Started my love affair with Porsche in the early 60's while living in upstate NY. Bought a well used 356 Speedster (from a local dentist) while a member of the Southern New York Region of the SCCA (as a member worked as a Pit Marshall in two of the F-1 races at Watkins Glen) and really enjoyed the "oversteering--throttle steering" qualities of the 356.
Moved to Colorado in 1976 (after living in New Zealand for 6 years) and bought a '71 914 to get back into the Porsche fun. Lost it in an accident and bought a '74 2.0 that I restored (the one in the picture) and then sold it to my daughter in Amarillo where it now resides and I have visiting rights. I now have another '74 (1.8) that is the doner for the Buick/Rover V-8 conversion. Having owned a 356 Speedster and run the course at Thompson, Conneticut, I will still take a 914 every time. Dollar for dollar they are the best. Dave |
