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) |

Pat, I didn't mean to upset you. I was a responder to the whole gauge thing. I was just trying to give the poor fella an idea he may not have thought about. I just hit view new posts and didn't realize it was in you forum. I think the whole rant was a little over the top, and a nicer way to handle it would have been a post just saying this is off-topic and will/has been moved to the garage. I understand you are trying to keep your forum clean from non original 914 stuff, thats what the garage is for. Alienating the riff-raff is not a productive way to keep the forum alive, the riff-raff may want to build an all original car one day. I know its not easy or popular sometimes to be in charge of something like this, so I will thank you for doing it and move on.
