We all have a varitey of reasons for comming back (again and again).
How did you find this web site den of pain and pleasure the first time?

Brad asked me to help test the "beta" site before it went "live". Me, Kim, Jeroen, Andy, Brad, Sean (I think), Craig, I don't remember who else.

Many of days of frustration led me to do a google search and I found the club and what an experience it has been. I read through this forum at least four times a day and learn something new every day. Thanks for everyones help, you guys are awesome

...a pelican told me...

Brad asked me to come to the site.


Geoff

yahoo search.... found the old dgi site first tho

Someone mentioned it over on the bird.

I think they got banned!


Mike

when all left pp i followed the bread crumbs.

kevin

Recommended by the seller of the car.

He knew I would need a lot of help!

Yeh -- beta testers we were. We tried out silly posts, and I started dumb topics about me and my non running 914. Oh wait.... wonder if I'm still in test mode....

kim.

found it in the previous incarnation about a month before i hand my teener delivered from california to the rust coast.....

i have found out more information, met more cool folks and dumped more $ into the car thanks to this site. thanks all!!!!

me, a beta tester? nope.

Jeroen posted something on the 914 Rennlist that referrenced a thread here. I joined that day (or the next) and haven't looked back.

I can't remember....musta happend in the 60s.

WhaddooIknow? I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

brad asked me if he could host the bbs on my server (or did i offer it to him?).

funny thing is, i didn't even look at it until about a month later,
the rest is history ....



Andy

Met Brad @ Dunkel meet

I'm always looking at Car porn, but I think it was the Bird Board that lead to here. I read both boards. And the Lincoln board, and the Passat board, and the 911 board, I'd read the boxster board, but I can't cope with that stupid setup they have, I'd read the Cayanne board, but its going to need a couple years to mature.

I'd read the Ferrari boards, but I don't think I'll ever own one, so I don't bother.

I noticed the quality of the bird board dropped to near zero about a year ago. Than someone said something about where everyone was.

Paul

Asshole told me to come over....

I saw a link at the bird board when Brad was doing initial testing of the site, so I went there and asked a question. Brad told me to go away then, and I never thought about it afterwards.
A while later Paul Heery sent me a link to a topic here where Brad was claiming to be duplicating my header design at SSI. I came over ready for a fight.
I guess everything worked out for the best though.

I used to chat with the principals in the all914 chat room (per board days) and they mentioned it was up and running. So I stuck my head in, had a look and my addiction got worse.

One day I was looking a teeners for sale on eBay.
I saw a cool 914 Texas road sign in the background of one of the photos.
I wrote to the seller (boxstr) and asked if it was for sale also.
We exchanged a few e-mails and photos.
He was the one who gave me a link to this web site.
Craig Laughlin is the one to blame for me finding this place.

Rennlist

A customer of ours told us about this site. I am very glad I was able to become a member. I advertise the link on our evil-bay store homepage.

Dogpile
Dogpile Search

don't remember
sure glad i did though.

I was on Rennlist but saw that shiney spot on Watts' head over here.

I dont have a clue how I found this site. Ive been a Porsche owner for over 20 years, but just purchased my first 914 last year. and found this site somehow soon after!

This site rocks!!

lots of information, lots of laughs, and not full of condescending know it alls, LOL




cant wait till spring!

I came here from jail, on a work release program, they think I am making pottery.

PP

M

Brad pays me $20 a month to hang out here just like they pay the hot chicks to go to the clubs!

Actually, I got tired of 75% NPC elsewhere. If I don't want to play with NPC here, I can just skip it... If I am bored, I can always click on the NPC...

Rennlist Post

Someone asked "where everybody had gone". A reply came back "www.914world.com"

started surfing the bird when i bought boldylocks' beater last year - i saw something about dave's van there and wanted to donate. followed the paypal thingy and put in - then i wanted to know who the hell this "brad" was. so i called him at his shop and actually spoke to the MAN! (haven't washed that ear for a year)

he was all like talking wevo and 914/6 tubs over his shoulder and telling me to get on the board, etc.

haven't done a lick of work since then trying to keep up with the posts...

jbb

Where am I????

How time flys whenyou are having fun. I t seems like yesterday when I bought my car on ebay thinking that I could drive it for a while then sell it witth losing much money.HA HA

Bernie

Brad made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was still on Pelican, and content had slowed waaaaay down. Sent a PM to B-Hole regarding a FI question and he said the only way he would answer my question is if I came over here...

I literally stumbled onto it by accident right when the new site was getting started. I remember wondering what happened to Brad and a few other guys who used to answer a lot of questions on the PP Board. Sure has grown!

It was like the episode of Dallas when Bobby is in the shower and it was just a dream he had been dead !
I just showed up at the Alki breakfast in Seattle and Geoff was giving out 914club stickers and I said "it that a web address", the rest is history. Pelican is on the endangered species list and 914club is a Lemming.

have to watch the Animal planet channel now
Chow

Chris Reale kicked my ass over...

Oh, now I remember. I saw the 914.com stickers on my rocker pannels.

-Yawn-

I was lying before.. while looking for www.915club.com, I missed the 5.


M

What got me here orginally was the old board.And someone on the bird, but really what sold me was the two posts I did for the Mid West 914 Classic ,(2003) P.Parts post 100. hits , same one on here 200+ hits. Kind of a no brainer!!!! This site Rocks. And I need my fix at least twice a day now. Even the wife ask who posted what today. The day we were offline for repairs or whatever. I had withdrawal
systems. I'm hooked. Dave

Heard Brad bolted from PP to focus on this site and curiousity did the rest.

Visit both regularly, since there really aren't any other good 914-related sites.

Yea, and my foot still hurts.

Dunno... somehow Brad sweet talked me into it

cheers,

Jeroen

I`ve been lurking on all the sites for over six years(when I picked up the first `teener) Can`t remember how I got to this one,probably a link from P.P. Still look there but I come to this one first!! Great place to be when I have the time.

I have no idea...I was one of the "early" guys I guess.

Brad gave me the link a couple days before the site went "public". I vaguely rememeber trying to break it, but I'm not as good at it as most of the computer gurus here...

I think everyone kept a watchful eye/ear after B's bout over at Rennlist. "F*ck this, I'm taking my toys and going somewhere else to play."

Jen

B's bout on Rennlist was funny! still don't understand what it was all about.....

I was member # 24 so I guess it was still in the try and break it mode....
