What a beauty. Is that a one-off front spoiler?

Love the side euro lights.

You're in St Boni? I lived there for a few years in the early 2000s.

I was thinking about your car the other day. Somebody on the bird site posted a Craigslist ad near me of a guy selling a 77 turbo engine. I reached out and started fantasizing about that engine in my 914... guy never called back, I’m sure he got bombarded with lowball offers like mine...lol

Bet you never thought you'd be so glad to see a fly.

That's not a fly that's the state bird

Just when I thought we were over it, there predicting a foot or more of snow today.

Posted by: Mueller Apr 13 2018, 09:50 AM

Low 70s with 0 chance of snow here

Great for people here that have a running 914 unlike me

Our snow is gone and we may wash away the salt this weekend. i have been known to taste the pavement to be sure. Looks great in orange!

Posted by: iwanta914-6 Apr 13 2018, 12:59 PM

So not looking forward to it. I guess it's the one time that I'm happy to not have a 914, otherwise I'd be itching to get out and drive.

Worn, add Margarita mix first....I'm a big fan of orange also. Best, Mark

My poor paver driveway has been destroyed by the road salt over the years, i never sealed it. i have alot of pavers to replace, most of the really bad areas are where the cars were always parked.

Posted by: mb911 Apr 13 2018, 02:42 PM

I might have to consider orange or a red on my car..

Enjoy the snow this weekend everyone.

Posted by: iamchappy Apr 13 2018, 02:48 PM

Or Signal Yellow......... not really a yellow and not really an orange.....

Always admired your car!

Picked a fine time to come home to MN for a visit, feels like February 73rd:

Welcome back!
All this white crap is coming down because Chappy had the nerve to tempt mother nature by rolling the turbo into the driveway. Putting your snow blower away before the first lawn mowing will cause the same thing.

Posted by: iamchappy Apr 14 2018, 06:23 PM

The snowbank that was in the photo behind the car is now about 7 ft. Tall. I cleared about 20 inches off the driveway today with more on the way. No golf no turbo car happening for awhile, just think of the dirty trick mother nature played on that fly.

Today was cold here in North Texas. The low was 48, and the high was 67. We had a hell of a wind the last few days too. Spent the last two days cleaning out the garage.


Gotta love living in a place where you never have to part your 914 for the winter.

Ya I thought we were over it. The storm was supposed to stay south of us. Woke up today to another storm.



Schools are cancelled already. No snow plows are even out.

Well 6 hours south east of you we just got freezing rain and then about 3 inches of snow.. Lucked out as ours will melt faster.
