There Is Hope For The Younger Generation, Priceless 914 Encounter Options

[Osnabruck914]

Last Sunday I decided to use the local high school's huge empty parking lot to balance my carburetors (for my neighbors' ears sake). While I had my head deep in the engine compartment tinkering with the linkage, I sensed the approach of someone and heard them say "Are you alright?". I looked up to see two kids. One was about 8 years old on a skateboard, the other about 11 on a bicycle. I told them I was fine, just working on my carburetors. That's when the 11 year old asked me "What, running rich?" I was taken aback and answered "No, just balancing them, they often need to be balanced." That's when the kid really floored me. With great authority he stated "That's why I like single-carb setups, or fuel injection." I was dumbfounded. He then performed a walk-around inspection of my car, saying "This is nice, yes, this is very nice. Porsche is my dream car." I asked him what model he wanted. "911." he announced.

I wanted to find out what made this kid tick, but they drifted off before I could quiz him.
And I do believe he will get that 911 someday. I think perhaps there is hope.

While at a cars and coffee a young man comes up and says “wow a 914”
Then he looks into the engine bay and says “wow it’s got a v8 in it this is my dream car”.
He said his dad owns a 911 and he gets to work on it with him.
I was pretty blown away. I then let him sit in it and I fired it up.
Probably my favorite cc day .
