DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just read your thread from start to finish (not on the same day!), wow what a journey, your car’s fantastic, love everything about it, must feel so good to be out driving it after all of that hard work, very inspirational, reminds me I need to get a move on and get mine resurrected from its long ter...
