Hi!
I am Eike and I live in Chattanooga, TN. I work at Volkswagen for a couple of month and was looking for a nice 914. Im working on aircooled (volkswagen) for almost 13 years now and drove them ever since. I always wanted a porsche, not specificlay the 914 but from that area. I drove my first 914 at the bugapalooza in Chattanooga and it caught me right away. Although that one had some serious rust issues, the car was running great, it was a blast! I found a couple nice ones in the classifieds, but they were either to far away or just not as good as I hoped. This one was in the classifieds for a longer time and I was a little worried, that it might not be as good as described, but finally it was! It was even better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Of course not perfect, but no rust issues anywhere, a nice running stock 2.0 FI and a very nice interior. For now I am only driving it for fun on the weekends. We will see what will happen back in Gemany. Of ourse, I wil take this thing back with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here are some pics. the pickup, I flow down to Orlando and drove it back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) of course something broke. Fortunately it were only the points...

Nice looking ride!
I have never seen a yellow on any other car that was as pleasant and understated as the one that came on our 914's. Is it "canary yellow"? How bout it color code junkies. |

Interesting, the last pic shows a car with rivera rims, the first pic shows a car with either fuchs, or gurneys. Did you change the wheels already?
