DDK is 20 this year !!!

[hot66]

Seems to have gone under the radar slightly .. but its DDK's 20th year .. James' post on the CLM thread made me realise

20years since a random group of people got together and a forum / group was created for what was at the time ' just old Porsches' according to PCGB

DDK .. not a club as such, but somewhere for pre73 porsche fans to hang and meet . All these years later and we're all still having meet up s / drives / trips etc and sharing the love .

I think its time for a t-shirt & or sticker .. especially on the back of 100 years of LeMans and another DDK CLM trip looming.

Anyone good at designing and producing ?

In the spirit of this 20 year thread .. lets have some photos of great moments from 2003 -2023

As a relative latecomer it'd be good to secure the lagacy of the founding DDK Faces with an origin story. Before memories become too hazy...

I would have been 30 years old when I joined back then!

Well done for bringing this to the fore James - we do indeed turn 20 in early November of this year.

Apologies for the lack of content and ideas for our 20th celebration - life has been taking over my Porsche-based enjoyment of late but yes, we need to mark it!

We had a wonderful thread sharing our memories of the first 10 years. Have a read. They'll be some missing images and broken links but it will give you a flavour of back then viewtopic.php?t=45641

We also made sure that we marked the occasion of the 10th anniversary by raising £10,000 in that year and have continued to raise money - our Just Giving Page is just under £37K now! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ddk10kfor10years

Plus with other karting and giveaway cars (remember those) initiatives we raised in excess of £60,000 which is just wonderful.

I have an idea for a member participation activity which will not only create wonderful content, mark our 20 years in style, include members all over the country and hopefully raise some more money for charity - I have the embryonic bits sorted but need to do a little more work but will launch it soon. I think you'll all enjoy it. I hope so and it would be great to see you all getting involved.

And yes, a T shirt needs to be sorted, will get back on the case with that one.

Hasn’t time flown…and so many faces still familiar….even from the days before we were kown as DDK!

Classic Porsche UK for a short while

Until Porsche sent me 100 pages of legal letters !

Always down for a DDK t-shirt. The dude on the left was modelled on me I’m sure….

I still have the black T Shirt, too tight a fit now, cotton shrinks so much...

I was introduced to DDK by Matt Powell many years ago, but I 'joined', in early 2008, have my membership card # 0541

Matt still has his jet black '71T

Still have my black T shirt too, although the image has now almost faded away.

Well done on keeping yours so pristine Graham.

I believe I took this picture in 2005 and I always wondered where this unique colour 911 ended up. I was looking for early DDK pictures from 2003-5 to mark James’s great idea of 20th anniversary memories and I haven’t looked over the pictures for years. To my surprise I see the 914/6 in the background that I now own!!! So 20 years comes full circle.

Crikey, so it is (with me, my good lady and Dad around it). If only I could remember where that was!

Hope you are well Mike - must catch up soon

[hot66]

I’ve got one of the very rare and seldom seen early DDK racing jacket .. I’ll dig it out and get a photo

[Lightweight_911]

If only I could remember where that was!

It was Beaulieu ...

[rhd racer]

Ah thank you! The southern location makes sense if my Dad was there!

Beaulieu? Early Porsche event?
