Today I went to the homebrew supply store. The guy that works there is a well-known ultracrepidarian among the homebrew community. I mentioned that I have not brewed in a while because my 1971 Porsche 914 had been in the garage. He tells me that he had something similar, a 1970 "porsh" 914-6. The portholes leaked a lot. It was really fast with 175 horsepower, though.
So I say "that's a lot more than the stock 2.0 made" He tells me that it was a 3.0, they way they sold them in Germany. It said "autobahn" on the side. Had triple Stromberg injectors on the pancake six. I said "ok" and left. I see this guy at least once a month at the homebrew club meetings. |

Does it not interest you to see what the heck he has? Couldn't he actually have a neat car even though it seems he has destroyed his memory?

He "had" this car. He's a pathological liar. I just thought it was funny that he chose to one-up me on my 914... with his 1970 Euro 3.0 175hp Stromberg injected porthole equipped 914-6 with factory "Autobahn" script on the side. I even allowed him an out... I mentioned "wow, that's a long way from stock"... and he insisted that it was how they were sold in Germany (obviously because Germany is so exotic and far away, I would have no idea). That's why it's pathological... he'll go toe to toe on something that he knows very little about, with someone who obviously knows what they are talking about. Not just this... we have several professional brewers in our homebrew club, and this guy will argue with them... obviously he knows more than a professional brewer. |
