I am new to the forum, and do not own a 914 yet, but I plan to fly in and drive a 914 home. It will be about a 1600 mile trip. My question is, what should I bring along? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Is the car with original FI or carbs? Was the points updated with a pointless module? If it was me, I would post a map of your planned route, and the times you plan to pass each major milestone. Members nearest each milestone could be on standby in the unfortunate case of a break down. When refueling, keep the car running, if you get pulled over, keep the car running. The one thing I would bring for your trip would be a good seat cushion.
