Re: The Great Big DDK Meet of 2024!!!

I wish I could be there, but on the summer family holiday. But wanted to say well done for organising something. Much appreciated.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Went to a breakfast meet organised by York OPC. Nice turnout and was interesting to see these 2 opposite end of the spectrum cars parked next to each other

Re: The DDK Nationals

The only issue with the Scramble is that its a ticket event that sells out quickly, so you may not get everyone there, and unless we could get a dedicated parking area, people are going to be all over the place meaning actually meeting up is more difficult. What about an air museum? As an example th...

Re: Wing Mirror fitment

If you are considering fitting two Durants I personally would not bother. One on the driver's side is fine. Passenger side, on the other hand, is a waste of time in my experience. The Durant mirror does not articulate sufficiently to get good reward vision on the passenger side even locating it in ...

Re: Harry's Garage video and the Electric Car in detail

I watched that too, I like Harry's take on things, he tries to remain unbiaised, but does give you his view on his real world experience. Same with his farm videos, how it can make more financial sense to not grow edible crops in a farm because of the way Government subsidies work is beyond me.

Re: porsche vid. of the day

Demo video of Moggie's 912 electric conversion out in Wales. https://youtu.be/sRAP6TgfNXA Although it looks like a great job and the kit is bolt in so should avoid the DVLA issue I still don't get it. Whats the cost of this plus install? £80k and with all Moggy's installs, unless something has chan...

I've got a TT exhaust on my TypeIV, had it 8 years. Check out his website loads of examples of what you can have on there.

Re: Wing Mirror fitment

The Talbot Berlin has some fore /aft adjustment to the fixing so should be OK for your purposes. interesting the repro's don't. In the end I went for Durants, I was close between them and Talbot style and the price difference is huge and my preference wasn't. Still yet to fit them, a job before spr...

Re: Wing Mirror fitment

Sorry Andy, yes you are right they are both on the doors. Just automatically call them wing mirrors.

Nige, no nothing welded up, its a narrow body G model with the larger stainless stell / chrome mirrors. Passenger one I had put on years ago, the drivers is the original.

Wing Mirror fitment

Morning, i've asked this over on Impact Bumpers because my car is a g body backdate (912E) but not had much help. Does anyone know if the holes are the same for chrome flag mirrors and durant? And if they are the same for talbot berlins? I am fancying a change of mirror, and like the round glass mir...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

I haven't driven my 912E since mid november and boxster since mid december. We have lots of flooding around here and with no reason to drive other than for pleasure they've sat put on a trickle charger. Fingers crossed we get a window with drier weather before the roads need to be salted again.
