What! You take it out in the rain! :lol: Didn't think 14's were allowed out in the rain :lol:

Really looking forward to Sunday. I've never seen more than two 914's at the same time.

Only just told the girlfriend we've got to get up just before 7am. She wasn't too impressed.

See you all there :)

The Drive...

Home after six hours of listening to a Monza exhaust :sleepy3: :shock: That'll certainly be changed for the Highlands trip or I'll be shouting at everyone when I arrive! :lol:

A great day, nice to meet more 914 owners. I recommend Gaydon Heritage centre to anyone. There's a great collection of British cars old and new.

Looks like it was a great turn-out - how many 914's were there ?

I look forward to meeting some of the 914 crowd once my car arrives from the States.
