"Does Brad have or drive a 914"? I have never seen a pic either just the silver wife's car.
Geoff

Brad has a silver wife? (ouch -- mueba.gif )

Bleyseng
Larissa's car.

#2. when is geoff going to get his adj. koni's? so i don't have to listen to him whine about how hard his ride is.

Bleyseng
Hey they are adjustable! Old school koni's where you take the damn shock out to "adjust" it. I am soo lazy the Kuhmo's were still on the car from the autox. I loaned a set of Boge gas shocks to Joe cuz he also needs a set of Koni's. His shocks were toast like Chris R MPS.
What I am really needing is the alignment shims!!! 4 4mm ones. I have got to get this POS car aligned soon. I guess I have to kick some ass when I come down next week for the swapmeet
Geoff
HA! I just passed Andy into third place again. mueba.gif

Oh, I know Larissa's silver car quite well. Actually, I shot that pic from the roof of my house.

Brad has a whole shop full of 914's. He has a full tube frame GT-2 car, a 914-6 that he is putting together, his wife's silver 914, a few customers 914 that are always around, and a bunch of parts. I am buying that 2.3L motor for my 912 from him.

Here is a pic of the tube frame GT-2.

The tubecar doesn't drive on the street! That doesn't count and the 914/6 blue car is Mueller's.

I would have thought the #1 Question would have been " Geoff where are the 914world.com stickers????"

beerchug.gif Geoff,

You may pass Jeroen soon, too! beerchug.gif
rhodyguy
craig, the stickers went in short order. believe me, you didn't have to ask.

Craig, Call Bruce Albert up, I send a few down with him. I was pretty well cleaned out of what I brought with everybody buying 'em including the 911 guys.
Geoff
boxstr
Hey 911 guys, I thought the 914 group would have first shot at those.
Bruce, If you are out there email me. I would like to get a sticker or two.Thanks
Maybe I will check ebay. laugh.gif

I sell the cars quickly. It wouldnt do any good to post what I own here...LOL

Geoff has seen "my" car.

I work on other peoples rides so much.. I dont have time for my own... nor the parking at the house.

And he never is lacking for a 914 to drive. How many of us 914 "owners" don't or can't drive their cars? biggrin.gif I'd say he's ahead of the game.
Brad Roberts
Jon just made me think (lookout)

I have been to all of the Roadglue events in a 914(except when Jenny wrecked her car this year). I made several SoCal events with a 914... I made the MUSR in TEXAS with a 914 (from SF). I do manage to find something to drive. Most of the time people ask me to drive their cars and tell them what is wrong with them. LOL

Bleyseng
So then you are in the "wannabe club" with Kevin,Jenny,DD,Korijo,Jeroen...damn big list.
Geoff
Brad Roberts
What makes you think I even want a 914 ??? LOL

B
Bleyseng
Why? I have seen your daily driver!! aktion035.gif
Brad Roberts
1.2 miles to shop from the house. Truck goes 2 weeks on a tank of gas even if I leave everyday for lunch.

I'll reveal my car (one day)


B
Bleyseng
Like I said, "wannabe club" member you and DD, Jenny, Kevin........
seanery
my 2 cents...

...having a 914 race car counts! tongue.gif
Bleyseng
When I was there last it wasn't running either.....
Geoff
seanery
HAHA....still counts though!!
Bleyseng
That's how you get in the "wanna be" club, by having a non-runner. Like Dave Darling, Jenny, Korijo, Kevin, the list goes on....
seanery
yeah, but are you really in that club if you DO have a runner (like me, or say, Brad (wife))?
Bleyseng
That's debatable, but I thought that it was Larissa's car.
Kevin has 3 cars all apart.
Jeroen has one car all apart
Jenny's is .....
Dave Darling's hasn't run is 3 years
Brad is getting the tube car running last he posted.
Being a wannabe isn't all bad, you save on gas cuz you have one less car to drive.

Geoff mueba.gif
Oh, BTW, I was one for over 2 years while my car sat in storage and got rusty.
Britain Smith
I wonder where I fit in...

I want to get a 914 to race.

I have a 912 that will soon get a type-IV motor.

Questions to ponder...

-Britain
seanery
I think Geoff forgot to add you to the list.... tongue.gif
Bleyseng
yup, tongue.gif
Bleyseng
Hey, Mueller just got off the list recently. He was a long timer too.
seanery
Isn't ginter on the list now?
rhodyguy
wrong again mr social co-ordinator. 4. a little more fuel for your tirades. wink.gif

kevin
Bleyseng
Oh Yeah, that other one hiding in the roadies, rusting away.. hehe

Yup, Ginters on the list too. Looks like he will be on it a long time too.
Geoff
rhodyguy
well that does it! no more posting for me. atleast until i get my engine compartment painted (the next hurdle). i'm just so... humiliated sad.gif

kevin
seanery
What did I read earlier about the "guy in the Jetta"..... wink.gif
seanery
Hey Geoff, our trivial nagging/bickering about wannabee's has pushed us into the #2 & #3 posters! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Hm. Does Ginter get points for reconstituting a /6 from a couple of door panels, some fuchs and a VIN? (yeh, I know -- it's orange, but still, you'd think he'd get *some* slack....:-)

Atleast something good is coming out of this nonsense plus maybe Kevin will go work on his car for once.
Geoff
Brad Roberts
Tube car runs great. We where waiting on the new TECIII to show up. Installed it... loaded the program from the TECII and it fired right off. The car was raced 2 weekends ago at Thunderhill.

Mueller is back on the list... no engine in his car.. however his 6 does run and drive. I drive it every day..LOL
Bleyseng
I guess that's one way to stay off the list, use other peoples cars!
We should have DD tow his car to the swap meet so we have something to work on all day.
Geoff

Hey Jamie Rust doe's that. Anxious to see what he has on his trailer when we show up at Keiths to christen his new lift.
