Hello Spook

That’s a very nice 914 you have there. I see you had a dry day at Rowallan. I also live in Ayrshire and a member of the ACCC but unfortunately was away that weekend. Were you at PITG with your other car? There are a few ddkers in this neck of the woods. Where are you based?


Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,
Thanks, yeah, my 914 is a wee cracker 👍 I'd been looking for years before finally settling on this one. 1974 1.8cc in rare berber yellow running on twin Dellorto's. I've spent a few months since I got her, fettling and tuning, and she's running and driving great, and everything works, even the handbrake 😃 Rowallan was a great afternoon out, good food and dry weather as well. I went to PITG with my Speedster replica as I was invited, but still really nervous of how it would be received, but everyone was great, and to my shock, she won BEST IN SHOW 😃😃😃. We have pm'd before, I'm in Troon,
Cheers Colin

Hi Clive, yes PITG is a great event, with a lot of fantastic, and expensive metal on show. This was my first time, but it won't be my last. 914 next year methinks 😃

Looks great Jon - me and Ian were down on Thursday. Had a nice chat to a guy on the singer stand. Told him their wheels are too big. He took it well.
