Great news, a new to us 914 from the West coast is scheduled to arrive Friday or Saturday. I spoke with the carrier today and he informed me "the keys are locked inside the car". Just great, makes the anticipation even better than I was expecting. I called the seller and he told me the drivers door had been "fussy" for some time and "now it evidently has failed to work" "passenger side has not worked in awhile" Seller said "you might have to break a window. but they area dime a dozen"
Car was described as a "solid rust free project" Is there an easy way to enter a locked 914 and how many more surprises await?? thanks in advance, I might need it |

Back in the 70's I noticed my Dad refused to use any of the locks on the LE; never locked anything (doors/trunks/glove box) and he lubed the locks. He was the same way with the Bug, the Rabbit and the Scirocco. I picked up the habit myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I jumped out of the car when I saw her, we started talking and walking and I didn't just forget to lock the car, I never even put the top back on. We went out that night, I slept over and the next day saw that I had left the car wide open. No body touched a thing. Lucky... |
