I didn't notice any LED tailights on the rally. Did anybody have them?

I have LED bulbs in my brake lights, and two LED strips installed in the center PORSCHE lens that come on with the brake lights as a third light. I was in the black 76 2.0.

I was behind you for the first leg of the ride and I didn't notice your brake lights being much different than anybody elses, slightly fuller perhaps?. I did notice the 2 LED strips.

Guessing you can see the difference mainly at night?

I was behind you to. I noticed the led center light but not the brake lights. Not surprising though since my LED headlights don't look like much in the daytime but at night they rock.

Hello Gentlemen, My online name is Shag, my real name is John. I own a 1973 914 2.0. I used to own a 1972 914 but that was in 1973. I recently purchased this car and love it even more than the last one. Neverthtless I was searching for people who have similar vehicles and joined the Central PA Porsche Club who had the big show in Hershey that you all went to. I just found out that you guys had your meetings and a drive etc. that I would like to join next time. My problem is learning how to work this computer and getting info posted with this orginization. My home is in Mount Wolf PA and I met a few of the guys at Hershey this past weekend and would like to be informed if you all have any "car runs" or anything like that coming up.

We chatted with you for a while... Welcome!

The "World" is a great source of info for all your 914 needs!

Hello John from Doug in Shrewsbury/New Freedom Pa.

I'm going to try to make the Carlisle Imports and Kit Cars show on May 16th.
PCA Central Pa region is planning a gathering of Porsche's for this one and it's pretty much spelled out in the PCA regional News Letter. The 914's are well received and they want to see more of them coming to the events. Might be a good one for all us local's to attend.

Also, there is also the VDUB Show at Latimore (near Gettysburg off of Rt 15) this Summer that we've had a group of 914's attend the last two years. It's mainly a VW Show but Air Cooled Porsche's are welcomed.

Anyone else interested?

Hello Doug,
I just sent an email to Tim from the Carlisle Show to try to gain acceptence to the Porsche Event there. We will see. And I made a commitment ( as long as it dosen't rain ) to participate with the people at the Shrewsbury show on Friday. If you should happen to attend my 914 is olympic blue. Hope to see you there. By the way I will be retiring anytime in the next 1 to 5 years.
Thanks Very Much,
John

Thanks for reminding me of that festering stench, Scotty.

Forgot to ask:

Bob, I missed listening to your stereo.

I didn't notice any LED tailights on the rally. Did anybody have them?

I think Ken has them on Babydoll

Late to the party again, but yes, I do. I like them.
