DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Silverline in Warwick are used to dealing with Motorsport tyres and wheels. Never had a problem with my alloys with them. Jerry

Mike, You are quite right. In fact the 88db(A) measured at 2.0m equates to 100db(A) at 0.5m in the blue book table. That is at 4500rpm The method of measurement needs to be fully defined. My 2.7 engine passes the 98db(A) at 0.5m requirement for road rally at 2/3max rpm!! Mind it helps when the scrut...

Phil, I have been using Vredstein Classic 185/70 x 15 for regularity rallying. The reason for the choice was a combination of I have to use 70 profile for MSA events/cost/availability of a tyre that must cope with mud, wet and dry and tarmac and graval surfaces. I now have experience of running on a...

Stephen,
Yes it does. Thanks

Do you back up your pc onto an external drive? If so do you include outlook in your back up? Providing you do all you have to do is go into your external drive and you should find the contacts there. Not to hi jack your thread but I have a query as I am thinking about getting an iphone. If you sync ...

Andrew, This subject is an ongoing saga as the bottom line is the MSA rules do not allow anybody running 15inch wheels for Historic Road Rally a decent selection of road rally tyres. (70 profile the minimum allowable) I have written on this topic before so my apologies if I am repeating previous inf...

The issue I supect would be that winter tyres would be a bit like wets in F1 they would eventually overheat in hotter conditions. This would lead to high tyre wear and lack of grip. I have run knobbly tyres on dry tarmac when rallying and found that whilst they grip quite well to start with they do ...

This just proves that you need a different rubber compound to work at lower temperatures, it is not just about tread pattern. When Colway Tyres were still going I know they used to produce a batch of tyres for events like the Historic Monte, same traed pattern just a better low temperature compound....

I remember years ago up in the Lake District watching the RAC rally. A proper event as it was intended to be. We got out of the car and fell over it was so icy. We walked into the forest halway up this hill covered in frozen snow. The sight of Hannu Mikola in a Full House MKII Escort with his foot f...

I agree with Nick, I have 4wd, adjustable centre differential and 300BHP. Great fun in the snow, lots of traction even with standard road tyres but when it comes to stopping on ice I am no better than anybody else. I just wish some of these 4x4 drivers would understand that. If we got this weather m...

According to the 2010 entry list the car on Piston Heads is the one he is down to use. He won Tour Brittannia in another car a 911 3.0RS (yellow) which I belive is also up for sale. Quite possible the car in the video was sold.

The green Porsche I believe was Sean Lockyear who has an entry for 2010. This event is similar to events such as Boucles de Spa where they have two categories, competition, where the average speed is set to 80km/h and regularity where the average speed is set to 50km/h. The big difference to UK even...

Sorry all, I would have liked to come as I thought it about time I meet up with the DDK crowd but unfortunately I have a funeral to go to near Bristol earlier in the day and cannot make it. The Porsche needs a good outing too!!
Another time.
Jerry

Tim, I used to have all my cars classic and modern, including my old Subaru Forester XT covered by Footman James. They turned their nose up at the 911, probably the fact it was competition prepared did not help. Because I belonged to the HRCR I found out about Richard Egger Insurance who did a famil...

Mike, My shell is a 1972 with a standard front and widened rear arches. (RS Replica) The 7inch Minilites are part of my rally wheel set and go on the rear. On MSA road events I use 6 inch all round. (It is the widest wheel width allowed) I use 6 inch on the front with 7inch rear for non MSA events. ...
