Just watched the video, excellent! Not sure how the rest of you feel. I feel as though I bleed Porsche brand as mush as anyone, but actually care very little what others think about these cars we love! I have mine because I love it! Not to impress anyone. I would put most of us 914 guys against a lot of "Porsche " folks when it comes to passion, knowledge and love for the brand! I am not trying to knock anyone, just the same old stuff about not a true Porsche etc....ok, enough of my sermon.
Cheers to you Eric! You make us all proud to be part of this community! Keep up the great work! I am proud to have you wave the 914 banner!!!!! You are a great ambassador to car culture, the Porsche community, 914 owners, and of course 914 world!

Gotta love the head on shots of the car at speed.
Just looks so good from that aspect.
Great show and really shows how wrong they were about 914 all those years ago.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Long over due, and I don't know of a better car and person to carry the banner for the 914, than Sir Eric of Stoppage, and the screamin' yellow demon!

Just watched and congrats to Eric. He does as well on camera in the Leno show as he does in his brake re-build videos (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) which gave me the fortitude to do mine on the Hairy Ant Nest autocross car.

Oddly, I'm now deep into a '85 928S restore and did you notice the car in the Anatole Lapine still shot? The Shark...

Cheers gentlemen!

Congratulations Eric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
We are so proud of you and your beautiful tribute 914-6 GT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
When you opened up the rear trunk you displayed your 914-6 tool kit and the rear fog light made my heart go pitter-patter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)
Wow, what a wonderful presentation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
You made my bucket list of joy when we toured the tunnel of trees on M-119 during the Porsche parade 2013.. Wonderful memories. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Totally enjoyed every minute of the video!
Totally enjoyed every minute of the video again!!!
I am sending it to all the people I know who do not "get" what a 914-6 really is and having a ball doing it.
Great job Eric and nice looking/ sounding car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Think I may watch it again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

First of all, outstanding video. I've already watched it through several times, and like many other posters especially enjoyed the driving footage. It's very nice to see our 914s getting some top-shelf exposure. I'm also a huge fan of Eric/PMB, having used his services and spoken with him several times. Great guy, wealth of knowledge, and always friendly and helpful. A huge resource to our community.

I hesitate to post the following because I don't want to come across as either a jerk/wet-blanket or jerk/know-it-all, because I'm generally not and I certainly don't claim to be a 914 scholar. However, the disease that all of us here are afflicted with has provided me with a fair bit of 914 familiarity. So, does anyone else cringe when factual inaccuracies slip into an otherwise excellent production, especially coming from folks like Jay or Hans?

1) "The 916 came with a 2.4 "S" motor." Later 916s came with the 2.7 RS engine, so they came with either.

2) "It probably cost almost as much to make a 912 as it did a 911." Perhaps I'm splitting hairs on this one. While it's true the body shell cost would be the same, many of the mechanical components were different, most notably the engine. Although manufacturing cost differences might be narrower, the 911 was a significantly more expensive car to *buy*. Again, largely due to the engine. So it's misleading to suggest the 912 wasn't still a cheaper alternative to a 911 when it came to sales.

3) "All regular 914s came with 5-speeds". A small number (2, I think) of 914/6s were delivered with Sportomatics. Uncertain if any four bangers had the Sporto (shudder), beyond perhaps a prototype or test mule.

Go ahead and flame me for being a grumpy old nit-picker if you want. Overall, a great video. I just don't like to see untruths be perpetuated in a supposedly authoritative forum when a little editorial research would correct that. My .02 and I'm putting down the coffee, now.
