First sighting in front of a cigar/magazine store in the Pearl District. Nice set up, Rennshifter, luggage rack, shiny bumpers... Anyone here?

The third 914 was my own but I'm counting it anyway to make 3. I was too busy driving to take pictures though... sorry.

Very nice car...greater portland has a lot of 914s buzzing around and most of them probably were owned by Craig (Camp914) at one time or another. I not much for the "luggage rack" look, but I must admit that one in the Pearl District looks pretty darn good.

PS Watch out for the guys in Salem, they're trying to catch-up with Craig on "I used to own that."

I like the Delphi green, classie color.

The orange one (Otmar's) is very quick...

Yeah, they really start popping out of the woodwork in the Portland area in the summer, don't they?

There's a gaggle around Multnomah Village...I met a the owner of a white 3.2 just a few weeks ago (you?)

Otmars car is very fast! I drove it this week & it is on Torquey cat. 0-60 in like 5 seconds. Definately felt a little heavy with all the batteries in there. He said it weighed close to 3000 lbs. Would absolutely waste me in a race though. Otmar's car is a sleeper though. It's so quiet you are floored when it just takes off!

Shit, that was Otmar's car? I read up on that car when I was first considering a conversion. Impressive. I'm surprised I didn't recognize it in person.

I almost would have guessed the green car was Craig being that it was parked in front of a cigar store. I love Camp 914, got to get out there again real soon! If I wasn't running to a lunch thing I would have stuck around to complement the owner.

It's always a thrill to see these cars on the street being enjoyed. Regardless of their condition...
