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. |

I agree with Tom here- mess with him on how priceless it would be now. Throw him a curve and say "I'd bet it's worth close to half a million today!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
It's not a 914, but I get the same thing with my dog- a Merlequin great dane. Seems almost every time I've got him out for a walk, there's at least somebody that's positive he's not a great dane. He's either a greyhound or a dalmation- I even once had somebody argue with me till we both were blue in the face that he was a whippet! It's like I'm no expert on great danes, but I'm pretty sure I know what kind of dog I paid for, y'know? Tender at 6 months  |

It must have come from the Dane factory with custom grey-whippet parts. |
