No 914's at stanford hall

Post by dab72 »

Had an email from Bruce Manning to say that there will not be a 914 display at stanford hall this weekend. seems no one wants to show their 914 off this year.
There is however a porsche concours display and also the usual good display of good volkswagens so still worth a day out.

No it wouldn't!


Desparately trying to get a pass to go to Duxford - have friends down staying over and a bit impolite to up sticks and leave! On the other hand.....

Hopefully will see you there.

Stephen - you planning to drive there and back??

:lol: :lol: I'm not expecting the St. Gothard pass but the M42, M6, A14 + M11 are just a bit dull.
I'm sure the end result will be worth it

Have you got any photos of what you've got? I don't actually need much at the moment but if you've got anything that's in better condition than what I have I may be tempted :)

Would really like a rear targa pad that isn't cracked and a passenger door pocket thingy.

You can use the studding you buy by the meter from B&Q for this job, just get the right thread and cut it to size!

I was hoping to sell stuff at Stanford so I didn't have to take pics :lol: but will get on with listing stuff on here now. I'll be posting a thread in for sale as soon as I get the time :)
