I guess I don't post enough but very grateful for all the knowledge gained from everyone. I still lurk on a regular basis. |

New blood helps to lift the hobby and spread the 914 gospel. Plus, new members allow all you (old fart*) experts have someone to laugh at while we familiarize ourselves with these machines.

(*By the way, I'm 57) From a 58 yo 'newbie' New blood helps to lift the hobby and spread the 914 gospel. - YES and that's great! Plus, new members allow all you (old fart*) experts have someone to laugh at while we familiarize ourselves with these machines. - Not exactly, give the Old Farts a new audience to appreciate their wisdom and priceless insights.

In just the past month I have talked to several people locally who are either looking to buy a 914 or have recently bought a 914. Interest in these cars definitely is on the upswing. I always direct them to this site.
Only thing is... for every new 914 owner is there an equal number of "former" 914 owners? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Great question OP. Is there a correlation between 914 world membership and values of our 'precious'? Small sample, but I'd suggest yes. I like the way you think!

I joined this website last fall and I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate all the knowledge I have attained from reading old and new forums. My "project" is making progress thanks to this website. In fact I'm not sure I could have done much of it without the help of the 914 veterans sharing their knowledge. I just wish I could post pics using my iPad!!!

With the huge upswell of prices lately on anything Porsche is 914world seeing a bunch of new members? I seem to be seeing posts from members with just a few posts. Thanks, Buck Ya'll are a great bunch. I've been a British car guy for years, but really like anything with a motor. These 914's aren't too difficult to sort out (so far!) and this forum is a huge help. Most of what I've done is undoing some questionable PO stuff and taking care of deferred maintenance. Of course I get "shipwright's" disease and start taking things apart and one thing leads to another. Thanks, guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(*By the way, I'm 57) Are all of us old farts here just old Fahrts ? Or are all of these new guys trying to tell us that '74 is the new '14 ? I do see many new faces around here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Marty |

The picture must be on the iPad, then you search for it. |
