All the coolest Porsches are mid engine and air-cooled!

Unusual in that only the rear wings are 'GT' flared, fronts stock.

Definitely wouldn't mind a 914...Tastefully modded.

Watching the video with subtitles on.....One of the coolest Porsche's, the 904, translates into the "Vinyl Floor".

I know Porsche did some cool stuff with Fibreglass, wasn't aware of their studies with Lino

I exchanged some txts with Angus of Greatworth

They look just like the texts Angus and I were swopping about Tango 914 in August......

So back when we will all working in offices. My younger colleague from Tenerife started dating an English girl and moved in with her. All quite normal except he decided to hide it from this Mum. He thought the sensible approach was to spring his new GF, of over a year, on his mother in a restaurant in Tenerife. Needless to say we all thought this was a very silly idea and mocked him.

In this spirit I've decided not to tell Mrs B there might be a car arriving. Let's see what happens

You’d better fess up then Neil....

Hiding a watch or two is fine but I think you’ll struggle with a 914

[neilbardsley]

All watches out in the open

This one on it's rotation today.

You can’t hide a 914 in your sock drawer - anyway the date’s wrong!

Mrs B is happy with her car!

Bit of fettling this afternoon. The boot lid doesn't sit right. I tried to adjust the latch but I think I made it worst. The bad left/right edges are too high. Any ideas?

Next the gear selection isn't working. Not sure I've found first yet. I've never adjusted gears before. I looked at the gearbox and saw 3 different cables going in but couldn't find any diagrams in the books that came with the car. Anywhere online I can look?

The Targa top at the rear on the drivers size is seating too high. This means there is a small gap between the window and seal. There is a pin that should be pulled down by a hoop from the latch but it isn't moving the top down much. It took quite a lot of work just to get it on

The Speedo isn't working. It tweaks but that is it?

I changed the oil and it took less than 3l. I didn't undo the B filter bolt.

Car is idling rough and low that maybe lack of use. I'm new to injection cars but will try to do a tune up

I'm allowed to have classic reg plates on this car?

There is certainly a charm about how simple these cars are. Feels more like a sports car than my 356.
