Dan Anderson, Pnambic, drove Doug Leggins' car at the Fall Foliage Classic this year. It was the first time he has driven one.
Dan is very excited about 914s, so it was very surprising to me that he hadn't driven one before. Do YOU have a 914 and have never driven one? |

I bought mine about 1992 or something. Tried to test drive it before I purchased it. It was a 1972 white 1.7. with a side shift trans. The shift bushings and right front motor mount were so bad I couldn't shift the car. There was something about the car I couldn't walk away from so I bought it anyway.
My shop manager was with me. We ended up buying a tow strap. I can't say I really drove the car. It ran nice and had good heat so I let the car idle with the heater on as we flat towed it behind my BMW 2002. I was a passanger behind the steering wheel for about a 180 miles. If we would have been pulled over we'd still be in jail. When we made it back to the shop we stripped the car down to the shell. While the car was torn down My shop manager Dave bought a hopped up 2.0 Brad Mayuer car. That was my first REAL experience with the 914! I gotta tell ya I was impressed! During the time my car was apart we added the glas flares, changed the bolt pattern, added 15"X8" fuchs, 916 style front and rear bumpers, etc. It didn't go back together until about 1994 with the 1.7. I drove the car for one summer. The next year I never even started it. There was nothing wrong with it I was just simply uninspired. Being a big Block Chevy guy in a past life you can understand why I was eventually going to search for more HP. BTW: My former shop manager Dave has another 914 now and a 928 motor..... who knows what will happen next... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |
