Re: Car Show, Live Band, etc - near Toronto

Anyone here planning to attend and what about out southern
neighbors, Ohio, Michigan, New York, etc ?? Sure would be a great
weekend away in the country (car show, fishing, camping or golf)

Check link:http://www.markaircooled.com/festival_page.htm

Should be an interesting SHOW and being in the country it
is very scenic, enjoyable and relaxing time. Hopefully with a
little more promo this year the attendance will grow and the
"Live MUSIC" band will add to the overall event. Looking
forward to seeing many of your cars and meeting with our
fellow Porsche 914 Owners. Until then, happy motoring.

Hello from Prince Edward Island

PEI? You won't get any engines built down there!

Nice place though - just got back myself.

Maybe you should slip over to Moncton and drag Ian Stott back with you for Por'Volks.

Going to try and see Ian when I'm in his neck of the woods next week.

Henry,
Do nan & i have to bring all the beer, again?

Only if you pick it up THIS side of the border!

as of 4:00 PM Friday , 75000 homes in the Peterborough area still without power.
Following storm on Wednesday , Mark call home..
. ..

Marks home is fine, been down his street dreaming about the Por'Volks festival. Besides Mark's home is far from Peterborough area. Lol.

Thanks I'd better call me mum...she lives in Peterpatch...

Mark:
How about a list of Motels close to event site. Also a recommendation as to best and prioce. Hope to make it. See you all. Dave

Greetings Dave:

Mark is away for another week or so; however in reply to your question about
motels, there is a link on the festival page that includes motels, etc. You should
find something around the $ 75.00 Cdn; you might even want to consider a Bed
& Breakfast since they can be reasonably priced and very scenic.

link: http://www.markaircooled.com/festival_page.htm

Trust this might assist you and looking forward to meeting you at the show.
Have a great trip and bring along some other teeners !!!

Allan

News flash!!! Sorry I can't make it. I'm flying in on monday and out early the 19th at 5:30AM. I may not be there in the flesh but will be in spirit.

Have fun and post lots of pics PLZ.

Organizers:

Any idea how many 914's are expected? My last query didnt get a response, except for some nonsense that I should check last years posts.

How about a roll call?

I am coming ('74, 2.0l).

My inquiry is necessary to determine if i should bring my wife with me. 3 cars in a field isn't going to do it for her - and i will leave her at home if that's the case. 3 cars will be ok for me, as it will double the # of 914's that I have seen this year.

PS, saw a mustard 914 heading east on QEW at Centennial Pkwy (Hamilton) on Saturday at about 1:30 pm. Anybody from here?

Jim

I will be there ,but waiting to see which day will be the judging.??
Only coming up for 1 day
1972 914 1.7L

.....


.........

Gentlemen:

Mark just got back and likely still recovering from the long trip to Atlantic Cdn.
Get to your inquiry; we are expecting about ten 914's as well as fifty plus VW.
SUNDAY August 20th. is the SHOW DAY only; we were thinking of having some
other related activities on the Saturday but not this year.

Jim: bring your wife along and if bored she could always go for shopping in
Port Hope for the day. check out the link to Port Hope activities as listed in the
prior posts above.

See you all there ! (Sunshine is in the long range forecast !!)

Allan

Yep, I'm beat, but I can get lots of rest when I'm dead, LOL.

Anyways the main lawn is cut and Mike and Aaron are coming today to cut the the fields and help move some stuff around.
The band called and will be up one evening to check things out.
The lions club is suppost to do the food.

We should have around 10 914's, a few 911's, 50 or so aircooleds and maybe as many watercooled VW's.

Thanx for the info...

..


ajracer do you have a link to your build or any finished pictures,???
or just wait and see it at the show.???

Just got a call from "The Crisis Kings" our band....Their transport truck of equipment ($250,000 worth) will be here friday night and their Dressing room Winnabago is getting here Saturday.

I just scored some swag from TTR transport.

The crappers are here!

The lions club (chip truck) will be here this evening or tomorrow AM.
They will be serving breakfast and lunch.

Chip truck is here!

Good day all. Well the show is now over until next year. I would like to thank Mark and his wife and Allen, for all the effort put fourth hosting, planning the show. The live band was a great addition and a joy to listen to. The weather this year was gray and threatening rain, however it did not rain. I think the promise of rain kept a lot of last year’s attendees at home. But true to fashion the 914 owners toughed it out and we had a good showing of 914. I will post pictures here later on tonight, tomorrow of the cars that attended. I hope more of YOU will attend next years show.

Just got home, 9:14PM appropriately, and had a very good day at the show. I judged 6 914's and a few other Porsches. The top 3 cars had a point spread of just 2 out of 100. Too bad the weather was so iffy. At least no one got sunburned.

Sorry Dave, I should have thanked you for taking the time again to judge all the fine 914. With out you and your expertise it would not have been much of a show\competition. Thanks for all your hard work today.

Should also thank one of our sponsors Mike from Mikes 914.

Pictures are on the way.

Most of the 914's present

Last set

Thanx for a good show , better 914 turn out,even had some 911's.
Too bad about the weather....

... music was good

Nice cars guys! Great pics!

Many thanks to Mark and family, AJ, Paul and whoever else had a hand in setting up the day. It was great talking with so many knowlegable 914 guys. Almost has me inspired not to give up on mine.

Any one of those cars would be welcome in my garage but I fell in love with Jim's 74 2.0.

delayed response - due in part to 914world.com being down.

i too had a good time. thank you to the organizers for taking the time to put on the event.

Thanks to Mark, Mike and David. There undoubtedly were others too.

Can we try to put together a little run in the fall - where we actually "move" the cars?

Jim

Who's red 914 for sale on the pics? Did it sell or is it still available?

The red 914 is being sold by mikes914s.com. I believe it is listed on his website.
It was listed on autotrader.ca also , looked to be in pretty good shape.
