What is this club about?
What Club.
This is a site of deranged individuals, exchanging ones and zeros, bashing on each other, setting up meets, having BBQs and driving ungodly distances to get drunk. What more could you ask for?
merchandising?
I am however impressed with the toys for tots project.
Being a force for good is worth the effort.
Using American Apparel products for the goodies would be a positive move as well.
Awesome quality and sweatshop free, made in Los Angeles.
The one thing missing in the mission statement I thought was a definition of the ethical foundaton for future projects or decisions. I'd like to see an attitude that supports small designers and manufacturers (bowlsby) and promotes conscious responsible decisions in the everyday members car distractions.
you know,
being a responsible sports car driver
safety with tools, welding equip., and chemicals
proper disposal of hazardous waste and use of proper painting facilities
and of course to get as many 914 off of jackstands as possible,
and hopefully have fun while doing it.
codependence
*sniff* You moved me Brer
Duh..
Last night! A discussion about new product designs for a local home based business owner and major supplier to this site. He will be given two new product designs for our cars to manufacturer for US.
I just recalled talking about it and inking it out...
Within 15min. of your house.
Where do you think some of this stuff comes from??
Bruce Napier.. rubber pieces... (hey Brad.. what should I make...)

This thread wasn't actually meant to be a discussion of what the club is about, there are plenty of threads for that.
I just found it strange that Eric Shea had posted
"Excellent thread ______________ That's what this club is about" in a ton of threads this morning. It just seemed odd.... Was wondering what was going on.
-Tony
yeah, I think he's really a bot with a cookie cutter posting... Has anyone really ever SEEN this guy? lol
if nobody else got your post... I DID!! lol.
Maybe my public exhibition of the positive aspect of the club has you wondering? I mean, it does deserve a right?
WTF would anybody want to promote the fact that people help each other here?

Awe Poooooooooor Z. You broke an axle on your assdragger. WTF DO WE CARE?
So Jen got married WTF?
It's a shame people.
I suppose it's true... tell a friend the good news, tell ten friends the bad news. I guess that's why our local and national news is fixated on rapes, killings and bombings. Probably why SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP threads slamming Brad and various admins about volitional programs to assist in the growth of this excellent service known as the 914club seem to make their way to the top of the home page.
I've got one for you.
I restore brake calipers. You either view it as a service or you don't. You either buy them or you don't. How come in as many years hasn't ANYONE felt the need to ask me what I do with the PILES of money or if I'm profitable or not?
Damn it James... FULL ACCCOUTING! I know you're screwing us with those Rennshifters. You even stated in an open post that your are (careful for the weak hearted) MAKING A PROFIT!!!
Foley! OUT WITH IT! Where's the money going?
Damn people you don't see it? Dr. Evil is putting himself through MED SCHOOL by drilling little fucking holes in bolts for you. WE DEMAND FULL REPAYMENT ON YOUR STUDENT LOAN!
Laughlin... don't think you can escape Camp Capitalist Pig!
Jake. The Auditors are on the way!
Bowlsby... nevermind, we've established you only make 4-5 harnesses a year. You're one of the good guys. You can pass GO.
I agree Tony... is Eric Shea up to?
Eric Shea
I like reading posts about what people are doing and what others offer. I don't like reading 50 posts about someone telling everyone else that what they've posted is what this club is all about. I mean... really...
Really... that's what this club is all about. Am I wrong? Kudos to everyone. We ALL get a gold star... hooray for me.
Man, I've gotta lay off the caffiene...
Whew - I too was begining to think aliens had abducted eric shea and some goody-2-shoes imposter was posting. I see now see from that long smart @ssy post that he is back. As a 5 post newb, I'll never forget the smart @ss comment from eric about how all fiberglass lids needed the bulkhead re-welded to fit, ha ha.
Keep up the good work
This club is about the people, and the cars is an extremely close second.
Uhhhh.... I don't get it. Is joking or......
wait for it.....
WTF???
Foley,
it is ok.. as long as the "stickers" are made in the USA!!

