Didn't have a chance to get to talk to everyone at dinner. But had a great time. At the swap meet found some parts I needed, and maybe some I didn't need. Either way another great experience in Hershey! Thank you to all who helped getting us all together! Cheers!

This '73 2.0L was for sale.....I believe it was discussed in another thread here. It was pretty crusty.

Never understood why someone would enter a car show with a 2 year old or newer car. And of course, why would the PA PCA allow it?

How many 914's attended the show?

I would estimate that I saw 15-20 914s there yesterday. Some were in the Porsche only parking. About 6 were being judged. I think the morning showers kept a few away. I ended up driving my MX-5 because of a wheel bearing in my 914.

I think the rain kept a lot of 356 and early 911’s from showing up. At least it was very dry and breezy by mid day and not a hot humid stew.

I think the combination of weather and being Easter Weekend
kept attendance down overall..
Event seems to be getting smaller every year..
Funny how the 914 group seems to be the tightest ..

On another note, I forgot to get an order in at 914 Rubber on time to get it shipped to Hershey with their stuff.. When I called, they told me Scott would put my stuff in his carry on and bring it himself...
Now that is what I call Outstanding Customer Service.
And one more Reason I will buy from them even if the parts are available elsewhere.

Also interesting how many 914-6 parts were scattered among the sellers.
I was pretty surprised by that..

The internet has been killing swaps for a number of years. If I can get something online, why wait for a once a year swap. I think most vendors take home a large percentage of what they bring, not understanding the new swap dynamic. It has to be priced less than what it sells for day to day.

I had pre sold a trans and a bunch of engine parts so I went home with an empty car.
Thanks Bob & Nadine for providing shipping to the buyer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Always a fun day and great to see everyone.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I can just go to my local dealership for that - and they'll let me drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Great meeting members at the dinner, Many funny stories were swapped. didn't get to talk to all present. maybe next time. Thanks, Bob for setting it up.

Car ran fine, uneventful thankfully. managed 28 mpg on the trip, mostly turnpike. that seems pretty good. Somehow missed rain all the way home, in spite of the dark clouds. had the roof off for most of the trip back and have a good sunburn from the day. who would have thought that would happen.

Had the lone Porsche at the Knights Inn. I guess its over for there...…

12 cars were entered in the E class Mid-engine, 6 914s 5 Boxsters and a lone Cayman GTS. the 914s swept the class and the announcer said they had the 4 and 5th place votes also.

Dave took a well deserved 1st place trophy, wndsnd took 2nd, and yours truly grabbed the 3rd place cup. competition is getting tough.

Maybe now it will be the Boxster / Cayman guys wishing for their own class. I can hear it now, I would have won if those 914s wouldn't have shown up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yes, Garold I figured I’d include you as you are
a fixture in the 914 scene....
I should have gotten closer and called you to get you
looking at Me when I took the picture....
But I figured this would work.....
