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!!??

I thought that might be the case Wolfgang, & suggested that might be the case in an earlier post above, that they might use that as a manufacturer's plate & interchangeable, similar to how the new car dealers here in the USA have interchangeable plates to use on new cars for a test drive. Thanx for clarifying. Bleyseng - what is #4 - the 4th 914/4 prototype? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If so & it's here in the US/West Coast from that WCR, then someone needs to give it some well deserved TLC from that WCC pic, for such a unique early 9q4 prototype! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanx for posting those! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
