I lost a very good friend and the World lost a HUGE 914 enthusiast.

I want to thank all the members from here who helped his last days enjoyable with your notes & pictures, it really meant a lot to him.. So, those of you who drink, a bit after 9, pour yourself a Scotch, neat and toast our 914 Brothers who have left us..

Wow. has it been five years? It doesn't seem so. Wished I could have met him in person.

The fact that Byron was friends with Phil makes him tolerable

oops, I'm an hour early on the toast. But will just do it again in an hour.

Never met the man, but I know the name.

(scotch)

I read this just in time!! I have a neat mossy shot warming me as i type..

If it's ok, may I ask who this is?

No Scotch here, but I'll see what I have.

You might say he is to blame for really lighting the 914 fire under me, I was already a Porsche guy, had a nice, newer one and Phil (whom I had only met once before) pulls into my drive way while I was playing with one of my cars & asked me..


He was driving his black 74 2.0 with a custom RPM built 2.1 Twin Plug 180 HP engine, lowered, 195/50/15 Yoko 008s (those were the tire at that time) and it was fast.. We going driving down the road & he was telling me how it seems every MR2 wants to race him, and sure enough, a few minutes later, at a stop light, a teal MR2 pulls next to us, reving the engine.. Phil looks at me and says Well, the light changed I dumped the clutch & we smoked that MR2... We really did have some great times and I really do miss him..



No problem, this link should answer that question..

Thanks again guys..

Raising a nice big glass right now.

I love the story about the mR2...

Thanks Speed, I just went through the old link, still brings a tear to me eye..

Sorry about the loss of your friend. Did not know him, but here's to Phil!
