….Complain about the stick location?

Works for me

Not my girlfriend...

20 years ago, I went with a good buddy to pickup his girlfriend at the bus station.

Needles to say, she had to sit in the middle while I was driving.

You coud tell from her face that she did not enjoy the ride.

A couple of years later, a similar situation happened going to a party. Yet again, the girlfriend had to sit in in the middle. She enjoyed it though...

Some prefer some don't.

Looks like they are parking, so easy enough to move the shifter into reverse and out of the way.

Many years ago, I had a couple 'friends that were girls'; never dated either one. But they used to ride with me in the 914 on occasion. One of them was on the 'larger side' shall we say, so she got the passenger seat. The other one got the middle cushion and angled her legs into the passenger section. Was still a little interesting when dropping it into 5th...

Give a whole new meaning to 'Money Shift'.

Somehow my hand would slip off shifter and end up in the right place

You mean the dog leg? Born that way

the 901 being a slush box just took on new meaning...

Y'all need Jesus.

Long ago, I think it was 1972; I drove through Paris with my buddy and our two girlfriends packed into my 914/6. Those were the days.

Yes, my 914 fit 4 people when I was in high school. Everyone was a lot thinner back then.

Perfect. You're bad. How dirty minds think a like.

Worked out ok, up and down South Padre Island in my 1972 Zambini Green (in 1982). She sat in the middle. "She" became my wife. 37 yrs later....got another one, 2 mo. Ago. No questions asked. Life is good...... my old man lent me the $1500.00 to buy the first one.

Got another one?……..wife or 914?

Did your girlfriend have the strength to push an MGA fast enough to bump start? Always a determinant to the success of a relationship.

Well my GF liked how the 70 seats could be Laid flat,, She was shorter ..1978

Cyndi said...when the working day is done, girls just wanna have FuN

down here i got one over all of you guys..
the gear shift is right next to the passenger seat.
and when i put it into first at the lights----------


i don't have to get it into 5th.

Yep. BTDT.

+1, was the MGA push test a qualifier for engagement?

pardon me for having to share that.
but ............

Ha,ha...(914).

QM

Like my wife riding in my beetle. (no running 914.....yet)

HA!

My wife could push a fully loaded Westfalia with a trailer and a VW beetle on it. No BS, she did it at every gas station for 1500 miles home...of course I was very selective of the gas stations, parked on a hill, etc. You didn't have to get it rolling very fast, especially when hot.

IIRC that bus was the first time I installed a hot start fix.

I don't have that bus anymore, but I still have the wife.

Another wife???? j/k

Nice but I thought there would be a girl in there somewhere

That’s what I was waiting for

Yes, a French classic!

As mentioned in the beginning of the footage, this was filmed without any special effects or speed changes to it.
