Re: New blood ....

Hi Drew, I think we may have spoken on the phone a while ago - either that or someone told me about you .... Memory isn't brilliant.


It would be good to get the Surrey, Sussex and London based 356 people up to the Fairmile meet at some point in the coming months.

74 PORSCHE 914 - cal import, project.

I have a 74 914, Cal import, all duties paid, Nova cert etc present. The car looks terrible, but is in fact probably the most sound and rust free 914 I have ever had !

964 RS - info needed

Odd post of the day - can anyone remember the vendors details for that rubystone RS with the 2 vin numbers? bit of a strange request, but I know the DDKers like to keep tabs on later stuff from time to time.

I am an expert in leaving polish residue on cars and it could have been cleaned by someone with similar skills. I would assume a ...
