Feel bad about this one. Wonderful weather day in Cincinnati, Ohio yesterday. Days that you dream of, the few days it pays to own a convertible. I left my office just a tad past 5, dropped the top on my Miata, and drove out the back gate, got stuck at the light to turn left, and I look up in the rear view and see a Orange 914 pull up behind me, Just then the light turns green, and we go our separate ways.
First off I have been beating myself up for driving a Miata, I am 6'2" I am a big boy, I barely fit. I drove a Cayman the other day, and fell in It has room, it drives very well, and handles so well I am sure I will have a few speeding tickets not from the straights but from the curves. So I have been kicking myself, but the Miata is paid for. Then I am enjoying a bit of good weather top down action, and it was like Karma the Universe or what ever you believe in was me.
So only person I know of with an Orange 914 like that is @LeadFoot was it you, or if no then who is running around North Cincy with a great looking 914?
Thomas @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=12156 just got his yellow 3.2 conversion running, and that is his current stomping ground. I just saw the car last weekend, and depending on the tint of your sunglasses and level of color blindness, it might look orange.
Stephen -
Get the Cayman. I have an '11 Cayman S that I'll keep forever. You know - you drove one.....you'll enjoy every mile, even going to get gas.........and generally, cops aren't waiting for you in the twisties. I've been driving Caymans for 8 years, and while I've been stopped 5 times, I've never received a ticket.
In VA the state requires front plates (totally stupid, right?), and my front plate is a Euro plate. Is it illegal? Cops think so, and stop me. One judge threw the charge out. A $35 non-moving violation, 1 point. I'm not changing.

This is Thomas car 1973 originally a 1.7 that he picked up from me (I sold it for a friend) few years ago. Thomas and his wife drove it to Vegas then back home to Ohio within 5 or 6 days trip.
Is this the car you saw?
HAHA! It was me. Sorry, I just now saw this. Been working a project in Memphis with little to no time at home.
That Monday, I was either running to West Chester or running from West Chester to tri-county and then home.

Nice looking car as I said it really was like a kick in the balls.
