A friend invited me to a local gathering of Porsche 356 owners. My friend was driving an old chevy truck, and I was in my 'ok looking from 30 feet' 914. I assumed the folks directing cars where to park would point me to the same parking area that they directed my friend in the truck to park in. Instead they pointed me to the area where all the 'real' Porsches were parked. Parting the crowd in my 914 as I headed to the grassy area, I felt like I was getting away with something and fully expected people to start pointing at me just like the aliens did to the last humans in the movie 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. However, my 914 was mostly accepted, and from afar I even saw a few folks walk around it as if they had never seen one before.

Anyway, the the host of the party has quite a collection of cars, including a real 914-6. I thought a few people here might enjoy the photos, even if there is very little 914 content.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Only been there a few times when Mark asked me to follow him. Nice place and some very nice cars. Denny is a great guy that has cars I dream of daily.

The above car was there too, but so many people were standing around it that I couldn't get a good photo.

I've actually got to tinker on it... well okay, I held a wrench while Mark and Denny were doing something before the race at the historics. It's really fun seeing Denny run. He generally runs with the big bores, even though the Pooper is a small bore, and he starts at the back of the field and works his way up. Generally finishes first or second too.

Yes, pretty wild stuff. There was also a dragster sitting on a trailer that was going to be fired off at some point. Decided to save my hearing and headed home before it happened. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
