Hay Eric. It's a close race. Just as promised when we talked on the phone. I'll ge my vote in as soon as the new calipers get here.

Lil Erc is just torquing the fasteners.

I placed my vote for the 914 with my old tow hook! You know who you are. Badm.

Still need to get us and the cars together at some point.

I had to vote for Eric's ride. That is how I want my teener to end up when I get done "fixing" it. Only mine will be blue, and cooler,,,,and faster,,,,,,,,,and prettier,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and mine.

Photoshop seem to be popular around here so these are a few that I've received from my track photographer.

Have to say I really like Chris' car without the headlight covers. I can't put my finger on it, but I always liked the way 914s look without their headlight covers—to the point I left mine off during reassembly for a long time.

The problem, of course, you can't run without them. Until I saw your car. Very cool.

You can't do this on a car with headlights but I actually used my aluminum headlight covers with integral eyebrows in a revised location.

Who was the runner up? I would be able to tell if I voted, which I didnt, and if I vote now you have threatened to ban me

As my Grandmother says, "oh for goodness sake..."

Eric has exactly 1.875mm of expansion space left before his already outsized head explodes.

EVERYBODY DUCK!




Congrats, Eric! Well deserved. Car is superb.

Congratulations Eric!
A well deserved victory.

Racer Chris was a Solid 2nd

now that this is over....


I really liked the idea earlier of having a seperate catagory for race cars and show cars.......

maybe they alternate or different catagories on different months?

Does that mean one of you guys will be stepping up to take over the COTM?

I would vote again just to get banned TC, but it won't let me as I already have voted.

Congrads Eric!

Busy day trying to get ready for the end of the month...

Thank you 914World. I've said it before, I doubt if any or many could ever do a project like this without 914World or the people here.

COTM really is an honor and and a privilege. Congrats to everyone who was nominated. It was a diverse field with a bunch of really cool 914's.

We'll be bring the car to Hershey and hope to see as many "Right" coasters as possible in a couple of weeks. Then it's off to Traverse City in June. I've entered the car in the "Modified - Touring" class so, come on out and cheer us on and yes... The car will be driven after that. No, really... Driven as in, I'm a tour guide again for a couple (or more) tours at Parade this year. You'll see a little yellow 914 romping around the Northern Michigan countryside with a bunch of Porsche's in tow.

Thanks again everyone. Hope to see you soon.

Unicorn High School ReUnion?

Hey Eric, Congratulations on COTM!

I tried to get into a couple of those tours in Traverse City and they were all full. Any chance I can unofficially tag along???

Hey Ross,

Keep checking back because, they will add tours as they fill up. Also, get your name on a list as some will drop out and you can get on board that way.

If that doesn't work, we can put our own 914 tour together and hit some similar sights. Bliz can help guide us to some awesome sights up there as well.

I know the way to the "Winery" and the new "Brewery" in Petoskey

Congratulations E,
I knew when I saw this thing up on jack stands dressed all in yellow that it would be exceptional when it was finished. I was not wrong!

Whineries are right up Erics alley

I think there should be a seperate catagory for black cars with removable fiberglass fenders. How about a seperate catagory for cars that have cute names? Or how about seperating the year models? Best '71. Best '72 etc. Most definately different catagories for sixes and fours. Original sixes and converted sixes. january, best white car. February, best green car etc. etc.

Very good points. I believe that a 914/6 GT, whether an original, a "tribute" or "clone", or a reasonable facsimile will have a "wow" factor advantage over both a stock /6 or a stock /4.

How about the voting for the COTM be confined to nominations each month comprised of only GT-look cars, or stock, or nearly stock /6s, or stock, or nearly stock /4s, or cars that could be catagorized as "resto-mods" (customs, engine transplants, i.e. Subies, etc., race cars)?

Keeping the 914 COTM voting limited to similar cars seems to be a more fair way of selecting a worthwhile and deserving nominee.

You know, I am starting to think Eric might be kinda cool.
