Hey Bill, that brings back memories! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I actually used that article & the similar one form MT back then to research & eventually buy my 73 2L in 1975! I still have the original Xerox copies (yes, "Xerox" back then) with my red pen notes on it about stuff to think about. There is a book out which includes this & about every article written on 914s back in the day - IIRC it's called the "Porsche 914 Ultimate Portfolio" by Brooklands Books, & well worth the money for any 914 fan. PS - It was the earlier MT test article from about Feb. `73 where they still were referring to it as the "914S" - as were Porsche+Audi division of VW of America. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

I have that R&T issue packed away somewhere. It's a good one to keep.

I've got that issue in a box up in the attic... just can't throw that stuff away, along with selected issues of Competition Press-Autoweek.
I was 21 when I got my '71- we've grown up together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Hotrod and Motor trend magazine from the 60s stored in an old wooden sowing machine box. Hey Wes, back then my uncle owned the only bindery in OC & did Hot Rod, Surfer & a few other home grown OC magazines of the 70's, so my brothers & I got the rejects free! Unfortunately, I don't have the boxes of them anymore. They got chucked out by our Dad - my uncle's brother - when they moved the family from San Diego to Indy back in summer `71. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But I do have the 60's memories as a kid/teen of working with my uncle on his 32 Ford Roadster, 58 Vette & Rail dragster back in those days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I did keep a few of the R&T, MT & C&D articles related to my 914 though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

When I was in high school I would devour the last page details of each car. Great info!
