I think I get it now. To be a member of the club that honors the tradition of not being welcomed to the other club, and was created by the botched marketing of a brilliantly engineered car - I can swap any engine I like into the chassis EXCEPT electric motors, and it is cool to install any period correct option or accessory available from the dealer EXCEPT the hood badge. Do I have that right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)


No.

The only acceptable engine is aircooled. Others are tolerated, but, we all know the only proper motor is air cooled. Glad to be able clear that up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I think the majority of population of 914World consists of troublemakers.

page two of this thread just took this silly debate to a whole new level lol!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)
What's cracking me up is that we, as owners of a car that some claim as NARP, generally exhibit the same kind of picky and strong opinions that the Porsche community is known for!
I mean if it wasn't for guys like Magnus Walker who popularized the idea of making a car look however you wanted it to, then I'm sure anyone who painted their car any color other than the original color would be shamed out of town!
And it's so ironic that Porsche owners are so set on being picky, we'll continue to do the exact thing that Magnus was rebelling against.

About Magnus when he was new - "Oh it's not a real outlaw because only 356s can be outlaws"
About anyone who's not Magnus - "Oh, it's not a real Magnus Walker, just a tribute or a clone"

In fact, it literally just dawned on me that in my joking of the original post, I was still being a pedantic Porsche owner by expressing the need to standardize hood crest placement! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Thus, fellas, we are as Porsche as Porsche owners get! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Non-sequitur, but... I've always felt this was the wrong comparison. Isn't a perfume atomizer way more akin to a fuel injector? Since it takes a positive force to push out the fuel? (As opposed to a carb, where vacuum pressure pulls out the fuel.)

You don't see this badge placement very often but I love it! So subtle ...I've been told that the crest is special as well.
All the best,

If I ever have the $ and time to get around to repainting my car, the crest will be removed (along with the side markers).


Now that is interesting. So, you want to remove the crest because the car did not originally come with one, but you want to remove the side markers because it did?

I like the idea of no crest or even lettering. Those that are in the know, know. Those that want to learn can ask.

However, I do find some comfort in the confusion on some in having this badge

However, it's a nice big square hood and the crest does look great nicely placed.

Be it NARP, Porsche, VW, or whatever purist form, it can't be any worse than when I go to coffee and cars and there is that 'guy' in the new Porsche that kinda looks like this

I mean you could probably print your own but then Porsche would sue you back to the point of never wanting to see their logo on anything you own ever again!
