Essex roadster

Post by kingfu »

Hi everybody,
I live in essex and have been the proud owner of a 914 for the best part of 10 years. I have recently debated selling her as a new motorbike, too many hours at work, and lets not forget good old British weather has prevented me getting anywhere near as much use out of her as I would like.
But then you find communities like this one one which remind you what classic porsche ownership is all about!

Hi, welcome aboard! Where abouts in Essex are you based? Great to hear about another fourteen, especially a local one :) Got any pics of the car?

Hi Kingfu - welcome to DDK.

I'm very close to you in Harwich, and travel to Galleywood once a month to meet some of the others - see the future events section.

Look forward to seeing you at a meet soon.

I have found it to be a bit of a marmite colour. People either love it or hate it. I obviously think it is great - there are not many cars on the road I would be brave enough to drive around in revina green, but I think the 914 pulls it off nicely.
Unfortunately, as you can see from the picture, everytime I bring it out to play it conjours up the rain.
