What made you want to get a 914?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I will start. I had friends with 911 and I got a 911. When I spun a bearing in my 73 911 my car was in the machine shop in Burbank, CA I went there for lunch on a regular basis. One of the friends of the owner had a factory real 914-6 with a 3.0 in it. This was back in 1978 and this was not the norm for 914s Well this friend gave me a ride back from the restaurant and I noted not only how his car seemed faster than my 911 but he was going around 50 miles per hour and he made a right turn. I thought we would crash but instead his car in Slot Like form just made the turn. Like on Rails like a fast ride in Disneyland. After that I always wanted one. And when someone stole my 911, I got my first of many. Bob B |

Loved my 1970 Opel GT, CHP red, and my girlfriend had a 64 Mustang which she sold and replaced with a 1.8 white 914 with Riveras and ANSA quad pipes out back. WOW, what a throttle-steering slot car. I was/am a BMW/911 guy but always remembered she and her car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
