Full Version: I'm new!
I'm new to all this(not the car-the web site). I've been a Porsche-pusher since I bought the car, in March, '73, but I just found the web site yesterday. I can't belive the info that's on it! I'm going to have a lot of questions! Hope I can also contribute. Thx in advance

Hi new guy, if you look up im just above you. Come join me on the late drinking thread some night. 
Wow! Are you an original owner? After 35 years I bet you have a thing or two to contribute...

I'm sure there will be plenty of questions about your car from the historical society. Please add your VIN and chassis numbers to the database.
if you've come this far, then you're already screwed......
oh, and welcome! =)

I'd be glad to answer any questions--Who (or what) is the historical society?
Remember, I'm new to all this. (I've added VIN to data base.)
Historical society? Well that would be me in particular, and the gang that hang out on the Originality & History forum here.

"Old" - just about any original owner of a 914. Used in this group to separate the metal cutting fabricators from those who polish & maintain. Not meant to be a negative term.
Unless you bought your 914 when you were 16, you pretty much have to be in your 50's or 60's. I bought my 914 new in '72, when I was 25, so I fit into the latter group.
We do a lot of bantering in this group, so a thick hide doesn't hurt.
Welcome! Post a pic when you can.

I think 'old' is a relative term, sense most of my relatives are old, I guess I am too.

Thx Pat
Bought it new in March, 73. Almost bought a used '72, but ex father in law said "go for new". Best decision I ever made. A few years ago it was either wife and show dogs, or the car. I still have the car. 2nd best decision I ever made. Used to be active in PCA, went to several parades, but always got the feeling that they thought the 914 was kind of a "bastard son". Car hasn't been out much for several years, (I'm a construction supervisor for Habitat for Humanity, keeps me busy, building houses) but I'm trying to get it back on the road. Needs brake work. Eric Shea, can you help? If the weather ever warms up here in Iowa, I'll try to get some Pics. It's led a sheltered life, never seen snow.
More later. As I said the other day, I'm going to have lots of questions.
