It was good air cooled driving weather today. Sunny and 45. Went for a parts/cigar run in the 911. When I got back I had time so I ran the 914 too. Wanted to get one more drive in before the snow flies tonight.

Having a 911 reinforces my desire for a 914 with more power. Which is why I bought my /6. Perfect mix of the two.


I'll add a picture in a minute.

Reminds me, i need to get the 914 out from under the cover to stretch her legs.
An a cigar run sounds like the perfect excuse for just that!

Forgot to mention, I experienced classic 911 lift throttle over steer. Just a tad. Let off the gas on purpose in a nice local back road s-curve. About 50. Back stepped out just a hair, rear tires squealed and that was the end of that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Had I been going 20 mph or so or faster, it might have been another story.

I love Porsches and I love cigars, so tomorrow I'm driving up (in my buick) to see about a 914. I need a small sports car again. My current ride is a mint BMW 635 Euro. Nice, needs nothing, that's why I'm looking for a fixer upper, running 914. Wish me luck.

If you're looking, you might also want to check with Brad Mayeur at 914Ltd. In Peoria, IL. He often has lines on nice cars in the Midwest.

We never got any snow here last night, but it was only 25 degrees out this afternoon. Took a while to get the 911 up to 180. Once I got it there, I drove it... hard. Kinda trippy... That 2.7 isn't super quick, but if you wind it all the way up you can get everything out of it. Goes pretty good!

You bought a 911? Wow...missed that one. Looks mid '70s...sweet.

Hey, Gaspump, I happen to notice recently that Brad Mayeur in Peoria does indeed have several 914s for sale. If you check over on thesamba.com, his cars are listed under the seller name 914 LTD

Hey Bob,

I'd love to see you sell your car, but would you not try to sell it in my thread? Gaspump knows you have it for sale, you know he's looking for a 914. You two please take it offline or post and chat in a classified ad. I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Edit: Here you go, he's posted a thread about the car he looked at today. Fire away!

I wish. I'd gladly pay him to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/FERG.gif)

As it is, this detailer was Ferg's recommendation.

Brian is a nice guy, will give you a head start getting her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/FERG.gif) . Make sure you talk to Randy next door, super cool dude, he drives a yellow 74 with a 3.2, has a early Turbo, and two early 911's... What time you dropping off?
