DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Looks like you're a couple short there Keith

One good thing following my minor excursion which was motoring backwards into the tyre wall at Fordwater on a Goodwood trackday, and it was banged all the way down the side from headlight to tailight, - - was I got the bodyshop to check out some small paint bubbling on the back of the door shut by t...

Agree, and I wish they would make some very small ones so you could have it on your keyring or on a chain on a necklace, hey, boys wear them now, it's a shook up world . . .

No chance, not the speed I was going

There was a problem with clearances on my engine. On a trial assembly Gary found a minor discrepancy, only half a thou, a bit less in fact but when I'm pedal to the metal giving the wee beastie heaps I really don't want to wipe out a bearing or much worse. So the cases went off to Mr Fulljames's mac...

My friends say I ought to own up to this IMG_1448 - Copy by Graham Kerr, on Flickr

After the Christmas break it's all go on my engine build after Gary at GDC finished his major rebuild of the very first long wheelbase 911 no.001. The heads are all built now with the combustion chamber volumes matched nicely and the valve spring heights checked. Piston ring gaps are done and the cy...

Received the latest issue of Classic Porsche this morning, I'm so glad I have a subscription to Octane.

This mob cost me £85 and all I got was two goes of two laps of the circuit, didn't even get the oil warmed up. I'll save it for proper trackdays next year thank you very much. Hang on, actually got one next month, Goodwood marshalls event on the 16th, better order some new rubber.

I really shouldn't because I've got millions of other stuff to do but, I see splittie, I see Porsche, I see Revell and I've just got to get the glue out. A 1/16th scale Revell kit, it's skill level 5 so it was a bit tricky in places but it all came good especially the paint - guards red of course.

Still in the doldrums a bit waiting for my engine to appear although it has now been line bored and chromated. My man doesn't have a dedicated engine assembly room at his works but there is an attached area which he will be giving a mega clean to ensure no nasties, earthbound or flying decide to be ...

I'm definitely on my way because I've just booked the ferry. Portsmouth / Bilbao, I would have preferred Santander but the available dates just didn't work out. Now the big choice is going to be, do I take my 6''8 thruster, my 7'6 mini-mal or my 9'1 nose rider or shall I take them all. I'll take the...

Whilst not being very efficient when it comes to putting my thoughts into words or even basic understandable phrases, I'm at a real loss after reading page 25 of the September PCGB Porsche post. Just what is going on with this top heavy organisation. If it was a commercial business I'm fairly sure t...

I should never have read this post because I thought, blimey, I've never checked these drain holes and I think I really ought to. So took the car out the garage, hit the sunroof switch - nothing, no sunroof. No no, the car does have a sunroof, it's just not working. I had a quick look, popped out th...
