I just found out that European Car magazine is kaput.
Back in Nov. a friend gave me a subscription, and I had forgot about it. My wife was cleaning out a drawer and found the postcard from EC saying my friend gave me a years subscription, but I haven't seen a single issue. I got on the publisher's website and went through the "contact us" link, and got a message that EC was no longer being published. |

I remember when that issue came out, but at the time I was unfortunately dealing with raising a family & running my business, with no chance of getting a 2 seater 914 running again - so my poor 914 remained stored in my garage after being whacking in a parking structure just a couple of years 7 +/- 20K miles after a very expensive full rolling resto/rebuild - so there was nothing that I could "spend wisely" on my 914 back then! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) After the 914 was whacked in May `85, my soon to be wife said that "[I} have to spend the insurance money on a car with a back seat, because we're starting a family!" We were wed in August, she had a miscarriage in December, then our daughter in June `87, & son Feb `89 - so she was not kidding! So I'd gotten our 85 BMW 325e in May 85 - & it did have a back seat, but close power-to-weight & handling to the 914 - so I cheated a bit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Then back in `88 it was stilll registered Non-Op then, & I'd roll it out of the garage monthly to run the engine for 15-20 minutes, until 92 when I completely mothballed the motor. At the time of that article hitting my mailbox in May `88, we had an 11 month old daughter, had just bought our `88 Westfalia in April, & money was tight! . And I think that I still have old AA 914 catalogs back to 76, 77 or 78 - as well as old Performance Products, & some other Porsche Indy Parts Houses which are NLA - packed in a box somewhere!
