DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

... I think I'd tire of a fully roll caged car with harnesses, fire extinguishers etc., highly strung engine, and deafening exhaust, for road use. Sounds ideal to me ! The most enjoyment I get from driving a car is one that has no creature comforts (apart from a comfortable/supportive seat) & d...

Andy, I notice yours has had a 'buttress change' since you owned it... Yes - surprised at that because the car was a very rare early version that several other Montecarlo owners told me didn't exist - a RHD model with 'solid' buttresses. As for the driving experience, I wasn't impressed (although t...

Spotted at the recent Italian Car Day at Brooklands - my old Montecarlo :

I can't seem to find any mention of this - & I know several on here have purchased their wheels - but I wondered if Group 4 Wheels offer DDK members a discount ?

Did the gauge on your car look like mine? I believe there are more than one type. Mine was a 'C' (& also 12v) but the gauge was almost identical - differing only by having 2 additional warning lights in the centre circle. There were many versions of this combi gauge - some with numbers for the ...

. I seem to remember there were 2 different temp sensors which acted in different ways - one increased in resistance as the temp went up & the other decreased. It could be that you have the wrong version fitted. Also new 6v temp sensors weren't available for some time & used originals comman...

That's a great shame Gary - how far did you get/at what stage did the problem arise ?
