Saw (I'm guessing yours) a yellow 914 drive past my house the evening when eating dinner outside. Said to my wife, sounds like a porsche...yep and a 914 at that. Shame I haven't heard mine run in 8 years or so

Yes, likely me. Went through Arlington around 5:15, I think... Spout Run and then Patrick Henry over to Seven Corners. We need to get yours running; they're too much fun to let stand still.

I know I'm on Patrick Henry in the Westover area.

I love love love the car and need to drive it again.
Engine is out getting rebuilt and I got the engine mount installed and a paintjob/rust fix from ScottyB 3 years ago...got most of the parts, just need to get it together.

...only upping the hp to 220 or so

Which one of you was driving the blue Deux Chevaux on the Dulles road today? I'd have taken a pic but couldn't slow down enough...
