Sorry Guys,
Christmas frenzy, you know, 34 over for a sit down dinner and all the prep/clean up that goes with it (not to mention hangovers) Yes, I did subscribe to Twin Trunks. Back in the days when anything with 914 info was like the finding gold. Something to be read over & over again. I kept a carburetored 1.8 on the road as a daily driver in those days - repair sessions runnning well into the wee hours on several occasions - for transportation the next day. Learned by doing. I love looking at the events picture galleries. So many 914s in one place. They were rare here on the east coast even when new - I may spot one on the road now per year. The maturity, intelligence and mutual respect reflected in these posts are real and something I've observed about 914-ers since bulletin boards started. I've joined several other forums over the years and usually end up scrolling rather than clicking - or giving up on a thread when the flame throwers come out. Here I see benevolent roasting and dripping sarcasim - my kind of dialouge - along with some great advice and how to threads. I could kick myself for giving the buyer of my last 914 all my spare parts, manuals, old TT Tributes and magazine articles. I have to start over again! Then again- that is half the fun, isn't it? One thing I did observe while wrenching on my last 914 - it hurts when you get up out of those contorted positions - (and I was 49 then). When I'm ready, I'll look for one that's been gone over and sorted out, it won't hurt as much that way. Back to more surfing - rustorations are simply miracles and I just can't get enough! Six conversions - forever! See you later! -Murt |

Murt,
Welcome and keep hanging around. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) If you had to spend all those hours wrenching your back and your car you must still have good stuff to share. I've got you by a couple of years and know the aches and pains you refer to. But when it comes off the jack stands and roles out of the shop it's like drugs. Nothing is like cruz'in in a 914 --- well almost nuthin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif) |
