DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

James, did you have in-car footage of your little off-piste expedition around Indianapolis in 2006? I only caught it from quite a long way back. Good times but I think I've ticked that box now too and wouldn't risk it again.

I don't know if anyone here's interested but a group of mates of mine left yesterday in 9x Porsche 944's to drive from Berkhamsted Herts to Nordkapp, the northernmost point of Norway ( and hence Europe) to get there by the summer solstice (saturday). Its a long way, nearly 3000 miles in 3 days. They...

very, very nice. I'm a newbie to the world of Guzzis, just about to push the button on a new(ish) V7 so have been reading up on them. That one is lovely.

I took the day off today to surprise my missus on her birthday but she'd arranged a big lunch party with her mates. So, I had the day pretty much to myself except for the school runs. I'd been building a mix in my head for a while for my skiing snowboarding trip and finally had the time to crank up ...

No such luck. I've waited outside that house for months on end but the curtains are always shut. Glad she got that Porsche, finally something to get hot under the collar about. Not really my type. Pete Doherty

I happened to see this car parked outside her house this morning. Its got an E reg plate. (88 or 89?, can't remember).

I went to school with Kate Moss. No, really…!

I've spent a small fortune on Sonos and its always letting me down. 1. When I run the app on my mac it can't find my system. 2. It stops for no reason. 3. I can't play music from itunes folder for no apparent reason (mac sharing issue?) 4. It only does the above when I am entertaining guests. to try...

I know its a long shot but I can't make it to this now - school commitments. I know most on here are of a certain age so maybe someone would be interested. Face value of the tickets is £50, I'll consider offers! Tickets are in Hackney right now, I can meet up later in central London if anyone's inte...

Verbier 2012. Going nowhere without chains.

Shipping by sea is very safe

I have a container with £100k of goodson it adrift in the Indian Ocean right now. On board the ship MOL Comfort. Google it and see pics of the largest container ship failure ever. My goods are replaceable, I feel for those with goods on board that aren't.

Probably the master cylinder. Not an expensive part and not too hard to replace. Buy Land Rover though because I've used 2 Britpart ones in the past and they've both failed very quickly. Can't see why it would jump out of gear though, it should stay in gear quite happily. Now its been recovered can ...

I stayed at the Best Western Premier Park Consul a few years ago. Not particularly central but cheap, nice and if I remember rightly they had underground parking but I was in my Land Rover so was too high to test it out.

I can't remember what the tyres were in the photo but they were the standard issue for 2005 Defenders. I changed them for Mud Terrains last year and had a terrible time in the snow in Switzerland last winter. Had to have the chains on all the time :drunken: . When cash allows I'm going back to an al...

Defender Snow Stories? Police asked me to go past the traffic jam and help two artics that were stuck on a gentle incline on a dual carriageway. This was the second. They were both going to an M&S depot and promised me a hamper, I never got it :evil: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/tanick...
