Today, twice. Drove it over to my folks house to remove their air conditioners. Damn, she's running good! So good I took it out again around 2:00, it was a perfect day for it. Got back in time to watch the Jets squeak one out.

Four days ago, in and out of the garage. But it is off the jackstands! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I will be selling those very soon. I don't want them to sneak back under the car.

About 10 minutes ago! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I've had a good stretch since getting a new fuel pump last month.

Last Friday: Drove to work
Last Sunday: Got in a morning drive
Thursday: Didn't drive it, thanks to others' advice...
Yesterday: Got my first true joyride (twisty back roads) since July, while kids were napping
Today: Took my wife out for a pre-birthday dinner, about 30 miles each way

Between the mechanical shape (almost everything currently works) and waning days of nice weather, I'm trying to do all the driving I can. Tomorrow should be beautiful weather - if traffic isn't too bad I might drive to work again.

April 2nd...the day I gave her away to the paint shop. Steadily putting her back together with new parts. Maybe I'll be done by the end of November just in time to put her to sleep until spring....darn it!

August 7th. I took my father in law for a ride in it with the turbo dumping oil into the intake. It still had a nice little punch at WOT, but not like it used to before it started knocking and burnign oil.

It's been over a year. My 2.0 liter lost a valve seat again. Instead of fixing the engine again, I'm finally doing my six conversion.

I'm pretty sure it was the summer of 1988. But I will be driving it again by May 19th of 2011 (45th b-day present) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Wow, nearly as long as me! I parked 'Lou' in the summer of 1986. I doubt she'll make my 45th birthday in 2012 after sitting this long. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

At last ! I'm going to win something - although you may disqualify me on a technicality. I haven't driven mine since the day I bought it - May 20th 1988. The technicality is that I didn't drive it then either as it was - and is - rotten as a pear.
However I am now making progress - the shell is almost completely stripped, I've primered some of it and I'm learning to weld. There'll be a resto thread when I've made some real progress - like stuck something on rather than chiselled it off.

ECC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) However I am looking forward to Halloween weekend at a driving event. In fact, today I started packing the tools.

Legally? ~ 4 years.

Its been on non op for quite a while. I DO however drive it around the block every 4 months, and I run the engine for 30 minutes every month.

How long has it been ?, since you drove your teener

The answer would have been 'yesterday' except i caught the flu and didn't get to drive it.

So the answer now is 'Last Thursday' or '4 days ago' ...

Last time I drove it further than down the street to see how bad the carbs were working was 3 years ago!!! It was on the trip home from my wedding, since then the passenger door handle, window regulator and carbs have gone kaput. I plan on really attacking this winter and next year...to be reborn as a 6 conversion...anyone in the market for a 2.0 engine with carbs?

I think about 4 years ago, and it was really rough (burned valve, backfiring, overheating, and bad motor and tranny mounts letting things clunk around loudly). Although I've had it since 1995, I've put less than 1000 miles on it in total, I believe.

That's gonna change soon though! It's ready to roll with a new 2056 and other goodies, and will meet me in Rhode Island when I get back to the States in early Nov.

That's my white 914 on McMark's banner ad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
