DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

The Dolomites were stunning..such a different character to the Austrian Alps…. https://i.postimg.cc/50jgCfK8/2ad5fe04-0f80-48f4-bcc7-1abcc5feedb1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/qq3G1jTR/5950c6f4-39c1-453c-b4b9-a2518758333d.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/G2NQP66V/2464303d-d82b-46ae-adba-3d090e6f1d5b.jpg

Hard work getting up at 05.30 after the night before….but worth it beyond any question…..roll on panorama…..



This one was actually taken by Richard…

Thanks guys, all seems okay now

Ever so slightly out of sequence…thanks to Postimage site being down for a couple of hours….this one was that first days line up….using the Panoramic phone approach….soon to become commonplace…as you will see why ..

Hi all

Trying to upload pictures this evening but the site isn’t responding….anyone else had a similar issue today….recently with them….?

Day 1 sure was a boring slog along Belgian roads..Germany improved matters somewhat..too many road works but tons of sunshine..sobering calculation at first fuel top up we me having achieved a mighty impressive 17.1 mpg….!..motorway cruising…. :shock: :lol: ..with 2,000 miles to go and the odd hill ...

Agreed..the main problem is the mileage indicator which is sometimes and usually but not always stuck……so I need to get that done..as the engine has been re-built I want to get it re-set as well

Excellent
Many thanks Gitesh

Have you installed the plastic tube which guides the fuel flap wire already….its a bitch to do so when the wing….and the door is on….ask me how I know…

Could one of you guys post Hans Peters contact details please….my speedo bounces around 30mph too….and the tachometer is not working….having had the engine rebuilt I need to get it re-set to zero as well….

Many thanks
Jonathan

600 should really be enough I would have thought..?….it’s only 4 cylinders….but but 815 will definitely be more reassuring…..

I had issues recently with the E Type which having a big heavy engine needs high cranking power for start up..so I bought an AGM type Optima as it was rated at 715 CCA compared to what the limited space in the car would provide with a traditional Lead Acid battery I don’t think the Ah rating is that...

Hi guys

I need a spare CDI please…preferably with serial number 001 or possibly 006 please
Appearance not so important…must be fully functional though please

All the best
Jonathan

Wot he said…….dont sell the car Kirk…you need it so we can keep enjoying the write ups….
