Matt may come off a lot of different ways on video, and I didn't know what to expect when I did a trip overseas with him, but it turns out he's absolutely a give-you-the-shirt-off-his-back kind of guy. When my video camera didn't work, he set me—a perfect stranger—up with a camera, mount, and card from his own kit. Couldn't have been nicer about it, or more genuine.
And he definitely knows how to drive a stick. Every 901 I've driven is a different acquired taste (of course, I feel mine shifts great!), but my suspicion is that car's bushings are toast, and/or its linkage could use a bit of adjustment. The carbs at those altitudes didn't help, adding pressure to master what probably felt like an already delicate shifter. Sure is a pretty car, however, and I'll give Matt a lot of credit for "getting" the 914, and looking past the shifter and carb issues to praise the balance of the car. |
