In the other pics the rear is lower.. it looks veeeeerrrrrryyy good.

Hi Geoff,
Seems like you've been to delft recently, judging by the sheets around the tower. Did you stay in a hotel in Delft? Cuz I do not only study here but also work in a Hotel, hotel Johannes Vermeer.
And no, that's (unfortunately) not my other car.
I do have another 914 though and a beetle okay, the 914's belong to my dad, but the beetle is mine

And Yes Jeroen, it was about time hope to come around here a lot.

greets
Jacco

I was there in November last year and did stop by the Hotel to look see. We ate pannekoeken at a the local hot spot.

What happened in the big fire I heard about in Delft??

We stayed in Amsterdam for almost 4 weeks, so we drove to Delft for a day trip.
Monique, my girlfriend is a Surinamer..and has tons of relatives in Holland as Jeroen found out!


Geoff

Hey Jacco,

This is the 914 place to be!
And a big plus... you can say what ever you want here.
You can insult as many people as you like and no-one will think less of you
Bottom line... everyone is an asshole here
Sounds refreshing, ey?

On top of that, there's no other place on this planet where you will find as much 914 info.

What else can you want

Stick around and you'll very soon find out that THIS is what a club is supposed to be...

cheers,

Jeroen

Here's a shot of mine. Had it about 3 years and still needs alot of work.

Slapshot.. Sweet ride. I love black 914s...

Heej Geoff,

that fire was actually near that church, a little to the right just outside the picture. A sportswear shop burnt to the ground, not a real historical building, nobody got hurt but it was a big fire thats true! (see the picture, yes its off topic I know)

Jeroen, I already feel at home here, it feels much better over here than at the other "club"

cheers!

Jacco de Haan

Slapshot!
Kick ass, thats the cool thing about Black 914's...
They have Body-Color rockers and bumpers from the factory!!
Bob O

not /6's or other Appearance Group cars ...
(picky, picky, picky ...)

Hi Jacco,
Wat leuk dat je de 914 site heb gevonden. Jouw auto is te gek, dezelfde kleur als de onze!! We waren in october in Nederland.
Geoff wil wat frietesauce voor pindakaas ruilen!! ( Amerikaanse) Wat denk je??
Monique

I need one of those Monty Python translation books.

And a beer.

Monique was asking if Jacco will trade peanutbutter for the french fry mayo.

Even I can read that!

Geoff

J. do you ever do anything with the Funlovin Flat Fours VW club? Coxy appears here every once in awhile. He has 2 914's & a bunch of VeeDubs.

........b

Here I am at Bremerton Raceway last Memorial day... Then I just heard a "pop"

Brad Roberts,

No that was not us. The M471 option 914-6 in the KC area was a friend of ours. The car was silver and had the flares and all. It was supposed to be original but these days one never knows.... The owner believed it was original so I guess that was good enough for me. It went for a lot of money.

That owner, Doug M, is a member of KCPCA and does club racing / Drivers Ed. events. He is a fellow instructor and a good guy. He is more into 911's though. He races a white one with black "dalmation" spots on it.

Our flared 914-6 is a conversion from a 1974 2.0 it has been a track only car for the last 16 years.

Thanks John. His car was actually one of the last 4 M471's sold in the USA. It was one of the last 2 silver cars to be sold from the Art Bunker dealership in KC. I know where the other car is.

Brad,

I just read the rest of your post and no, I have never considered putting a v8 in a 914. The poor little trans would never hold up under hard use. Heck, we have broken the teeth off of about five (5) fourth (4th) gear sets in 901 boxes in the race car with our 3.2L engine. Never any other gears, just fourth......

More Broken 4th gear

Last Broken 4th

Our fix....

915/916 transmission

Heej Monique and Geoff,

I'm affraid I'm not that much of a peanutbutter man... but I've been to the states for a while and I must say I really liked those little sweets, tomales or something like that so who knows maybe we can make a deal

And for the vintage 914 photo lovers I've added a picture of my dad and his 914 when he was about my age.... unfortunately this 914 is not in our possesion anymore. But rumour is out that it's still on the street. At least the licenseplate number is still in existance.
it's a 70 or 71 1.7 with US style rear lenses
enjoy!

Wow i just looked through all of the 57 pages of this post, wow.... im exhausted. i 'll post a pic as soon as i get a car.


peace out.

I have looked at all 57 pages too but over this effin year not in one day!!!!

Geoff

(still trying to get hooked up on some mayo from Holland!)

crappy pic but i got it today and im proud, i'll post some better ones tomorrow, that is how it looked when i got it.. the tire is low but i let air out to get her up the drive.

Freedom,

What is that white stuff on the ground? I havn't been able to identify that.
Nice green color and with the Rivera Mags. Looks good so far.

that my friend is the ice, sand and gravel on the driveway.

Isn't that what happens to water when it is very cold?

Burrrrr. My 914's don't like the cold any more. They stay snug and warm inside nowdays. I'm still waiting on some rain to help wash the salt off the roads so I can bring mine out to play. (It may happen this weekend {the rain that is}).

interior

front.

back

interior again

very nice!!!

Looks real nice. I like the color. A new 914 carpet kit would do a lot for the interior. Are the seats leather?

the seats are a vinyl. i need to re-do them or put better seats in, they are un-comfortable

I got yer drivers side door pocket if yours is MIA.
$10. In good shape.
I LIKE THE GREEN CARPET!!
Get some plaid seats too and grow an AFRO!
Bob O

Here's my 74 1.8. I isn't too bad (on the outside atleast).

Here she is!
Sherry

Here is the inside, I dont like the wood much so I am going to go back to black. They did a great job on the leather seats though.

nice!


Geoff

Drool...

Jen

Hey Jenny, some people actually have nice paint jobs on their cars!

Keep the wood.
It saves you from the unremitting black of the 914 experience.....uh, interior.

very nice!! impressively clean! I like the wood! you should keep it!

If I had a car as a girlfriend that is what I would want her to look like
Sexy beast she is!!!!!

If I had a car as a girlfriend that is what I would want her to look like
Sexy beast she is!!!!!

Nothing like having an affair with a she car, but I just can't get into "he" cars and trucks. It is almost my husbands dream, but I am only driving her!

Sherry

See, they do look better at night! I told my wife they followed me home. So did the other truck full of used parts!

Here's our 914... Still has a lot to be done to it...


Btw...this is a first post, but have been reading for a while!

Love the car!!

Welcome,
Sherry

Welcome to the club Curt!
Nice Ride!
