I was listening to the radio at lunch today and heard a song form the Never a Dull Moment album (1972) called True Blue. In it there are the lyrics...

Never gonna own a race-horse
or a fast back mid-engine Porsche

Any idea what he is referring to? Maybe the 904? 914 doesn't seem very fast-back....

I'm pretty sure it means the roofline continues all the way to the back of the car. If the trunk lid includes the back window, it's a hatchback or a wagon. If it doesn't, it's a fastback.

Some people call the 65-66 fastback mustangs NARFs (not a real fastback) because the roofline ends in the middle of the trunk lid. In 67 they fixed that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Maybe Rod Stewart has no idea what's the difference is between a rear engine and mid engine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) The 914 looks like the definition of a anti-fastback to me.

Hey now, I have some great memories of some women from my past and I can always remember Rod Stewart singing in the background when they finally gave in. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Good point! I know where he lives!

Bring your torches and pitchforks, and all the GOOD 70/80s music you can find!

Stewart has had several 911's, he probably never needed to look at where the engine is. I've worked on his house, he has several Ferrari's and a Rolls in the garages. I understand he likes soccer teams also. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)
