Hello everyone! My name is Ralph Piccola. From Menifee CA.

Current stable is 2000 911, 1970 914, 1970 VW Bus, 1973 VW Super Beetle Convertible and two 1950 era 3100 Chevy pickup trucks. The trucks are non running projects and the 914 is currently being made road worthy.

I've had a number of Porsches in the past. 911s are my fave, dream car is a 993. Crazy prices now! I have attended 2 Porsche Parades in the past, had a competition track license in Las Vegas and did a number of autocrosses. Happy to find this site!

We're glad you found us too! Looks like a great collection of air-cooled car. Pics are a must. I might have to do a poll on how many Porsche owners also have a pick-up truck or two. Seems like lots of us do. Welcome aboard!! --Tom

p.s., CA native here, and have to say I've never heard of Menifee until now!

Here's a few pics of the 914. I'll need to upload some of the other cars!

I've owned Porsches for 53 years. Started with a 914, the only one i bought new. Followed with a 1969 911 coupe, a 1971 911T Targa (kept it 25 years and 245,000 miles) a pair of Boxsters, and my current ride, a 1995 Carrera 4 that I've had 12 years and 136,000 miles.

Howdy. I have had my 74 914 2.0 for 36 years. I live in the upper end of the Willamette Valley.

That's more than a few years of ownership - impressive!

Welcome to Carpokes and thanks for the excellent Oregon Pinots out of Willamette Valley!
