Hmmm. I tried with the .JPG, but it doesn't work. I get returned to the "post message" screen with a box towards the top that says "THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND

Radio? Why do you have one of those? The best music in the world comes from right behind your head!!!!





Just kidding.. I am putting a radio in mine, but it will probably never get turned on. I get to listen to the "Symphony in 6 flats (flat six)!

Thanks Andy! When I opened 'em up on my computer, they didn't seem that big, but after I sent them to you, I opened one from the e-mail and it was HUGE. I felt pretty right then.
Thanks for posting them up for me though!!

It just got above freezing here. I'm gonna go wash it!

Cole

That rocks Cole!

Aren't these things just a blast to drive! It looks like it arrived all in one piece so that makes me happy. Yeah, still waiting on the title. It is one of those 4-6 weeks deals..... Been almost 4 weeks now, so soon.

Just checking, did you get the Haynes manual and speaker grills from the box? Just making sure they didn't "Disapear" on us.

Now you can see what I mean by exhaust leak. If your nieghbors are like mine, They just gonna looooooove you.

Yep, the box of stuff was in there. Thanks!!!

That exhaust leak is somethin' else. I love it! All my neighbours are gone for spring break, but they're gonna have a surprise when they get back, that's for sure!

Thanks again Dan,
Cole

Ha ha! Maybe you will think twice before sending 914's up my way now! Catch me if you can!

Man, I'm felling your excitement since I just got my first 914 too.

I hate being one of the crowd but being part of the 914 crowd aint so bad... =-)

Peace,

No it isn't

I can't wait for spring to arrive here so I can get mine out of the garage and feel like a whole person again

I got mine up on jack stands (IMAGINE THAT! ) converting to a six. But not to worry, it will be running again soon.
