Yes now you all know im young. Lol. I have not needed a license for a while, and since I have to pay my own insureance (on top of everything else) I did not want one, but now its Auto x time!! Oh ya you all want to know how I did eh? 1 point wrong, one lousy point.. The only comment? "Good Drive!" Now you all wont be scared of me on those 914 runs .

NO, you can NOT date my daughters......

To a 16 or 17 year old, the 914 must seem like a real antique. How did you guys get interested in them? You couldn't have seen too many around now that they're ~ 30 years old.

Thanks guys,

How did you guys get interested in them? [QUOTE]

Well, My father has been auto x ing and doing time trials for a couple of years (yes dan10101 is my dad) and I wanted something I that could keep up with him at the auto x, something not everyone has, and something with some potential. I saw a few 914's for a while, and I wanted either a 69 Mustang (weekend drag car), or a 914 (auto xer). Well this deal fell into my hands..

You Dad is very cool. You'll learn a lot from AutoX'ing your 914 and perhaps a little about yourself too.

If I had to do It all over again. I'd pass on Detroit Iron and drive a 914

I hope that 1 point wasnt because you were going around the track the wrong way congrads!! hf and be safe

Posted by: Andyrew Jul 11 2003, 08:30 PM

No, I think I hit a cone

Posted by: ! Jul 11 2003, 08:32 PM

My first 914 was nicknamed, "Cone Killer"....

Posted by: Qarl Jul 11 2003, 09:11 PM

Woohoo! Congrats!



Ummm... maybe that isn't the best advice!

Okay... go take the top off and go for a night cruise on the highway!

Listen to the sweet sound of your engine!

Congrats again!

My first car when I was 16 was a 914 too!

I wish more young (and old) drivers would take an interest in auto Xing, or any other form of driving school/exercise, that will better teach them how their car preforms and what the limits are. Killing cones is fun. But it can also make you a safer driver on the street, when your life is on the line every time you put on your seat belt.

Congratulations Andyrew.

I got my 914 when I was 15 from my uncle and fell in love with it. I remember the first real drive the day I got my license.................ran out of gas. Just fill it up when it passes 1/4 tank so you don't run into my problem.

Oh, ain't it fun learning stick on a 914

Congrats

Posted by: Andyrew Jul 11 2003, 11:06 PM

I wish, the cars up on jacks, and im tending it daily.. I'll see if I can go for a drive in the track 951..



Thats why im using good seatbelts (black simpson 5 point camlocks)



I didnt learn to shift on a 914 , I learned on my dads track 951

Posted by: vortrex Jul 12 2003, 12:10 AM

cool...now go out right away and see how fast you can get your 914 up to on the local streets.

Andrew,
congrats on passing your DL test


Even at 16, and well before that, this *sickness* as some have put it, bit
this kid, and bit him well.
Growing up with a dad that has multiple 944 Turbo's around the house, you'd
think he'd want something with Water, you know?

Don't worry Andrew, I won't say anything about the Subaru conversion you're
thinking about doing
