I will have to wait to vote until next week. My car is going in next Friday for some work on its high idle issue. When that is resolved it is going down to Triad for a new exhaust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Stripped in the garage and awaiting rust removal. If my other cars would quit falling apart maybe I could start on it. I think they are just jealous.

I never got to actually drive any of the model cars I built as a child. I kind of think of my 914 as a big model project.

Mine's not the fastest 914 on the block with a tweaked 1.7, but I haven't had to do any major work on her since I first bought it a few years ago.

It starts, I drive it. Everyone is happy, esp the wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well, she is technically "running" (i.e. the motor runs), but after having (and comprehensively failing) her annual MOT test in the summer, she needs welding underneath, a boat load of suspension parts and a long list of other stuff with $ signs against them. Oh, and the motor leaks more oil than Iraq.

She's currently hibernating whilst I have a nice lie down

Option 1 for me then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I drive mine every day. The intention of buying the car was for a commuter, it turned into sooooo much more.

It makes getting up and going to work enjoyable, I love that little car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well I voted 3 but it is not quite accurate.
First off my car fit in something between 3 and 4, a nice runner but still had some issues.
Secondly, I sold over the weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
A friend bought it from me and still owes me some of the money but I still have the title. I will be be ale to drive it from time to time and when I bought it I only planned to keep it for s short time. The money will go into get 1 of the other 3 on the road (or track) again.
Earlier this week my wife was driving home and saw a 914 and thought "Hey a 914, don't see too many of those around. Hey it is a Blue 914, hey that was Jim's." She got up close enough to see that it was my friends son driving but never caught his attention. Roof off and cruising (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
