I've owned both a 73 and 74 Porsche 914 and often find myself looking at all the fabulous cars shown here and available for sale out there. I long to own one again some day. Now, to my question.
What's with the fire extinguishers? I often see a 914 with one mounted in the passenger compartment. I'm wondering is this really for a sudden engine fire, or is it used to solve the occasional vapor lock problems? What's the story? |
