DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

As ever it was all over far too quickly. We decided to leave (some say split )on Sunday Lunchtime and head back to Reims...







Phew, I am not the only one...



Some messy blighters ...

Until the next time Boys and Girls...





Cheers
Chris

Looks like myself and Mrs Hig got back on the Chunnel before all of the commotion

Some of my pers pics from the weekend ...

Great light the first evening...
Sleepy Porsches ...











I think this may be the Speedster that had the stack on the Sunday ... no ??
Here in even heavier traffic ...The Gendarm on the roundabout in the circuit wasnt paricularly effective and spent most of the time posing for photos



Heres a less fatal spin on Saturday in the night racing... Open top 908 I think

Loved the Pits ...
Theres not a lot of car here when its open ...


2.0L


This was having rear suspension adjusted . Ran really well that evening.


Porsche Paddock




Heres the view of the campsite on Sunday am ...almost all tents packed up when the torrent hit
If you strain you can work out how many ddkrs you can fit in 2 sq m




One of the best outcomes of the week was the conversion of a new classic car spotter in Mrs Hig ...On the road all the way back to Calais ..."Whats this one we're coming up on ? ....Healey ....no ...I take it back ...a Morgan" ....and she seemed genuinely upset not seeing troves of classics once we arrived in Folkestone
...maybe I should buy another project ... and then again ...maybe I should finish one first

So I'm here in Seattle, reflecting on a brilliant weekend - Chris, loved your video....great to catch up with everyone.

Here are a few snaps from me









Style guru's wardrobe / laundry. Innovative use of roll-cage






The view from my tent....





Scooptastic....



Patina.....

I wondered what you were doing with 'La brique jaune' and now I know - takes a good picture that yellow brick.

Anyone know this car? Look at sticker in rear window - ding dong kinky?

This is the point I'd already packed and was at Super U filling up, oddly our motivation for walking back in to the track plummetted somewhat and we made the break for home!

In the end a lucky call based on the tunnel carnage we would have joined on Monday

Yes, that's Darren's car - he (and friends (Blue IROC and Yellow widebody) was/were camped opposite us but in Brian's posh bit.

Yes but within an hour it had stopped raining and the afternoon was sunny for the racing

Shame I didn't catch up with you Gary - I probably stepped over you in the pits

We assumes the weather continued as the heavy rain managed to follow us all the way to Calais without letting off once!

who's the poor bgger on the right trying to get away....?

Our gimp. He was worried about fulfilling his 'duties' later

Don't remember seeing you the pink jacket or the sky blue slacks you purchased from that stall Bootsy??? are they for best???

hmmm.... so, is this the "grooming" that I read so much about in the Daily Mail?
exactly where is your left hand? and who have you got locked up in that changing room behind you? That cheeky look on Parr's face tells a story or two and its remarkable that he can still sit down....
