I'm (fairly) new here. Me and the other newbies are just trying make sure 914World maintains its status as "the fastest growing online 914 community!"

Joined in April 2005 but still listed as a "newbie". I guess I don't post enough but very grateful for all the knowledge gained from everyone. I still lurk on a regular basis.

New blood helps to lift the hobby and spread the 914 gospel. Plus, new members allow all you (old fart*) experts have someone to laugh at while we familiarize ourselves with these machines.

From a 58 yo 'newbie'
New blood helps to lift the hobby and spread the 914 gospel. - YES and that's great!

Plus, new members allow all you (old fart*) experts have someone to laugh at while we familiarize ourselves with these machines. - Not exactly, give the Old Farts a new audience to appreciate their wisdom and priceless insights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In just the past month I have talked to several people locally who are either looking to buy a 914 or have recently bought a 914. Interest in these cars definitely is on the upswing. I always direct them to this site.

Only thing is... for every new 914 owner is there an equal number of "former" 914 owners? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Great question OP. Is there a correlation between 914 world membership and values of our 'precious'? Small sample, but I'd suggest yes. I like the way you think!

I joined this website last fall and I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate all the knowledge I have attained from reading old and new forums. My "project" is making progress thanks to this website. In fact I'm not sure I could have done much of it without the help of the 914 veterans sharing their knowledge. I just wish I could post pics using my iPad!!!

Ya'll are a great bunch. I've been a British car guy for years, but really like anything with a motor. These 914's aren't too difficult to sort out (so far!) and this forum is a huge help. Most of what I've done is undoing some questionable PO stuff and taking care of deferred maintenance. Of course I get "shipwright's" disease and start taking things apart and one thing leads to another. Thanks, guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Are all of us old farts here just old Fahrts ?
Or are all of these new guys trying to tell us that '74 is the new '14 ?
I do see many new faces around here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Use "add reply" instead of "fast reply" and then scroll down.
There is a place to add an attachment.

The picture must be on the iPad, then you search for it.
