Eric's comments are spot on re handling. Back in 1996 I found my 72S after 2 years of looking. 4 weeks after purchase & while gingerly driving to work on a frosty and very cold winter morning I managed to do a double 360 on a motorway slip lane on black ice
Fortunately I was only doing about 20mph and there was nothing around me. 200 yds up the road was a 38 Ton arctic on the hard shoulder and a destroyed Volvo. Clearly he wasn't quite so lucky with the traffic I learnt an important lesson that day, don't instinctively lift completely off, I'm no Vic Elford and 911's (least the early ones) bite if not treated with respect The breathed on 2.4 MFI 911 is a pocket rocket and a hoot to drive but the 914 I think is much more fun on twisty back roads - plus in the UK it gets more comments and looks as no one knows what it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |
