Hi to all of you,

Perhaps uncommon but I hereby would like to thank Bob aka Saigon 71 for what he did for me !!

Amazing that in this world there are still people trying to help other people !!! He doesn't know me, asked no money (although I offered some petrol/beer money) but he did a extensive PPI on a car for me. The detailed info, pictures and personal opinion he gave were very crucial to me.

And if buy or don't buy the car... that doesn't matter... Bob is a supermember (I know plenty others here )

Sorry for being mellow perhaps but I appreciate his efforts very much and just wanted to let you know that this platform is incredible.

greetings
Dax

btw I had another car inspected a while back and that member gave me the advise to walk away....afterwards I heard that he bought the car himself hahaha bummer

Dax, that’s very cool of you to give a shout out.
Bob is a terrific fellow. Glad he helped you out.
Good luck with your endeavors.

one of the guys who makes the World great.

No, you may not thank a member! We have to be as grumpy and ungrateful as possible!





.... just kidding ....

Channeling the Captain - who was actually a pretty good guy.

As said there are a lot of good guys here... in my soft moment I entirely forgot that also keith aka altitude411 did a great ppi for me... and no he is not the one who bought the car himself

Cheerio

I have had the same experience on here, people amaze me how they go out of their way to help, I have received items from some members for free,so often I see members offering parts for shipping only just to help others,by far the best forum I have been on.....and I have been on many trust me on that.

Bob is the man. He is by far my favorite member from Dillsburg, PA.

Seriously, he is a good dude, and not just because he let me use his bathroom at Hershey last year. Bob rocks

Yes, you may. As long as it's not Eric. Everyone hates Eric these days.

LOL Still not sure why.. IS it bad if I don't hate him? I feel like a non conformist

Aw, maaaan! Now we have to hate you too!!!

--DD

Bob is a good dude. Not surprised to hear this. I suppose theirs alway a few good ones in the bunch. He makes the rest of the group seem better. Hahaha

And Bob's yer uncle.

A seriously righteous dude...

Dax:

The PPI was paid forward by other 914world.com members.

Many members on 914world have been very kind and helpful to me during the four year restoration of my car. Some sent parts for the price of shipping and some wouldn't even accept money for shipping. Some of the parts even came from folks I had never met!

That seems to be the way things work here, so I was happy to give something back to 914world. Plus, I got to hang out with the seller and another Porsche guy (both very cool dudes) for a few hours and talk cars.

Not to mention the intense, hair raising test drive with the seller on the twisty back roads.

This place is great and many of the members here help keep the spirt of the 914 alive.
I'm really glad Andy has nurtured a community that is truly about enjoying thrse cars, and sharing the information we need to keep them on the road.

Bob is a great guy. I met him early this year when he hosted a BBQ at his house and coordinated a drive to Gettysburg and Air Cooled Racing before the Hershey Swap Swap. Very good guy!

I love boobs! Oh, wait, Bobs good too. Lots of good folks on here, even Eric.
