I posted this thread over on DDK and - as I know there are a lot of VW fans here on the world - am copy pasting it here for you guys to enjoy also...
My work/travel schedule has been pretty barmy lately. In fact, since January I've spent a total of 11 weeks out of the country, going back and forth to the US, Europe, and to every corner of Asia. When I get home from a trip I don't bother unpacking half the stuff from my suitcase, BA staff at Heathrow T5 have started to welcome me by name, and any day now I'm expecting poison pen letters from environmentalist groups about my carbon footprint. (As a long time owner of classic Porsches, I'm surprised I didn't get those letters years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)) I landed back in the UK on Sunday, after my most punishing trip yet: In the space of just 14 days I hopscotched London-Bangkok-Hong Kong-Kuala Lumpur-Manila-Jakarta-Bandung-Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur-London All work and no play would make James a dull boy, and in February I started a policy of rounding off any long tours of duty with some R&R before coming home. And this last trip was to be no different... Last month I finished off a 3 week Asian trip by joining Tenn and the Renndrive crew, for a Sunday morning cars'n'coffee in Bangkok. http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic...f=1&t=64686 Tenn knows Porsche freaks all across Asia.

After decades of collecting, this is the first 914 added to the collection. It's a 1975 1.7, which they recently swapped against one of Yanto's many Ghias.
At last, I think, it's my turn to teach Michael something: "How's the hell hole?", I ask. "The what?" I open the engine lid and shine a torch into the notorious area low beneath the battery tray. "Oh," says Michael, "I didn't know it was called that. Very rusty down there. But... no problem for my guys" They drive on the left in Indonesia, and Yanto likes all his cars to be RHD. I've given Michael a bunch of links info about RHD conversions on 914world, and this car will get the treatment once its time in the workshop comes up.
