Leo,
Great thread! Better than watching stoopid TV. Besides the bittersweet ending with the last, heart-tugging, sad photograph, I was riveted by the unfolding drama of who(or in this case, what), would get out(alive). We were all pulling for someone(or something). "Come on 914 emblem, leave now! Can the rear bumper top make it out in time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Calipers! Any survivors? Taillight lenses...hurry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) CV joints? No joy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Kinda like a mini-documentary. "Death comes to a 'teener". I'll nominate it for an Oscar, err, a "Butzi". Thanks for the entertainment, I enjoyed it, sorta like watching the Titanic goin' down. You just know what's coming, but you're hoping for the best knowing what the ultimate outcome will be! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Thanks for the rave reviews.

The up side is that all of the feeder yards will be contacting me everytime a Porsche comes in, prior to crushing. The Titanic did not have to go down, it could have been prevented.

Look for my next Thread "Death of a 911 a Frankinstien Story"

WOW!

I never expected to see this bumped up today. I've been MIA for a long time, so it's pretty funny to see.

Me too. If it was still happening, I would be the one asking for the key and ignition switch. My '71 is getting real hard to turn, and the lock cylinder comes out with the key... Sad to see pics like that, but I've stripped my share at Pick-N-Pull over the years. Always try to keep the Karmann plate, myself.

I'll look as I think I may have an early ignition switch. Now whether it has the key or not is another question. Send me a PM with an addy.

Oh BTW, Toast has Euro lenses on her car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have an ingition switch with key. Just took it out of Papa Smurf yesterday, going with a push button start. It's actually pretty new - was replaced about 10 years ago.

But this is the first time I've seen this thread. It was like a mystery novel - you know how it ends - though this time the good guy (the car) did not get the girl and was killed - but it was the journey to the end that was interesting. Sad, but interesting.

I have to confess...I sent two 914 chassis to the crusher, but not before stripping all the parts, and using much of their chassis metal to rebuild Huey from the Targa wreck. They still live on in many ways...

New guy here....1st view of this thread.

I laughed, I cried, and I want a sequel!

Let a 914 rise from the mass of metal and return to get the GIRL!
