Hi All,

Well, old newbie, tough I'd do a intro. I see sigs of the old crowd and new members also.

So, sept 07, after buying a 95 cab taildragger off went the -6 conversion to Wobbletop in Ontario. Didn't take much time to figure out that I had the teener remorse, so, each year, each autumn, i'd contact Walter and inform him that I'd make an offer, if he would ever consider selling it. I did skip a couple of year heck i didn't want to be a PITA and stay on his good side and, have to confess several taildragger had me smiling big time (98 C2S with Supercups, 07 GT3). So fast forward sept 2020. All the planets aligned and a transaction was made. Now I know, if I at least had waited till next year, the gap would of been 14 years instead of 13 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So, Ursula is back with me, Can't wait to get it registred back in Quebec and take it out for a drive in the twisties!

I'll have questions for sure, be patient with me, 13 years with no 914 and learning back who is who, who is selling the cool 914 stuff will need a little research and yes, I know how to use that search button!

Cheers!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) or well should we say "Welcome Back" you left about the time i started hear and got my 914 shortly after that. many still here, some have left and some left for the great 914heaven in the sky unfortunately, many new and a good hand full of young guys getting into the frey!, maybe you could add a few links to old threads of your /6 conversion etc? I saw the post of the previous owner putting her on the trailer to send back too.
Huge changes and additions to what 914rubber is doing and making, and of course Bruce Stone for almost anything you need, and many more! Jerry/SPOKE doing awesome LED tail light and fog light conversions, oh so many fun things to see and do!!! Enjoy and welcome back.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Welcome back. Yeah, it's hard to turn your back on a 914 if you really enjoy driving a car. I have had several 911's and yet my car of choice is the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I figured out a long time ago that 914s are infested with tinworms. When you get bitten by a tinworm, you will forever want another 914. If you sell one, you will always look at other 914s with remorse and longing.

Look at some of the long term members here. Every one of us has had multiple tinworm bites, and we now have multiple 914s.

I am glad you finally got your 914 back. But now the PO will be looking for another one to replace it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Welcome back.

Well I've met Ursula in person a few times, even had my hands up her skirt at one of the Dr Evil's tranny clinics here at my house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Walter rebuilt the transmission around 2013-14.
In fact Ursula is the reason I have a 3.0/6 today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

If you're ever going to Toronto I'm 12km north of the 401 at Port Hope.

Sorry to hear Walter's out of the game.
