All, figured I'd start a new thread, so it doesn't get lost in last years discussion.
The main show is on Sunday the 29th at GE Park in Springdale OH.
There is an Open House at MetalKraft CoachWerks the day before.
Here's the Link:
http://www.cincyvwclub.com/Reunion.aspxWe had a great turnout last year, maybe 15 or more 914's. Anyone going to make it there on Sunday. I hope to attend, and depending on how much I get done tomorrow, maybe go to MetalKraft as well.
Pipe up if you can make it (or even if you can't..)

The Austin Healey club is having their last autocross of the year on the same day but I think I'll go to the Reunion.

Well I did my first valve adjustment, and did an oil change. I took the opportunity to verify my timing marks on the fan.
I didn't get the valve adjustment buttoned up until late, so hopefully I can time it tomorrow, and really get it dialed in.
I'd really hope to get over to MetalKraft too, I've never been there.

Hoping to hear from some of the guys who made the show last year.. you know who you are..

I plan on coming up from Lexington. I'll have pics of my tub and my donor car and will be looking for advice. I have never rode in a 914. I am hoping I can bum a ride from someone and learn some things while I am there. If I get my alternator belt replaced on the 951 tomorrow, I plan to drive it.

I'm plan on being there Sunday, 914less at the moment. It's still on blocks. Somebody needs to take ky914 for a ride, let him listen to a type IV revving just behind his head.

Assuming I can get my teener to idle I'll be there with it for certain!
Here's a link to last years post-show thread if anyone wants to see photographic proof of the number of 914s that were in attendance!
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=195337I forgot to mention that sometime in late October/early November 2012 I was reading a internationally distributed Porsche magazine... forget which one it was? But there was a half-page spread with 3 photos on the show and one of them was a side shot of all the 914's; more importantly it mentioned that "The record number of 914's that show up was the highlight of the show!" so perhaps we can make that happen again!?

ky914, have we met, and are you a new member of the Bluegrass Region PCA club? I won't be able to make the Cincy event this weekend, but you're welcome to go along for a drive in my 914 in one of our upcoming club events.

Jamie,
I haven't met you yet. I look forward to meeting more people. Just haven't gotten involved in the PCA events as I keep myself busy with 2 kids, and my always neglected honey-do list.
Please shoot me a message with the next event you plan to attend. I almost crashed the recent trip to the winery, but ended up with other plans.

I will be there with my truck load of parts and a car on the trailer. Not sure if it will be my yellow 73 since it looks like I have a buyer for it, but maybe a friends 72 that he is selling also.
I will be there Saturday for the Open house also
Looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing some old faces also.

Cool, I'll PayPal you for a service cover please bring it with you. Bringing anything cool down? Spill the beans man. That way I know how early to get up and if I need to hit the bank to make it rain Sunday.

The 914 Service Cover man will be there in the flesh! If the 914 parts at the swap meet can surpass all the Beetle parts then we're really talking. Now we just have to make sure a sufficient number of operable 914s will follow!
I received compliments recently on the service cover Millie made when I replaced my spark plugs 2 months ago! They were impressed by the built-in magnets. I didn't realize you were right in the region when I ordered it a few years back!

FOUND IT!
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's your car in the foreground of the photo correct?
^^^ It seems the photo was taken before the last 2-3 914s arrived, mine included!
Credit goes to my girlfriend for finding the article while at ol Barnes & Noble, seen here in this mysterious photo reading about Golf's! It think it was actually about December/January when I stumbled upon this?
I slightly recall it being this issue, which would make sense as we would never pass up a cover with an Aubergine 911 on it! Don't quote me on it... perhaps someone has a copy of this and can check Page 72?

Haha, you're very welcome. I'd have even bought a copy if mine was in it, but this must have been taken right before I parked in front of the Tangerine one. If my teener was at the front of the photo like yours I'd probably buy 2, and frame 1 for the garage!
Who's making it to Metalkraft Coachwerks today?

Gary was the photog for this event. I am certain that he will post the best he has after he goes through them.
Not as many 914s this year as last, but a great time was had by all. I had the pleasure of meeting some guys that I have seen on here for years as well as catch up with the local fellas.

Yep, it was a good time, even if I wasn't there as long as I would have liked because of the weather... I left just as the rain started...
Good to see everyone again. We have to get together for a quick '914's and Coffee' event, where we can just shoot the shit.
There is still a lot of good weather ahead for the next couple of months...
