I was converting a bunch of very old slides to digital this morning (of course, the 914 is in most of them). When I looked at me 30+ years ago, I shivered. Because, though I was a cool sports car dude in the early 70's, it looks pretty stupid now. Who has the guts, besides me (& I won't go first!) to show then & now? I don't car if it was only 5 years ago....let's see it. I promise I'll be SECOND! If there are no posts ti this thread, I'll assume your all chickens..t, like me & will delete it.

thought it might be worth a laugh. I need a laugh, with oil all over the garage floor - at least I won't need to change it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Boy, has time flown! The bahiarot car is mine, during my autocross period. Those wheels, the splitter and H&H monster bar underneath are all ancient history. The splitter gave up it life to too many pylon hits. Man, it was so ugly ! I'll dig up something embarassing to send.

Who's the old fart with the chippy wife?

Nicer wheels - but the bilboard on the front bumper? What's with that?

Here is my picture from an SCCA Autocross in Wichita Falls, Tx. Circa 1986. I am leaning against Betty's 74 1.8 (Yes, the one she still owns and drives to work every day!) This was before we were married, and I had not bought my 914 at this time.

I was a lot skinnier and hairier then.


Here's me 3 years ago on the Bluebonnet run in Austin. Same guy, same 914.

Betty says I have changed a LOT more than the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I just moved this here with Pat's permission so more people would see it.


And in the process I am further embarrassing myself! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

1973 - my first concours win (PCA regional).

I was all of 26. Had my best polyester pants on & my famous aviator-style glasses (about 1/2 inch thick). Worked as a chemist for a division of Kodak. Man, would times change!
