I was just leaving my girlfriend's place last night and when I got outside, there it was. It was like a dream or something because I never thought I would see one in the winter, especially parked across the street from where I parked mine on my visits in the summer.

It was a white 914 2.0l.

That made a very good ending to the day. I rarely see any teeners in the summer, nevermind in the winter with quite a bit of snow on the ground!

I only had my cell camera the other night so the pictures aren't very good.

My father saw this car last summer and snapped some pictures for me. I'm pretty sure it was the same one because of the missing bumper strip.

It would be great if the owner hangs out here.

Holy, shit.....guy must be freezing in it. What a shame....the salt will ruin it in no time.

On a side note my 914 came with snow chains and an pluggin oil pan heater.

Early April I hope. It depends how fast the snow melts and dries up. Last year it was late April I believe.

I can't wait! IPB Image

I know a guy in Saskatoon that is a big 914 nut. I bought a few parts from him. He was building a perfect 914 from a perfect tub. He was collecting pieces last time I talked to him, but that was a couple of summers ago. He's the only other guy I know in Saskatoon.

Rage, you should come down to Regina some time this summer. There are a couple of 914 owners in the area. I'm hoping to plan a fun run around the lakes in the Qu'Appelle valley sometime this summer. I'll let you know.

Yeah I have a 914 friend in Saskatoon who knows that same guy I think.

I'll probably make a trip down to Regina this summer. I will let you know if I do.

When I get the teener out this spring I will have to put in lots of new weather stripping because it was a little leaky last summer. Don't want to go on a long trip until that is fixed.

I think it is great that there is a winter 914 driving around. Sure it will probably shorten the lifespan of it but it must be fun to drive in snow. He might not even drive it around normally in the winter. I haven't seen it there since. I might check out the parking lot behind the apparentment building next time I'm there.

Must be cold though... mine doesn't have any heat at all but I heard the oilpan heaters suck anyway.

It snowed a lot since I took those pictures. Look what other P-car I saw today.

This one isn't going anywhere anytime soon
