George, I too would like to welcome you to this board.
I'm also a previous customer. I'm certain you don't remember me, but my wife and I drove our '72 from Tampa to Atlanta one Saturday and arrived after hours. You graciously invited us in and checked out the car. You were shocked, after putting it up on the lift, that we had driven the car that far without it breaking in half, due to the rust. We left the car with you. You and your staff completely removed the rust in the long, battery area and firewall. You gave us a ride to the airport, then picked us up on our return. You did a great job on the rustoration, but unfortunately the car was involved in an accident (not my fault) that totaled it... Again, welcome to the maddness... -- Rob and Robin |

I certainly hope that the insurance company understood and paid off accordingly. One of our mechanics totaled his 914 several months ago, just a mediocre 914 and State Farm paid of 17,900. Gives one an idea that the insurance companies are now on the money with these valuable 914s! Hope you have a good replacement. |

Welcome George,
I built my first one with your catalog, prior to any 914.com anything (aside from your web site) I hope you are here to stay and I also hope you have had a chance to update your computers... We would all love to clean out your warehouse for you, just gotta know its really there... Take Andy up on his offer, if anyone deserves to drive that car, its Andy. As a matter of fact, I would be happy to do all the work, and still let Andy drive it. (while he is driving, ill go out to the junkyard and hunt) He has done so much for this community, yet gets little if any reward. Great to see you here, and please stay for the long haul, thick and thin. I know you have thick skin... Rich |

As you probably know I am from Connecticut so we yankees have tough skin and dry humor. We have so much 914 stuff here and I personally know the inventory so well that we have never taken an accurate inventory and would probably have a heart attack thinking about doing so!!!!!! (for example I have over 1000 new battery trays!) I am serious about getting the 916 running. It really needs some experienced with mechanical injection love, and we just do not have the time for it. I am looking down upon the roof of it through the glass (at least it looks shiny!) I drove the car up from Jacksonville when I first bought it, and it is quite different than any other 914 to drive in that the roof makes the chassis so stiff that it is like driving a mid engined coupe. No flex no groan no creak no double learch over the railroad track, nothing. Quite a car. Too bad no one thought so when it was made. |

Im happy to hop a plane and do it, provided we get Andy behind the wheel, maybe he can take it to next years PCA parade in San Diego...
Or whatever. I could come down every 6 months if you want to keep all 12 going. Rich |

QUOTE Very nice to hear from you again Mike! Thanks for all of the 914 contributions YOU have made over the years! Dr. 914, I have a quote, 914 related, " the mind is the 1st to go, when the 914 won't." It was my pleasure to contribute 914 knowledge when I had some I could recall to those who asked for it but now I am forever back into the beginner's seat. I got a wealth of info from those tip's you had in the catalog back when there was no Internet. It was a tool that stayed in my 914 24/7 and got dirty, hands on use. thanks again. To all others. The world is a circle, so sooner or later, you need to forget what's not really important anymore and enjoy new friendships a new day can prompt. Beep Beep. Mike |

Your catalog from the early 90's made my heart go pitter pat - the one w/something like 5 914's parked diagonally facing each other. Damn you George, Damn you to hell b/c I've been sucked into this madness since I was 15. I'm 31 now and still at it. Of course when I Damn you I'm really saying thanks and

WTF Did I just step into a space/time warp. All of a sudden everything is peaches and cream now that Sir George has arrived. Did everyone suddenly forget how many times his company screwed our members. George, you are a @*#:. I for one will never forget how rudely you personally treated me at your facility. Members beware.

T.C. your opinion is shared by a lot of people. You have a right to speak up, and you should. But let's keep the name calling out of it please.

T.C. Hi T.C. I do not what happened that time except that sometimes personalities clash. I personally am a very docile person who doesn't over react to anything or any one. I can see in you personal customer file with us, many many comments from different people here who have dealt with you. We try to keep good customer records here so we know how to treat different personality types, so if our treatment of you was not what you expected we apologize and will certainly make it up. We are all in this together and there is a way to work out any disagreement. We are not in the business to take advantage of anyone, and certainly if you feel that way please call and tell me how and why. |

McMark, I respect your opinion and I chose not to use profanity, even though in this case I came really close. The "man" has been around 914s for 30 years, but has always used his flunkies on the forum, probably due to his lack of business morality and now he has finally choosen to show himself. Well if that is the case, he better be wearing a suit of armor as alot more sharper arrows than mine should be flying.
