one is enough.

i have different mission stage requirements.

a citroen xm for trans lunar injection.

a renault clio RS for lift off from cape canaveral.

and a 914 for landing on the moon (a bit of handling?)
not a lot of power required to escape lunar gravity.

i have not thought about returning to earth yet - another cruise mode. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

i'm thinking mercedes benz for splashdown. 80s V8?

Curious as to an "accepted limit" to the number of 914's one can have in his/her collection? or maybe I should consider therapy. For years I have been adding to my personal collection, but have never had the opportunity to sell anything, or maybe it's ageing.

What does your collection comprise of?



True story:

There is/was a member here whom during college had more than 27 914's in various stages. To meet his school expenses he would build engines for folks in the So Cal area. His degree was in Mechanical Engineering.

During around this same time I met him as we were to be married by the same pastor during marriage couniling which is for some...required to be married.

We joked about the 914 as my wedding day pictures are in my old -ex 914.

Soon after marriage he sold his entire collection. I sold mine not because my wife made me but it was time to move on.....AND my wife wouldn't ride in it.

Thus the relationship model:

No of 914's: Marriage tolerance as H-BAR

It follows: 914: M-XH/bar

I'm a numeric....but it makes sense to me.

Carry on.

PS: As is evident I still can't spell worth a damn. I'll just leave it.

My max at one time was 5 running driving and 7 parts cars. I am now down to one driver (sold the race cars) 7 parts car and a bumble Bee project car.

My wife is a saint. Her car hasn't seen the inside of our 3 car garage in 3 yrs. I'm like Little Garold Apple Seed...... I have 914s stored everywhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Many good answers, currently I am on the fence with "N+1" and either between 9 and 14. Garage is getting filled and wife has never discouraged my "hobby"

Great answers

BTW, does anyone use Carfax?


You need a bigger garage, but remember…….nature abhors a vacuum.

Would like to downsize the house but having trouble finding a condo with a five or six car garage and a condo association with a sense of humor. Only one (914-6) but three other drivers (F350, X5 and a '74 FJ55 Land Cruiser) as well as a Model A project waiting in the wings.

Currently we have a 356SC, 911S, turbo cab, Dodge Power wagon and two 914's in the shop. I was considering another 914, but some level of sense came upon me.

Everybody "NEEDS" at least one. Most everybody "WANTS" more. Nobody has "TOO MANY" ever.

The typical accepted limit around here seems to be "One more than you currently have."

When you get that next one, the limit is one more than that number...

Limits are hard to enforce when you loose track of how many you have.

Currently I have (and I have to put a bit of thought into this)

72 914 (2056)
72 914 (1.7)
73 914 (2.0)
73 914 (2.0) - roller
74 914 (2.0 bumblebee)
80 924 Turbo
86 944 Turbo
85 Vanagon Westfalia
97 328is
99 M3
2018 Passat



11... well at least now i know.. next to take inventory of all the extra parts.
