Hi everyone,

Murt here. I am a 914-holic. I tried to quit when I sold my last 914 (ironically) on Sept 14, 2002, just before this site started. It was a silver 73 - 1.7...a picture of which is attached (hopefully viewable). Sold to a gentleman in MA who promised to keep it garaged and maintain it. That 914 was the best of three I had owned over the last 25 years.

I've been poking around here on the site for the last few weeks getting homesick. Lots of names I see are familiar from the old "renagade" club days. DD, in particular has always been an inspiration with his wealth of knowledge and willingness to help. I strayed from my 914 obsession a year after buying a boat when the wife suggested I had too many toys and needed to unload one. I've been hanging out at Jeeps Unlimited.com for a few years (my tow vehicle is a '98 5.9 Grand Cherokee) - but its so refreshing to come here and read posts from intelligent writers. I really miss that.

I went through all the owners picture posts looking to see my ex-car, but apparently the new owner is not here. I still have a pair of SS headers in the shed - maybe I can start my next 914 from those. My real dream is a six - something I've wanted since I watched Bill Sherman do a total knockdown/rebuild on a yellow '71sixer here in NJ back in 1979. (He moved to the suburbs of Portland OR shortly after that and I think he still has it - you out there Bill?)

Anyway, It does my heart good to see all the support and products currently available for 914s - not to mention the great people on this board. Please forgive me for being an ex-914 owner. I truly do aspire to own another some day and in the meantime I'll live vicariuosly through your posts. Awesome website!

Welcome Murt!! You will not find a better site out there for 914 knowledge/help/guidance. This is, hands down the best place to be.

The best part:

New people post and they dont expect a response for a few days.. then they check their email (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I recall a day when we used to welcome all new comers?

Welcome back to the family. We all know you can't ever really kick the 914 habit once started so you are definitely in the right asylum! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
