DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I’m surprised CC aren’t on top of it more. At the end of the day suppressed sale prices won’t do them any favours. Or is it a fixed commission model.

If you suspected that you might get the same comments would you submit your car for sale with them.?

Don't forget that flexible brake lines do degrade and swell internally. Then they don't release the pressure at the caliper when you release the pedal. Tends to be ok when cold and gets progressively worse as the car and brakes heat up. Been there.

I’ve not looked into what RD is doing here, but is it any different to a heritage mini or MGB shell?

Thankyou. Had a run out in a new Kia yesterday. Very impressive but obviously not in budget.

This is why I had "tighten your wheel nuts" tattooed on the inside of my eye lids. MIne was a type3 fastback I bought from a total t*sser in Wigan. He had taken 8 wheel bolts from it for his beach buggy leaving 2 per wheel under the hubcaps. When I got the tinkle tinkle crunch noise and an...

Morning all and a happy new year. Over the holidays I visited my brother in law who has a new model3. It was a bit of an eye opener frankly.

I have to admire a man who accessorises with his environment.

Like camouflage, only less itchy.

I'm also banning males over the age of 14 from wearing half mast trousers with no socks and pink suede loafers or mocassins. And don't get me started on those who leave the brand label on the sleeve of their suit jacket to show you what they are wearing.
