I was converting a bunch of very old slides to digital this morning (of course, the 914 is in most of them). When I looked at me 30+ years ago, I shivered. Because, though I was a cool sports car dude in the early 70's, it looks pretty stupid now. Who has the guts, besides me (& I won't go first!) to show then & now? I don't car if it was only 5 years ago....let's see it. I promise I'll be SECOND! If there are no posts ti this thread, I'll assume your all chickens..t, like me & will delete it.
thought it might be worth a laugh. I need a laugh, with oil all over the garage floor - at least I won't need to change it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

Excellent thread... I've been wanting to do this. You just spurred me on to hit the closet and get out the photo album. I just spent the last 20 minutes scanning Kodaks.
Here's where it started... not with teeners but with bugs. This ended up being a 20?? Dual port with carbs. Fun car. This was 1978. Watch for a pattern. Someone can't stop messing with things... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) OK... My first 914. I traded a "mint" Les Paul Jr. for it. The ex-wife pictured was the singer in the band. We're talking Pat Benatar era. This was taken in the U.P. outside of Houghton-Hancock area. Added a few 916 bumpers and took it apart (there's that pattern developing). See??? The finished product. My dream car at the time was a 916. I haven't changed much, now it's the 914-6/GT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nuther... Guards Red. 7's and 8's Molded the bumpers in ala Sir Andy. This was back almost 20 years ago to the month! Well, you asked for it. Me with the beast. I was 25 years old. Someone has a recent picture of me here... check the nailed photo thread on page 11 if not. |
