Hmmmm... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
The LA Lit and Toy Show, March 7th? The SoCal All Porsche Swap and Car Show March 8th? Amelia Island March 13th in Jacksonville, FL? It seems to me that (with a slight detour to Las Vegas) the cities of Albuquerque, Dallas and Mobile might make up a nice romp across the country. Thoughts? Ideas? I think it would be cool to drive a 914 from coast to coast. Especially being a featured mark at Amelia. It would be nice to document it. GoPro, Instagram, Blog??? Maybe a few gear head get togethers along the way? Still thinking about it but... It's beyond intriguing for sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) *******************UPDATE****************** The trip is now in stone. I'll be traveling across the country to meet 914 owners and document their "914 Experience" for a mini-documentary/film. So, don't be camera shy! Here's the current schedule. Feel free to offer suggestions along the way: March 7th - 8:00AM - LA Lit and Toy Show - LAX Hilton March 7th - 5:00PM - Beach Party Send Off - Big Corona Beach, Corona Del Mar, CA March 8th - 8:00AM - 2:00PM - SoCal All Porsche Swap and Car Show - Anaheim, CA March 8th - 7:00PM - Hoffbrahaus, Las Vegas, NV - Dinner March 9th - 12:00 Noon - Wildflower Baking Company, Flagstaff, AZ - Lunch March 9th - 7:00PM - Turtle Mountain Brewery, Albuquerque, NM - Dinner March 10th - 12:00 Noon - Big Texan, Amarillo, TX - Lunch March 10th - 7:00PM - Gas Monkey Grill, Dallas, TX - Dinner March 11th - 12:00 Noon - Herby K's, Shreveport, LA - Lunch March 11th - 7:00PM - Conchon, New Orleans, LA - Dinner March 12th - 12:00 Noon - Felix's, Mobile, AL - Lunch March 12th - Live Oak, FL - Personal March 13th - 12:00 Noon - Jacksonville, FL - Lunch March 14th - 5:00PM Beach Party Sign up... the world wants to hear what 914 ownership is all about. |

Ummm Tom, I don't believe you will ever grow up. And that's a good thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Important: this trip will fulfill a personal goal and will, more importantly, honor the Porsche 914. Moreover, the fact that the 914 is all grown up with its featured status at one of the worlds most prestigious automobile events. I want to meet you and your 914 along the way. I want to document the adventure and... your adventure with your 914. If you're along the route, I'd like to hook up and talk 914 with you. Let's get this party started. Here's the dates: March 7th - Corona Del Mar Beach - Beach Party! From sea to shining sea send off. Stay tuned for details! March 8th - Anaheim. SoCal all Porsche Swap and Car Show. Phoenix Club. March 8th - Las Vegas, NV - Dinner March 9th - Flagstaff, AZ - Lunch March 9th - Albuquerque, NM - Dinner. Turtle Mountain? Jon, should I bring a guitar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) March 10th - Amarillo, TX - Lunch March 10th - Dallas, TX - Dinner March 11th - Shreveport, LA - Lunch March 11th - New Orleans, LA - Dinner March 12th - Mobile, AL - Lunch March 12th - Live Oak, FL - Dinner March 13th - Jacksonville, FL - Lunch March 13th - Amelia Island, FL - "We Made It" (hopefully) Party! Looking to do another Beach Party this afternoon/evending. |
