So in a box of parts that came with the racecar I picked up Friday I found The Fall 1990 issue of Mid-Engined View (MEV). This was a quarterly publication of The Porsche 914 Owners Association & The Porsche 914-6 Club USA. Somewhere in our attic is a box that has I think the last few issues of MEV (95-96?).

Reading it a few things stood out to me. The comment about how high gas prices, $1.50 a gallon up from $.97 the year earlier, might cause some to drive their beloved 914 less. The ads from RAYCO body kits, Tweeks, Stoddards, AA, California Concepts, Beach Boys Racing, & Parts Heaven.

The tech Session area where George answered question people had on their cars. It is 34 pages and over all a great read.

The editing staff in 1990 was:

Editor - Dennis Deeds
Staff Writer - Helmut Vogel
Tech Advisor - George Hussey
Historian - L. Trevor St. Claire
Graphic Art - Debra Anunti
Photography - Sheryl Singer - Deeds

Though the Internet has completely replaced this type of communication, I remember how great it was to get my copy of MEV with it's tech tips.

If I look somewhere, I'm sure I have my copies down in the bowels of our house, along with my old R&Ts, C&Ds, and SCG magazines!

Yes, we are showing our age!
