DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

MoT for the 911 today.
Been going to this old skhool village garage since 1993.

Young test lad could not find the light switch.

Passed, but a mention of the NS rear anti roll bar drop link bushing was a bit slack, driver's side perfect.

Gave both a good mauling about and both seem tight. Best jack the rear up and test again with no load on the roll bar.

Drove lovely in the bright sun....

We got there for 9.45 ish and queued for around 30mins. I know one of the guys with a 930 turbo went home as a steward told him 2.5 hours, that was around 11am. I think the trick is to beat the general public, which opens at 10am. If you're still interested next year let me know. You can come on our stand. Display cars were leaving from 12, so nobody was enforcing the no leave before a certain time rule.

Facebook reminding me of when I tried to clean up my 912 engine bay

I drove onto a boat

Polished a couple of body panels, then gave up as too warm and boring.

Drove to Barmouth for a nice breakfast. Then came home! Car was awesome.

Pulled the orange out of Historit and went for a drive in the sunshine to Woodstock for lunch via Greatworth whereupon another Tangerine LHD ‘72 S appeared as if on cue (new customer for @camperco) but stupidly forgot to take a picture of them nose to tail. Doh!

Drove to Spain. As you do.

Took mine up Prescott speed Hillclimb and also let my Dad have his first drive in it, literally climbed in the drivers seat for the first time and went straight up the hill,

Was Classics at Prescott, simple name but was a good event, not timed, just have a run up the hill however you want. Let my dad have the 2nd run as tickets were birthday present for him, so wanted him to get back on track for first time since he retired.

Oh and it was yesterday not today, I failed to click submit on the post last night

Removed the remaining parts of the US fuel tank recirculating/venting system !






The black plastic expansion tank will be cleaned/repaired & refitted using new PVC tubing - & taking the opportunity to convert the system to the simpler ROW version (which doesn't 'recirculate' the vapours & hence does away with the charcoal canister ...

I polished and greased my balls



Having already pulled the diff out…


Trying to find a noise that cut my Euro trip short!

I wondered why you had been so silent!
Change all the bearings and re-shim?

That's a great shame Gary - how far did you get/at what stage did the problem arise ?
