I just saw this thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=350102 about how to open the engine lid. It got me to thinking about things that "everyone knows" about our beloved little cars that was not glaringly obvious to me when I was a new owner.
So.. post your list of items that say "I was a 914 owner for X number of years before I found out....." Think of this as helping to educate new 914 owners. I will start it off: I was a 914 owner for 5 years before I found out that the left and right outer door handles are different. |

I don't remember when I learned this but... A pony keg will fit in the front trunk (no AC) and still be able to close the lid. 6 bags of ice to surround it, and once you get to the party site, just open the front and tap the keg. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) And when you’re done pull the small plug and let the melted ice drain out! |

More capacity and the handling improved greatly with the extra load. Or so I've heard... Clay |
