Well, I'm pretty excited! Always wanted a 914 but I've been stuck in the 911 world for quite some time, not that that's a bad thing.

Anyway, is there anything I should be looking for as far as spare's go? I'm driving it from LA back to Kansas City in a couple of weeks and while the car has been a daily driver and is good to go mechanically I know old cars, and anything can happen.

Here's a pic. It's a 73 1.7, one owner since 74.

Anybody know what this color is?

Thanks, Bill

Snow is a bitch I ran into a section inthe rockies about 50 miles ish from Denver. About 9:30 at night. Sucked but kept going till I found a hotel with room. took me an hour to calm down. Then it was hammer down for the remaining 36 hours till I got home. with a bit more southern route.

Imagine my joy when I seen I-10 East. WOOT!!!!!!!!!!
