered to buy everyone a drink. That seemed ok to me and I wasn't really offended by it.
I just assumed the hero worship term was tounge in cheek...but since I'm going to be there anyway....and my tech tips is in tatters.....I'll give a little genuflect to anyone offering me a beer and a good 914 book. No skin off my back. I've done worse.
I can't even say what I'd do for a set of good seals.

Oh well, I pretty-much understand that kind of response, being that my wife's going through menopause and all.

you just aROUSED something in us here in the doldrums of winter! Keep it up it is good (by the way what the h is that thing on the front of your 914 in place of the bumper?
Posted by: Rouser Feb 6 2007, 04:55 PM
An air dam that was 'glassed into the bodywork by the PO.
Always meant to eventually remove it (even purchased a bumper for it), but decided to enjoy driving it rather than jackstanding with a boxful of promises and hopes.
The new owner plans to pick up where I left off, only he has the tooling to do the job right.

Don't have to...
Posted by: Johny Blackstain Feb 6 2007, 05:25 PM
To get back on track here, what items are in demand at the swap? ( ie- bumpers, sterring wheels, rockers, etc...) I do realize that the entire car is in demand at the swap, but knowing what should go would help determine what I drive there. (pickup, civic or a teener, weather permitting?)

you know of course that I am just teasing you! It sure is hard to read emotion through typing! (how many times has this been said!!!) That is why you are named rouser!!! To stir them up!
Maybe you could fly up to atlanta and we could fly up to hershey together and talk about things!

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any issues with you, and have never had any problems dealing with your company ... well ... just once, but it was corrected properly. My skin is thick enough, all taken in stride.
Sure, I would probably enjoy conversatin' 914's with ya, if given an opportunity. I'm sure you're good people. Just every now-and-then you give off airs as being kin to royalty.
Unfortunately, I'm just not that wrapped up in 914's to lose my perspective ... that it's just a car and not my life.
Now watch all the replies fly!

ok, whatever...haha I actually enjoy arguing with you, because you make an idiot out of yourself. Ok...if you wont then I will be the adult and end the argument right here. Your not important enough to worry about so if you want, keep insulting me but dont expect me to argue back and give you the pleasure of calling me names. Thank you, we are DONE here. Continue on here with the Hershy thing you all are talking about!
Posted by: grasshopper Feb 6 2007, 06:34 PM
Barry do you have all the parts lined up for your future 'Kali' car?
Haha yeah I am pretty sure I do. I am going to redo the seats and dash but I have those already...already have a 2.2 SIX, and pretty much have three of everything else. (if you dont know I am a pack rat and keep every little thing...so I have like three cars worth of parts and two wrecked 914s to finish parting out. BTW, I need to get rid of all of it so if someone in FL or GA wants to come over and go through the stuff they are MORE than welcome too! Thanks for thinking about me though, all I should really need to finish the car are the remainder of the SIX parts: oil tank, sheet metal, engine mount. But luckily there will be very little of this:
and more of this:

Look, DAD, I'm not here to convince you of ANYTHING, and accept what you want.
If grasshopper wants to reply to me in-kind, just avert your eyes and move on to the next thread; you don't need me as an excuse to drive up your post count, really.

I'll be there. With a canopy. And a heater. And my GoreTex.
I'm glad to talk with anyone who stops by - we're all Porsche people.
As soon as I get my space assignment numbers from CPA I'll post 'em.
As for me, I don't care how many people show up, as long as the people who show up buy something :-)

I'm planning on coming in for the swap meet and hopefully autox. Depends if I can trailer the car out there, if not i'll just come hang out and see whats cookin. I bought my car at hershey in 2005
They finally changed the dates because its rained every time for the past few years! Can't wait...
and i'm with Nathan.. if there is going to be a get together it better involve (female) boobies.

I'll be driving to Hershey Saturday morning for the swap meet with my son. He is looking for a 944 to buy. Then we are staying over Saturday night and doing the AX Sunday morning.
