Going to fly to El Paso Friday morning to pick up a new stoopid toy. Should be heading back to California shortly after noon and probably driving straight through except for a nap and food here and there.
Wish I had time to go Milo-hunting in NM on the way back! You Rennlist guys from about 4 years ago will understand when you see the picture below. If I feel any big bumps I stop and see if one of your 914s is stuck to the diff cover... So, I'm officially aggressively selling my 914 (it's in the classifieds, but there is a direct web link below) and aggressively selling my Dakota V8 (another link below). As always, I have included too much info and too many detailed pictures. Gonna probably cut up my XJ jeep and part it out too since it has a severe rod knock. I've been looking for an Excursion, just not one that is this big. Oh well, it will be fun for a while and will be perpetually "For Sale". I have some room to play considering the price I got it for and how much the modifications are worth. I'll have another 914 not too down the road, it will be nice to only have 4 cars (plus the other rolling motorized large toys) for a while. 914-V8 link http://www.malmz.com/signatur/914widebody/index.htm Dakota link http://www.malmz.com/signatur/Dakota/forsale.htm Da new beast: Attached image(s) |

Hopefully they don't put as much of the same crap on them or I will have to go from El Paso to Phoenix on the power line roads to wear it off...

Steve,
Your 914 looks a lot like a dakota (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Is this it? http://www.malmz.com/cars/327914/index.htm kim. |

Do you stand up in it? Park it next to something we know, like the Grand Canyon, let's get an idea of scale.
I'll bet the circumference of those knobby tires is the exact same length as an early 914, no tits. M |

I'll get some perspective shots next to the 914 by the end of the weekend.

I think you can park the 914 underneath!
Keep the 914. Tell the significant other that you want to add another "garage" to the house, so you can keep the 914 covered. |
