The map sounds really cool. It would take more computer smarts than I have though.

I recently came across this site that lets you make a customized Google Map: http://scribblemaps.com (I think there's a free/basic version and a paid version)

We have six to ten in the Flagstaff, AZ area. Mine rests comfortable on "jack stands" and is originally a rolling chassis from Ventura area.

One member of this board has one or two and his son may have one or two along with a couple or three cut up for parts. I also know where one is located out in the high open grasslands withing five miles of Flagstaff. In the last few years several have been cut up before I could get to them for saving. Still trying to get the serial numbers.

I know of 10 to 12 in the Grass Valley / Nevada City area (No. Cal). It amazes me as we are a pretty small community by comparison.

We have them all (just like everything else) on the West Coast.

We cut up good ones just to piss the East Coasters off. If we don't cut them, we send them to George. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)


That's funny.....and true! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

In the past 5 years, I have seen about 4- 914's in Columbus, Ohio (including mine). I have seen about 50 356's in the same time- strange.

I feel surrounded by muscle cars here in Moncton, but that makes my teener a real attraction for car people. When James Smith comes across the border for a Canadian event we draw a lot of looks as nobody sees cars like ours, which is kinda neat but I wouldn't mind having a fellow teener owner to share with. My good buddy has a real nice Ghia and we go on little outings which is lots of fun, when I see the long string of teeners on those great outings in California it makes me wish to be there!

I've made a map of weather stations around the world using the free Google Maps Api.

I could use the same code to make a map for our purpose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

http://www.weatherlink.com/map.php


Initially, the dots are clustered by Latitude and Longitude squares and when you zoom in the number inside the dot tells you how many weather stations are in that area.

The clustering becomes smaller as you zoom in and eventually it will break out into each individual weather station.
Then you can click on a individual station to get more station details.

Interesting question... To add a worldwide post to the thread, I honestly think their are less 914's in the uk than the total number of posts you have made on the forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have never driven past another 914 whilst I have been driving mine over here and I have only ever seen three in my whole life on UK roads!!

Everybody that sees mine wants one though!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)



I drove mine everyday for 15 years, I only passed one once, since I took mine off the road for some resto work I have seen two on the street...

The one I saw was black or dark gray, in need of total restore. solid body though. It was in the Porsche shop on Hillsborough Ave, near the back side of the airport. Can't recall the guys name. Lots of track cars in his shop, really slow work out of there.

That would probably have been Dave White Autosport. He always had a lot of race cars there as he was a Past IMSA GT Champion. He retired a couple of years ago and got a Mint for his business - then the new owners changed the name, quit doing race cars and are gradually running the business into the ground.

I don't remember a Black or Dark Gray car though

That was it. Dave White. the 914 was a project that had been left in the shop for a few weeks untouched, and then picked up by the wone rwith nothing done cuz he got the high estimate.
Dave remembered seeing my first track car back when it raced at Sebring. was very suprised at how cheap I picke dit up and set up the cockpit adjust for the swaybars for me. Took them forever to get to it though. so I never went back.

There sem to be quite a few In the Denver area as well. I've driven by quite a few just in Golden. On the other hand, I've had mine in New Mexico for about 6 years and have only seen five, and two of those I bought!
