QUOTE(seanery @ Aug 27 2003, 07:52 PM) Is he looking at the Tangarine Dream? That's a "she", not a "he" that's looking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) It will be a long trip, but I've done LA to Hartford, with an involuntary stop in Las Vegas due to a blown cylinder and ended up having two replaced (all this in my original 914 in '82). I'm really looking forward to it. Don't know my exact route yet, but I'm stopping in Kansas City for two nights, Cleveland for one, and W. Springfield, Mass. for another. I hope to leave Portland on the 10th with my bottle of bourbon safely in the back trunk along with the Haynes Repair/Owners Manual that Jim convinced me to buy. Joan A |

Joan,
If/when you decide to drive back... advise us on your route. Usually, if you need help on the road, most of us are willing to help a fellow 914 owner in a jam. Get a Haynes manual, a basic set of tools, and a few spare parts (fuses, fanbelt, a relay, and maybe points, cap and rotor). -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Add a spare clutch cable and throtle cable to the spares list too. If either breaks in the middle of nowhere, you might have to wait a few days to get the parts.

Actually no, when I drove the 70 home from the West coast, no problems at all (cept for mystery shift and hot starting), but on the way home from Ohio 2 weeks ago. There was someone who could have used a clutch cable. Between 5 of us, no one had one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
When you get the car, use Curvie's trick and get a stick to use as a deadmans throttle, for those long streaches of road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

joan, i bought my silver 73' from jim via craig. can you time it for the swap meet in portland next month? you might want to bring some extra $$. no telling what else jim will come across by the time you get there. when you get to his house you'll say "OH MY!!".
