This is being discussed in the Sandbox but it should be out here in the garage...
JP Stein, one of the earliest members of any 914 internet list or site has passed away in his sleep... He was as crusty as Crusty and just like him, if he said it, it was 914 gospel. Many of you have seen the basics of JP's 914 as he owned Britain Smith's car before Britain Subie'd it. Of late, he was in to vintage Mustangs... I met JP when I bought a car in the PNW. I had studied the results from the autocrosses the car had been entered in. I said something to the effect that I thought the car would need some development since it was always a second or two behind similar 914's. JP said, "don't worry about it. I've seen your times and you're right with Steve (Nieslony) and the guy you're buying it from hasn't had the loud pedal near the floor yet." I liked him right from the start. You got no bullshit from JP. Absolute straight shooter. He was wrong though, on my best days, I was always a second or two off Steve. To JP Stein gentleman.

Wow is right.
Really sad news. I've known JP as long as I've been in the Oregon area...about 20 years. What a great guy. I actually drove his car at a few SCCA events before it became so wild and crazy until Britain's helm. If you needed any kind of help....JP was there to lend a hand, an ear...whatever. He had some very sound thoughts about Porsches and 914's especially. Many I remember to this day. A very generous soul that never put his medical issues into the limelight. He just accepted what he had and never burdened his friends with it. He will be missed. I'll be watching for a set of black streaks in the heavens for when he's putting the pedal to the metal. RIP JP.... |

This unbelievable and very hard to accept. Rest In Peace, my friend! I really will miss your great involvement in the 914 activities as well as your comments on the board threads.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That is terrible news. What a huge loss. I'll miss his wit and self-deprecating humor. One of a kind for sure. RIP JP.

Another loss to the community. He did some amazing mods to his 914 racer.
RIP JP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
