Is there any interest in a get together for the mid west guys (ohio/indiana/etc.)? I am somewhat new to the 914 scene and was trying to help setup a get together to meet some people to get advice and see some sweet cars. If anyone is interested voice your opinion on time and location here. I would suggest october sometime since my car should be drivable in about 3 weeks.

I did look into that and would love to make it, but it is about 7 hours away for me and I would prefer not to drive that far, especially shortly after I finish my car.

Ya that is a long drive /stretch for me also. Especially since I'm having a itty bitty electrical issue hampering my power band or lack there of. Otherwise I would have no issue driving that far.

Hey I would be interested, to try and get a informal get together here. Maybe on a regular basis to exchange ideas and to assist each other in builds, fixes, etc. Just like they do in the Cali area


I'm here in the Pickerington area.

I would be up for a meet on a semi regular basis. Anybody else in the central ohio area interested? We should figure out where is the easiest place for everyone to meet.

I would be interested. I may not show up with my teener since I am still sorting out some issues. I live in New California (just outside Dublin).

The SMOG group seemed to have a nice meeting a couple of years ago just west of Detroit, so there certainly is a group of enthusiasts in the midwestern states.

Indiana would be a nice compromise, and the covered bridge area is pretty in the fall. With no AC, the idea of long drives in the humid midwestern summers doesn't appeal to me as much now as it did 25 years ago when my wife and I went to the Ozarks for the Porsche Parade at the Tantara Resort. 115 degrees at the autocross course one day!

We drove home to Chicago with a case of wine from a local winery on the floor in front of her, and thought nothing of it in those days.

So where do you guys think we should meet in columbus for the semi regular meets. Should we just find a parking lot somewhere? Somebody want to offer there home? There is a big park with a parking lot right by my house in German Village. Or we could meet at a Sonic drive-in down in grove city. Let me know what you guys think.

If you made it into a Drivers Education event at Mid-Ohio, I would be there.

You talking Berliner Park, Schiller Park or Goodale Park? Thurmans or Planks would be better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The last two years my wife and I held a little some what organized 914 get together at our place in Indiana in late August. We can't do it this year for vairous reasons, but will again in 2009. Now that I have shop space, been thinking about having a little cook out there in the fall yet this year. Nothing fancy, just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) and a lot of bench racing / BS sessions. I just wish we had better 914 roads around here. Everything is flat and straight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I miss the SMOG and Fall Foilage events from the past.

I was talking about schiller park, but any of them will work. Thurmans would be a great place to go, just takes forever with too many people.

Hey all,

I'm about to pick up my new to me 914 tomorrow, and if I can get it running by then I would love to come meet up. I'll be coming from London, just west of Columbus. Should be good times. Let me know when and where and I'll try to get her together.

My vote for place is Schiller park, but I am slightly biased since I live across the street. Also, there is a decent (for columbus) stretch of road just north of town. We could meet up near there and go for a drive. As far as time, I am pretty open, but my car won't be driving for about 3 weeks or so. What does everyone think?

Meeting at the German car show works for me. That is also very close to my house. I say we meet around 11:00, but we can wait until it gets closer to finalize plans.
