I found myself in the odd situation of having the only 914 at the PCA-SVR event last weekend. During the afternoon sessions, I was talking with a guy who is a childhood friend of friends of mine. He mentioned that he has a 914. Oh? I wonder why he is autocrossing a C2? As the conversation goes on, it turns out it is an original 6 and in great shape.
I thought maybe I had found one that was not on the VIN Registry but it turns out, Darryl is a member and doesn't even remember it! He hasn't logged on since 2008 and has 0 posts! Great guy and great car... Here is a pic of his whole herd... I will try to lure him back on the site, his screen name is Mac Schnell and I would bet he can't remember his log in and password. Attached image(s)

Is that 914 painted Petrel Blue? That's a 911SC color (and probably others).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Definitely not Gemini Blue, looks a little too dark and greenish.... Lighting, cameras, computer displays, etc. all change the colors, as do the ambient lighting & area around the subject (e.g.: gass, trees, etc.) to make a statement like that. I've seen pics of other 914s of know Metallic Blue & Gemini Blue which look pretty close to this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Rob's just going to have to call the guy for his Karmann Plate color code & check to see if it was repainted different or same color ever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .... OH! ..... and to get more pix too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

By the way, Darryl plans on being at the Infinion autocross coming up in November. 19th I think. Be there and get all the pics you can stand. Oh, and I will be flogging my new engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
