George Vellious was the idea man and produced the 915 shift conversion rear cover and the bulkhead mount for 6 cylinder engines into 914s.
How many here bought them from him? Very few, I'd wager.

Where is the indignation in these cases? Why no lambasting of those who made blatant copies? What'za matter, are ya'll ignorant or just could give a shit less about ole George?

I have nothing against those making these products at present. I know one of these guys personally and the other via the net...before the net actually....good folks.

What is so special about Jake & Lem's case that would cause a selective uproar amongst you guys?

Happy Thanksgiving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is what I hate about the internet & forums. People taking the oportunity to blast someone else without all the facts. Then others going off supposed facts stated by someone who doesn't have the full story to begin with. In some cases as with Jake obviously there is some truth to what happened. Being a part of the comunity I just wish people would show a little more respect of others. I realize people get screwed everyday. Deal with it privately or in a PM. These flame threads do not benefit us as a community. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) In the end things get blown out proportion & people get hurt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Let's talk about what we are doing to our cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I really love 914's & enjoy coming on to see what everyone is doing. It is a nice relief to come home & spend some time on my hobby. Especially when I haven't been able to work on my car. Helps keep me motivated. So everyone just try to keep things positive. IF YOU CAN"T SAY ANYTHING NICE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Do what mommy used to tell you when you were a kid. As my mom put it Shut the phuck up
