OK, folks... it's official. We have reached the 50+ cars point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
One of the cars to push it to that point is an original factory GT with racing history in Europe and the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Anyone care to venture a guess as to what car it is? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

QUOTE(Vysoc @ Aug 12 2015, 05:54 PM) The Eric Strenger Porsche 914-6 GT M471? Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) It has been rumoured that the Strenger 914, one of the rare factory M-471 optioned cars, will be there. The car in question here was built in February 1970 at Zuffenhusen and equipped with Type 901/36 twin plug 6 cylinder engine, steel wheel flares and painted Light Ivory.

And there is a difference between a M471 car and a true factory built GT car...

All right everyone this is really getting interesting. If the rumors are true it looks like we will be offering up some really serious items in the near future.
But as you get your car ready for the event I ask you to look at the sponsors on the Okteenerfest site and give them the first shot when you make your next purchase. These are the vendors that have made $7k (may go to 10 really quickly) of items available for this event. Also note who is missing. While the 914 was not the most loved Porsche in the past, it is now at a point where vendors are taking an intrest in 914 owners. Supporting the sponsors of Okteenerfest is a great way for us to show them that 914 owners appreciate their support. |

Jason and the great guys at Paragon Products are hooking us up with some great gift certificates for this event.
They have a really good selection and I actually have a set of their performance spark plug wires which are top notch!  |

OK so Our good buddy Tim has asked me to find out what would be the most desirable LED gauge set see this year?
Silver dot gauges? Non silver dot? Silver dot with 150mph. Votes? |

Hmmm, just over half the cars attending are 74+ so would take the later style. But, don't want to leave out the silver dot guys... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Silver dot 150 mph fits my '70 so I guess that's my vote. Maybe Tim would offer a certificate good for the choice of the winner?
