Does anyone have some crazy 914 stories that they'd like to share? Maybe your son/daughter was born in one? Maybe you drag raced someone that was getting cocky because they thought their riced out civic was faster? Maybe you used a 914 as a getaway car after you robbed a bank? How has your 914 saved the day?

2011 I think, had a 1975 2.0 with FI. Did something to it (tune up) so my kid and I took it for a drive. Sun was out, top was off, nice day.
Couple miles from home the throttle cable broke. Opened the engine lid, leaned over the back and operated the throttle while my kid drove us home. I would yell "shift!" and close the throttle, then open it again while he changed gears. We didn't kill the 914 once and were amazingly smooth. His only complaint was "Dad, slow down a bit!"

She was the one to lean over the rear in a short dress no less. Man did I get the waves and honks. Got us off of the bridge, she was less than impressed but a good sport. Cost me a nice dinner but she was keen to learn standard after that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

Winter of '83 I travelled back home to Illinois to visit my parents. A cold snap hit with below freezing temps for over a week. Finally, the sun came out and it was a balmy 30-ish degrees. My sister and I were going somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) when I suggested we take the roof off since it felt so warm out. She looked at me like I was crazy.

As workers were leaving from the Caterpillar plant in East Peoria, we were stopped at a red light. A block down I spotted a 914 going through the intersection. As it passed, the driver waved with outstretched arm... straight up. He had his roof off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
