Today I went to the homebrew supply store. The guy that works there is a well-known ultracrepidarian among the homebrew community. I mentioned that I have not brewed in a while because my 1971 Porsche 914 had been in the garage. He tells me that he had something similar, a 1970 "porsh" 914-6. The portholes leaked a lot. It was really fast with 175 horsepower, though.
So I say "that's a lot more than the stock 2.0 made" He tells me that it was a 3.0, they way they sold them in Germany. It said "autobahn" on the side. Had triple Stromberg injectors on the pancake six. I said "ok" and left. I see this guy at least once a month at the homebrew club meetings. |

Too bad he doesn't still have that one off car, it would be priceless. Have some fun with him about how much it would be worth today. Hee, hee!

Tom That's the thing... he says it was a stock German version, just like every other 914 sold in Germany. He's pathological... he has an altered sense of reality. |
