DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

This year’s annual road trip took in the NC500 again, slightly different route and chose to go up the East Coast and come down the West. Have to say I think I preferred the more scenic roads on the last day, as against the drudgery of the A9. Probably some of the worst weather I have ever driven in and the added bonus of torrential rain is a huge amount of loose debris on the roads - gravel rash / stone chips galore. I try to not look too closely.
Tremendous few days with the usual dip in some cold water.

I'm sure you could take pictures of a visit to the local council 'dump' & make it look like an epic not-to-be-missed trip ...

Wonderful evocative pictures as always - thanks for posting.

So true

Thanks for the fab pictures Tom.

Great pictures Tom.

I was just explaining to Feroz on another thread about the Scottish weather. He’s off to the Alps instead.

i love the west coast roads

Still one of my most memorable drives was in my old 993 Cabrio, roof down blasting up and beyone applecross with a few other ddk'ers. Having done that route a few times in different cars ..... a soft top 911 just seemed to make it that bit more of an event.

I'll run the 964 up there again at some point. Can't help think a nice early 986 boxster would be perfect car for those roads & that scenery

Similar topic on Boxster forum on PCGB.
Recent trip in a Boxster, driver said you need a top down car to allow the scenery to really make a presence in the trip.
Love to do it in mine, but wife not keen.

His pictures are always irritatingly good!

I particularly like the rear view of 993 with 991 in front. Cracking photo!

Bloke on left has been skipping leg day.

Still would tho.

You ‘would’ most

Fair.

Thanks everyone.

Superb pictures.

Interesting re the comments about this type of drive in a convertible (although not in that weather!) I drove the Ring of Kerry recently in a coupe and decided that next time it would need to be roof down in the Boxster.

Scottish weather, much of the trip was like this.
