You know, I don't like being an asshat, but several of you are testing me. Guess what - you lose!
Though we love to talk about concours 'd elegance(please note the spelling), it is not the primary function of this forum. The primary function is to disseminate info concerning originality anf history of all 914's. We love to hear about all the documented nuances of all 914's. They educate us. We love to hear your tricks for making a a concours 914, so long as it keeps the car ORIGINAL, as delivered by the Fatherland(or even the dealer). But here's the rub. Modifying a 914 and then calling it "concours" is NOT original, nor does it have any relation to 914 history. It is, in fact, "modified", and not suitable for this forum. To those that I piss off, sorry - take it to the garage. I will no longer tolerate discussions on this forum that do not pertain to ORIGINALITY or HISTORY. It's my job to keep this forum clean & I will do so. I will close all topics that do not conform to these rules. You have other venues. To those that would say I'm stiffling discussion, just remember that this forum was created & designed for ORIGINALITY and HISTORY! Sorry to be a hardass, but until you replace me, these are the rules. Pretty simple too. Pat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...Yes I agree with you, and have noted that some Posts have gotten off the subject of the original POSTERs question, or comment. Seems like there are some people that have used these posts as a "chat line" and get way off the subject matter.I am sure that you don't want to have to police this forum as it cannot be any fun for you to have to do it.....SO for those of us who use and need this forum lets help out by keeping on the ,originality and history aspects of the 914. maybe WE should point this out when there is a post thats off the subject....thanks for the job you are doing.......

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) You are "dead nuts" right on! Look, I know that I'm alienating some people against me. Don't care for it, but this is the job I signed on for - promoting ORIGINALITY and HISTORY of the 914. We can discuss concours tips all day, but don't try to convince us that a conversion (for example)will ever be "concours" . Could be a nice show car, but not concours, since it isn't original. I reiterate the purpose of this forum. Promotion of original 914s and the history that they bear. Restorations to proper original status are OK, and we would love to hear the stories. Sorry to those who disagree, but you have an option! Have me removed! At which point I'll re-create my own originality forum. Maybe we should have a vote(poll). You tell me, but in the mean time I'll close or move all new threads that do not meet forum criteria. Pat |
