Oh well. what’s a little more time. So, I wrote the adjuster, pointing out that mine was one of only 1,735 USA models of a production run of 3,351 914-6’s manufactured by Porsche (figures obtained from the Karl Ludvigsen’s book "Porsche -- Excellence Was Expected"). that the cars’ present value was at least double what I originally paid for it in 1970 (I am the the original owner), and enclosed some information that I had obtained from Dustin Janes as to how the use of Bondo devaluates our cars. and that I would accept nothing less than a new fender. If he had any questions, he could ask them in court. A day later he called me again and asked how to make out the check for $1300 which was acceptable to me.

A real fun Saturday was enjoyed by all when the Region had its Spring Swap Meet at Porschop on Saturday, March 9. Over 14 seller spaces were occupied and almost 200 people visited PorschopRaceshop during the afternoon. Jim Langenback of Raceshop gave a brief seminar on chassis set-up and how to improve your Porsche’s handling characteristics for time trialing and slaloms.

Some unique items were offered for sale, including 928 replica phones, a 914 bare-bones chassis and various assorted parts, high performance parts and doo-dads. Since many sellers and buyers alike left with happy looks on their faces, we judged the day a success. Honorable mention also goes to chefs Tom and Sandra Linton and John Fels for the excellent barbecued hot dogs and fixings. The refreshments

In January. Porscherama received an anonymous letter which was highly critical of Tom Marx’ article last fall about the Willow Springs time trial. I am advised that the letter contains some errors and seems to mis-interpret Tom’s article. We would have published it had the writer signed his name. However, the board felt it unfair to publish the letter with no signature. There are suspicions that it may have been written by someone with a personal grudge against Tom. We will generally publish letters and withhold the writers name if requested, but we will not publish, for legal and ethical reasons, letters which are unsigned. --Jon Schiewe. Editor
