I got tired of being the only 914 guy I know and building the RS by myself.

Google did the rest.

Mid Nov. 2002 I was tired of the "other sites" I knew that the BBS software PP used was free.. so I downloaded a copy and installed it on my home server. I tested it with a few close friends.. it worked fine. I registered the domain names back several years ago and was trying to work with some others on building a site. It didnt pan out so I went out on my own. I knew I needed graphics people (Jeroen) and I knew I needed someone who knew "code" (Andy) Once the site was up and running.. people bailed from the other sites faster than people bailed from the sinking Titanic.

Here we are.

Lots planned for the future. Hang on for the ride.

Someone would probably be pleased to know that I had "Googled" (914) and got a hit for here ...

I love when things are named what they are ... 914 Club (and VIN mining). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

I was in a local Bug Shop looking for a set of Riv's for my second 914 after several years without one.

The guy hooked me up with McMark ( of burger fame ).

I passed on his Riv's, but he gave me a note with "914world.com" on it.

I showed up to the Parts Heaven Swap, and found the WCC 04 in action. I was floored by the cars and the people. Got to see number 4 and the Alien. I was in lurker mode for a while then finally decided to participate months later even though my two cars are on stands, with lack of funds and space.

Now I check the site about three times daily. When I was laid up in the hospital from Abdominal surgery for a week, the first site I visited when able to sit at the computer for 15 minutes was the club. No checking email, no checking for job interviews... but needed to get "back in touch".

The whole thing runs on Andy's servers and bandwidth (for now) We are currently looking to upgrade things in the very near future. This box was one of Andy's test boxes. It has several other "free" sites running on it. He has a business that runs on another server that pays for the bandwith in the same cage space.


I used to run sites hanging off of customers servers all the time.

I Dogpiled the old classifieds and found this site when it first started. It took me a couple of days to sign up and am glad I did.
Thanks to all who contribute and donate time, money and energy to this site. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

I was active on Roadglue and Rennlist. There was a little conversation about this site but I hadn't looked it up. Then John, the owner and gatekeeper on Rennlist took offense to something Brad posted on R'list and went completely, totally, and irresponsibly ballistic. Even though Brad's posts were typically Brad - a bit brash and cocky, in my opinion there was no way they warranted the harsh, over the top response that John laid on him. My interest in Rennlist ended at that point and this became my 914 site.

My therapist asked me to block that reason from memory banks on "why" I started this site. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

No. I dont have a therapist.. well at least not one that is acredited. Several people have "listened" to me over this last year.

I have absolutely NO recollection of how I found this web site. I'm just glad it's here.

If someone unloaded on me the way he did on you I'd want to block it out, also. Doubtful it would be successful.

Always wanted a 914. I grew up down the street from Vassek/Polak(Sp?) Porsche in the late '60's early '70's close to Rendondo Beach. I got involved with the "Club that does'nt exist" because I got lucky and "Googled" the esteemed 914 name. This place is sacred as far as I am concerned.

Thanks for all the effort people put into keeping the 914 badge alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
