Bumping this for niece.
Sunday at our house.
Pm me for address.

Just bumping this to the top..
Get together is tomorrow at Rich's house...
Looking forward to seeing old and new 914
comrades....
Weather is supposed to cooperate too....

Will be curious to see how many people actually
show up in a 914 ??
I know I won't....

still have note received your address...

why not? what is happening?

I just PM'd Rich's address to you. Rich would have done it when he next came onto the board if you had PM'd him.

Do not post my address here, just ask me in pm.
I responded to niece

See you guys tomorrow.

What, it's this Sunday, October 1st???

I'll be there.

Send me a PM Rich, I know the general location but forgot the address.

I may bring Mojo if dogs are welcome

Dogs, kids, wives, all welcome

10/1/17 it was so nice to meet some of the local 914 owners.
I want to thank Rich and his wife for welcoming us
and then even making an awesome lunch for us.
(the chili was very very good)

So, what I am taking from the people who attended is
if we get together will be nice to see each other and
talk 914 stuff.... BUT there were questions and answers
that would have never been asked or answered on the forum here


FUTURE: Can we meet in another location
( to see/work/talk... on a work in progress)
how about February 2018. can someone please step up and
host the 914 mass/new england 914 owners?


question: can I put together a list of 914 vendors in the mass/new england area?

ex: where would you take you 914 if needed welding?
engine work?
paint? alignment?
etc?

where do you take/send your 914 for work?


who has a trailer the 914 new england group can rent/use?


these questions and answers are specific to mass/new england.

Niece (please send me an email with your information 9fourteen14@gmail.com)

If you have these questions, ask.
Are you looking for someone to work on your car?
If so, ask.
Are you looking to borrow a trailer to bring your car somewhere?
If so, ask

There are a lot of decent folks in this area, and we try to take care of each other when someone needs something.
As you saw, we are far from formal, and I am not sure that will ever change.
If you are up for hosting an event in the future, please feel free to set it up.

Rich

Thanks to Niece for organizing.

Thanks to Lisa & Rich for hosting. We had a perfect New England Fall day in the yard. We got to check out Rich's impressive barn & collection of vehicles... 914's, at least one 911, VW Bug's, Volvo's, 356's, motorcycles, and a golf cart.

It was great to meet everyone that came out. We even had two (count 'em TWO!) 914's show up.. I think that's about 1 for every three people that joined. I'm guessing pretty typical. Someone said more 914's would show up in the Spring when everyone gets theirs running for at least a short while.

Thanks again,
Tom

Not sure where you are going with this Chris

I thought it stands for "fix it for you", which of course Chris can!

Steve

No chance for this old guy to embarrass himself. There were no FIFY girls at Rich's.

Your example is definitely not where I was going John, but interesting that's where you went.

Along these same lines, is there a place anyone knows of that does interior work, ie seat refinishing, door panels etc.?

Bodell upholstery, Billerica ma

Better life through Google! or maybe not.....

Does having relatives in Mass. count?

From the Left,

Lah, Bob, Al, John, Tom, Rich.....

did not see any of the 914 mass people which met at Rich's today at Palmer.
there were 3 teeners there.... one from vermont.

it was fun but not a great drive out there it was pouring.
Where is the next venue?

Is November too late?

I was there early but left to get to another commitment. Two 914's when I was there, got any pics of the third?

I'm impressed with the rainy day 914 drivers!

Sorry had to winterize the boat. Damm chores..... Did you drive on the track Niece?

That would have made your day.

I would have gone. But the smell of fish and rust kept me away.

Bahstid!

I remember a yellow 1.7 being for sale on the side of the road somewhere around Ludlow maybe three or four years ago. It was in pretty sorry shape at the time and way overpriced. I wonder if that is the same one. Unlikely seeing how clean this one looks from behind, but would be a great comeback story.

Somewhere along Lombard Rd/Cady Street? Saw one under a carport maybe 8 years ago. Stopped and talked to the guy for a while. He mentioned there were plans to build a racetrack in Palmer and that his son was involved doing cuts and fills calculations for the tracks construction.

Hi all, I am new here and of course, just missed the get together near where I live. Should have read the forum more often, spending to much time on ebay. Just bought a 1973 orange 914 about a month ago and have many questions. It is running now but what if it stops? Not sure where to bring it for service. Who is going to update my brakes after I mess them up trying to fix them myself? My to do list has just under 20 items so it is only a matter of time and money to touch things up on the car. Wanted a Porsche 914 since I was a teenager. Now I have one and still can't believe it.

This be the place. Plenty of help here, and your not far from the 914 Emporium...

Welcome,

You should make yourself aware of Racer Chris, Tangerine Racing.

914 Specialist in CT.

I am sure that is who Porschef is alluding to.

FIFY


Emporium, you say?

You should be ashamed....

nope not this time.....

btw: realized i have some burnt wires way up in the dash....
gotta fix those. would love to open the entire dash and review everything.

is it easy to remove the entire dash?

Not the whole dash, but it's pretty easy to remove the gauge cluster if you mark everything.
