Hi Guy's,
I'm visiting L.A from UK on July 13th-19th. This will be my first time on the West Coast. Are there any meets taking place that week where I could meet some fellow Fourteeners? Or any general recommends of car stuff to see & do? Kindest Regards Darren C Thanks in advance |

Can't commit to an outing however feel free to swing by my place. I'm always working on my 914's. Maybe lunch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) See if others want to join. Oscar |

There are quite a few of us in that immediate area.
Marconi Auto Museum is worth a visit. Multiple cars and coffee events that weekend Not sure about any broader Porsche events. Some neat Porsche / classic shops to visit in Costa Mesa. If a day trip to LA is in scope that opens up a lot too. |

Darren
As you see, loads of options when come out for your SoCal visit on the 13th. I'd enjoy meeting up with you. There should be at least 3 other members at my house that day and more than eight 914's. Some 4 cyl, some 6 cyl and a few V8's. Both narrow and wide bodies. I'd love to hear more about your restored blue 914. Come on over. Oscar PM me |

Thanks for kind offers, it'll be a privilege to meet you guys!
My Alaska Blue 2.0L has been a whole load of fun since importing from Desert Hot Springs to UK & finishing the restoration (in Build-off Challenge a couple of years back) I've been to many shows over here in UK & we've got a BIG 14 meet a couple of days after I'm back in UK to mark 50 years of the 914 at Brooklands, the worlds oldest & first racetrack. Hoping to get most of the UK 14's & a few over from France/Germany to make it a great day. Beforehand though, it's all systems go for a meet in CA next weekend/week after. Kindest regards Darren |

Kindest regards Darren Was your car written up in one of the UK classic car magazines a couple years ago that did a feature on 914’s by chance? Classics and Sports Cars maybe? |

Good to see you back on the World. Too bad I'm on the wrong side of the country to be part of this meet-up.

Who from the Bay Area wants to drive down there to meet Darren? I don't think the wife will let me drive that far by myself.
Hi Darren, so glad to see you posting again! Mike |

Thanks for the bump Mike, not really been away ;-) I have been checking in regularly to see what you guy's have been up to! Was really waiting until I knew if my trip was going to happen before posting anything. It's been a long time coming.

Watch out guys, Darren is a detail maniac, he'll be all over your cars!
Show him half as warm a welcome as you've been showing me, and he may teach you some more English vocabulary ;-) |
