The burnouts and donuts start at about 14 minutes into the clip.
Mine would break if I tried to do that. https://jalopnik.com/may-the-glory-of-this-...wash-1819401898 |

Love Jeff and his car. Sometimes check out the New Zealand hill climb footage to take the edge off when I haven't driven for awhile.
Nearly biffs it at the start of his burnout in this one. Coolio |

I was just watching this and was going to post it. Jeff is a really cool guy, totally humble, and approachable. He used to come to Cars & Coffee in Aliso Viejo quite often, and he would always drive something awesome.

So I looked it up because I thought it might be a young thing and as I will be 65, well what the hell. Bob B "Hoon is a term primarily used in Australia and New Zealand to describe the act of driving a vehicle at high speed and pulling manoeuvres likely to cause excitement and cheers from onlookers. Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching tyres." |

It'd take giant balls just to do the burnouts with a wall and a fence in proximity! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

A pinky raiser on the 914 Facebook group said it was "gauche displays of exhibitionism", yea right. As if there's a generally accepted code of conduct on how we should enjoy our cars.
Donut away amigo! I think it's fun. |

"Hoon is a term primarily used in Australia and New Zealand to describe the act of driving a vehicle at high speed and pulling manoeuvres likely to cause excitement and cheers from onlookers. Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching tyres." Also includes driving through peoples yards, smashing mail boxes , smoking out people with a diesel "tuner" box , driving on the road shoulder to pass cars then stuffing ones self into traffic when "merging" onto a main road , taking up two parking spaces by randomly parking , . . . . |

Donut away amigo! I think it's fun. Yea I saw that .... somehow he thinks racing and off road rallying is less abuse than a few doughnuts... crazy! He must not know who Jeff is and the history of that car.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

It'd take giant balls just to do the burnouts with a wall and a fence in proximity! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) He's used to running Pikes Peak, so typically he's drifting with a cliff off the road...a wall and fence are nice cushions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Always loved Jeff's 914/6 since I saw his write up about it in a R&T article on the best car for $15k....back when you could get a 914/6 M471 for $15k!!! I have looked and looked, but can't find it, must have gotten lost when I moved out of home after college. |

914's seem to come up as a topic lately. The reader comments are funny. One guy says he called it "the poor mans porsche" while secretly wanting one.

I really don't care who made the 914, I care more about what it is. |

Being a Kiwi who grew up with Rallying and Hill climbs and Rod Millen (Rotary) - this was a fun clip to watch. Thanks for Sharing

"Wash over your soul with joy"?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Watching someone do donuts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Hell, I can do donuts. No problem. But I won't in my car because it would be much more difficult for me to fix a broken 914 than good old Jeff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
