that has to be a record almost I'd say ..
especially considering your dedication to VW's with your other cars.

They all run ?
I've always wanted to run a 914 on waterboxer fuel injection and ignition -
a much better system than what the 914 has stock. IMO.

I live in my Westy full time.  March 1st will make it 11 years.  Have
you seen the price of rent these days?! (Average of $1400 to $1800 for
a STUDIO apt in Ventura, CA)  Can't afford it on my meager wages, I
only take home around $300 (+ or -) a week :(

And yes, I have my other vehicles stored elsewhere for FREE :)  Just
lucky I guess.
