Well I went and got married last weekend and figured that was a good excuse to take the 914 out for a honeymoon road trip up the California coast. Went from Cambria all the way to Fort Bragg over the last week. Stopped at all the cool spots; Hearst Castle, Monterey Aquarium, Point Arena Lighthouse, etc. We had a great time and the car ran fantastically the whole time. Gotta say those twisties along the coast are Fan-Was-Tic!

Here's a few pics from the week.

Congratulations! How cool to be able to enjoy your honeymoon and have the 914 with you too. She has to be a keeper- the wife and the car.

Took my 1st of 3 914s on my honeymoon back in 1984. Great memories!

Maybe something funky with the picture? Look at the house in the left background, it isn't straight either.

The parking lot picture right above has a better straight on shot. Still a bit of top camber. but not as bad.

Took the then-girlfriend on a 16hr/900mi trip from Chicago to Albany NY in the early 80's in my 914-6. Drove straight thru with only a couple gas & bio breaks. Spent about a week with my family, and did more driving/sightseeing on the east coast. Figured if she could put up with that, she was a keeper. For the trip back, she was was my fiancee.
37 years later, I still have both of them.

Good things happen in a 914...

Wish the best for both of you..

In 1972 we went on our honeymoon in a 914, Started in San Diego and went as far as Victoria BC. 46 years later I can say it gave us a great start. And a couple of years ago when I found another 914 to buy all I had to do was tell my wife how romantic it would be to have anohter 914.

Best of luck

Nothing as pretty as new Bride. Their beauty radiates the love in their heart. Good choice on the car, also.

Thanks all for the well wishes and compliments! The trip was great and we both very much enjoyed it. I was a bit nervous heading out that Monday as this was the first really long trip in it, but it all turned out well and we made some wonderful memories!

Both the car and the better half are keepers. She fully supports the "obsession" and is okay with the VW and Porsche taking up weekends occasionally.

I'll try to get some more photos of the rear and post those up in another thread. I think that picture may be a bit funny, it was kind of rushed since the lighthouse was closing down for the day and getting people to leave. Should I lift it up and get some photos of the suspension bits as well for everyone to see if there's anything wrong?

Congratulations!

38 years ago I married my wife and HER 914.
I wish you the same and more!

Posted by: Betty Oct 23 2018, 04:24 PM

Massive congratulations! Pretty soon you'll have to start discussing who gets stuck riding and who gets to drive, then one day comes the realization it's just easier to get her her own 914.

... We weren't able to go on a honeymoon, but my car did take us home from the wedding.
