Just picked this up yesterday, my first Porsche and my first real sportscar. It sat outside for the last three months and got it's first wash in my driveway last night. I dont think I've ever started to giggle while washing a car but that's how excited I was with how clean it is. Bought by it's original owner 8 days before I was born.






Cheers

Great looking car, enjoy it!
This FIB is glad to have another 914 owner in the "neighborhood" even if he is a cheesehead!

Guess I'm the closest member. I live outside of McFarland and work in Madison so that's pretty close. The PCA club here is pretty nice and they even tolerate the teeners. There is one other 914 in the local club. Where are you located?
PM me if you wish.

Thanks Warren, you might recognise one of my other cars

Aha! I do remember you. I enjoyed watching you run the course on 3 wheels. I am the Warren with the Black 914.

Congrats! I saw 3 914s in a guy's driveway in Cross Plains when I was driving through about a month ago.

Always good to have another cheesehead in the group. Nice score!

Thanks Tom,

looked at the three in cross plains, they need alot of work, and he's asking too much.

Posted by: BigDBass Nov 12 2010, 04:06 PM

Hey Tom, I don't suppose you're the owner of the white 914 I saw on 42 around Ellison Bay?

Please send me some Humbird 8 Year Old Cheddar

Beautiful car

Very nice car.

Posted by: Cheapsnake Nov 12 2010, 06:54 PM

Nope, but think I know the car, a 71 with a 2.0 conversion. Mine is just barely off jackstands, but if you see a silver Cobra around DC, that's me. Flag me down and say Hi.

Posted by: skota Nov 13 2010, 08:14 AM

Thanks guys, it would greAt to meet some of the local people and check out your cars. The hardest thing about buying are now up here is waiting until spring to drive it. It'll give me lots of time to tinker though!
