So I was going through some old pictures and found this one. Looks like it is from a Moab RRC event. Picture is dated 9/27/05.

Anyone know whos New Mexico car this is and why there is a siphon hose from my 914 to that car?

I have no info on the history of that pic Toast, but it sure looks like they didn't know where to find the gas filler on a 914!

Cheers!

I'm 95% sure that is (was) Joe O'Brien's VW. I wasn't part of the 914 scene yet so I wasn't there, but I'm something like 99% sure that late night shenanigans were a major contributing cause of that situation In other words, the reasons for that are probably long lost to the mists of time and sick minds

Edit: just saw Joe, there he is in the upper right corner bending over halfway. So who knows what the hell was going on. My $ is still on a joke of some sort. Why was you car half jacked up?

Seriously Jon? For what reason could my 914 possibly NOT be jacked up??

Good point! It was probably that time you ran out of tail light fluid (edited - I was wrong before, rear quarter panel fluid should not be a problem since it's a sealed piece of equipment and I just noticed the siphon is attached to the fill point for the tail light fluid). Gasoline can be used in a pinch, but it must come from a Porsche or a VW. Lots of people don't know you can do use a VW for that.
