When I was was a kid I bought a 1976 Road & Track Sports and GT Cars edition. I carried that mag around for a couple of months and read it cover to cover more than once. Among others it had a 914, a 911 and a 930 in it. That coupled with the 914 that was parked on the street down the block with that 150 MPH speedo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shocked[1].gif) were probably the earliest provocation for me. I spend a lot of time now hunting down classic cars that I dreamed of owning in my youth and snapping them up for a little fun. The 914 is but one of a loooong list!
Not sure why this is in the sandbox. Definitely garage material. Moving... |
