I for my part am not a concours person, don't wear white lab coats, and never used Q-Tips on any car. I just drive it every day. But I want it the way it came from the factory - and that's how I use this forum

The Club garage is too full of the "lower, wider, faster" type of crowd

I am not a CW guy really but I do like the "originality" of CW. I am more a a "stock/sleeper look" but way faster type 914 guy. 76, 80, 88, 95, 110 hp isn't enough to keep me happy when I drive a 914 or 914/6.
I am one of the few who knew these cars when new on the board but they are fellows way more smarter in these facts than me

This is a good Forum that also forays into the History of the 914 series which does interest me. Lots of less prattle than the garage which is tiresome at times...

The "originality" aspect of this forum should be/is a useful source of information for those of us who wish to maintain our car(s) "as built". EZ bolt on-bolt off changes/improvements (wheels & tires, steering wheels, H-4 h/ls, euro-lenses, etc.) can individualize the car if the owner sees fit, and the car can be returned to OEM configuration easily if need be.

I think this Forum should be re-named "Originality and Concours Maintenance Forum" or something similar. It is not uncommon to see a post on the Main Forum where the question being proffered could be answered by one of the "nailed" threads.

Lastly, Pat Garvey's acidic sarcasm, self-flagellation, caustic wit, grammer miscues and typos would be sorely missed

When logging onto the Club, I always come to this forum FIRST. I'm not a CW fanatic, but I like the idea of keeping my 914 looking as close to orginal as possible and the give and take of what is & what isn't original for what model year is always entertaining.

I'm as far from a CW as possible, but i still check in here for the knowledge.

Lots of good info in here.
