My buddy saw a yellow 914 last night near the airport on the 10. This anyone on here? He said it looked like a honda was trying to catch the 914 but couldnt.

Probably Russ Dodson. He has a scary fast beautiful yellow six.

Wasn't me. I am a fair weather driver. It is too hot right now!

Hey Slim, sign up on our AZ Yahoo group. It isn't overly active but you do get emails now and then about local stuff. We are meeting this Thursday for a dinner.

There was a nice orange 73-74 2.0L at Starbuck's in Tempe on Southern & McClintock Saturday morning... Anyone here?

WOW! I was starting to think I was the only person in AZ who was on this site!!
I'll shoot over and join the group right now.

My friend was pretty sure the car he saw was a 4 cyl by the sound. Hes a big VW freak so I trust his ear!

I have only ever seen one 914 since I started watching for them on the freeways around town. Maybe once it cools down more will come out to play.

No can do. Used up all my vacation hours last month. I would love to see some 914s though! Not sure that I have ever seen one in person that was done right...Take lots of pictures!

How did I not know about this...

I sold my 73 yellow 1.7 to a guy out in that neck of the woods about 2 years ago, I haven't seen hide or hair of that car since.

You only need one day. If you want to see a lot of 914's (over 40 last year) in one of the most beautiful places in the world, RRC is it.

Posted by: MoveQik Aug 28 2007, 09:33 PM

Well, at least come to dinner with us Thursday. There might not be many 914's there(we'll blame it on the heat) but there should be five or six of us.

Clearly a rookie! You have not yet learned to schedule your vacation days around 914 events

Posted by: slim72914 Aug 28 2007, 11:59 PM

Yeah I havent got to that point in my obsession just yet. Maybe once she is off jack stands and running. I have already removed one of 2 alarm systems installed on the car to get it to crank. The other system is still installed and sounds the horn when hooked up so that the coil gets power... So that needs some work. I started working on changing the plastic crap fuel lines to stainless steel and discovered my clutch tube is broken in all 3 mounting places and the fire wall is trashed. So once that stuff is done I might start planning my vacations around 914 meets. IF she even runs!

Come to the Thurseday dinner . I am unvailing the "Uli" for the first time in over 2 years . The engine build from hell is completed and the 911 suspension is complete. It is done and running about time . See you all on Thuresday

Can't wait to see it Bill!

Damn, I'm jealous. I lived in Phoenix for 8 years up until April '06 and I don't remember seeing any 914s. I was up off Cave Creek Rd and Thunderbird. There are only two or three people here in UT..

Posted by: TROJANMAN Aug 29 2007, 11:03 AM

Utah's 914 population is going to grow exponentially in about 3 weeks

Posted by: jaminM3 Aug 29 2007, 11:49 AM

Good Point!

and I will be there..

Posted by: MoveQik Aug 29 2007, 02:23 PM

You better not be teasing me Bill! I have been waiting to see your car for a long time.
