Oh gees, where do I start to educate?

Ever hear of Chaparells beating the crap out of Porsches on their home turf at Nurbergring??? (Was there) And they had crappy Chevy engines... but I had a '56 Chevy Bel-air long before the '57 crap. I can still hear the hydrallics clacking...

The Austin-Healey 3000 was a death trap tho driving in Germany; only left the road 3 times in that. Farmer's fields make soft landings, thank God. Ever hear of OSI?

Ever hear of a Ford GT-40? A M6?

I'me a motor head

. If it was a production car I know it. If it was a race car (GT 40, Lola's, Alfa Rameo's,Chaparells) I probably knew it/knew of it. I am a Product of the fourties, grew up chasing muscle cars and sports cars in the sixties and spent a lot of time at Sears Point, Laguna Seca during those years watching the BMW's and Porsches do battle.

OSI (7 layer model?) is an interesting acronym (Open Systems Interconnection? ) was developed though ISO. In my former life I was an ISO auditor. Is this what your question is ? or are you naming a vehicle I have never heard of

OMG! A 914??? You actually bought that piece of ****? Guess you could not afford a 911 or even a 912... If you wanted a a VW, you shoulda' bought one

But then I bought a 1960 Ford Sunliner with 250,000 miles on it in Lawton, OK (Ft. Sill) for $75.00 but it got me to Chgo and Ft. Belvoir , to West Point and back to Chgo before I sold it for $150.00.

You shoulda' bought a 917 instead; yea, like I could afford one too...

But, welcome

You wouldn't beleive the cars I have owned. '57 Chevy 210 (my first), '61 corvett, "65 Mustang GT, '68 Corvett 350 HT, '69 Camaro SS 350, '74 914. The one I have kept is the most fun to drive.

912's has the same engine as my 914, 2.0. 911's are known as ASS DRAGGERS Because the trans-axle hangs out beyond the rear wheels where as the 914 has all it's components withinin all four wheel giving it a superior balanced platform. Go on to u-tube and watch the 914's with 4 cylinders out run the new 996 and 993 911 and everything else.

VW

? Call me anything you want, but don't mess with my car

.I don't think so

my 914 2.5 (not quite stock) can out run most of the the cars I owned in the past and put me on winding roads and all would be left to eat my dust and I still would get 30mpg's.

Nobody wants my car, Cadillac Eldorado. Maybe it's because it's not allowed here in Mexico, for a Mexican to drive or own. That's what i was told. Wish i could find a Mexican Auto repair specializing in Cads. (that knows what they are doing)

Been here, 1.6yrs, no club/alarm. But, my car does have the first year using the key alarm systems in Cads. Key needed to be in close proximity of start up.

The "close proxity key" seems to be a great deterrant and the fact that most stolen vehicles ( as I've been told ) are 4x4's and trucks. I'me sure there are NOT ANY PLACES that can work on my 914. Fortunately I am very knowlagable with 914's as I have owned mine since new, some 34 years. In fact I just finished a complete rebuild of my engine last month. This is my hobby car so body work and a repaint are next.

I have had the pleasure to play a round with Big Lou at Campestre and was wondering if there are any other golfers here that would be up to make a foresome for a mid-week round? What do you say Lou? Think we can put a game together???

Drinks in the clubhouse are riding on it...

What does a round of golf cost at the courses in the area? Not much info for this on Golf.
