Thanks for sharing all of the great photos! Looking forward to seeing more......Keep having FUN!
Cheers,
Margie & Paul
What a terrific time! My brother and I were only there for the Friday and Saturday portion of this event but we had a great time. It means so much to be able to connect actual people to our screen presence.
A huge THANK YOU to Chris @Tygaboy Robert @BuddyV Randy @RoadGlue and Mark @Markhoward and anyone else who had their hands in this, for all they did to make this event happen.
The cool cars were all well worth seeing. Every time Dan started his V-8 914 it gave me chills- that car just sounds amazing.
Finally seeing Pete Stout's amazing car, which he has owned since he was 15 (If I heard him right) was bitchin. I also learned a bit about our cars history. Thanks Pete for the nice talk and of course the cool water canister.

Quick and dirty edit of some of the driving.
Fun stuff is in the gopros, well get that up in a couple weeks...
What a great event, even during a pandemic, must be love.
I drove sweep on both days of driving and 2020 continues to be a unique year. The tally for cars that started the event at Live Oak Farm:
- Not a single break down
- I didn't open my tool box
- The floor jack never left its spot in the bed of my truck
Yes, @Dan10101 lost his starter (or something that prevented his beast from starting w/the key) but there were always folks ready to jump in and help with a bump start!
All the cars from Friday morning's start are in the Saturday evening group photo!
(OK there may have been folks who left early, but you get the idea...)
What a cool group of cars. Most importantly, what a great group of people.
Thanks to each of you for helping make WCR 2020 one for the record books!

Just got home from the WCR, had a good time. It was great to see some familiar faces that I have not seen in a long time.
Also met some new friends that had been kind enough to let me be a passenger in their /6 conversions..thanks Greg and Keith.
For the most part of the weekend I hung out with the SoCal guys and enjoyed evey minute.
I did drive my car to the Saturday evening photoshoot and dinner.

wow! successful 2020 WCR! thank you for sharing lots of pictures!
@SirAndy we missed you!
So, so good to see so many people with so many smiles—and so many cool 914s—yesterday!
Wish I could have stayed for dinner and caught up with a number of old friends—perhaps next year? Thanks for including me last night, and for the awesome gifts!

Bummed that I couldn't make the West Coast Ramble this year. Sharing the video I made at last year's event so those of us who couldn't travel can at least be there in spirit

Thank you for the wonderful gifts and awesome speech!
The Irish green 1.8 looks absolutely fantastic
Thanks to the folks that put this event on. Even though our trip only lasted a little over 24 hours (engine problems) my wife and I got to meet some new people and had fun while it lasted. Looking forward to trying again next year
Made it home in 7 hours, split the rain and snow down the middle, only got a little wet.
Thanks to all those who made this event possible. Met some new Teeners who were great. Mike M. it was a pleasure meeting you, hope all the best for you.

Thanks to all for sharing the pics and experiences for those that could not attend. Looks like it was a great event and sorry that I missed out. Would have been great to hear Pete speak on these awesome cars.
It looks like you guys and gals had fun. I'm sorry I had to miss it, I will have the car done next week, bad timing.
There's always next year!

Got home safely put 1,250 miles on the 911. We had a wonderful time and thank you for putting it together. On our way back we stopped at San Francisco and visited Michelle’s parents at Presido cemetery and then had a wonderful lunch in Monterey.
It was great to see everyone and meet new people.
I will post pictures later.

I've attended several WCRs over the years, but this was my first where I actually drove my 914. Needless to say, it was the best one so far for me! I took hardly any pictures, since I spent most of my time talking with my some new and many long-time 914 friends, so most of the pics below are from Nancy's iPhone.
First pic is of my beast hooked up to the motorhome. Due to COVID-19, we decided to provide some space by staying at the nearby KOA. I really missed hangin' with everyone at Motel 6, but this was the only way that my wife Nancy would come along and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Cali914 is building an Ecotec-powered monster, so we had a great time chatting about our modifications. I look forward to seeing his car soon.

The first day's drive was great, and I really enjoyed watching DANNYMAC flog is original 20k mile car right in front of me! The pic below is in the trees somewhere in the Sonoma mountains.

The day ended at Bear Republic Brewery in Santa Rosa. It was great to see that, despite some pretty rough roads and some great twisties, all cars seemed to have made it unscathed. Here's a pic of the parking lot.

Next up is a vista point along Highway 1. Again, a great time to hang out, try to socially distance and talk about our cars. Below is a pic of me and my most-patient wife, who has supported me throughout my 11-year build (that is still far from "done").

Although there are many great pics above, and I can't wait to see Matt's drone shots, I thought I would add one that I really like.

Thanks to everyone who helped set up this great event. I can't wait to move my car to the next phase over the winter! Now I'm off to update my build blog...

Good seeing a lot of you on Friday. I'm dealing with some pain issues and couldn't make it all day Saturday, though I did run out to the river late morning yesterday and ran into a few of you in Guerneville. We had a small caravan over the Bohemian Hwy and then down to Freestone.
I shot a little bit of video at the ranch on Friday using the big camera and gimbal -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFIdhUcf870 - Just 30 seconds of footage, but for those of you that got a little lost I think you'll get it!
This video is 4:30 long, but it's pretty ho-hum GoPro footage. I didn't have the suction cup mount with me, so I was limited on angles. Anyway, here ya go -

Thanks to everyone that made this happen.
Hope to see everyone next year,
