I'm considering adding a 912 to the garage to keep the 914 company.
I've been researching 912 sites and all I could find that is remotely like World is the 912 Registry BBS. It doesn't come anywhere close to 914 World.

Does anyone know of other sites?

Thanks,

Jack

I found this '69 about a year ago. It shows 3000 miles now after turning over twice. My 2.0 914 has more power and torque and handles better, but the 912 is more closed in for bad weather and has classic looks. Both have 5 speed 901 transmissions but the 912 turns 3700 RPM at highway speeds and the 914 turns about 3000. Both are noisy. Much easier valve adjustment on the 912. Don't ask me to choose between them...I'd be the donkey between two bales of hay.

No website compares to 914world but the 912BBS site has just as good people. It seems that nothing inspires "hands on" understanding like a 914 though. Remember to use your real name on the 912 site.
