DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

That would have been a really interesting exercise on my old faithful 3.2 short stroke MFI engine that’s just retired after 30+ seasons of competition. There would have been more than one long bar showing on the graph!

Super tyres, but once the present stock has gone there will be no more, the Avon factory closes on December 31st

I have applied for a V5C for my latest Classic, a 1949 Ferguson TED 20. I have just received a letter from a lady in the “DVLA Central Capture Unit”

Hi Thomas,

I've just PP'd you for 3 x Wall hanging calendars.
Many thanks for this and all the other work that you do for us through the year.

Cheers!

Yes - been there!
You don’t notice the fine scratches until you drive at night and then have to try to find your way through the brightly illuminated spider’s web!

I have had one of the silver Bosch coils on our CDI equipped 914/6 for more than 10 years and it’s been OK - so far!

For early Porsche CDI you need the proper Bosch coil.

Did you check the ignition timing and re-set it if necessary after adjusting the points?

I could do with another bucketful of adrenaline like this just now!

My uncle had the bigger Allis Chalmers WF that came over in 1942 on the American Lend-Lease scheme. It was the only tractor on his farm until the early 1960’s
