I thought it would be a good idea to officially introduce myself,
since I've been subscribed for awhile and have posted a
couple times. I just drove home yesterday with my new toy,
a 914-6 (VIN 914031788). Attached is a bad picture of it in
its new home.

It needs some stuff done, though hopefully nothing too
serious. I'm assembling a list of questions that will appear
in later posts...

Cheers,

Skip Montanaro
Evanston, IL

What they said--welcome! But you're missing the "4" from your VIN... Should start "914043", not "91403"... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Mikelsr, I think it's a bit of an understatement to say that Mahomet is south of Evanston. It was about four hours away last time I drove it, though that was not in a 914... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

A girl I dated in HS lived in Mahomet, actually.

Dave,
It depends on how fast you drive! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Well I know the girl you dated wasn't my daughter! I would have remembered a car guy.

I wasn't a car guy back then. And unless you were a bio prof at the U of I 20 years ago, that wasn't your daughter...
