I was going through an old photo album and ran across a photo of my first Porsche a ‘67 911 that was my daily driver in college back in the mid-80’s. Since than I’ve owned (8) Porsches....I regret selling some. I find it interesting to hear other members Porsche stories / history.....so let’s hear yours.

Here’s my count.....
1967 911 Aga Blue/Black - sold
1968 911L Burgundy/Black - sold
1969 912 Bahama Yellow/Black - sold

I was thinking of writing a story around each one. They were all unique and integral to aspects of my life.

My dad bought a wrecked 1975 914 2.0 because he wanted to build a 904 at the time and use some of the mechanical elements of the 914. To make this go through his boss, my mom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , my name was on the registration (title in Canada). I was 18...

Theoretically, this was my first, but I never drove it neither was it ever used in any 904 build.

Fast forward 22 years, when I moved to California at 40, I bought my current 73 914 barely a month after I had arrived. My wife and kids were still in Canada! I got fed up of the Dodge Caliber rental paid by my employer and got myself a real daily driver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Then a few year later I also got a 74 914 2.0 project car that I later sold to a member here for him to complete.

So that would make three 914s.

But I definitely like the 2.5 from SirAndy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You two guys deserve an award! That is commitment!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

At one point a few years ago we had eight, two of which were racecars, all 1970 or older. With other projects underway, that was slimmed down to the current four that we'll probably never sell.

One that I kinda wish we had kept was Der Pickle, a '68 911R-ish replica. Stout, fast and dependable, a blast to drive.
