DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

So sad to hear this. Such a great guy, always had a friendly greeting a a good word - even when I hadn't seen him for a couple of years.

Much of this is very depressing! Yes EV's will be significant as general transport BUT the current state of the technology means until it's done over 76K km EV's are less 'climate friendly' than petrol cars (see the lifecycle assessment by Polestar). Huge strides are being made in both synthetic fue...

A 'might have been' fabulous noise. Coventry Climax 1.5 flat 16 on the test bench. Complete engine rebuild required every 3 hrs... https://primotipo.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/60ea16e5-933c-41d5-9954-62098ef4dc91.jpeg Shame it never happened!

Gwagen are marvellous things- if a bit bling now! Had three of them over the years, 280GE, 300GL, 500GE. The latter got hit up the back by a transit that pushed it into an artic, was still able to drive it home. Would have it now if it hadn't taken a year to get dome of the few parts that needed rep...

Gentle folk, many good words spoken above but: remember Gordon Brown and "All cars will be diesel within 10 years". Politicians will always leap on the first headline grabbing idea, it may be half finished (or half thought out) better solutions may be on the horizon but the response is alw...

Happy day!

Well done Keith

This could be the most significant threat to old cars since ...

Alas ClassicLine won't quote unless I have a classic insured with them. Still looking, Mannings still ahead.

Intriguing idea but apparently "we can't quote you yet"!

I know there are others on here owning one of Porsches trucks so I was wondering who do you go for insurance. Our 955 turbo is up for renewal at the end of the month and as mileage is now under 5k a year I wonder if I can get it on some sort of classic policy?

I'm still trying to downsize and rationalise the contents of my garage, quite bit of space is occupied by books and magazines (it's that sort of garage). So in these somewhat odd times an offer: I have Excellence magazines from 1 - 250 + the two supplements all in magazine files, this is a wonderful...

Great piece from Andrew Frankel here https://www.goodwood.com/grr/columnists ... ts-friday/

Just found out about this, an architect of much of Porsche’s golden age, road and race.
