Cool My favorite drive

This is my very favorite drive for a fast, fun drive. I used to do this road back and forth each day. My wife disliked this road as much as I liked it (it proably isn't much fun to ride with me driving her minivan after I got used to the 914's behavior). So I've got this video of the drive and I really like it and here is a capture from it showing a bit of speed that would be a bit excessive in her minivan. It is now the new desktop wallpaper on my computer. Do you have any in car pictures that really capture the fun of a 914 for you?

well i dont have a pick of mine but i will tell yall about it :

it is a road called harford rd, just north of baltimore, md. It has seven turns from 90 degrees to about 150 degrees. that stretch over about 1/2 mile. these turns can be done at about 40 mph if you are in a car and pushing it very hard and about 35 mph in my nissan pathfinder, i have done them at 65 to 70 mph ( depending on which turn ) in my 914. Which does not have sway bars but is lowered about 2 inches with 100 lb springs in back, running yokohama tires. and that was at night and staying in my own lane, i think i could have gone alittle faster ( 5 mph ) but it has a hill on one side and a guard rail on the other, not a place to screw up.

to give an example I had to give a car that was being driven by a sane person 1 minute head start or i would catch up before they would finish all the turns and that included starting from a dead stop.
