Overall, a pretty good article - although I disagree with the dings on the 914's styling, as it's proven to be a forebear of later styling trends, & perhaps suffered most from being too different from the Porsche "roundy" designs on the day.
However, if this guy is a pro writer - which I assume he is - then he really needs to pay more attention to proofreading his work! Several spots I had to reread several times to figure out that he'd either misspelled something, left words out or used wrong wording (fights for lights, etc.), & in one case he jumps from discussing the engine output of the 2.0 /4 to the 1.7/1.8 without even stating so!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I also had to "translate" in my mind from Jolly 'Ole ENGLISH to English - for boot, wings, bonnet, windscreen, etc.!

I disagree, I think the article is another rehash of the same stuff again, and anything added is basically Bollocks. Garrick club blah blah ...

It's not a Porsche, not sure why they keep entering the 'P' word into the article? I don't know about the rest of you guys, but mine says VW-TYPE47. Sheese, people need to get their facts straight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
