Hey folks, some of you have asked about taking your 914s etc. to Cruisin Grand last year ....

Well the Escondido CA "Cruisin' Grand" has a Brit & German Cars Theme Night on Aug. 4th 5-9 pm.

It's best to get there early, but you can still come in whenever you can & park along Grand & the side streets where there is space. There are all sorts of Pubs & Eateries along Grand & the side streets, as well as a few Booths/Carts/Roach-coaches with food set up for the event.

I also would NOT worry if yours is a 74-76 914, since they won't know, unless you say so! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

This is a weekly event for pre-74 American Classics, but they have a few special weeks where imports are allowed, like this one, Panteras with the Mustangs & Shelby's, etc. So check here for any other Fridays that look interesting to you as well.

Great story Kent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
... I'll bet that nice metallic blue NSU Prince also had him confused! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
That was the car my buddy wanted me to go off & see when we were chatting.
.... PS - apparently that same guy was confused about the `73 2002tii noted below, which he did park on the Brit side!

Nice to finally meet you in person last nite too!

MikeM - sorry I missed you & your daughters running around.
Maybe we'll both be able to make the Temecula 914 BBQ next month?

FYI Y'all - here is the link to the Temecula 914 BBQ -

Hopefully you saw the nice Polaris `73 02tii there - in addition to the 914s etc. IMHO & based on Kent's comment, you should've just parked your 02 there too, since they don't know models & years - & the 02tii was parked on the Brit side anyway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I did get to meet up in person with Kent, John, Skip, Curb&gutter, & a few other 914ers whose names escape my only 2 cups of java so far morning brain now.

Lawrence, you should've come anyway with whatever car, just to see all of the various 'Mercun', Brit & German & a few Italians cars & trucks there!

I think there were 6+/- 914s + a few more 914ers without their cars there last night - & the largest of not only the German contingent, but of all the Germans - at least at the N.Broadway featured cars zone, & a few 356/911s out on Grand too.

I didn't get any good pix while there running around & chatting too much, so anyone else feel free to post yer pix here!
