I have uploaded a 914 video a few month ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfHdqASXevM#GU5U2spHI_4
I think the video is not a masterpiece but is OK.
But I regulary become stupid "not a real Porsche" comments and bad ratings.
Comments from morons who don't know 914 won Le Mans ...

Now it's the members turn to post and rate.

The music doesn't seem to fit. Like it is 10 years later than the car. Maybe something 10 years too early, like http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/clipserve/B00005A7WY001011/0/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_011/102-4979030-4619361

AWSOME camera angles! Well done! Tre bien!

Posted by: SGB Jul 3 2006, 08:52 AM

I love it! Great angles and editing.
regarding those comments- Why concern yourself with the opinion of the uninformed? If their interests in Porsche are based on the brand's actual capabilities, they will not criticise the 914. I get only supportive comments from the local PCA. It is the "wanna-be" crowd that think the teener is NARP.

Thanks you for your help !

I think they won't come back

Well Johannes I thought it was Great. Screw the nay sayers, you are allways

going to run into people that just can't stand it when someone has something

nice and they will say anything to bring you to their level. Pitty them.

And yes, yellow Porsches are faster.

Nice work, I wouldn't change anything.

Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 3 2006, 05:39 PM

Nice footage! I agree, it is the wanna bee's that go to the local dealership and buy their first Porsche (one syllable) who don't know the story and who get the "sales" reps thoughts and take it as thier own. I love the boxster, but usually can't stand the drivers. NARP enthusiast should be their tag line.

I would look around before you indiscrimanantly flame newer Porsche owners.
I have owned 4 914s and several other Porsches and do not like being lumped in with some others like that.
I currently own a Boxster and a 914. The Boxster is without a doubt the best Porsche I have owned.
I have previously owned two mid-late 80s Carreras and a 300hp 951.

The Boxster is the most comfortable and well rounded sports car of the bunch. But I still love my 914s.

There are many on this board that own new Porsches so I would tread carefully if I were you.

That's verrrry nice, thanks for sharing

AHHHHH!!! The dickheads are making me mad!

Posted by: JPB Jul 3 2006, 06:26 PM

If it were about them and pleasing them then we all would be shallow fools. Its awsome, and we all felt great watching a 914 performing flawlessly while looking at some extremely attractive angles. This is about us and its about 914 greatness, its about being real.


Mine is so ready I can just jump out of my skin right now! Yes!!! This video just got me started!

Realy a nice video with some realy good angle shots !

I bet you almost everybody in this club would like it too.

Later

Cool video - nicely done too!
But what you yella car guys keep missing is that the red 914's are chick magnets!

We're all fast - yella cars too, but red cars are faster where it really counts!

Wow, doesn't that sound like a typical BMW owner? oh crap, just dropped my gold chain on the shag mats!

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Jul 3 2006, 11:43 PM

It's not just about a 914, it's about a 914 driving thru the incredable French

countryside, a double threat. How could they NOT like it. IMHO.
