OK - let's liven things up some folks now that the Guru is enjoying his twilight years with Fritz or Franz or whoever that loose German is!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
... Garsh - I wonder if his wife knows she has competition!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Okay - so first of all, we have someone over on Wheels & Tires asking for paint advise to restore his wheels on a 75 2.0, but we need him to load up some pix ~ then those with that type of wheel chime in with what you know to help this poor guy out! Plug #1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) #2 - I'll post some interesting vintage 914 related ad which I've found online or somewhere & I'll follow later on with others, but you guys & gals need to hop in here in post some that you've found. Make it fun & interesting, & if it has prices from "back in the day" - all the better to drown our sorrows for today's outrageous prices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Jeff - I know that you have a collection of fun stuff, so jump in here Mr. Bowlsby! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) By the way - if he has the time & interest, I think Jeff Bowlsby would be an excellent moderator here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .... he taught me everything I know (almost)!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Okay - here's a great ad for the Vintage Dunlop SP57 Tires which used to be one of the main OEM tires delivered from the factory on 911s & 914s back in the 1970's. It looks like they used something like Matchbook Cars for the ad, since they didn't really have easy Photoshop back then, but you could do similar stuff with actual paste-ups. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Judging by the file name on this one, credit goes to Mr. Bowlsby for finding it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here's a snippet from a 1973 road test noting the 165HR15 Dunlop SP57's on the then "new" 914-2.0 or "914S" .... . Come on - who's next!!??

If anyone is interested, I have the 1972 sales training volume. It wouldn't help any of us here, since we already know this stuff, but it's cute. No pics. just text and questions. Since I'm planning a move, anyone who wants it can have it.
PM if ineterested. Free. Pat |

Course it depends on the real estate market at the time, but we're hoping for late summer/early fall. If it happens as planned, the 914 should spend some time at Stoddards for a pro touch. Workin' on it! Pat |

Workin' on it! Pat Cool Pat! I have family in the Indy area & we try to visit every year around late August, so IIRC it's only a couple of hour drive down to Cinci, so maybe we can get together some time - you, Paul & I with spouses & any others if they so choose! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Being in the business so to speak, the overall housing makret, finance & the economy/job won't be back in 2010 overall nationally, but certain sub-markets may be doing better. let's hope yours is in the latter! One of my wife's brothers has been wanting to sell the Atlanta (Kennesaw) home for 18 months, since he got transferred to Charlotte & has been "commuting" since then. So you just never know! One thing for sure - what goes up, comes down & visa versa, since it's a cyclical economy always - despite the pudits. So things will eventually recover! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
