Yes, that article says 3 things;
1. This is not a real car guy, NOR a car article 2. This was meant for entertainment and it succeeds 3. Misconceptions about the 914 will persists longer than I will be alive. Also, the suggestion that a x1/9 is superior to a 914 in anyway is AMAZING. I reread it twice to see if he was trying to be funny there, but as there was no NYT or Commie reference, I assumed he was just misinformed. entertaining, thanks for pointing it out. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The contemporary competition was garbage. The Fiats, Lancias, MGs, & Triumphs were pieces of junk. Some may have been faster, but they were still pieces of junk with bad fundamentals (poor material quality, small wheels, fixed rear axles, drum brakes, tractor engines, etc.). The comparison is a joke!!! Even the JH was a piece of crap. |
