Maybe you knew of a specific car or you were just wishing one would hit the market that checked the right boxes for you.
What's your story? I know I'm not the only one who loves a good car story! |

I’ll be waiting awhile longer. I doubt the museum will sell me Ferry’s birthday car at a price I can afford.

I’ll be waiting awhile longer. I doubt the museum will sell me Ferry’s birthday car at a price I can afford. thats good, because i want mr piech's and i don't need a bidding war on my budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ---- those two photos you put up mr. starbear are just fantastic. its the same car, not many people would do that. a time bubble. you should be the next Dr. Who. ----- thats a great story mr. oakdalecurtis. i've noticed girls like 914s. not because they are impressed, its because they tell me it is feminine! thats a good thing. ----- i had to dream about the impossibility of it all from about 1977 when i used to hang out with a german hippy in country victoria, (pretending to be his assistant) who owned not one but two NSU RO80s. both still running the wankel engines - and who said to me re the 914, just keep chasing it, you will get one. i was 17 then. i saw my first 914 when i was 12 on a christmas shopping trip to the capital city with my mother. i must have fluked that as it would have been the one and only 914 in aus that the distributor owned. my mother had to drag me away from it. it was red. i fluked getting to the USA and getting an education (even that was a dream i didn't think i could really make happen) and a bit like star bear i had to live on chewing gum to get it back to aus and get it on the road here. i did that pretty quick i suppose, only took about 18 years. i guess its not really mr. piech's car thats the right one, its the one i've got and i'm sticking with it. its red, its got 15% of his engine, but it will do me just fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) ps the 914/sex with the steelies in front of the ye olde euro wind mill is just the ants pants. thank you mr. oldie914 (looks like you had a flat back tyre -- or maybe its the dutch minimalist curb---- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) ) and who cares. gold. |
