It's hard to believe that there is not a more vibrant 914 community here in the Sunshine State. No, we don't have the best roads to exercise a 914 but we do have incredible driving weather for six months out of the year. So why is it so dull down here as far as 914 events? Actually, they are non-existent. It is my suspicion that there are a lot more 914s in Florida than what appears on 914World. What can be done to get them out of the woodwork and get some events planned and executed? Hey, I'm not getting any younger and want to enjoy this car as I did with my 928 and 356 of the past.

There are terrific roads in Florida, you guys in Jax, Orlando and Tampa are surrounded by them! For those of us from Miami to WPB, it sucks. But there are events to participate in, FOG for us 356 owners, and recently an inexpensive fun rally in February called the Gator Crawl. Mainly old 911s with other vintage stuff included, routes start in the Mt. Dora area. Daily runs around 150 miles +/-, about 450 miles total over three days. Mike Dileo brought his '72 914 a couple of years ago, let's see some more! Will need to get 2023 details but stay tuned.
Alternatively, picking a start spot in the general area north of Orlando to meet works for me, December to March preferred. Loosely organized is fine, although hotels pre-booked helps. So many great county roads, open Google maps and wander... you'll be surprised. |
