It's time to pass on this hat to a suitable 914AXer.....free is a very gud price.

Some rules:
It can never be washed.....except on your haid in the rain.
It can be sprayed for cooties.....did I mentioned it's gnarly?
You gotta be a hardcore AXer......a resume would help.
The best line of BS gets the nod...NIP.....Proper deference to old farts is required. A long term comittment to this forum & to AX will be taken into consideration.

I'll be the judge but will take other's opinions into account..... if I feel like it.

Ooo Ooo!

If you give it to me, My fiancee can wear one as well as me at the wedding! Save money on a hairdresser!


(seriously though, mine is pretty sweat stained from use... so I would like to be considered )

As an aging old fart with a fondness for crusty caps and I NEVER wash them, it would be my honor to be the caretaker of the famous JP Stein Got Cones hat for the short duration of my stay on this planet.
It will cherish it, sweat in it, stain it and treat it with all the respect that is due to the crown of an old fart.
Given I am sliding into "old fart" territory, I think I am the perfect candidate and we should have some representation on the East Coast for the next journey of the hat.
At the end of my term, I will pick a up and coming old fart for the hat that is worthy of its distinct smell, patina, and faded glory.

Damn-it you Irrelevant Old Fart I know I was the first to PM you for that beautiful piece of 914 junk...errr membrobilia(I sure hope that I spelled that wrong!!).
I only have 2 1/2 years of AXing the teener but they include a local BSP title in year 1 and local SSM title in year 2. I believe I am currently at the top of the local SSM heap at least for the moment? You know the story at the National Level(LOL). At least I was faster that Shoe!! He had your favorite spot in Class.....Last. He is an Old Fart too!

Freakin Irrelevant Old Fart has to come up with some piece of crap essay for this thing. Jeez high school was 30 years ago, does that make me an Old Fart too. I sure hope so.

I'm not going to grovel yet?? And Andy, you already got one of them there caps. Tho the wedding idea is pretty kewl...

I gots something else that needs to go....all you need is a prominent exterior place to hang it. Again to be passed on when your shop/garage burns down or sumthin'. I'll need to charge shipping on this tho. This was given to me by a nice guy that made it....tho I fergit his name. It's made from about .100" steel plate. My shop no longer contains a 914. None of the hat bullshit applies but a 914 in your shop/garage is a requirement.....yeah, it can be on jackstands.Click to view attachment

It would work in my garage...since the car is there now

I slight rule change on the silhouette. It needs to go on the outside of your building where everyone can see it. Sorry Brit.

Happy to oblige on the sign.
I happen to have three , no four, 914's inside my shop now...

Rich

.......not over a tux....Andyrew
LOL LOL

Aw comon, it would look good!

My garage has 2 914's in it now! I'll get a pic to enter into the sign contest as well

The 914 silhouette would be a great companion to my house number prominently displayed at my front door.

I like it, I like it....

I'll have to let this run for a bit but tomorrow morning I'll call the rules committee together for a decision on both.

call to order,,,
brain....here
coffee....here
prostrate....here

OK, we have a quorum, lets start the meeting.
Today we will decide who to give some sh%$ to.

Prostrate.....I have a point of order,,,,I believe I am in charge of who and when we give sh$# to anyone...

Brain...I believe its up to me who we give sh#$ to and who we sh#$ on.

Coffee.....more coffee..

Lets adjorn this meeting till brain and coffee have had more time to confer and resume after a recess of approx 2 hours.

You know my credentials JP
AX for over 20 years now in 5 different 914s of my own and a few others including a chop top 914-6. that you might remember

I'm nearby, I have two 914's, I have a shop, I'm now an old fart (50+),
I'm nearby. Did I mention that I'm nearby?

The hat should go to some with an AX pedigree and I don't have the AX experience as others do.

But I do have a long, quiet history with 914's since I purchased my first one in high school sept. 1975. The sign would look great suspended from a support arm fabricated from old shift linkage and axle parts. It would be passed on upon my demise to another worthy 'teener.

Besides, I'll bribe you with babbles and shiny bits when it comes time to rebuild that 2.4 on the shelves of my shop.

OK, I guess that I fit the Old Fart, or is that Shart Club....
Well, I was skinny, with Dark hair when I started

Course, my hair is no longer dark, but at least I still have it...

OK already, the rules committee has spoken.....tho prostate (he's refereed to as asshole here) was hard to understand, he was the loudest & made threats.

Rich gets the silhouette to adorn his over packed shop.

72759.....whatever/whoever .....gets the hat for his miserable performance at the redneck NT in keeping with it's past performance.

I'll need PMs or emails (preferred) with shipping addys.

I hope this is resolved to most everyone's dissatisfaction.

Thank you.

PM has been sent.

The Barn will wear it with pride...considering who it came from.

Rich

Thank You Much, JP....
Will be worn with pride and never washed!!

PM sent....

Ken

Hi,
Did you change your mind?
I, being a fart that is getting older, forgot all about this...
Then I saw the hat in another thread and I remembered about the sign.

I am ok with whatever you deiceded.

Rich

Yeah well.....there's a lot of that old fart forgetfulness going around.
I'm heading ou for CA this week so that's out. Next week sometime...if I remember?
The hat went out.....50% ain't that bad......

lol...
no biggie, I just saw that hat in some other thread and it rang a bell....
