O well. I guess I will vounteer. Please send 2 of these in case I screw up while putting it in. I'm glad you stated that the driving time does not have to be consecutive with gas prices such as they are.

OK,

Lets keep this simple. A better test would be to put a 914 on a rotisserie. Turn it upside down. Punch a hole in the floorboards. Fill the car up with a water hose. And see if it leaks through the seals.

Thats the way REAL MEN test stuff.......!!!!!

Z should step up for this.

(Thanks for the idea Aaron)

This has to be BS.

I did too many drugs as a younger man. I am sure this thread is nothing more than some sort of cruel joke, or a flashback or something.

Please don't toy with what little hope I have left to hang on to.

Good God man! Have mercy on us. We own 914's for christ's sake! We have no heat, many of our cars don't run. We fight rust, mockery and outright cruelty from the women in our lives!

Have a heart and admit you are only teasing us!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) however, I might consider the car wash if you could guarantee me a staff of 40 running the hair dryers, on cool, in every nook & cranny for the full 37 hrs. it takes to dry every nook & cranny AND another staff of 40 to wet sand if necessary, clean, polish, wax, detail, armor-all, etc...

Bruce, my car runs, and you'll save on shipping since it won't have to go down to the States! I think I'm the obvious candidate. Though I won't actually be driving it for at least another month... But I can have it all installed and ready to go for spring.

Way to go Bruce!
