Coming to the U.S., Suggestions on how to get maximun 914 content Options

[phillstek]

So my brother and I are planning a trip to the U.S. at the end of March but probably early-mid April. We are buying machinery, A/T tires and some other stuff to load into a container to ship from Long Beach.

I'm also hoping to buy some spares for my car and perhaps a complete car or a roller depending on what was available.

I could fly into S.F and depart from L.A. or just in/out of L.A. I plan on being in the States for 2-3 weeks and I would really like to see as much 914 and general air cooled Porsche stuff as possible.

I'm interested in museums, swap meets, race meets, salvage yards, meeting some of you guys... anything 914 related would be considered.

I'd welcome any suggestions or advice.

Thanks,

Phil

You guys are so helpful, I only hope that some of you come to OZ so I can return the favor.

Hershey sounds like it must be included either way.

With all this info and the suggestions, the itinerary is starting to take shape nicely.

I would still appreciate any further advice though, so keep them coming

Thanks,

Phil

Our Rugby Club (Irvine Coast RFC) toured OZ in 1980! Great time & excellent hosts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hey Phil - what was the character's name on the old Aussie Paul Hogan comedy TV show who was the loopy ex-Rugger with the scrum cap? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
My half-zymers (where you remember half the shit half the time) kicked in the other day, when I was telling a guy about that show, which used to have replays here in the USA on PBS, & I couldn't recall it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

That Paul Hogan show was funny as all get out - as is his UK mate Benny Hill, which is currently replaying on "Antenna TV" here in the US on Friday & Sat. evenings! Benny's is bawdy & a real trip back into the the era of our 914s!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

OK - you asked about museums:

Peterson Automotive in LA

USS Midway & USMCAS Miramar Marine Corps Air Museums in San Diego

Balboa Air & Auto Museums in San Diego

Lyon Air & Auto Museum in Orange County (John Wayne Airport south of LA)

... & probably a few more that I'm half-zyming on at the moment! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Also - the local LA, OC, Inland Empire (Riverside/San Bernardino), & San Diego areas' Prosche Clubs have regular local events every month, such as the Auto Club Track event noted above.

IIRC the San Diego Vintage Race & car show isn't until later in the year, but it's a great event held at the USN Air Base North Island on Coronado - if your trip ends up being a bit later on.

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
