IIRC this was the 1st webpage with 914-content when I started to look for more infos - that was somewhen around 1997 (or so). This time there was hardly any info in German, so I had to read all this english stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I think that Dave Darling was active on this page? He was my 1st contact in the USA and he answered lots of my newbie questions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I just checked my old eMails and found one from May 1997 where DD explained different engine types over the years. It's always cool to read this old mails (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


Thanks for the link (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yeah, I was a little bit active at that point.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (Spent lots of time on that site while "at work", happily I could still get my work done!)

I love the link to "A Darling 914 Story".

Maybe Dave Darling's first post???


Nope, not mine. I never did understand why they titled it that--I don't even think the owner's name was Darling?

Well, I was... I remember that link used to go to the story of someone who had been in the Navy and got a 914, but was serving on board a ship and had only gotten to drive it a few times??? But that is certainly my own write-up! I remember those times of disassembling the motor quite vividly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
