914/6 with less than 100 miles on it. Picture taken on the E40 Autobahn between Brussels and Frankfurt, April, 1970.

Were those factory tires????

They look huge, like truck tires...

Hmmm, maybe it has 14" wheels?

14s with tall sidewalls were called a "Comfort Package"....same on 911s of the era.

That sure is the comfort package. The taller sidewall makes a massive difference if you're just street driving.

You're right, they were 14" wheels with 185x14 Michelin XAS. My rationale for choosing them was a little more low end since at the time I liked to get up to speed in a hurry. I've since mellowed a bit.

Mail Order Chickens

Taken a few weeks ago...they have doubled in size. Don't ask me the breed(s), I just work here




They live in one of our horse stalls for now. Jack secured the roof with a series of wood panels with wire to protect them from god's other creatures.

Random video my wife took last night. I spotted the foxes, but she had the camera. We are going back tonight (near Dexter, MI) if it's not raining, and I'll put my 10X zoom Fuji to good use.
