I'd like to do some special 914 research in France, but my french knowledge is very poor. So I wonder if anybody around here is from France and would be willing to help me

I tried to contact the "Club VW-PORSCHE 914 FRANCE" long time ago, unfortunately no answer

I have a French friend who likes to cruz this site and we are still looking for a 914 for him.
What do you need??

Is that a French girl in your avatar Mikey??

If he's looking for a teener, does he know the Club VW-PORSCHE 914 FRANCE ? I think they could help him?

My question is, if he could help finding pictures from the "Salon d'Automobiles de Paris" from Septembre 1973 - especially from the Karman pavilion
Karmann displayed the '74 LE cars there - and I heared a rumor that there were 3 different versions ...
So, if this would be true and there are pics from them ... you know what I mean ?

He lives up the street from me not in France where he was a chef (dude can cook!)

I'll ask

Geoff

this?

awesome photo, but, despite the date, that would appear to be im Deutschland.


DIG THOSE FANCY PAINT JOBS!!!!

How about this?

914 garage

Aw Man that is my BMW 3.0 CSi... man I miss that car

My brother is living in france now. If you need something translated or sent within the country he may be able to help. He has no car though, so traveling is tough, and no computer, so communication is tough. I hear he just got running water in his apartment though (joke ).

many thanks - I've got a friend who knows french very well

I was more thinking of a french guy, living in France, being familiar with the 914 and all those methods helpful for data-research in his country - and knowing english, for easier communication
I do know that this person is difficult to find - but it's worth a try - at least in this place ...

there was a guy from france on the board long ago who bought that interesting red 914-6. I don't remember the whole story but I think it had some orig GT parts on it. cannot remember his username though!

Thanks for posting this Wolfgang!

They all surrendered.....

I resemble that remark !

I know a guy who speaks pretty good French too . . . me ! I'm not French in the nationality sense, but I did'nt speak any English either until 10 years after I learned French. If you need a few things translated, I'll be happy to help.

"menottes"

Also used when speaking to a youg chiled to mean, simply, "Hands"

Merci beaucoup Michel,
mais je ne cherche pas un traducteur. Je cherche une personne, qui sait comment on vient en France à des informations certaines ...


o.k., I guess my french must sound horrable to you, but it's about 12 years ago that I learned a little ...

Gustl,

Your French is great ! Sorry I can't be of more help, let us know what you find.
