i had never riden in a v-8 or a 6 car, let alone driven either flavor. today i had the pleasure of driving, deliverying, craig's new, flared, 75' 8 clyinder beast, fron seattle to portland. great car. very well manered while cruising at a moderate rate of speed. the same behavior while rolling at a less than moderate speed. the car really makes the leap from 70 to 110 at a amazing rate, but not in a fashion that leaves you wondering. now i only did this one time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) . pity the hapless young sprat in the mustang cobra who thought he could goad the old timer that was just putting along. he was a mere speck in a heatbeat. his bad to think the 2 huge pipes sticking out the of the valance were all for show and not for go. thanks craig, i won't forget the morning
you may be wondering how i got home. did i take a fast motor boat? a speedy jet plane? an atomic train? oh no. got to drive the "used to be dan root's" flared 6. i got lots of thumbs up during commute traffic. a guy that was working maintanace at a rest stop asked me if there was a car show in the area today. he said the orange car was the second 914 he had seen today. i asked him if he saw the first one this morning, was it flared too, and was it yellow? "yes it was. how did you know?" great day. great weather, and a great drive. anyone else need a car delivered? k |
