There are basically 2 kinds of 914 owners. Those that have been towed and those who have not been towed, yet! So post your pic's here with an appropriate quip. I didn't get pic's from my first 3 tow's but I did get the 4th one. Amazingly enough, I was passed up (ignored if you will) and left stranded in the parking lot by (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) 23 other teeners whom I had just had lunch with. Friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Did I mention it was a 70 mile tow on the million dollar hiway in a truck that could not go over 35mph or the front end would shake badly. But this little guy, Fritz, (the drivers sidekick) made the ride much better. |

Either everyones 914 is doing really well or they have forgotten to post their pic's. So, I went out and broke down so I could revive this thread.
Let me back up a bit. After Rt 66 I was reading a CV post and read McM's comment on sliding the driveshaft to check CV's. Now I know what that occassional clunking was. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I had installed the Pertronix and wanted to drive it before I dropped the shafts. I must hold a high opinion of my mechanical skills because I left the house w/o nary a tool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Went for a spin thru the wine country and lost my shifter on the return leg. I knew immediatly that I had not properly torqued the 13mm clamp after adjusting and that it had slipped. Did it by feel. Good n tight. Told you I was good.
