We all know the term, but who was the first person to use it in relation to a 914?
I learned it from the guy I bought my first 914 from back in 2001...long before 914world or any of the 914 communities existed. So how did it spread? Magazine article? Yahoo list? Certainly someone here knows the origin...right? |

QUOTE(orthobiz @ Apr 17 2021, 06:41 AM)  ...and in that Pelican Thread, Otto's of Venice Beach (POC racer John Williamson) , just calling it the rust Hole . John had a great sense of humor ! We were supplying his shop with shorty-headers for the (1 year only) 1976 912e; which he referred to as the oil drippy "Stuttgart Edsel" or the "Exxon Valdez" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Some of John's Willow Springs, POC class records (most in 914s) are still standing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
