Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that the 914 of today sits among a much different crowd to "sleep with" than it did a few years ago?

Yes, the 914 has finally matured :-)

The 914 is on the path to losing its "stepchild" status!

Compare the results of this thread with the results of even 4-5 years ago :-)

Thats why I had to add one back to the collection :-)

I dragged home this '68 Honda "Scrambler" CL90 a couple of days ago. Its complete, with 7400 miles. But that doesn't mean much. You might see I opened the valve covers, pulled the sparking plug, drained the oil/water mix, tried to get the generator and clutch covers off, etc. The engine is toast, gearbox is locked up, chain is rusted, cables will have to be replaced...But hey!, this will be easy compared to most 914 projects.

I better get the orange conversion DONE first.

My brother flew Navy C130s during the Viet Nam era and brought back many Honda 90s including one or two 90 Scramblers........ I must have put a thousand miles on them and never left our street.

Wow, that hurts. I had a 72 in similar condition. Actually the engine ran, but I had it out to work on a transmission problem and it was stolen out of my storage unit, along with my AC/DC welder a couple of years ago. Not sure which item I was most upset about. BUT, they did not find the seat which I think is in better condition than yours and if you send or pm me your address I will box it up and ship it to you. Hope all else goes well with it.

Mine normally sleeps alone (separate bay) but here are a couple of wide rears cuddling a while back -

^^^ Weird - the board seems to have inverted the pic

Au contraire, you took the picture upside down but your phone is smart enough to turn it around for you.
I looked into auto-rotating images for the board software, but it isn't actually all that simple to correctly detect rotated images.

The easiest way to avoid this is to remember which side is UP on your phone.

Most of the time here:


With these (well two I've paid for...)

Please tell me all 3 of those cars are yours and not that some neighbor sandwiched you in because they do not know how to park.

They are mine, hence what does your 914 sleep with.

My '75 sleeps with my '61 TBird project.

I thought of that; however, multiple software packages on my computers all portray the image as right side up, so inverting it there would make it upside-down on my 'puter...

It sleeps with a Ford Fairlane and a Shelby. Don't have a good pix of then all together in my garage. This is at a friends.Click to view attachment

It's a messy garage, but nice companions to keep them company!Click to view attachment

05 CL65 AMG, The picture is not my car but it's exactly the same. V12, 600 plus hp and 800 ft.lbs torque. The alter ego of my 914.

My 914 used to sleep with my Nissan Hardbody. Now Max is a mean bitch with a little Nissan bastard inside.

I bet Max loves it when you talk dirty like that...

sold My Boxster last summer so it is missing some porsche company, but i bought an Audi TT that is usually in the garage along with out Jaguar VDP, but this '65 will be in the stable as soom as i can arrainge shipping from my parents farm up in minnesota,

Mine lives with the cars in the background plus a few others.

Well not really sleepin' together since the truck doesn't fit in the garage.

these 2 get the front garage, the 914 is stuck back in the shop

I don't have a photo of them all together as we have a long skinny garage, with a long skinny carport in front of it.

But here is Betty ( the Cayenne TT ), Ted ( the Corolla ) ,Squeak ( the Liberty GT ), and Violet ( the 914 ).

Squeak is the wife's shopping trolley, and Ted is my old club car from year ago ( waiting for my sons legs to grow a bit longer )

nice Rott

Indeed, nice Rot.

The Toyota is great too. Brings back memories of my father's primrose(?) yellow version of the one you own. One of the best cars he ever drove - easy: after more than a decade driving British cars...

Thanks for posting this!

My 914 with his buddys.

very nice...

When my daughter was in Copenhagen for a semester she went to Malmo frequently to get Lingenberries.....
We now have our own garden of them here.

I see an Issetta tucked in there, cool

I need to stop looking at this thread…it's making me green with envy. It needs a 'Parental Advisory' or something…grrr.

My 'running 914' is currently sleeping with a basket case 914 tub..imagine sleeping with a corpse!

Eyesright,
That is an interesting dual muffler you have next to the 914, must be custom made. It looks good. Could you provide a few more photos and/or description? Thanks.

Old picture..
914 is still at the shop waiting for paint.

Garage is still a mess though

Eclectic mix.

I was just a teenager when my dad drove home in the (used) Issetta he had just purchased. Drove straight down the driveway and into our small backyard and started spinning doughnuts
