So im working, and like normal, there always like guys a day that come in and say "is that your porche" or whatever, or they know me as the guy with the 914 with the sbc, or what not...

So this guy says that he got this 914 from a police impound. Its a "914 T" and I repeat 914 targa? and he says 914 turbo... I didnt care about the car before hand, but the turbo interested me.... If it is a turbo.. serious score...

He says he doesnt have time for it, he wants 100 bucks for it, what he paid.. Its located somewhere local, so I've got his number, and i'll keep everyone posted. If I dont want it, I'll give whomever wants it his number. and I'll take pics and such.

Wish me luck!

Nope, it is 914... I was driving my 914 today, and he recognised the car...

If I would have driven the 944 turbo (which I was... but I just installed the Rennshifter, and I wanted to test it out... which is heavenly by the way..) he would have never noticed.

Andrew

but if it is a 944 turbo, even better score.. those parts are actually worth something....

Yeah I noticed you took your 914 today.... Gazed at it while I was fillin up for gas.

Posted by: Brent Oct 9 2005, 12:47 AM

Andyrew, I could use another 914 for only for $100. I guess I call dibs for next, in case too much project for you. It would be a nice Birthday present to myself.

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 9 2005, 12:49 AM

You can't turbo a 914, so it must not exist.

Posted by: jnaughton Oct 9 2005, 04:07 PM

You can put a turbo on anything, look what Chyrsler / Mitsubishi did....

Definately NOT a 1.7!!

This is so rudimentery of an answer I can't believe you people haven't figured the code out yet......

Ok.. Lets look at the facts... The statement goes like this.

QUOTE

Lets break this down to it's simplest form..

A 914 T.....

Obviously if you were to put your thinking cap on and do the simple math.. the answer is staring you people in the face...

Break it down for the dumb ones please Mr.Twystd1 oracle person.. OK.. I'm bored so I will...

Add: 9+1+4+t together in a simple algebraic equation.

OK... Ya still don't get it do you.... (Lamers)

"nineplusoneplusfourplust" = 24 alphabetic charachters. If you divide 914 by 24 you get 38.08.

Now if you have any sense of smarts.... You simply find out that T is the 20th letter in the alphabet.

So you add 38.08 + 20 and you get 58.08... DUH...

Are you guys gettin this yet... it's so friggin simple I am about to burst at the seams..

It's an obvious misnomer of an elegantly simple mistake that so many newbies make when they are talking about Porsches....

Now you see.. what the guy was really talking about is exact same same thing that Slits was talking about last year......



OOOOpppssss. Sorry guys. Aaron is calling.. get back to you later...

Posted by: Twystd1 Oct 10 2005, 11:20 PM

Now what were we talking about?

All those numbers at the end threw me off.

I would be interested 2nd in line.

Posted by: Brent Oct 11 2005, 12:28 AM

I don't care whether its turbo or not. I am game if engine and tranny, at $100. Wouldn't mind a little engine to tool around town in. I have plenty of hp already. 1.7 cool. Horizontally opposed, sweet.

Hell, there was a rolling chasis for $1 in the Bay Aea (Craigs list)I could of picked up today, but thats not what I am looking for. No "through rust" , never wrecked or altered.

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 11 2005, 12:44 AM

wow, twisted.... um.

No crack for you!

Im still thinking about it for myself. If I think its got 1k in parts then i'll keep it and part it. if it looks like I can get it running, I'll get it running and sell it. If its a bucket with a non running engine and a trani and its early... you guys can have at it....

lol

Like I said, I'm in line, and won't push for anything else than my spot. I would however be first in line for sawzall party also... if it came to that of course.

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 11 2005, 01:46 AM

lol, No prob, if the tub is bad and is in need of a sawzall.

Most likely I will resell it. or give away the tub after I scavenged some parts or something.

Really dont know till I look at it.

I agree 100%, I tried to look at it thinking it would come up full size but it is too small to see. If nothing else, Post it in the sand box please..

Posted by: LvSteveH Oct 14 2005, 04:01 PM

I asked him to send it to me a week ago

Thanks Brent. I really enjoy looking at an Octoberfest picture! Fond memories of Munich in days gone by. What a nice set of mugs

Posted by: skline Oct 14 2005, 06:10 PM

How much for the little blonde with short hair? I like that one.

Those are some big mugs

Posted by: Brent Oct 14 2005, 08:15 PM

I do love the amber body on those blondes.
