The 914 allure, I think I've discovered the source Options

[76-914]

Remember that last new car you bought? You couldn't wait to get in and drive it. Gladly driving to the store for a gal of milk. Looking for any excuse to hop in and drive that new car. But 3 mo's later, it's old hat. Been there, done that and the car washes are now down to once every 2 weeks.
Enter the 914. 3 weeks on the jack stands; 3 days running. 4 days up, 1 day down and so forth. It's the anticipation. These never run long enough to get used to them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

...914 allure.......well I think it,s because ..it takes real mechanical appitute/skill to analyze, disect and repair these great old cars...And it doesn't take a 50,000 dollar chip analyser,and a but -wad of electrical connections to "the machine"., which it seems only the dealers can afford.The mechanics now-days are parts replacers/and electrical whiz kids...Newer cars have just gotten to a plug and play state...boring!. Another aspect is that it only takes one (two if your lucky)..guys to pull the engine, trans etc. It takes a hoist/crane and 12 keystone cops to pull a modern day v-8. and just try to keep the electrical connections sorted, undamaged..It,s a major project...Not so ..with our 914,s...They are beautifully basic...and yet technically challenging. Just the kind of car a hobbist, gear-head car guy, needs...something he can work on sucessfully.
