000 and 9/14/2019 Options

[SKL1]

Just got an interesting email from 000 magazine. Being a charter subscriber to 000 and knowing Pete Stout is a big 914 fan, he just sent something saying : "Save the date. 9/14/2019 Los Angeles"

Wonder what's up???? Not really a big fan of driving from PHX to the traffic in LA but it may be worth it.

Hi Pete,

Thanks so much for all of your time and enthusiasm to put together such a great event..... definitely one NOT to be missed!

Everything you have planned sounds fantastic and let's rally the 914 community to come join into the celebration and accomplishments of our 914s and their proud, dedicated owners.

I'm sure the display of cars will be gobsmacking. We're also really looking forward to the panel and seeing old racing friends.

See you all soon!

Cheers,

Margie & Paul

You are welcome—I hope it comes off at least half as well as we hope it will! There are a lot of people who have put a lot into this...and we are thrilled you are coming!

Pete is kind of a 914 snob.

He likes them.

Yes, yes I guess I am—in that I like them all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This event sounds a little snooty for me and my plain old 914-6 in signal orange.
I'll be at the Automobile Driving Museum event on September 15

Not sure what is snooty about a free show open to any Porsche in a cool color, a free 914 50th anniversary display on Saturday, inexpensive entry fees for Rare Shades (1/2 or far less than half of entry fees for Werks, Concours on the Ave, etc), or an inexpensive ticket to what should be a pretty neat panel discussion?

Hope you might reconsider, as a small team of enthusiasts have put a lot of time/money/effort into celebrating a long misunderstood sports car we love—and have literally invited anybody and everybody to join us on 9/14. As for a 914-6 in Signal Orange, there's nothing plain about that in my book—it's a nicer and more valuable 914 than I own, and it's a car that would stop me in my tracks if I saw it out in the wild. Your car would be welcomed at Rare Shades right alongside a 1974 911 in Gulf Blue, a 924 in Oak Green, a GT3 in Signal Yellow, or a Cayenne in Meerblau. We actually had a full-on purple Macan show up in Florida, and its owner was super fun to speak with. Every Rare Shades so far has been super casual and a lot of fun…
