Great to meet up with you and your friends Feroz, and thanks for taking it easy so I could keep up!

It was such a shame as we were in some great roads and he had a wheel bearing failure. Car was going great guns until then and we had a lot of fun. He got plenty of abuse from a bunch of Porsche owners ....... in Germany.

Really good to meet you too and I loved your car Darren. Beautifully finished and it really goes well - couldn't shake you despite my best efforts!

Yeah, right!


Now that Photobucket is playing ball again….one that I missed from my Friday batch….possibly the most loved car on DDK and despite what Magnus may say, Sladey was first with HIS 'signature' drilled door handles, flared lower rear front fenders with brake cooling duct and cut-away rear torsion hole mod…..OUTLAW!

Fantastic picture, just about sums the trip up nicely...

some great photos

wish we were all still out there

Me too!

I still am

All very kind stuff and I love the picture - my daughter says it should be my facebook pic. And just to be clear I copied the drilled door handles from a pic on the web about 6 years ago

I was only being nice so you don't sue me!

Saturday AM……Black Mountains drive ….

…first a photo I've been waiting to take for some time …



...quite a sight through the street of Baden Baden…



…and on to a sea of green…















…photo call…





…an image that says it all …



…was it me or did Ian keep glaring at me?



…awesome roads…







…another photo stop…





…and yet more great roads…Sanjay kept forgetting they drive on the right in Germany! ..

















..going up was superb, coming down even more interesting…after suffering serious brake fade down a long steep straight into a sharp left turn, I commented that I had to stop using my brakes as they were getting too hot!…Brian didn't think it was the best idea I ever had!

Great fun!

Never let it be said that I discriminate, Irish, English, Dutch, German, French flies are all fair game!

Tempted to leave it like that for a while there must be some genuine Stuttgart flies on there somewhere

Great photos of the Black Mountains run on Saturday Darren - not the view that Lesley and I had in our 964 as we did the route round the other way (don't ask!). Your fast down bits were our steep climbs up!. Great route all the same.

A brilliant trip which we both enjoyed, meeting new friends and some old ones (well not so old). A big thanks to James for putting the trip on and from Brian at 1st-Tickets for sorting all the hotels and crossings - and for fitting us in at the last moment.

964 Carrera 4

Great pics Darren

Super pictures Darren - looks really brilliant.

Not sure if this is some sort of record but its been six days since I have eaten a schnitzel.
