OK - let's liven things up some folks now that the Guru is enjoying his twilight years with Fritz or Franz or whoever that loose German is!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
... Garsh - I wonder if his wife knows she has competition!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Okay - so first of all, we have someone over on Wheels & Tires asking for paint advise to restore his wheels on a 75 2.0, but we need him to load up some pix ~ then those with that type of wheel chime in with what you know to help this poor guy out! Plug #1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) #2 - I'll post some interesting vintage 914 related ad which I've found online or somewhere & I'll follow later on with others, but you guys & gals need to hop in here in post some that you've found. Make it fun & interesting, & if it has prices from "back in the day" - all the better to drown our sorrows for today's outrageous prices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Jeff - I know that you have a collection of fun stuff, so jump in here Mr. Bowlsby! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) By the way - if he has the time & interest, I think Jeff Bowlsby would be an excellent moderator here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .... he taught me everything I know (almost)!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Okay - here's a great ad for the Vintage Dunlop SP57 Tires which used to be one of the main OEM tires delivered from the factory on 911s & 914s back in the 1970's. It looks like they used something like Matchbook Cars for the ad, since they didn't really have easy Photoshop back then, but you could do similar stuff with actual paste-ups. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Judging by the file name on this one, credit goes to Mr. Bowlsby for finding it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here's a snippet from a 1973 road test noting the 165HR15 Dunlop SP57's on the then "new" 914-2.0 or "914S" .... . Come on - who's next!!??

Okay, time for some more ads to liven up good ole O&H-Land!
"The Race Porsche" is also "The Space Porsche" .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . . The latter ad above usually leads to "The Porsche Questions" which most of us with 914s in frequent use have heard more than once! "Hey - how many trunks does that thing have?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... Ummm, well two! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) . . Which usually leads to: "Well how much can that little car hold?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) - This particular one usually popped up for me as we unloaded a 3-man dome tent, 2 sleeping bags, pads & cots, 2 ~ 12 qt. coolers, 2 beach chairs, Coleman stove & camp cook gear, lantern, several bags & backpacks, etc., etc. - while on a camp trip in my 73 914-2.0/"914 S" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . . But those two invariably led to the infamous: "well then, where the heck is the engine in that thang!!??" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) . . Which then usually requires further explanation of the differences between their cars, Bugs & 911s/912s & "Their Car" with the engine up front! . . Our 914's never cease to amaze the masses when they're seen in action - whether on the road, track or just pleasurable people & gear hauling for vacations or every day use! Porsche+Audi & VW-Porsche played these unique features & advantages up big time, as you can see from the period ads & sales brochure pages posted above. It's also endless giggles & entertainment for we Teeners! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Hey jsr-jaime - how about you posting some of those cool 914 ads from Japan, that you posted over in the "Legend of the 914 S ...." topic???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... those were pretty cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Anyone else with vintage 914 ads to post?
