For two days in a row I have had people come up to me and ask the familiar line, "Hey, what year is that?"
Two days ago, I pulled into my driveway in the mountains and a Jeep Wrangler drove by. Then he stopped and backed up and asked me "What year is that?" Told him and he said he once had TWO of the same model as mine! He laughed and said "Mine used to smoke like that too." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Found out he lives on the next block! Last night I was leaving Costco. Had my seat belt on, lights on, and was ready to back out. This guy ran across the parking lot and said those infamous words "What year is that?" Then the conversation proceeded as follows: "Did you get a good deal on it?" "Yes" "Did you have to do anything to it?" "I had it repainted and put new floor mats in it." "It sounds great." "Thanks." " I Love These Cars. I've gotta run." And he proceeded to run back across the parking lot. I drove home with Permagrin. Well, mostly because I drive 20 miles of twisties to get home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

My 914 was bought in Germany by a Canadian doctor working on a Canadian Armed forces stationned in Germany in '73. When he came back to Canada, he brought back the teener with him. He sold it some time after and it ended up in my hands in '95.
He stills practices medecine and has an office in Ottawa, about 25 minutes from my place. He doesn't know the car is still in existence and so close to him... I am trying to finish the retoration on the car, painting it back the original colour and will go visit him at his office, have him look through the window and ask him if this brings back old memories. Can't wait to see the expession on his face... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Steph |

He was beside himself after I finished the first restoration the car. Complete re-paint and 5 bolt conversion. He wanted it back, so be careful. |
