Yes Jeff we have been using the phrase since the middle 80's when no one liked the 914 and we were heavily promoting the car. We wanted to give it world status and I copped the phrase from several big companies who were using the phrase.
Because we at the time and still have the worlds best 914 car collection, the worlds best 914 printed catalog, the worlds biggest collection of 914s the worlds biggest collection of 914 parts, the worlds biggest and most passionate 914 weenie (yours truly) and the worlds most popular 914 tech publication touted by Road and Track magazine as "no 914 owner should be without it" AND have been dedicated to the 914 now for 36 years and until the last breath I take, we feel like we can claim the title.
Our tiny little claim to fame in this large world but I guess like any man it is important for him to claim something to feel worthwhile!!!!!!





How is that for self promotion??????

To protect words and phrases you have to register them and trademark them and go through that whole process or it is nothing and anyone can use it. "914" is protected under VW/Porsche, so if they did not get permission from them, it is also a violation. This is a complicated area. Most enthusiast sites are ok, but when people use the names and stuff for business purposes, then they might get in trouble.

That's not entirely true. I know of one case where an unnamed large corp assumed that and ended up with a big one in the rear. It's a great Sampson & Goliath yarn, told to me by my patents atty, several years ago.

Well, I must say that I was absolutley shocked when I recieved my first catalogue from 914 World Headquarters back in the late 80's. It gave me a lot of inspiration.

George, you seem to get a fair amount of abuse and suspicion here, but I am glad to see you taking part in the forums.

Speaking of old stuff:

Found a T-Shirt the other day from another major 914 supplier of parts from....1991 or 1992 I believe? Can you guess who by the slogan?

"Your car is your catalog"

Any guesses, probably an easy one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


GPR.
It was a response to the many catalog requests that Dave received.
It's really hard to produce a catalog. He offered the explanation that he could keep his prices down if he didn't spend 6 figures on a catalog.
His prices were low, as they are now.

OK, Just asking because I have been a member here since Jan 03, after the split, and at least a few years before that at the club and I never noticed it!

It isn't a big deal, it just jumped off the page when I read the add!


What split?

A local guy in Charlotte (Terry) many, many years called his place 'The 911 Shop'.

Porsche told him to change it. It's now 'The 9-11 Shop'. Go figure.

Oh, and he has a GORGEOUS 914/6. And a bunch of other early cars...

That and the wind must not blow much there, otherwise it would be a field covered with ferrous oxide dust.
