FINALLY!!, this months E-C is here.
Its incredible how an early car can arouse the imagination and bring back memories. Memories in my case being when I first layed eyes on my car sitting behind a house in an inch of mud with a tarp over it. The rust didnt deter me and if I had to I would purchase my car again.
Imagination being how I hope to have my car someday and how back in its day a car that clean was normal. Today it merely tugs at the heart strings.
Not even my door handles look as clean and sharp as yours....but someday. Atleast my headlights are still functional.
I've mentioned before I had my engine done by FAT about 4 years ago (now I remember). They did an awesome job but I've never experienced its performance before the mods becuase the car didnt run with its original 2.0 before.
I too will never sell my 914, my 10 year old sister once asked me when I die who will get my car. She was hoping I'd say she would, had to burst the kids bubble and tell her that I'll be buried in it.
Only one little thing I noticed about the photo. Looks like someone did a hack job on the center caps on the car. I'm willing to bet it was those heathens at the tire store you went to when you put on new rubber.
The local grease monkeys did the same to me, in my case it doesnt detract from anything.
