DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Oh yes, plenty of those happenings in my hobbies!
I think anyone who do these kinds of things have such irritations come along...

You should have seen me fighting to put the trailer onto the Skoda yesterday.

Good weekend hillclimbing in the Lola, but Clive broke his Empire race car on Saturday, and returned on Sunday with this, a Bib Block Ford 427 Cobre. Certainly brightened up the paddock, sound was unreal: https://i.postimg.cc/50qHtx4H/IMG-2186.jpg And to top it off in another part of the paddock The...

Not me, but I know someone who has one with that mod and it was transformed.

Blow by blow report expected!

If your 1/4" drive has a 'wobble' end to it, the smaller socket and that feature will make life much better and ensure you nip the parts together evenly.

It's an impressive wrap for sure, looks great in the sun.
I saw some pictures Jonathan today!!
Cricky!

I replaced those nuts with K type nuts, flanged at one end, but M6 / 10mm AF. This allows a smaller socket on a 1/4" entention etc to do them up etc. on the LOLA carb manifolds where I have less space than you! They are copper plated too so resistant to corrosion, even cheap for a special faste...

Hill climb at Loton Park this weekend, lots of Porsches there.

Possibly of interest, but this is my 3.2 on the last rolling road run when it was about 10 miles old, absolutely fresh engine, so we were careful.

Please turn the sound up when watching, but the car drives like the engine sounds.

Cold start is a bit of a churning slog. By this I mean pump the throttle hard a few times and turn it over and keep tying for about 10 secs. It will catch but is hard to keep it running, but soon it will be consistent inside of a minute. When fully warm it is very drivable. It also hot starts thrott...

Yes Neil, that’s him.
All cool calm and collected approach.
Not a new kid on the block.

I have a hot 3.2 on big PMO 50mm carbs, twin plug etc. For the final tune I used a very local RR who deal with about everything 4 wheeled, modern to classics. They are in Dudley West Midlands, so no good for you. Bainbridge would be a great choice i think. Many are put off by PMO carbs, but one they...

That is a lot of work! Looked and posted my reply last night, but seems out of order, operator error i expect. Get that other sill done! Shim number all depends on the belt when new or when 'run-in' and a bit stretched. Must admit I've never needed to re shim a new belt from installation to renewal,...

Seat back pivot pin and rail?

Fire extinguisher bracket in front of the seat?
Please not a cup holder!
