Why a 914?, Help sell me on one Options

[D'Fuzz]

I am new to your board. I currently do not own a 914 but have an opportunity to acquire one. I have been doing as much reading as I can about them. I own other classic cars and am aware of the issues about rust and maintenance. I have never driven a 914 so I would like to know what other owners enjoy most about their cars. I would be using the car for Solo II and for driving around town or weekend trips. I realize these cars don't possess gobs of power but when it comes to Solo, a good handling car is better than power monger anyway.

Thanks in advance for your advise.

If you have read the what to look for threads, it is still a good idea to have someone who knows these cars look at one with you. BTW welcome  :beer2: I know Dan and I have spoken with him about his car. I know when the weather gets better he will get me out for a ride. I would just like to know what it is that makes pwople choose these cars.

Thats if Dan has his done by this summer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) You can take a ride in mine in a month or so, hopefully. If it stays as nice as it is today, maybe sonner! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
