500 miles away from home on vacation and got lucky enough to attend this gathering. AWESOME CARS! And, John2kx was kind enough to take me for a ride in his black V8 car. Thanks John! I hope that I didn't leave permanent grip marks on the door handle!
V8 914s are impresive!!! I am gonna be spending some time on the Renegade Hybrids website (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The V8 is now very tempting. Great bunch of guys at the gathering. Glad to have the pleasure to meet you all. |

I just blew in from Atlanta. What a blast! ........and my first road trip since putting car on the road 18 months ago.
No problems encountered coming or going and the weather was perfect. Checked my fuel milege with GPS on the way up and was surprised to see 20 mph running 70-75mph at about 3400-3400 rpm. Hope we can do this again and the idea of doing it at Jakes' place is sounding better all the time. His location would make for better test rides. The area of town we were in was very congested. Have to run but just want to say once again to all the guys who showed up, it was nice meeting each and everyone of you. Pics in the next 24 hrs. or so. John |

Heck yeah, lets do it here sometimein the fall..
I can show ya'll around my farm. Test rides are no sweat here, plenty of backroads and few county mounteys... Heck, I know them all anyway! maybe by then I can have mine up and running with all the suspension upgrades and it might even have paint on it by then. We could take a trip across blood mountain so you guys can give those suspensions the same work out that I give mine atleast once a week... beware though, not many guard rails are left intact up there... I have bought 4 so far myself! wish I could have made it down! |

I just put up some pictures from the event.
If anyone else has some pictures and wants me to host them, let me know and I'll put them up. Nice to meet everyone and put names (or nics ;-)) with faces. Up to this point I've been a lurker spending countless hours scouring the postings on this message board. I installed a 327 SBC in a 74 914 about 8 years ago and have not driven it for quite some time. Now i have a nice new shiny radiator from renegade sitting in the garage, waiting to get the beast back on the road. -bryan |

I would be interested in coming to your next meet too. My 914 is not running nor is it close to running at the moment, but if there is one this summer sometime I would maybe be able to bring it down. Let me know a date and I will work my butt off to get it ready to come down.

Looks like a nice event. I wonder if it was Bill's LE my son & I saw in Nashville last spring. It was heading North (fast) and we were going the other way.

755 miles in a real Porsche. OK OK it is water cooled and a V-8 but still all Porsche.
On the way up ran with two chicks in a Mustang. spent 30 - 40 mintues over 100 MPH and a few spurts past 125. still made 17 MPG. Don't think I ran much below 85 or 90 all day. A/C and AC/DC blasting. Glad I put on the speed sort of forgot the Right Coaster time zone thing. Anyway great to see some of the Club members. Those Por-Chevs are damn cool. Nothing like getting the Hooter girls attention with all that horse power and liting up some rubber. And the best thing NO TICKETS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) I think I will ride my Bicycle to work Monday just in case. |

I wanted to thank John for putting on the 1st annual Spring Southeast 914
Club meeting. This was a great occasion to finally put a face and car to all of the very helpful members. The weather was perfect, clear skies and temp around 80. Robin and I drove from Tampa, FL Friday and spent the night at a friend's house, Yvon. We arrived around 11:30 and met John, Bob and Bob. Of all the Porsches that made the meeting, there was not one air-cooled machine. We stayed until 3:00 pm. Robin and Yvon were the only women that stayed. After we left, Robin told me that the waitress was 'pissed'. I asked her why and she said that "I've been to this table about 20 times and not one of the guys paid any attention to me, they were all out looking at the cars." Go figure, the girl was jealous of the cars. Here's a list of everyone that attented (if I left anyone out, let me know and I'll add your name to this list): List of drivers and cars that showed up: John Thomas Black 914 v8 914Club - John2kx Bob Bishoff Orange 914 v8 914Club - Bigkat_83 Gary Sagaert Yellow 914 v8 w/930 trans Club914 - Tweety 770 487-9926 770 631-6460 gwillie@mindspring.com Clemon Prevost - Texas Silver 911 v8 w/LS1 Toyjet Bill Huntley Bumblebee 914 v6 LJ360398 Joe Richard Silver '78 928 5 speed - driven Yellow '70 914 1.7 228 552-1722 914Club - Joe_Richard, joeseph.richard@ngc.com The following is a list of Porsche owners without their cars: Al Meredith 914-6 Real one 914-6 Auto x ljgmere@aol.com John Jentz '74 914 1.8 jentz@comcast.net Peter Schelbovz Sunflower yellow 914 2 914's down for the count Bryan Mattern '74 914 w/64 327 914Club - dataspace bm@dataspace.com Dan Anderson Orange '74 914 1.7 stripped down Silver '73 914 1.7 almost ready Club914 - Pnambic pnambic@ameritech.net Bob Fisher Yellow 914 v8 w/350 LT1, 993 body kit with wail tail, cage, racing seats, harnesses 706 279-1445 fischerzoo@optilink.vs Doug Leggins '73 in restoration doug302@aol.com Dave Hardy 944 v8 5.0 Porschev list Greg Dondead 770 794-1897 d914@earthlink.net Rob and Robin Watson - Tampa, FL Red '74 v8 conversion in progress Blue '74 parts car Burnt '74 restoration in progress 914Club - watsonrx13 813 719-7518 home 813 390-1890 cell Oh, and this is me and the misses: Attached image(s)

I would definately like to go to you guys next get together. When you guys decide a date definately post it. I just got my tags and insurance today for my 914. This was the first time I have really driven a 914. I'm addicted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Jakes not kidding about blood mountain. When I was going over to his place my gf was gripping the arm rest and the oh shit handle the whole time over the mountain and that was in a chevy blazer. Then again it was me driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) John |
