DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

My most recent car sewing job, for a Karmann Ghia.

Hey Rob, check that the thread is pulled in-between the two plates, and not running around the outside.
A walking foot machine would be a lot better for what you're trying to do.

I am in awe of such knowledge and skill.

First time I have seen that suggested. I like it.
It would definitely clear things up, and negate any argument that Hamilton was robbed.

All this hinting at retirement because it didn't go their way for once strikes me more as being the "I not playing anymore and I'm taking the ball home" attitude.

Interesting how polarised this is, as I completely agree with Knapmann's summary. Lewis really had the run of the green all year, without which Max would have had it won earlier. I also wonder how controversial it would have seemed had we not been able to hear Masi's faffing around, and also the com...

There is an argument that they should have all been let through, and yes its a fair point, but it in no way would have affected the end result.

Should anyone on the south coast need the same or similar help feel free to get in touch with me. We make sails and covers for boats so have suitable machines.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the replies.
From a little further research you're both spot on. The later post 73 VWs used a 18mm diameter fine spline column which was also used in several Porsches. As mine is pre 73 they won't fit.
