This is kind of a rare thing in my part of the world, so I thought I'd post it.
On Thursday morning I spotted a beautiful silver 914 with flares flash past on William St. heading for the city. This is the fourth 914 I've ever seen in Australia. The first was an early white one a dealer in Geelong in the mid eighties. The second was at a Porsche Cup race at the first Melbourne F1 GP, The third was just a couple of years ago on Victoria St, Kings Cross - metallic Green with flares and a tan interior. Nice RHD conversion, too. I flagged this guy down and chatted for a minute while traffic built up behind him. I just imported mine (1970 1.7 - White) before Christmas, and it's now sitting in my Mum's garage in Geelong, while I recover from the trauma of importing a car. (It was towed from Oakland to Long Beach, shipped half way around the world with no dramas, and then the SOMEHOW the windscreen came off between Melbourne and Geelong, a 45 minute ride on a flatbed! (Thanks, Geelong Towing java script:emoticon(':finger:') java script:emoticon(':finger:')). (A$550 for a replacement from Porsche java script:emoticon(':blink:') java script:emoticon(':blink:')). I owned this car in L.A. since '95, and it was stored at a friend's place in Martinez CA for a few years. You want to know who your friends are? Ask 'em to look after a car and help you ship it overseas! (A big thanks to Mike!) Cheers, Rick |

amazing story; if it were me, the ship carrying her would have gone down.
i just got to see the rugby world cup final on tape. i know, i know, it is pathetic that we have difficulty in this country trying to watch the game played in heaven. anyway, even though australia came in at number 2, it was a well played, and hard played game. american sports don't often get finishes like that match! i expect the wallabies will be strong again in 2007. |
