If you are looking for something to do this Saturday, there is a German Car show at Gilmore farms near Kalamazoo. Gilmore Farms is a spectacular car museum itself too.
They are expecting around 300 entries. Last year was a great turn out.

Here is the site that describes the event.

Hi Ferg,

I got to see your old car and it looks great. Unfortunately I was not able to catch up with your brother.

There were over 300 German cars at the event. One very nice original 914-6 and a very clean one owner 1974 2.0 as well. Had a nice chat with Nick Moskatow too about our 914 adventures.

Yes, brother said it was a nice laid back show. It was his first shakedown run in the 86 in Michigan, He just had it shipped out from Colorado the week prior.

Attended with my '86 930 and had a good time. Over 60 Porsche, most were water cooled. Great venue for any event, worth a visit.

Ed, do you know do they try and do this the same weekend every year? If so I need to add it to my Calendar for next year

Hey Garold,

I did a quick check on their website and in 2016 the show was on July 9 and in 2015 it was on July 11. It appears that they choose the same weekend each year. They also have a British car show on the following day Sunday but I have not been to that event.
This years German car event was a great time.
