DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

It’s been a while. Loads of sailing maybe, but also actually driving the SC. There are a few things that I want to do, like change the oil and repair a slight front spoiler doorstep interface issue, but job 1 is to replace the starter solenoid. On the odd occasion the starter just doesn’t engage, na...

I applaud the Board's attempt to understand better (no splitting my infinitives here) the members wants and needs, but IMHO, the 'organisation' is trying to cover too wide a base, and my fairly specific interests (restori...

Still looking ….

All of my family’s car insurances renew this month. All have gone up 50% with Direct Line and they can’t / won’t do anything with their quotes, even when I said I could get cheaper. However, when I could quote a specific cheaper (MoneySuperMarket online) quote with my X1 and they pretty much matched...
