DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I tried this last week following a link from Pisonheads. Sat clicking for some time (favouring the classics in the main naturally), but don't think the choices ever end. Eventually I got bored and gave up! Good to see my car in the top ten (presently no 6) and I've got quite a soft spot for the 993,...

BTW - rather lovely pic to download on Pistonheads: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=19522

One of mine from the Hurlingham last year

Well the Bosch Silver 3F in my RS is showing signs of giving up.
I don't think Bosch make the 3F any longer.
So what is the general concensus on choice?
Its a LWT BTW so only 1 battery

Breaking the law is breaking the law, but are you really comparing a minor speeding indiscression, in the OPs case on a wide open non-urban road to GBH

I got done on a completely deserted stretch of dual carriageway on the A303 recently. The problem with these vans is that they don't take into consideration conditions / traffic levels / visibility...etc I got 3 points for 85mph on an empty, dry, well surfaced dual carriageway with excellent visibil...

Peter - I'm pretty sure the Smarts with periscope cameras are for monitoring dodgy / illegal parking around schools...etc
As long as you didn't park on the ZigZags at the kids school you should be OK!

I'm a big jaguar fan - have a very early E-type and a MkII in the garage, and love the XKR. But the Jonathon Palmer XKRs aren't exactly as they came off the dealer forecourt! Stripped out interior, lowered and stiffened suspension, uprated brakes...etc That said it is where my hypothetical 40k would...

Lots of fun to be had there!
A couple of mine:

Does the horn work? Hazards and horn share same fuse? (No 2)
Also ISTR there is a separate relay for the hazards behind the scuff plate by the pedals.

Offer of a ride always open Graham - though I guess the weather will be mosly against us now 'Summer' is over
Actually the RS did a couple of trips to Ridgway Towers when we were doing my engine, but not sure you were around. Peter seemed to like it though!

Would have worked if you'd just remembered the first square bracket

Graham - fancy seeing you here!!!
The Fairmile meet isn't too far from you. 3rd Wed of the month. Good turn out of old Pork if the weather is OK.

Clacking noise does sound strange. Assuming you've had the rocker covers off and checked all seems well there? Does the noise change with revs? The compression test certainly points to the rings rather than valves. Otherwise I had a mate who had a strange cluncking / clacking noise and found a few s...
