All,


I introduced myself in a previous thread, and have been searching the forums for various topics, and have seen a couple of threads related to the events and members in the greater Cincinnati area, which is where I'm located.

I'd be interested in knowing who's around me with the same addiction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I plan to do much of my own work, but sometimes I may not be able to, or need some mentoring as it were. So getting to know folks locally would be great.

Also if there are businesses that are fluent in 914's, that would be really comforting if I get in way over my head. (plus I'm gonna need a paint job someday, and knowing who to use locally would be nice.)

So if your in or around Cincinnati, let me know, I'm actually in Liberty Twp, near West Chester, and hopefully you may actually see my car on the road in the weeks to come. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I'm just north of you, In Middletown. Won't be seeing mine on the road until I get a break from work!

Yeah,
Van has been around these cars a while and has a plethora of knowledge.

The closest we have to a local gathering is Hershey and Garolds get together near Chicago. Both of which just past. Bigkensteele is another who is around and I'm sure he'll post sooner or later.

Hello Turk22,

I'm down the river in Louisville. If you organize something, let me know. I have a '70 1.7 which I've owned for a long time, it is currently in the default 914 state (disassembled and on jack stands). I hope to have it back together within the next 6 - 8 months.

Another member in the Cinti area is Bigkensteele who posts from time to time.

Hi, Turk,
I am very near you in West Chester. I have some spare parts and a little knowledge of FI so feel free to contact me. I saw your original post with photos of your new car. It looks really nice.

Turk,

1st: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

2nd:I'm located in Miami Township, Clermont County, just outside Loveland.

3rd: Somehow, someway, sometime the greater Cinti/NKy 914 people need to get together for a casual get together, be it a gathering at a restaurant, coffee shop or a local park.

I live on the east side of Cincinnati just outside I275 off 125 Beachmont Ave. Like all 914 owners have large collection on parts and books. Just finishing a total rebuild of 2056 its running but not on the road yet. (Im looking for help with final tuning.) We need to meet for coffe/beer lot of 914 people in the area.

Guys, great that there are more teeners around than I expected...

Once I get my re-title and starter issue squared away, I hope we can set something up.

Turk welcome to 914 World.

I live across the river in the Florence KY area. My 914 (like most) is a project in waiting as I haven't yet started working it. I picked it up in 2003 as a roller from Ca and just stored until I was done with other projects. I have had 914s since about 1990 but all have been projects/parts cars. As far as other local cars, I have seen an orange/tangerine 914 pass the house a few times this summer. I am also aware of a silver 914 project in my area which belongs to a fellow member. Oh, I almost forgot, my dad has a silver '75 1.8 that he kept roadworthy (but unlicensed) until a fuel issue sidelined it over the winter.

We did attempt to have a 914 picnic in BigBone State Park about 10 years ago. We can put something similar together if anyone is interested. There were only a small mumber of 914s that showed but we did have some other P-cars for that gathering.

The Cincinnati VW club is having their VW-Porsche reunion show in September. The VW Club site listss the show dates as the 29th and 30th. Sept 29th is the pre-show at Metalkraft and Sept 30th is the actual show at GE Park. http://www.cincyvwclub.com/Reunion.aspx

I'm in Cincinnati in the Clifton area near UC.

My 914 is in a state of restoration as seems to be the case with many 914 owners. I'm not an expert but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty so if you ever need an extra set of hands working on your car, hit me up.

I'd also be interested in meeting up with other 914 owners from around the area. A local gathering would be awesome. I would like to see other peoples cars as 914s are something you don't see everyday. As a matter of fact I have never seen a 914 on the road here in Cincy besides mine. Have seen a couple parked that were for sale but that was it. Didn't think there were that many around here until I got on this site.

I play golf at GE Park every Thursday in a league, it would be a great site to have a little get together, plenty of parking, picnic areas and/or clubhouse, its really close to I275, and I'm a member, so I can reserve something....

Thinking this may work... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

After checking that VW Porsche show out, I'm thinking I'll come down for the show in September myself. Maybe we should do a 914 invasion of it?

Turk, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

Thomas and I were talking about pulling together some form of a gathering this past spring that I was going to spearhead, but life got in the way. No reason that we couldn't shoot for the fall. Just a matter of picking a date and location that works for most.

Dirk, we are apparently neighbors! I live just outside of Amelia in Legendary Run. Where are you?
