DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Nice enough to drive, but I found the lack of decent torque a bit of a let down when I borrowed my sister in law's for a weekend. Did use a lot of oil as well.

Here's one from me...



Cheers, Ross.

Thanks Darren. Bloody sodding rust!

Thanks for the feedback guys - all very helpful. Never having driven any 911 except my T, I think I should probably take a 997 for a test and see how that feels before going down the 993 route as a daily driver. I just don't like thought of all that liquid in the engine, just doesn't seem right some...

Yes, subtle as well as practical!

Heating/demisters I can cope with, bits falling off from rust I couldn't

How's the bodywork on yours held up over the years? Also, I presume 25mpg is about as good as I could expect?

I'm toying with the idea of getting a 993 as an every day car. It would have to live on the drive and would probably do about 200 miles a week. Ideally I want a '97 Carrera 2 S manual although they seem to be getting hard to get hold of now. Are these practical as a daily car these days? How rust fr...

Picasa is really excellent, both the desktop software (works with Windows and Macs) and the web based service. I think I pay Google about $20 per year for 80GB of space to sync all my photos to as well.

More than welcome to use it if it's good enough Definitely getting it blown up and up on a wall somewhere anyhow.

I'm no expert so trust me it takes no skill! All my pics are stored in Google Picasa and all I did was use the built in editing tool in their web interface to crop it, auto-fix the colours and apply their standard 'Lomo-ish' filter effect (that effect seems to suit the car's age quite nicely). It di...

Couldn't help myself editing one of my shots from above...

Finally managed to get the car out in to Wales for a decent run yesterday early morning, here's a couple of quick pics from a road just off the 'EVO triangle'. Was so quiet i even managed to take the pics on the correct side of the road! https://dl.dropbox.com/s/vkkfjn3ftjmz1um/Photo%2011-08-2012%20...

I'd like to try and build up a tool kit to go with the car replicating as closely as possible the original kit that the car would have had.

I guess I'm clutching at straws, but if anyone does have any items, I'd be interested in them!

Cheers, Ross.

Yep, good point. Will have to pick myself up a fire extinguisher asap.

Phew, panic over. Was a fueling problem caused by a loose clip on a fuel line. Jonny goes up in my estimation for owning up to it being a human error. Probably also explains the stink of fuel I was getting in the garage. The sun is shining and I'm going to get up early on Saturday and drive the damn...
