Shot from a cannon (Marginal Audi content)

[Mike Arman]

There's only marginal Audi content here, but this does involve the
"extended family", so here goes.


Made a deal last week, I'll wire your car, you give me the motorcycle you
want to sell. Deal accepted.

Car is a 1975 Porsche 914. Very probably the fastest one (in a straight
line, at least) in the known universe. It has been gutted, five-bolt hubs
from a 911 installed, and the 2.0 flat four is history - a great big
Chevrolet V-8 of about 475 hp is sitting there . . . cam, headwork, fuel
injection, Mallory ignition and fuel injection computer, headers, the
*full* good-ole-boy hotrod treatment, with cost as no object (the guy can
afford it - easily). It has been driven about 200 miles already, so it runs.

Task at hand is to re-wire the car. I'm about half done. This is actually
pretty easy when all the old wiring and interior are gone, and I'm starting
with a clean slate and someone else's evidently bottomless wallet.

The fee is one 1975 Hercules (sold as DKW - there's the other family
connection) W2000 wankel powered motorcycle, 97% complete, in several large
boxes. Brought it home in two trips in the type 44 - no problem.

And I am NOT going for a test drive when his 914 is finished - that thing
SCARES me!


Best Regards,
