Went for a short spin around the neighborhood. First time behind the wheel this year. I had the top off (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) Also, it was my first nighttime drive with the new LED dash lights - thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) Qarl.

HAd to jump start her after sitting all winter but she fired right up and ran like a German sportscar! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I've gotta pick up some of those lights...big difference? Did you get White, or a color?

I'll be driving in no-time too. I'm still stuck in 'Restoration Season' (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Remember - when they wake up after a winters sleep, they are hungry like a bear after hibernation. Be sure to feed your car with lots long drives on twisty roads.

Big difference? No. small difference, but any improvement is better than the barely visible factory bulbs. I got white.

Tom,
Yes I also took out the 914 for a drive. Tuesday drove to work 40 miles round trip. Just could not miss out driving on the warmest day of the year. Picked up my oldest from drivers ed that night also. While driving I seem to keep thinking "I'm BACK!"

I'm stuck in PA this week for work, and the 914 is sitting in the garage waiting for it's MegaSquirt conversion...

I did visit a Porsche dealership in Mechanicsburg and got a nice close look at the new Carrara GT, even got to sit in it.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

But, I'm stuck with a 2005 Nissan Altima. Not a bad ride, but it does burnouts pretty good (OE Linelock, baby!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) )

Any GTG's in line for the MI area?

Later
Tom
