How would a German refer to a 914?
Would it be the translation of 9. 1. 4. nuen eins vier or Would it be the translation of 9. 14. nuen vierzehn or Would it be something else all together? |

I heard something the other day about how the Germans are buying them back from California because the ones in Germany didn't make it, ie rust. |

QUOTE(ezbngreen914 @ Dec 19 2011, 07:39 PM) How would a German refer to a 914? Phonetically, it's "Folksvagen" ... When I was at the factory inquiring about the 931 (924 Turbo) - this was 1979 - they referred to that by its German number - "Neun Hundert Vier und Zwanzig " So I'd hafta guess internally, it's "Neun Hundert Vierzehn" |

You would say it as:
"Nine Fourteen(er)" = "Neun-Vierzehn(er)" As in: Mein Neun-Vierzehner Porsche ist sehr schnell! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I sold my 76 during the summer to a German. Its now in Germany. I called the car "her" at one point. He said the car was a "he" in Germany.....so I guess it had a change crossing the ocean

They call it the VOPO
That means "VOlkswagen-POrsche" but also "VOlks-POlizeï" that was the East Germany Police's nickname... |
