Even the super warm welcome the guys offered me could not ward off the cold of the morning, so we all jumped into the cars, and headed onto the PCH...

Eddie (Eddy?) is pretty brave putting the hammer down with all that V8 power, but only skinny wheels!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-19057-1551126503.2.jpg)



Now these photos aren't the best of the bunch - it's not easy to take good shots when a) driving someone else’s car and b) your hands are shaking because you are just so darned pumped with the situation you find yourself in.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-19057-1551126504.3.jpg)



But I want to post them here as a reminder for myself of simply the most special of moments.
You SoCal guys may have gotten used to your surroundings, but this is where I found myself:

...I am at the wheel of a SWEET GT...

...Glancing left I squint into the rising sun...

...Squirting off into the road ahead of me are 914s...

...In my rearview, more 914s...

...And then, when surely it can't get any better, the vista opens up to my right...
...And I see about 50 surfers riding the waves, their trucks and even a few old VW campers parked beachside.

You have NO idea how exotic a that entire scene is to a guy from London.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

It is a moment I will surely treasure until my dying day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

Of course, I didn't actually manage to get a photo of the surfers! I can just about make them out as dots on the sea in this one...

It wasn't long before the pier at Huntingdon Beach came into view:

Lawrence led us a merry dance through the back streets of Huntingdon, our exhausts waking the joggers and dog walkers, up early to buy their over priced coffees.

And then we found ourselves facing the pier. GREAT photo opp!

More scaring of the locals whilst being led by our pied piper, Larmo...
Next thing we knew the sound of his pipes had led us out onto Balboa Island:

James-

It was our pleasure having you join us. Nice pictures and write up.
I felt the same way when I meet up with the Nor-Cal, East Coast and South West 914 groups.
I've been part of different car scenes over the past 40 years but the 914 community rocks, IMHO!!!

Gotta give a shout out to Andy and all admin...thx for giving us this playground.

Oh, for sure... the 914 community rocks... if our cars are misfits, then how about us the owners!?

I think it's safe to say that I made five new friends yesterday.

Thanks guys for making me an honorary SoCal region member.

Work will bring me back to LA soon, I'm just hoping I can make it coincide with another chance to be part of the crew again...

Looks like you fellers had a good time. Maybe some day I'll have a running car again and be able to brave a cold early morning drive too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm glad to see you guys enjoy my home turf...
I do miss the West Coast, the Team NARP party's and the views. My house is 3 miles down Warner which is the light at the Jack-in-the-box in the picture.
I still have to finish up my divorce and will have to go back and flip that house and we will have The last party at Team NARP Headquarters.

This thread has been a bit quiet...
Are you guys still doing your last Sunday of the month drives?
I'm hoping to be back later in the year, and will try tagging along again!

In the meantime, I've been spending most of my time in Asia with work, but am trying to meet with Porsche folks wherever I go.

Here is a morning in Bangkok, for your pleasure:
http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic...f=1&t=64686

No 914s that morning, but one of the guys I met there is part way thru a full resto of a 74 2.0, and I hope to snap that on one of my later visits to Thailand.
He reckons that there are less than 5 914s alive and running in all of Thailand!

Hey James-

Good to hear from you...we tend to have informal drives and meet ups here in So Cal all the time.
Let us know in advance and maybe we can hit up a different area to drive to next time.

Curious of the condition of the 5 914's in Thailand with all that humidity.

Take care and safe travels,

Oscar

James,

The 2019 WCR is coming up this June in Monrovia and surrounds. See the thread in the garage; great opportunity to meet more 924’s and drive in the local mountains.

Hey guys,
Any plans for a drive this coming Sunday (June 30th)?
I fly back out to LA tomorrow, and it would be great to catch up again.
Cheers!
