Those in the picture can comment, but since they were "there", they can't participate in the "when and where" answer, (unless there is proof of memory loss; are you paying attention, Pat Garvey?)
And to keep it within 914 World parameters, any photo that you choose to post should have a 914 somewhere in the pic. Also, there should be some kinda hint where the event might have taken place, a geographic landmark, skyline, historic venue, or perhaps just the scope of the picture might hint at where and when. A picture of a flock of 914s on some indescript parking lot isn't what we're looking for here, unless they're gridded with with some 917s and RSKs with the Chicago skyline off in the distance. First pic.... Attached image(s)

Looks like a photo from a PCA Parade. Must be a 912E in the middle there, all 4-bangers right?

I was 3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
But I go to Aspen often. And from the look of the mid year 911 it looked real "new" and still at US ride height I took a guess. I found one of my old pics. Not much to go on, but it was a big event, and a fun drive. Ferg Attached image(s)

Ferg Laguna? The 914 in the mirror is a really cool touch in that photo. |

Yep, just about to drop into the cork screw. I was pretty much stopped waiting when I snapped that shot. It was a "parade" lap, but I could not resist to let JimTab (green car) and Dekman get way ahead so I could nail it. Ferg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I'll take the comment about my memory lapses in good stride, because it's all in good fun! And, because I'll get even!
Does this pic qualify? Am I allowed to play? Hint: I can't find the event(s) results binder. Pat (I think) Attached image(s)

The venue doesn't look familier, the selection of 914s don't register in my memory, but since Pat Garvey is posting this, I'd venture to guess that this is the 1989 Great Lakes/Traverse City Parade.

Paul Looks the same as in 1970 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) - Light Ivory over tan. Original matching 2.0L; 5.5x14 Fuchs; original radio, toolkit, footrest; about 60K miles. Original.. never restored but concours'd a bit in the late 1970s-early 1980s.. so, some door dings from his early years driving it to work in NYC.. Forget the Vin.. either number 182 or 172.. I wish I had some pics of it to share. |

Paul Correct! The ONLY time I ever trailered the 914. Lost first place to Cole Scrogham (ARRRGGGH!!) by .75 points. Wish I'd had his family's money to "create" something that was no more than hype. His car was nice, but it wasn't even halfway clean. He did lend me a much needed master cylinder, so I won't carp too much. Should have won that one! Don't mind being beaten fair & square, but this wasn't! Great venue though. And the black cherries were in high season. Toured the upper penninsula wineries too - not bad wine & fun. It isn't Napa, but interesting & I'd do it again. Also saw the largest inland sand dune I've ever seen - must have been a hundred feet high! Yeah, Traverse City is a must-do for everyone. Pat BTW - was this an acceptable post for this thread? Pat |

Pat WON'T play, because he looks to be brain dead in the photo! Thanks for perpetuating my loss of brain cells. I may not be able to play, but I know that pic came from the 1979 Brataslava Yugo convention. My face was warped from the concours banquet, which included Russia's finiest Kerosene in the banquet box. Why do you think I have no memory? Or,...was I simply yakking on a bone - I forget. But, you'll notice that I was surrounded by babes. Could it be because I can lick my eyebrows? Pat |

Here's another one from the topic starters original event (I think you'll figure it out from the pic).
Anyone recognize either of these 914's & know current status (almost 30 years later!)? Pat Attached image(s)

To help place the locale of the 914 group shown, I'll add a couple of photos showing what was going on in the background........
