Interesting "914" day
I posted this on 914world, but thought some here might find it interesting.
So...the other day I stop up by my mechanic John Forbes at Black Forest Racing and drove up with Huey. At the time he 'only' had 11 914's there (7 in the shop and 4 parts cars outside - I have a picture when there were 14 there). He drove his personal 914 to work. In the building next to his, a friend of ours stores his track 914. Then, one of the guys mentioned 'Brian'... "you know Brian, right?" he asked, "he restores 914's in the space next door"...uh...no, I don't know Brian. Well....in Brian's shop there are 8 914's being worked on, and 4 MORE parts cars!!!
then they showed me the 'storage' area that had all kinds of nice cars...and 2 more 914's.
So in this small little two building, multi unit complex, there were 28 914's, counting my Huey.
And between the two buildings, there's probably every 914 part you could think of....
Just an 'interesting' day....who knew Denver, NC was such a 914 mecca!

Pete - www.914ap.com sells fiberglass back reinforcements. Not sure if you've seen them before.

don't mean to steal the thread, but to answer naro: loved the '04 and probably shouldn't have sold it. (say that about several, including real 914-6, 356 cab etc). Pure sports car, all go, "cheap" interior left something to be desired, but otherwise a fantastic car. '10 a real 911 too but a lot nicer interior with lots of alcantara etc. Similiar feel, a few more bells and whistles...

OK, sorry. I tried the other night, but it kept timing out...
So here are some pictures from Black Forest little while back. Not all of them but you get the point. There are 11 shown from Black Forest and still 3 wrecked parts cars the side of the building. The bottom two are pictures of Brian's, before he reorganized this weekend. there are 7 in there. Not pictured are his parts cars, the friends race car, the storage with two more, John's personal one, Huey, etc....