I think Eric Shea said it best in another thread (which I'm not good enough at quoting) "Good answers to any question. That's what this club is about.
Priceless. Literally."
It's about the sandbox !
Club? When did this become a club? I thought it was the non-club, the anti-club of clubs.
What did I miss, when did this happen? I demand to know. "I don't want to be part of no stinkin' Porch club" and we don't need no badges neither.
Eric, I'm insulted, you left me, trekkor and John Rodgers out of your long thread. And after I was one of the first guys to buy your cryo treated 5 lug front rotor conversion.
They still look like brand new after a full season of SCCA by the way. (promotional checks in the mail right?)
Oh Boy, I'm in trouble now.
Randy
Car 54 Here I Am. SCCA G prod Cal Club Champion.
oh oh
I see the same discussions all over the world......
in different times.........
Now here and other threads.
I don't understand the necessity.
I'm going to delete this thread soon. I don't think it adds anything of value, so if you want your responses, or want to copy stuff, do it soon.
-Tony
tony just have it closed don't delete
Oh yeah.. freedom to delete your own threads... (any other site allows their members to do that?)
Dont think so
Brer,
it's all good. I answered because I wanted other people to know where we stand on small business. I know you personally (like I do 100's and 100's of these people)
B
Woooohooooo. Luckie and I made Eric's rant.
I'm finally somebody.
Love you Brother.
To me its great reading form a great bunch of fun people. As for myself, it's therapy and self exploration
Please, don't take me so damn seriously behotches.
QUOTE "Damn people you don't see it? Dr. Evil is putting himself through MED SCHOOL by drilling little fucking holes in bolts for you. WE DEMAND FULL REPAYMENT ON YOUR STUDENT LOAN!"

WOW!
You mean that all the stuff I've bought from Porsche (including cars), and the money I've given to mechanics and parts houses, as well as my gas, oil & insurance included a markup for "vendor profit". I thought this was America, where everything should be available to all either free or at cost! I've been shafted all these years?
No baby - this is America. You are entitled to profit from a service that I cannot perform myself. It's called Free Enterprise, or (inhale loudly) Capitalism!
And, this Club has lived by it. You can't do it yourself - buy or barter for it.
I Love It!
me and hiedi kinda chuckled when we read we was a spin off of the the 914 club.we was selling parts on ebay when we was approached to join the club.and since then just about every major parts retailer has called or e mailed us.they all met us on e bay.if any one can say they made us who we are today,its e bay & our customers from all over the world.75+ % of our business comes from e bay some of that % are club members but they came to e bay to do business with us.and out of that 75+% about 30% of them never heard of 914world.com but they do after they talk to us or do business with us.we keep very good stats on our business how people found us.out of three years on the club our two parts & products threads got 26 thou hits,we took the same amount of hits on e bay in 6 months.
we are happy that you like my products we build,no matter where you found us.we build parts to make your car more enjoyable to you(the 914 owner) its not about anything but that.the club has helped us by allowing us post here.and supported us. but to read brad say we are a spin off of the 914club. feels like your tring to take credit for what our business is today.

That is far more information than we needed or wanted to know. I guess your inability to type is due to sticky keys
Therapy and self exploration is so vague I had to say it, pervbro!
sweet ride
dont get your panties in a bunch brad like i said it "felt" like you was tring to take credit.where credit wasnot due, if your not then relax.im not having a problem
i for one fully support what this club is about. or at least what i think its about.
i really like my 914s and thats what brought us all here.
james
good night
i need to get up early for my one day a week i get with my "hooptie" project in the shop.
Like Aaron Cox, I can't seem to stay away from this site . I should start a new website for many us addicts. I'll call it "www.914clubA.com" .......914clubAnonymous.
Damn, I 'll get on this right now.......................oh yeah, how much should I charge for memberships?
Hi Boyz! What I think it's all about is, the Alien heading home from WWC05 limping to Albuquerque and guys like Series9 getting him on the road again after a new clutch. It was almost like the original Vanishing Point. We watched Rick's progress home. Besides the HU, human element, most clubs are the same.
