Hi all I’m new to the forum and this is my first post outside the classifieds. I happened along this impressive site whilst searching for parts for my Type 4, 2 Litre, twin Solex VW Bus engine. I don’t own a 914 sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I’m located on the beautiful East coast of Australia a bit over 1 hour drive North of Sydney. I knew nothing about 914’s before I arrived. In fact, now that I’m a bit more edumicated, I’ve realised a 914 was at the VW Nationals in Western Sydney last year. I had no idea why it was at the show or what it was! Anyway, I’ve lurked around the forums a bit and now have a bit of an idea what the fuss is about. Whilst I do own big heavy practical underpowered wallowing VW Bus, I’m a motoring enthusiast from as long ago as I can remember, and I certainly do appreciate the 914 concept and its execution. I’m rather intrigued to know how the type 4 feels when it’s got a light nimble body. Anyway, that’s my modest intro. It would have been longer but I got stuck in the sandpit and found some rather dubious threads that were a bit like watching a train wreck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) Ha Ha Jim but really a great explanation ,took mine out on its first run and thought shit this thing is little,then powered up and got a bit messy in the gravel on a corner, did what I thought was right then popped out of the corner with 800 mm base pinetree's both sides all clear ,then thought these little buggers handle too....really stoked this cars are very unique. I will waffle on further and say I was walking down the hill from my place to go for a surf @ the beach and there was a car yard there (still to this day) and there was a 914 ,loved it anyway fast forward 30+yrs and I bought one in great condition ..all I did was fit a six (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . |
