DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just a heads up at the moment, but the Cape to Cape organizers are hoping to run a seventh tour in May next year. Route still not completely decided, but could end at Cape Finisterre (Spain), starting from Cape Cornwall. Carolyn and I shall be taking part, again raising funding for Macmillan Cancer ...

Just a thought:

I had similar concerns in October just before the Norwich Union MSA Classic. By chance discovered that the gasket surrounding the petrol tank sender was soaked in petrol. Changed gasket...no further smells.

Did not have exhaust smoke, though!

I've used F-J since 1999 and had no issues...even with a full roll cage installed in the Imp!

Covers me for all rallies on public roads, UK and Europe. Unlimited mileage.

£145.

Never been able to get anywhere near this premium from anyone else! (But been driving cars and lorries since 1962)

Thanks for your quick response... it's a 1966 912?!! At the moment it runs ok but have to set timing more advanced than it should be or it stalls, even when warm and has a flat spot at hign revs!! That's exactly what happened to me on the recent Poppy Rally. Timing had retarded and then needed adva...

Thanks for that response. We tried 1,3 and 4 at the ferry port but got nowhere. hen we gave up, had a coffee, and were towed onto the ferry by P&O! I'll have a chat with the garage once I get the car back...considering I've just paid a Porsche specialist a shed load of money to cure this problem...

As a member of HRCR, and rallier to boot, I can heartily recommend this course for beginners and novices. It is pitched at just the right level and if you turn up as a driver with no navigator, the course instructors will team you up with a navigator for the afternoon run. And then, should you wish ...

During last weekend's Poppy Rally in Belgium the engine started to pop and bang and misfire. Loss of revs on acceleration. Nasty. Highly experienced rally service guru readjusted timing (had retarded itself after about 500 miles from rebuild and replacement of parts) and points. All went extremely w...

Many thanks...my researches have come up with 027/2525 for the Coupe model. Halfords's paint computer comes up with 027/R.

1973 year...but I suppose that could be the 1974 year if after August '73.

Interestingly the Targa ref is 027/2510.

I'd be interested, too.

has anyone any idea what the correct paint reference number is for Guards Red? I need some top up paint for the odd (!) patch of rust that I am about to remove.

Or, failing that, from whom I can purchase said paint?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Oh dear, I'm just about to get rid of my 20 year old TV set. But I've still got my 32 year old Black and White one!

Still, the rest of your comments are extremely apposite.

In a word...'No'.

I'm watching this saga with growing amazement at just what can be done with knowledge and space. I would be totally lost...and a wee bit apprehensive, if the truth be known. I'd never have the courage to do anything like that... But I am trying to get a restoration enterprise off the ground up here ...

You'll have to be quick, there are already 56 entries...

Updated 26 Feb.

Supplementary Regulations now out. Closing date for entries is now 6 March...so you have time to get your name down.

Good luck.

I know this is a bit late, but: The Three Castles is an excellent event run over three days in wet Wales. It is made up of regularity sections as well as tests on private land. A good introduction for novices...but the experts amongst the entry will always be of help. Have I done it? No, it's quite ...
