I'm assuming most of us have seen this photo Magnus posted? I know many don't care for him, especially after what happened in MN but still, it's 914 related!

"So it's official- I have caught a Dose of 914 fever , apparently it's a double dose - Stay tuned to see how it goes #porsche #midengine"

Two 914 projects, should be interesting for sure! Do either of these look familiar, did he buy one or both from a world member?

I don't particularly care for the guy, or his hashtagging everything. But I was sorry to hear about him losing his wife several months ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I think its a good thing. He may bring some fresh ideas to the table.

One thing for certain...... If you have a solid car be prepared for an increase in value (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Caught this as well on the 'gram this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Let's see what he does with them . His last build was a 964 which he claims was his most "Intense" build to date. Keep in mind that he hires drivtrain, body, interior+exterior subcontractors to get it all "Intensely" done. He sure has his work cut out for himself ; topping some of the cars I've come to know here in the last decade (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, it's sad to hear when anyone loses the love of their life.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) The guy is a expert at self promotion. He tinkers and looks unique for a "Porsche" person, so people dig him. I get it, I'm cool with it. But like you said, the bar has already been set, and if he can build something half as nice as Eric's car, he'll get a pat on the back.

He has the vision, he hires the people that can make his vision a reality. I think the "intense" part of it was getting it completed on time, lol.

I'd like to see period-correct 1970s details in his custom 914 - velour, disco balls, shag carpet, the works! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The first time I met him was 6 years ago when he wanted to buy my 77 with a short stroke 3.2. Over the years, he made a name for himself. The only thing that I think he should grow up and stop racing around the public roads. If anything happens, someone is going to get injured and most of his efforts / financial will go to the injured person. He simply needs to keep it on the track, plus not to glorify his behavior.

If he has "The Fever", that will create more 914 attention. Adding that to Amelia Island and the recent Panorama articles, will create more overall respect in the Porsche Community.

I am guessing he will do a nice high reving short stroke 2.2 or 2.4. Like him or hate him, it will be interesting.

I will reserve my opinion till I hear his 914 comments and driving impressions!

I can now safely order an Urban Outlaw sticker from him... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

A lot has been said already, but I think the 914 was standing in line for its moments of glory on the Porsche stage. From here on, prices will rise and rise, being the lastaffordable vintage Porsche.
