I was able to take left-hand turns "at speed" quite easily, and the right-hand turns were a little slower and not quite as easy.


Wait your 914 runs?! Since when?!! Dammit I need to pay more attention to whats going on here. Gosh it looks sweet, even with the "custom" Superbird wooden spolier.

My best,

The tree stories remind me that my GF and I picked up a ~8 foot (fake) tree a while back in the 914. We put the tree on the passenger floorboard, then she got into the car and worked her way around it.


I knew you were a tree hugger!

This is wide open for someone to make a joke about your girlfriend's "bush" or something similar...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

I'm pretty sure that even you guys are too smart to joke at the expense of a female lawyer with PMS... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Thanks for the compliments on the car, but it actually looks a lot worse in person. The back half is nice and shiney (except for the scrapes you can see by the left-rear taillight--GRRR!!!) but the front half has completely dead sun-damaged paint. I'll have to fix that some day, but the mortgage is just eating up my funds.

No clue who bashed the car. It's useable now (even looks OK if you squint) and I have higher priorities frankly. Like packing up all my stuff and moving.

I have been known to do fire alarm service work out of mine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

It is a great battery hauler! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

My favorite activity for the car is attending fire alarm inspections, so much better thana truck. When you pull up in the 914 they can know you are done installing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Today, I wound up parked next to one of very few cars out there that can make the 914 look large....

Having Brad drag it off to HPH... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

There were a half-dozen little things wrong with it (some of which I know I fixed, but either fixed wrong or they went bad again while the car sat) and a couple of larger ones.

The car still does not run completely "right", but it runs pretty decently.

In Italian "cinquecento" (CHINK-wuh-CHENT-oh). I remember those from when I went to Italy as a young kid... I thought they were very amusing. When I went back to Europe in '01, I only saw one of them in Paris.
