well i went to hershey today, i spoke to almost every person who was selling 914 parts ( well not just one part ) and none of them we members here. they all said they did not like the bs. one guy even said all he hears about with the club from people who he knows that come here is his name and what he is doing. well lets just say i have never read his name here at all, so i dont know what he was talking about. other people just said they are sick of all the people here who think they know what they are doing. but the basic theme i got was they all said basicly the same thing... no good info and too much BS ( boy i love this place )
now for the good parts, i talked with charles from LN engineering, and one member ( i dont remeber his name ) who was selling his 300 mile 76 2.0 engine for 1000. it is complete with late exaust and all. then when leaving i see 2 914s with people next to em, one with a 914club hat. so i stopped on the side of the road and ran over to say hello wavey.gif hello dan there was a guy who had a bunch of parts there and a primered roller, which looked ok till i noticed the fiber glass hell hole. so if anyone sees it for sale on the east coast run away, i honestly dont know how bad it is under the fiberglass, but if it is bad enough to glass then well alfred.gif also the swap meet was like 1/4 to 1/8 of what it has been years before, basicly it was a wasted trip |

Well, being from the Great State of Texas, I suppose I have a different impression of this club. I love the advice that I get here, and how everyone is more than helpful. It is sue better than the late 80's early 90's when I was driving my car daily to school. You basically had to rely on tech tips from AutoAtlanta for help.
Occasionlly when I come across another 914 owner, I will ask them about the club, and most of them are aware that it exists, but I don't think they utilize it very much. The club does have a west-coast flavor to it, which is maybe why it sometimes invokes a nuetral or slightly negative reaction. One gets the impression that everyone knows each other "in person" on the west coast - like there is a 914 owner on every block or something. But it sure as heck beats that Renlist piece of crap list - I couldn't ever get people to even acknowledge me on that forum. |
