Ok, time for some crappy cell phone photos. I can't seem to remember the camera.

This is the one I didn't get....but that's ok.

And it's ok because I like this one a lot more anyway. It's not mine yet but I'm putting a deposit on it while I figure out some important stuff that came up............

I bought this one last year. Had to sell my 74 914 to get it. My first 914 is in the background in the garage without an engine presently.

No I'm not ashamed to own a tail-dragger. Hell, I need a Porsche that runs.

How about people with ass-draggers with only 6V and 4 cyls!!!
I would say less power than my 914, but I'm not sure that's the case.

I've always wanted a 911 too, but don't think I'll ever have the money to afford a 914, 356 AND 911...so I'm working on convincing my brother to get one, haha.

I had a 58, was beautiful.....restored it from a rusty hulk. Was underwhelmed by the brakes and engine. Sold it for a tidy profit though.....

By '58 they were already starting to get heavy.
No issues with brakes on my '53 although I can promise the 1500N had way less power than any 914. They're for cruising, not stoplight Grands Prix. Although a Pre-A on 2.75x16 tires can get exciting in its own way ...

Maybe I am odd. I find nothing really attractive other than the 914 and occasionally the odd silver 356 coupe looks neat, but I could never see myself owning, driving a 911 or 356.

when I was a kid, my Uncle had a 914 and a '70 911. I HATED the 914, thought it was the ugliest thing ever built. I really wanted the 911.
He eventually sold both, and has bought various 911 itterations since (993, 996, turbo, etc).

Fast forward, our first Porsche was a stock '74 2.0 914 (what is now Papa Smurf). Second was a 944 Cab, which we sold to eventually buy the 993 cab.

Since then, we've owned 7 914's (still have Huey and Papa). And, truth be told, I am still not a huge fan of stock, skinny tired, high riding 914's. Sure, I appreciate them much more, but give me hp, lighten it up, better suspension, etc....THAT's what I love about 914's, they have so much potential, and I can do most of it myself. Simple...I like simple...

(though you would never know it since I've been working on these damn cars for 18 years now and they're STILL not done... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
