Years ago I had to go into a downtown building. The only place to park was a valet at the parking garage. I was in my 1974 914 2.0 at the time and the roof was off. When I parked in front of the valet I turned off the car, put on the emergency brake and put it in natural. I handed my keys to the valet and asked him if he knew how to drive a 914. He said he could drive anything. He fired it up and put it in 2nd and promptly killed it. He tried 3rd & 5th with the same results. I suggested it would help to release the parking brake. He looked around the cabin, under the dash and of course could not figure out how to get the parking brake off. I looked at me so I reached in and released the brake for him. He then tried 2nd & 3rd again. I suggest that 1st would be a better choice. Once again he look at me so I reached in and put in 1st. He pulled forward a few feet and put it in the 1st spot. I was back in 10 minutes and he let me pull it out of the space and leave.
