I guess I don't understand how the scoring goes, but you had 107 points and Manny Alban had 103. Doesn't that make you the winner?


me neither but if I'm reading right dbl d took model specific 107-102 shouldn't he have also taken overall 137 - 122?
great job either way trophies are for whiners


oh just noticed Alban's scores aren't in the list
was looking at blyholder's

Yup, I'm a long time 914 owner (73 2.0) and decided not to enter the 914 class because I figured Mr. Darling (who I believe won overall before) would enter it. Plus, last time I took the quiz on the left coast, I got creamed by a few smart 914 guys. Figured I had a better chance with the 964/993 class (I own a 90 911C2 also).

As for how the scoring goes, I have no idea. I think I was one of the first five people to finish....I was then out the door to have some coffee (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Nope. The totals shown are only for scoring the "classes". The overall victory uses a different weighting of answers.

For overall position, my score was (38*3 + 23) = 142.
Manny's overall score was (43*3 + 20) = 149.

I'm always stronger on the 914 questions than the general questions. I think my two overall wins were before they started weighting the general questions more for the overall standings.

manny no offense trophy comment was more of a dig at the state of youth sports than anything
just bought my first. 73 2.0 should be in transit soon
I'm sure I'll never know as much about these cars as you or dave but am glad to have access to learn from those with greater knowledge.
congrats on your win!

Oops. Yeah, that's 137 for my overall total.

Dave,
Question about #61, 1970 914 windshield wiper switch location. I had a '70 in 1975 and distinctly remember hitting the wiper switch with my knuckles while doing spirited driving. Previous owner had installed a Racemark steering wheel and I believe it was a little too close. The wiper switch was on the steering column. Did I have a late model '70 ? Maybe the PO had changed out the steering column?
Just curious,
Tom

The "brown" hoses in question 70 were actually red, and very obviously so. Another error that got by the folks who wrote the test.

IIRC, there were brown hoses and there were red hoses. But they didn't go to the same places.

Alan Caldwell wrote up a diagram for the 2.0 liter cars in an early-90s Panorama.

IIRC, and it's been a while, they arrived at the dealership with red, green, and black (well, grey) hoses. Oh, and blue for the brake fluid hoses.
