Was driving my '73 today and came around a corner. A red 914 was coming around the same corner from the other direction. Don't think I have ever seen that car around here.

An older gentleman was driving the car. I had my window down and was going to ask a few questions about his car, but he seemed oblivious and drove off.

Anyone know who it is? The car looked to be in excellent condition. I think a '73 or '74.

Pacific Street, Oceanside, CA. 4:00 pm today.

When you mention old and oblivious, I immediately think of SLITS but he doesn't drive a red 914 so...

sb914? Could have been Eddy but he's only in his 50's, I think. Very shiny w/ nice chrome?

^^^ The car was very shiny. I couldn't see the motor size on the back, but I could see that the size designation was in black plastic letters. I was expecting him to stop, coming across another 914 in the afternoon on a coastal side street, but he vanished in a hurry.

I'd guess the guy driving it was in his 60s or 70s. White hair.

Not Eddy. Long brownish hair.

Not me

It could have been Forrest, but he is in his eighties.

Well, the driver could have been in his 80s, for sure. I only saw him briefly.

Who is Forrest? Does he live around here?

It wasn't Forrest, he lives in Laguna Beach and his car is disemboweled of it's power plant at the moment.

So, the mystery continues.

How about Robert21 Red 73 or 74 and has Revolution wheels from Elliot.

Is Robert21 an old geezer?

I think Robert21 sold his car. I know someone else has the wheels I sold him.

Mike, you met Forrest at the RT-66


Eddy (sb914) has your old wheels, Elliot.

Ah, yes, the name sounded familiar. Other than Gump, I don't know any other Forrests. Getting senile and geezerish myself, I guess.

The Mirrors on your car likely scared the guy off.

Wasn't Robert 21,he is not a geezer

Mick Fleetwood?

^^^ Yes, that's pretty much the look he had. Longish scraggly white hair.
.

Yes: I amy be in my eighties according to Larmo but at least I look twenty years younger......... and yes, my car is on jackstands at the moment but soon to be rolling again with a new powerplant, thru hood tank filler, new clutch cable, new all kinds of little rubber thingys.... etc.

Meanwhile Larmo's mill resides on its lonely four-wheel dolly in his underutilized garage next to his underutilized jack and stands......... Maybe when he get up around my age, things will start to happen at a pace commensurate with an 80 year old....

Sidebar: If Larmo posts a sorry picture of a horrible weld on a muffler pipe in retaliation for the salient facts noted above, it is probably photoshopped and a phony to cover up a perfectly welded and ground seam addresses the tailpipe exiting an updated rear valance.... evidence, yet again, of more productivity and creativity.....

I like where this thread is heading.

Let me see if I have this right. Larmo publicly states that you are an octogenarian and in retaliation you state that you look 20 years younger than he. How long have you two been feuding? Ya'll looked so close at WCR.

To be fair, I think I recall Larmo saying something like "Forrest is in pretty good shape for an old geezer" or some similar compliment.

Robert 21 or should I change to Robert 68 .. Sold Elliots wheels to a frend. Still have my car did not sell it. Click to view attachment

Pffft … that'll buff out

I sure know where to not go when I need the old screw holes welded up when I replace my mirrors.

Yes. If you are looking for a screw hole to fill, Larmo is your man!

Screw Hole? I thought you said Larmo was a Screw Ball?

Wasn't he the guy that cleaned up at the WCR raffle?? Besides that scammer on the crutches??

Was that raffle fixed?

Dang, I need to play the lottery in my lucky plaid shirt.

I was out in mine this morning doing a recce for the upcoming New Brunswick tour, I am oldish with grey hair, proud that I still have hair! I don't think it was me though as my car is kinda Orange looking but my sticker says it is red.

This shit is like missed connections on craigslist.

Is that you who I saw at the Ralphs supermarket yesterday? A quick glance and a shy smile as you were squeezing the Wonder Bread?
