Calif. of Festival of Speed, No Love for the 914 Options

[Coondog]

The only vendor that had 914 parts 4-sale was Sierra Madre. Of course they only brought two small parts. No 914s to be seen, didn't even put one on there Tee Shirt and 914 parking flag was at the far end of the parking lot... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Walters Porsche from Riverside was selling Hoodies with the letters Porsche on the front for $ 175.00. Looked like a 20 dollar Target hoodie to me !!! Someone else was selling Porsche key fobs for 30 bucks.... Spent 20 minutes there and left. Waste of 10 dollars.

For what it's worth, last year they put us front and center. Closest to the pit entrance. I mean someone has to be in the far corner and this year happened to be our year. This event isn't really catered to older cars although some vendors in the row did sell older transaxles and pelican had some stuff too. But 914's are a small niche and frankly I couldn't see a vendor setting up booths next to HRE or CNC motors to sell some 914 parts. Rent didn't look cheap there.

I saw one 914 right as it was taking off, a silver one. I personally didn't want to drive mine because the likelihood of rain and the karmann chassis wouldn't have gotten along.

I did get to meet Magnus Walker, he's an awesome guy. Very down to earth and willing to talk to fans. I asked him of his plans for the 914's and he said he was going to keep them relatively stock and also keep them 4 cylinders.
