As I write this I think about my nice little 73 - 2056 in my garage. She has given me some problems from the start, but I don't "love" her any less and she is running good. While I have always loved Porsche's and VW's (coming from beetles actually), I always dreamt of owning the 911. 914 has shown up in my life more than the 911 and when I was finally able to buy a Porsche the 914 was the affordable one (as funny as that sounds). A 77 with a 2.0 motor has caught my eye and I have this strong feeling to rid myself of the teen and plunge into the eleven. Still powered by a teen so that counts for something right? If money was no object, sure own both.
Am I being silly? Does this pull to the 911 and if I am so easy to cast the 914 aside mean the 914 is not my true love? Maybe I need to snap out of it...but that 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

My first P car was a '70 914 with a "huge" 1.7
Gave me a taste of the cars. Loved the handling and even the looks. Later a '67 912 which gave me a whole different feel for the cars. Light and fun but like the 914, not a lot of power. You had to drive it the right way. Current is a 991S which has a whole other feel with more than enough power to get me into trouble. Again, a similar but different car. The bastard 912/911 you have could fit your needs or add the 6. either way, the sounds coming from the back end (even water cooled) will make you smile. |
