Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

The two front cars are Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. KKV 394 was Russel Brookes 1981 RAC car, so the picture is probably around that period.

Re: The DDK Nationals

Sorry guys, 10/11 August is one of the biggest events in the British Hillclimb Championship at Shelsley Walsh.
We'll be there, if anyone is looking for something different to do on Sunday 11th. :)

Re: Frazer Nash/BMW 319

Wonderful story Jeremy! It's amazing the interesting people that you meet through our hobby, It's as much about the people as it is the cars.
You must take it up to Bo'ness some time for their Revival weekend, they would be delighted.
I look forward to seeing the BMW sometime soon!!

Re: The DDK Nationals

If you want an event to hang a Yorkshire DDK day (or weekend) around, how about the British Championship Hillclimb at Harewood on 6/7th July? It also has a round of the PCGB Speed Championship, so there will be plenty of Porsche interest, including ourselves in the BHC Cup hopefully. There's plenty ...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

I presume that the seller isn't talking about the South-West of England. Either that or he/she doesn't get out much, the South-west is full of hillclimb and sprint courses ...............
