Some lowlife with lots of money placed the order and the thieves are filling the order.
Is there really a demand for Porsche's in Mexico? I would think someone probably wanted it for parts. It still sucks.

Convert the video to photos and post them here!

It's not much better here lately. My son left his lap top in my wifes truck the other night. He didn't lock it. It's gone. He found part of the optical mouse laying in the driveway. Were talking about putting up one of those infared cameras they use for shooting wild life at night. They have motion sensors and like one gig+ memory and can also take video.

Ya know,

Wouldn't surprise me if a certain jerk was involved. You know, a guy who caused you a lot of pain with a low number 914 6.

Lots of similarities if you think of it.. a car, a trailer, a 6 needing parts, ....

After his web site, I could believe anything of the guy.

Anybody seen if Wonder Weiner has dropped a 6 "parts car" off on the guys restoring his car?

Any recent drive bys of his palatial desert estate?

Any knowlege of where "that" car is? Might be worth a look nearby.

sorry to hear that Brad.

I was thinking about getting a trailer, and a friend recommmended I make the whole tongue unbolt and I thought that seemed a bit over-the-top. Not now... he is in trailer sales and apparently has heard a lot of stolen trailer stories.

Hope you are able to locate that stuff after reviewing video!

Holy *****storm, Batman!

Like the man said, Brad, you still have your friends. Just tricky knowing who's who, though.

Just think: based on the past year alone, if you believe in Karma; any minute know you'll start crapping diamonds and Eva Langouria will jello wrestle Anna Kournikova for the right to recreate Tommy Lee's house boat video with you.

If you need someone to buy you a beer, give a shout. Seriously, any time.

Please forgive me, I don't understand...

"Lost Birgit" in the same meaning as "Lost James"?

Thankfully not the same meaning of "lost" but painful none the less.

I read, but didn't see the color of the car. A quick desc of it and I am sure folks will keep an eye out for it.

"FS: 914-6, lost title, cheap" sort of ads.

The car was originally yellow. It has been repainted black. The yellow front bulkhead is visible through the bumper grilles. No foglights. I think yellow is visible through the cowl grille too.

14 in Fuchs

Black bumpers. The rear bumper is a -4 replacement.

Rust on the right front fender by the door / cowl junction

One headlight stuck in 1/2 up position

Thanks Mark, the yellow painted black is the big part. Someone might strip the car and try to sell it off as a 914-4 parts car. Anyone here will know right away if the VIN starts with a 914***** it's probably Brads lost car.

An Inconvenient Truth.....

It never ceases to amaze me..

You are all a bunch of lemmings willing to follow a convicted felon (Brad) right off the cliff! Every one of you need to take a good , honest look at Brad.

1) He was convicted of auto theft. If you try to bring up the plea bargin, remember, it was just a PLEA of "NO CONTEST". The court CONVICTED him of AUTO THEFT. The plea of "NO CONTEST" got him a lighter sentence.

2) He has been in violation of his parole multiple times. If you read his parole requirements, he is not supposed to possess or drive any car he does not own, unless it is in the course of his business. Now I know he WAS working on cars for a shop. But he is back in the IT field, so driving or having posession of someone else's 914 is a violation of his parole.

3) He repeatedly left the 914club with the attitude "I don't need a bunch of cheap @ssees calling me trying to get a discount on a 2 dollar part". He tries to delete all his past posts too. But when he comes back, everyone welcomes him with open arms and lets him start to run things again.

4) He repeatedly screws people out of their posessions. He stole the 914club.com name from Glen Stazak (Brad promised Glen that Glen would be part of the club, then after the domain name was registered by Brad, Glen was cut out completely). He sold parts from a 914/6 M471 car that he didn't own. He got investors to give him money to invest in SSI, then screwed them over when the deal fell through.

After all that, he still gets your loyalty.. you even gave money to get him out of jail. Would any of you have been so supportive if #4 had been Andy's car and Brad stole it?????


Brad.. my hat's off to you. You are a master con-man. You continue to maintain the image of a "great guy" while screwing over people.

To the rest of you sheep...... BAAAA........BAAAAAA..... Just ignore the fact that Brad just came up behind the sheep next to you and buggered it. Brad's a good guy, so it won't happen to you.....

OK, now you can start denouncing me as a 914 heritic and declare a "jihad" on me like you did the owner of #4.
