How bout it guys?

Posted by: 76-914 Apr 2 2024, 07:23 AM

Here we go again.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Apr 2 2024, 07:28 AM

I nominate @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=20499 's Bumblebee as we are nearing the 50th anniversary of the LE. Gorgeous example that just spent the last year as part of a Porsche 75th Anniversary exhibit at the LeMay museum in Tacoma, WA.

Wow, great car and exhibit

Posted by: rjames Apr 2 2024, 10:34 AM

I missed going to the exhibit. Somehow it fell off my radar until the day after it ended.

Posted by: fiacra Apr 2 2024, 12:44 PM

I may be biased, but I'll second that nomination.

Posted by: JeffBowlsby Apr 2 2024, 01:08 PM

I’ll triple that nomination.

Posted by: slowrodent Apr 2 2024, 01:37 PM

Im good with it... Just pick one.

Posted by: 914 Apr 2 2024, 01:45 PM

Second on bobs car He will win.

Posted by: mxkinn01 Apr 2 2024, 04:57 PM

Bobs car for the win.
Then of course the LE right after.

Posted by: JeffBowlsby Apr 2 2024, 05:41 PM

As both are worthy, let’s put up the 914 that is more rare and most original.

Posted by: mepstein Apr 2 2024, 06:01 PM

Let’s put up the one that’s unique and interesting.

Posted by: fiacra Apr 2 2024, 06:28 PM

Don't they both fit that description?

However, it ain't the 50th anniversary of a modified high budget 914-6 build. Bob's car is awesome, and having met him, and bought a car from him, Bob is the salt of the earth, and both he and his car are worthy of accolades, but in terms of historical significance this really isn't a contest....And if we have to be picky about being unique, there were far more -6's built than LE's.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Apr 2 2024, 06:35 PM

Having seen Bobs -6 up close, I would say it’s one of the finest 914s around and will vote for it.

Looks like you just volunteered to run the CotM ...

Posted by: G e o r g e Apr 2 2024, 07:14 PM

I second Sir Andy's post

Posted by: mepstein Apr 2 2024, 08:01 PM

If you want me to I will.

Posted by: technicalninja Apr 2 2024, 08:30 PM

I second the nomination to have mepstein run the CotM!

Someone needs to do it.

He's got a pretty good handle on 914s.

And, he has "too much time on his hands..."

Posted by: wonkipop Apr 3 2024, 02:11 AM

democracy has failed.
mr. mepstein might be a good dictator.

its only a front page. harmless.
but sure to be interesting.
can't wait.

Posted by: mate914 Apr 3 2024, 05:02 AM

I think you will do a fine job. Lets get some cars and pictures then vote.
Matt

I’d like to show some different 914 pics month to month. No offense to Jim but we’ve been looking at the same car for too long. I don’t think car of the month has to necessarily be a competition or vote. The members of this site have so many variations of a 914. Let’s show them on World.

Posted by: Craigers17 Apr 3 2024, 06:57 AM

Whether it's a 3-Car vote for COTM, or just getting cars lined up in a "que" of sorts to be displayed monthly, it would be great to have different cars displayed each month. Thank you Mark! BTW, no matter which way it goes, I think that campbellcj's car is another EPIC 5 star car that deserves some front page time.

Completely agree....

I don't think there is a need for drawing out a selection with a voting process, believe mepstein will make a good benevolent dictator selection.

Posted by: mepstein Apr 3 2024, 08:23 AM

Whatever SirAndy decides my role is or isn’t is fine with me.

Posted by: BillJ Apr 3 2024, 08:37 AM

Here is my vote hehe

We box ourselves into a corner by setting the expectation that this is car of the month. When the month is done then the old men in the balcony start griping.

How about we call it "914 World Featured 914" or "Home page 914" or similar to not set an expectation of time?

Posted by: Cairo94507 Apr 3 2024, 08:50 AM

I vote for Bob B's car; it is quite stunning.

Posted by: mrholland2 Apr 3 2024, 09:11 AM

And why not feature cars in progress? That could be interesting and "outside" observers might be drawn into something that inclusive?

Posted by: technicalninja Apr 3 2024, 09:15 AM

Let mepstein run it how he wants without rules...

He's a "Big Dog" and most members will support him. I will!

One rule should be "No pestering mepstein about what you'd like to see".

Trial run for 3 months.

Let him change cars how and when he wants.

Might be Car of Week! Let's see what he can do.

I'm in agreement, cars that should be shown, not just the perfect beauty queens.

Both of Tygaboy's cars should be candidates even though they look ghetto.

We all know what has gone in them and Tyga's right!

The journey is what it's all about...


If he screws it up, we can hunt him down!

Posted by: Nogoodwithusernames Apr 3 2024, 10:45 AM

A trial run of something different can't hurt, would be good to see some of the other amazing cars on here.

Posted by: Montreal914 Apr 3 2024, 02:06 PM

Elect a COM caretaker and give him freedom to set his rules. Elections could be held every 6 months (although I have a feeling this will quickly get pushed to every year..,or more…).

So far, one candidate. He has my vote.
