I left 914 ownership when my black V8 powered car burned in the Walmart parking lot some 2 years ago. I've been driving a Mercedes CL65 AMG as a replacement, but it's time to return.
I'm trying to make a deal on a project car being built in Orange County Ca. and hope to get the deal done soon. The MB is nice but nothing is quite like a 914. Surely the new project is going to have more than 4 cylinders but less than 12 like the MB. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Crossing my fingers ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
