haha, not bad alfred ...
i'll do a complete translation later, but one thing is very interesting:
the guy (H. v. Hanstein) was hired (as a contractor) by Porsche as the head of public relations/advertising for the newly founded "VW-Porsche" company. he sais that he never really liked the 914, that he's a 356 and 911 guy and that the introduction of the 914 (a porsche for the masses) made the name Porsche available to people of lesser status (he actually mentions Pimps!). he complains about the people (customers) he had to deal with and how he misses the "elite" clientel of the 356 and 911 years.
hmmmm, could that be (him in control of advertising etc.) be the reason why the 914 never sold well in germany?
later, Andy
