Betcha George breaks some glass to get a couple of cars out there and tries to steal the show.


I betcha he says he will and then never shows up. With Bill Warner in charge, there is no shenanigans - he is very good friends with the Brumos people, so he will get the cars he wants. It would be cool to have a special Parking Area for our 914s

I got an email today and they want my car in the show. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I always wondered how one gets 'invited' to such events. I have friends that have gotten their cars invited to various things (Goodwood, Amelia, Pebble Beach, etc) just always wondered how the organizers know what cars to invite and not miss something.

A lot of times the Organizers of Major Concours already know the Owners of Cars as they know Collections and the High Rollers show up at Shows like this. For instance Bruce Canepa always seems to bring cars to Amelia as they have a Great Race Car Section.

I would say that since Amelia has announced that the 914 is The Car, that they already have Commitments from the Cars they want. Porsche could certainly send over a 914, 914-6, GT, 914-8. Nearby Brumos could have one or 2 cars laying in the Corner.

gotcha.
Well, I guess the first 914 to run Targa Newfoundland didn't make the cut.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Ha...just kidding. Our car certainly would be a bit out of place on the lawn at Amelia!! its a bit beat up in its current state, and its caretakers have no plans to 'freshen it up'... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey T.C., you know anyone that we can contact about parking? I would be up for this but would have to start planning now. I would bring two cars. The Alien and 7 of 9.

Most of the race cars no the lawn are covered in rock chips, dents, cracks etc.

Too far for me from CA. I STRONGLY suggest someone contact the organizers and ask for a 914 corral. a Corral gets you car, driver and passenger in for a flat price, parking up close, and even more respect.
When I do the Desert Classic concours I offer corrals to just about any car club.

What a great sense of humor the organizer has with the selection of the 914. Pick a car that has CSOB owners and then charge $80.00 to come and see them. I love it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)



Although I am also looking to figure out if I can make the trip out as I have always wanted to attend this show.



Hell with that group, YOUTH is probably everyone under 60 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I will start saving my change in a jar and see if I can get enough to get my wife in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Who's in?

There is no onsite parking for this event. You park at the airport, golf courses, peoples front yards and take shuttle busses or walk. There are no corrals at the event.

You can see what it takes to get on the lawn on Sat morning for the "Cars and Coffee", that's as close as you'll get to participating.

This is a big boy show...you have to be invited to show your car. Quite an honor to have your car selected. As a spectator, I enjoyed Amelia much more than Pebble. And it was cheaper to attend as well. I'm not big on the brass era or pre-war cars. I just love sports cars from the 50's on up. Amelia does not disappoint. They have almost something for everyone. You can get reasonable lodging in nearby Jacksonville. You can also purchase the 'earlybird' tickets the Saturday before the Sunday concours. Bill Warner does a top notch job. Thanks to Southwest, direct flights from BWI to Jacksonville are affordable (I won't say cheap since it seems SWA pricing is starting to increase).


I wish they had a place for corral parking for the different models. Maybe we need a Werks Reunion East in 2016 to show the west coast boys what the east coast has in their garages (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This is a very big deal.

Warner throws a great party, and I suspect the fact that 914 is/was respected by folks like Haywood, Gregg, Newman, EFR, Ginther, Zwart, etc is about pay off. Along with the 912, the 914 is the last platform of the early air-cooled stuff to be recognized—and I've long though the 914 is arguably a cleverer design than the 356 and 911, even if it isn't prettier, more accomplished, or more recognized for all the reasons we all know so well.

Warner's choice is bold, and very cool.
