Food for thought:

IF there is enought interest , 4 a year , North , South, East, and West, areas of the state, that

way in moves around nobody winds up with a lot of work. Nothing big, just at a

park or someones home. If there wife will understand. AS I said food for

For all you guys in the Columbus area. 7th Annual All German Car Show to be held on sunday Sept 14. For more info Email is GermanCarShow@columbus.rr.com I believe at least two 914 will make the trip from Toledo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)



I attended and brought my car last year. I was the only 914 there! Come on guys make this event!

I have plenty of room at my house for maybe a tech or resolution meeting. I have a huge driveway and a three car / shop for restorations or complete builds. We could also use my shop as a place to help others and participate in helping someone finish their car or sort out a problem. I have all the tools, welders and other stuff to just about do anything.

Other than that I'm all up for getting together and exchange ideas and help each other.

I don't have a 914 right now but I am always happy to talk cars with fellow enthusiasts.

My MGA club is all but disolved as the people in that club are older and just not into things anymore.

I really have not hooked up with the TR6 folks yet as it is still in need of restoration and doesn't move out of the garage

So yes... I would be happy to meet up from time to time. I will offer the use of my place for some meet in the future (I have a kegerator) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I would love to bring my car to this event, But it would be a real strectch to get it running in time. The engine is going in tomorrow, then I am leaving town for 4 days. I will do my best to get it running by then, but it won't be nearly complete aesthetically, certainly not show worthy. I am open to anybody who wants to help, I live right near where the All German Show will be held. Sounds like Steve has a great place to meet. I would be up for that.

I first offered up the All German show as a place for all the 914 in the area to get together. (Got the idea from BarberDave, it was his idea to go from the Toledo area) So lets keep this going and as we get close to the Sept. 14 date we can get a total, time and a place to meet. This may lead to something.

Is your motor complete? Sorted, new hoses to put on, etc? I might be able to help you get it running and get it ready for the show. The aesthetic looks mean nothing. It is all about participation. Plus we can sit around swap stories and tell lies, almost like fish'in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The motor is ready to go in. I am swapping everything over from my 1976 2.0 that is rusted badly into a 1970 chassis. What is left to do before I can drive it: Put in engine (hopefully tomorrow) Put on rear suspension, bleed brakes, hook up guages and engine electrical, put on hood, trunk,engine lid, install windshield, and some other little things. It sounds like a lot, and probably is, But I should be able to get a lot done tomorrow. The biggest problem is that I am out of town this weekend. So that leaves each night after work next week, and the day before the show. I am not sure how possible it is to finish it. I will have to see how much I get done tomorrow since I took the day off.

I actually just realized another problem. I still need bumpers before I can drive it. I am thinking it is not possible for me to get my car to the show this time. But if not, I will be there for sure to see the others.

Dang what a pisser. Well...there is always next year for the car. You should attend anyway as they have the best Warsteiner dunkle beer at the Germania show.

I am close to getting my car running, but still no chance for tomorrow's show. I am planning on heading over around 10:30 or 11:00. Is anyone else planning on attending? with or without a car?

Finally got mine home (see the must have good karma on my side thread) and it's certainly not running, but I hope to get her there soon. I'm going to start with the fuel delivery, brakes and tires and go from there. I would love to meet up with you guys, with or without a car, and see your yours or simply to have a beer. It's a little hectic right now, though, as I'm expecting another little girl in late October, but hope to get the car running by then. anyway, let me know.

Steve - My brother lives over in your neck of the woods, or at least somewhat so. Maybe I'll stop by and say hi next time I'm at his place.

I'm over in Louisville and wouldn't mind meeting up in Ohio somewhere. I have friends in Columbus I need to visit anyway. My car still needs some work but should be ready in a few months. New rotors/breaks, swap in stock FI engine and replace wiring for FI, and replace the tires and I should be good to go. Guess we should shoot for something in the spring as it will be getting cold in another month.

Well give me a PM or something and we can make a fun day of it. I should have my little stupid timing issues out of the way and we can sit and drink a few and exchange ideas or go take a spin and waste some time. I'm always up for that.


BrarberDave:
I'm up for it, and on the bus. Your last event was great!

I live in Cincinnati and have only seen 2 914's on the road in the past year. If you plan anything please PM me. I'd drive a couple of hours to get together. Eric

If we can make it (we are very busy with Football and Marathons and Rock Concerts and working on the orange 914 right now) whatever weekend you pick, GreatPumpkin and I would like to come.
