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. Few months back,engineless on a car trailer,huge day and on top of that a huge hassle to get from the shipping company,love the tow car I got from a friend,ever seen one ???(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Started the day at 8am and got the car home by 8pm,very long drive and was getting dark,got up early in the morning to see what i had purchased.....way above expectation,the rest is history. BTW my new GF made the journey fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) . |

Got to love 914's. They are either on jack stands or a flat bed. But when they run, they are fun to drive. They turn a lot of heads. I carry lots of tools and a spare dizzy. So far it has not seen a tow truck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I've joined the club. Almost went up in flames as one of the plugs on my weber 44 fell out and fuel dumped all over the hot engine.

This Panzer tank needed to be de-tracked and some rubber wheels fitted prior to flatbedding. Photo taken in Germany, it was stored by a collector in his private collection. Supposedly it's firing system was not deactivated according to the story. The neighbors liked when the owner would plow the snow for them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mine, back in the Spring. I towed it to our workshop after 17 yrs in hibernation. After taking apart the engine, clutch and g'box + replacing all sorts of plumbing, the car runs fan-tas-tic! Menno |

I finally have to post to this darn thread that was started over 4 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Elvira has been on my trailer lots of times, usually going to the race track. Tonight leaving work is a different story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) My first guess is the fuel pump. Attached image(s) |

Sorry John but you know that if you own a 914 it's only a matter of time before it shows up in this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
