All,
I am sure a lot of you are wondering what I was doing with all the pictures I asked you to send me. This is dedicated to all off the 914 owners that have been down the long road, and hopefully this is an inspiration to those that are just starting the journey.
Here it is. I suggest you watch it full screen, and turn up your sound.
Tribute to 914 OwnersWith the death of shockwave/flash, I can no longer embed videos here... sorry.
To all of you who submitted pictures, thank you. This wouldn't have been possible without you. If you sent me pictures, and they aren't here, please don't be offended. I had to choose among a lot of pictures, and I only have 4 minutes of music.
A special thanks to Scott Sheetz (
@scottthephotog ) for helping me to make the short video at the end. He also helped with advice on editing the video as well.

Thank you Clay. I really enjoyed that and it is inspiring to see all of these 914s going from forgotten, abused or just plain neglected over time, cars get the treatment they deserve to return to the road for future generations to love and enjoy. I know my love of 914s has spanned 50 years- which is really shocking to me as I (believe) am only 30......

History in the making and you've created a perfect snapshot. Years from now I hope our great grandkids will see this and understand a bit more about the fun we had and our passion for the little car.

Dax, you are free to share this with anyone you wish. Anyone is free to use this for their events, or just because they like it.

Johny, Yes, I am a Trekkie. Have been for years. But the song, not the TV program was what made me want to do this. It seems to fit really well.
And thanks to everyone who sent in pictures, even if they didn't get used. You are the true inspiration.
