914-6 hiding in neighbor's weedy barn yard, Well, I went to see it today. Options

I know I warned you about GPS tracking on pictures. I don't even know how to figure it out but I know it can be done.

Simple, any newer device that is GPS enabled, like your phone, will add GPS coordinates into the meta data that is stored within the image itself.

So if you share that image, anyone who knows what they're doing can look up the Latitude/Longitude of where the pic was taken.

Most phones allow you to turn off GPS tracking for the camera.

Or just buy a cheap used digi camera, you can pick them up now for like $20. No GPS.

I was also aware that you could turn it off, just don't how.

If your camera doesn't give you that option, you can always turn off GPS (Often called "Location"), before taking pictures.

At least on my phone, that prevents any GPS data from being added to the images.

Thanks for that info Andy, I did not know that and it may come in useful sometime! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Not me, I cannot even get a /4 cylinder car back on the road, can you imagine how much longer those extra 2 cylinders would add on to my project!

Mike,
I suspect a couple years after the twins are educated and married, you'll have a window of opportunity before little urchins start hanging at the house and calling you grandpa... Until then, you should forget about running cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Hold on, your name is Mueller and you have twins? That's funny, my last name is Mueller and I have twins (7.5 years old). This is probably why I don't own a 914 yet.

Yep, of course with these 2 I might have to sell the 914 to finance a better shotgun collection to scare off the boys!

You got a couple of real cuties there...I feel sorry for you, in a few years the teen boys will be sniffing around your house like coyotes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Quick tip from a dad that got her daughter through her teenage years without going to jail for manslaughter. If your daughter ever comes home with a kid you can't stand at first sight, go put your arm around him and say to her "Finally honey, a young man I really like and can talk with and get to know better". Trust me on this, if dad likes her boyfriend, she'll dump him by the end of the week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

well....look at the prices of some /6 parts....I say they are not done :-)
Those parts stacked up in there might be worth more then you might think...
Nice that you were able to take a look. Me myself..I would have taken a weed-packed-0914 picture for sure, that is more unique to post than a normal 914 pic in this case.....

I was reticent to take a picture because members in here mentioned that GPS data could be gleaned from a picture and I did not want to take any chance of causing a problem for this gentleman.

Pop a few pix next time so you at least have a few for yourself. I know I warned you about GPS tracking on pictures. I don't even know how to figure it out but I know it can be done.

Having been into VW's since I was a kid, and being a member of "Thesamba.com" I can tell you some of the "split bus" crowd would do anything to swoop a deal out from someone else. I'd like to think its not like that here but ya never know.

I'm predicting about 6 years from now you'll own it. Your wife sounds very understanding, better start wearing long pants though,..... You'll need the deeper pockets!

Hey Eric, I made a deal with my child bride of 39 years along time ago. I earn it, she spends it, working so far..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Hey! I didn't know that was negotiable. I just thought that's how it worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My dad taught me the EVERYTHING is negotiable. Just have to know the way in...

Or just take a screen grab of the picture and share that. Nothing gets shared then.

I'm sorry to disappoint, but I've seen enough, no reason to go back and bother the guy. If the opportunity should present somehow........

[TheCabinetmaker]

I get asked weekly if i want to sell my car. I always say no, but if i see enough cash i might think about it. Jus saying....

I've had my 914 for almost 20 years, clean yellow 76 driver. I get a lot of comments, "nice ride", "cool car", thumps up, but NEVER had anyone ask if I would sell it. Am I doing something wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Keep scrolling no picture ...I feel tired off to bed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

It's yellow, Curt's is red. Yellow might be faster but everyone loves a red 914.

there's always opportunity, as long as the seller or would be seller knows you're interested. If you've made that obvious, you,ve done all you can at the moment. time will tell....
