I was talking to my friend with a Triumph TR-6, and he mentioned that most of the Triumph owners he knew were British. I was just wondering if it was the same with the ol' Porsches.

So, how many of you are from the Fatherland?

Personally, I'm 1/4 German. All of my family sides were in America by 1912, but I still have my great-great-grandfather's Knight's Cross 2nd Class from the Austro-Prussian Wars.

My Grandparents (Dad's side) met on the boat coming here (both from Germany, but different cities) in 1923. My Mother's is half German, half mutt...so I guess I'm a 3/4 German Mutt

what can i say? born there and raised by wolves ...

The only German in me is under my fingernails.

Lets see, I've had a Triumph, love many cars from the area and not a bloody Brit. Not German yet I'm attracted to many German cars. Not Italian and love all things Italian. I like the old American cars before they killed off all of the personality and styling...

That it! there's my car connection. I'm part native American! The rest of me is French Canadian and Irish. Never owned a Camaro or Delorian.

I am Canadian... eh!

No German here. I come from Norway/Sweeden (sp?)!

I wish I had some German..

Andrew

Mother is german, father from USA, I was born in Germany...........guess that makes me half/half.

John

look at my name

I was drafted into the army in 1972 and spent 19 months in Germany. The cars, the Autobahn, you would have never known there was a fuel shortage. The 914 was relatively new and in great abundance there. I was a muscle car nut and don't recall even seeing a 914 before duty in Germany. I never forgot my first impressions of those cars and finally got my first 914 in 1979, a Ravenna green 2.0 with appearance group. It rusted away within three years.



The rig this past weekend at Mid-Ohio.

Grandparents on my fathers side were from Germany. Came here just after 1900. If I recall
correctly, they met after arriving in Milwaukee.
Huge German population there, which explains the beer and suasage.

I am a mix of German, Austrian and Serb. Guys who know me on this board know that makes me a crazy guy!

Heinz, that's a great looking car. Lets see some more pictures. I've got a set of 911 SC flares and front arches I was planning to graft in over the winter. I'd love to see some closer shots of yours (I assume that's what you're sporting). What tire sizes are you running?

-Ben M.

Plus the Black and Chrome looks BAD

My rears are SC but the fronts have nil. I was practicing with the hammer and dolly on the '75 Bucket-O-Rust, but a 'front fender transplant' might look cleaner.

Very nice car!!

mmmmmmm Let's see fathers name blose and mothers name frantz. I think that makes me german, grand parents, both sides are pa. dutch. AL

I'm a 3rd generation American.

The family name is Swedish, other than that I'm a mutt, and I think most blue bloods are imbread weenies, although I would have done Princess Di.

Not German, but I was born there. Weisbaden '69. My dad was in the Air Force and mom was a Army brat. She baby sat my dad's bosses kids. It's a great story! Can't wait to tell my grandkids.

Depending on the map and where the boarder is drawn (and which member of the family you ask) I am either all Dane or 50% Dane 50% German - which is weird because it's not like we just got here. The first generation here was my great great grand parents. Everyone in my immediate family has seemed to marry into the same ethnic group.

I wonder if I can play banjo..........

No Deutsch in mah blood but I do have a German name. Father was adopted Was married to a full German..... Man, could she cook!

.........b

Born and raised 20 miles from the Nuerburgring! Next month I will have been 20 years in California -

Almost half of 914 owners are Ausländer. Wonder if it's the same for other German cars?

Half Italian, half american. Technically speaking, I have like a quarter german, but that goes back a LONG way (1600s) so for the record, Im American.

I'm 100% Italian-American but was president of the German Club in H.S. Does that count?
And hey wait, we sided with you guys on the big one but had the good sense to give up early and get back to the pasta and meatballs and women.

French on paternal side (Normandy district),
English on maternal side (Yorkshire county).

But it's the person inside that counts...

I've got a German name, Ritter, but the ancestors were from Hungary. I'm pretty sure I've got some German blood because I'm pretty much an arrogant asshole.

Interesting, I didn't realize that 'Bruce' was German .....

If I'm to drive a car built in my homeland it would have to be a DeLorean. preferable with a flex capacitor!
with some Dexies Midnight Runners blaring from the 8 track player

Im 3rd generation German,our family name was Vonn Radder Kauf,Thank god my great grandparents shortened it to Rader

Grandparents on my Mother side were from England, moved to Canada.

Mother is from Canada eh?

Grandparents on Father side many many many years ago were from Germany

Father - Mutt

Meet my mother in Phoenix Az, yep I'm a Sundevil.

Moved to Indiana when I was 2yrs old.

So I guess that makes me a 1/8 German??

it seems to me that i'm the only real german here


greetings from berlin/germany


ciao benno

and here's the proof ->

Wow .... The Fatherland ...

nice pic, very Euro, oops! Glad you still like

us ugly American's (1/2 breeds)

peace

One grand-parent was Pennsylvania Dutch, so I'm 1/8 German. The rest of me is all from the UK.

I think I was a genetically engineered beer drinker!

1/2 Irish (Paternal side) (Hot-tempered Redhead)
1/2 German (Maternal side) (Bavarian Blond)

The only thing that keeps me out of brawls is that I'm a Lover not a Fighter!

But, after attending Washington State University a few years ago I know that that precious amber liquid is a staple in my Family Tree

Anywho! Cheers to all in the 914 Family!


Zaney

No German to speak of, all grandparents came from countries frequently overrun by the Germans

I do like German beer and cars, so it's possible grandma didn't tell grandpa the whole story.

2 of my cars were born in germany
one is just learning to walk and the other should be getting out of the hospital soon.
and i was also a foster parent for 4 other german borns. oh, and one swede.
