There was another blue-green teener there, but we never found the driver. Maybe he'll chime in here?

Great night.

Looking good guys.
Ray, good to see you out at a car show!

Click to view attachment Beautiful summer night...great turnout. Good people!

Great examples of 914's ...glad to meet Rgalla and rmital and thanks to cuddyk for turning me on to this event.
BTW Rmital....I know your car from the L96D Silver Metallic listing on that site that shows the colors for each year!Click to view attachment

yes...thanks to Rory for "suggesting" we go. Would have been happy to put in a few more hours of work at home if he didn't.

Its always great running into other 914er's. Your immediately friends, plenty to talk about....already thinking/planning a wrenching get-together.

Impressive representation from the north east.

what size wheels are those panasports? That car looks fantastic

i was on my way over last night and bailed at the last second

That looked fun..! Great drive to big bear. Would go super early & enjoy the twisties.

Big Bear and Bear Mountain are on different coasts and in different time zones

Bear Mountain is a very cool place. That looks like a great event. Way to represent, fellas.

Might've been 6 had you given me the heads up, Ray...

I might have been 7 had I known.

Thank you.
They're ancient magnesium Minilites.
6 x 15 on 5 x 130

15" wheels are a great size for the 914. what size tire? 205/55?

Many thanks to Ian (cuddyk) and Jim (jimfitz33) for taking the pictures
and being such enthusiastic 914 guys.
It's always good to meet new crazies.

Looks like fun!

This cruise happens every wednesday. would be cool to have our own 914 "asylum". Will let u all know if I'm going next week...

Yes, this is bear mountain, NY. But like big bear, ca...if u get there early you can enjoy the twisties. The approach to the bear mtn bridge is like the amalfi drive. Super fun with a great view. Google it!

..........wow, those mags are nice

where is the location you are parked?
name of the building in the photo?
tks

nice, as a kid, my family used to go to bear mountain annuall, day trip, and kingston for camping each summer. nice cars

I believe that is the Bear Mountain Lodge. I've stayed there a couple of times.

That's the Bear Mountain Inn. New and improved!

hey, I didn't know I was going till a few hours before...it's been like herding cats the past couple years getting together.

Bear Mountain is pretty cool. we should consider it in the future..but meet up on the palisades rest stop and drive in together, more impressive parking together....dam, there I go again complicating it...

nice drive thru there- I drove thru there the day I drove the 914 up from SC to tangerine last month! I plan going back thru there on my way home too. when I got off the Palisaides parkway and jumped on the highway that runs up to Bear mountain I found a great NY deli to get breakfast . their cheese Danish lasted my 2 days!! - bagals were awesome but the coffee left a lot t o be desired....
it was just off the Pallisaides parkway and highway 202 at West Ivy road I think it was. Have to find that on the way back-

- found it - Mountain View Deli Pamona!

Hey Ray, Rory keep me in mind for next time Im pretty close

where abouts?

I think you and I met once we both have silver cars.....im the 75 2.0l w backdated bumpers and 5 lug. I live in Hoboken.

tks for the location info....

on google map... west of the bear mountain bridge on 6 is an interesting

name, "hell hole" maybe 914's are not to pass by on that

road??

Yes, 205 55 zr 15

here's that twisty I mentioned. Rt 202/6 east of Bear Mountain Bridge. The road is cut into the edge of bear mountain about 500 feet above the hudson river. Click on this link and take a street-view drive. Sweet.

Isn't that also known as 9A ? (on the west side of the river is 9W)

No. 9A is on the east side of the river but way south. 9D is also on the east side but a bit north. And Yes, 9W is on the west side. If you head up 9W toward 218, you will find some nice roads too.

Route 218 over Storm King. Nice drive.

anyone interested??

i might be depends on work

yep...as always. what happened to us. we used to have plenty of time for fun.

i am in done early

so, looks like we got Rory, Len, Mort and myself so far.
we could meet right as you get off at exit 19, park on the shoulder 100 yards or so once on "Seven Lakes Drive". So those getting off the Pkwy can see you.
...then we could enter the place together, parking together obviously the mission.
meet there around 6:15ish??? suggestions??

i will see you guys there, i am heading over earlier

...how much earlier??

5:00

Not sure where that is, just relying on GPS. Should be there about 5:30-45.

There's too many cars on that twisty stretch along the river, so I end up going too slow.

A far better road is through Harriman State Park.

No meetings place, just see you at the park

that was fun, good turnout and four 914's
