You guys are all so wonderfully sweet! wub.gif And, yeah, you bet your butt there are TONS of stories (he's up to 411,000 miles now). driving-girl.gif driving.gif screwy.gif headbang.gif smilie_pokal.gif aktion035.gif new_shocked.gif headbang.gif WTF.gif smash.gif welder.gif sawzall-smiley.gif ar15.gif headbang.gif smlove2.gif


Keeping it all in the mid-engine family - I third, or fourth (or whatever number we're up to) the Fiat X-19!

But wait... no love for the Toyota MR2? I got my butt kicked regularly by one of those back in my SCCA autocross days (although we found out years later he had to cheat to beat me). biggrin.gif

Or there's always Son Of 914 - the Porsche Boxster (I know a bunch of you have one of those)?

Perhaps the Delorean? A niece and nephew (it's her car, not his) have one. Unfortunately it's not optioned like the one in the picture below. lol-2.gif

And we can't forget Grandson Of 914 - the Porsche Cayman (I know some of you have one tucked away in the garage)!

But my ultimate choice - as a good and proper 'Runner-Up and Honorable Mention' to a 914 of your choosing for COTM honors is........... <fanfare that sounds a lot like horns beeping like a crowd of cars applauding in one of the 'Cars' movies>...........


The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO which sold for $48.4 million dollars last year!

How freaking incredibly awesome would it be for the Premier 914 Website In The World to give second place - also known as First Loser lol-2.gif - in their 914 Car Of The Month, year, millenium (whatever gets decided) to a '62 Ferrari GTO - one of the most expensive cars ever?!?! happy11.gif


That would seriously have to be a poster (like a 'Motor Trend - Import Car Of The Year cover or something like that) with a small picture of the runner-up in the bottom corner! I'd buy multiples... just so I could have one hanging in every single room of the house. av-943.gif



That's a fun idea Betty. If your car has 400k in stock format....you should "win".

For fun sake, why not have any member(s) other mid engine p cars or other mid engine cars of any maker post their cars for consideration?


I'd nomiate John Petersons 09 987.2 Cayman with sport chrono and red interior...I think he sold it though....ultimately I think will become the best year of the Cayman ever built.

Post a pic of the Delorean. That'd be cool. Way ahead of its time.

Here's my 06 CS 987.1

I'm looking for another air-cooled p car but this time a six.

Betty's car is a beautiful car with great stories! The owner(s) are the such passionate 914 people and always help everyone. I've lost track of the 2nds, 3rds or what ever direction this thread has taken now but this car certainly deserves to represent the 914World community as the Car of the Month.

I would like to nominate my wife's 914.
1974 Phoenix red - 410,000 miles and a daily driver with working AC.

It is a beloved part of our family and as long as I can hold a wrench I will keep it running.

Fixed it for you....

I run the car of the month for the BMW E30 forum, R3vlimited, and its quite a bit of work to have a new one ready each month...

My suggestion is to have a build thread and whoever is running the Car of the Month to have a few people "prepping" as the deadlines tend to come quickly...

It would be a huge project, and making it a public event allows for people to join in the fun and build the final presentation.

If Betty has 410K on a daily driven 914 with AC, it isn’t COTM she deserves, one of those P magazines should be calling! Wow! biggrin.gif

She does. And I have been wrenching on it every step of the way. And the P magazines never call. confused24.gif Betty is fairly low keyed about it. The only interview we had was in Maverick Region slipstream.

Look at "Coffee, Cars, and Conversation" on page 20.

This 914 had a great story, but now we will never know.

Betty's. That is what these cars are for, DRIVING.

I love this site, check it most every day for entertainment. But can't we get a new pic every month? Don't have to get all fancy with the description and graphics, just a pic...
