DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

On this day 20 years ago while on a business trip to the US, I purchased Honey while in San Francisco. Here is a picture of me and a work colleague celebrating with a beer and the owner’s manual.



Turns out the 911 is a very practical car, was able to fit all of the kids in

One of my first trips was a drive to Oban for breakfast, a journey I still remember and also meeting other DDK members on a trip to the CB Inn in North Yorkshire.

In 2006 Honey travelled to Le Mans for a fantastic trip including two laps of the track.

And over the years I have created many fantastic memories and met some really great people.

Today I went into the garage and sat in the driver’s seat and also turned the engine over by hand. Honey hasn't really been out since Covid. That will change this year as I retire in 3 weeks and spending more time with Honey is certainly on my list and that includes returning to the Bo'ness Hillclimb.

Excellent thread Brendan

Lovely car (& owner ) ...

I thought the other bloke with you in the first picture was Chris Jury !

Welcome back Brendan! Great reflection on the last 20 years

Still can’t believe we made it back from Le Mans with that piston crashing up and down…!

Hi Brendan,
I have seen it before, but that picture on the beach is lovely. Great to hear you will be getting to spend more time with your car. I look forward to doing the same when I get older.
Kind regards
Gitesh

Good times Brendan . Was that the same Clm the points closed up ?

Such a lovely honest original 911, thanks for all the 20 years of memories and adventures Brendan.


Regards
Mike

PS Gary, it wasn’t just the one piston

James, yes it was! Well remembered.

What a gorgeous 911

Great thread Brendan. Some great shots there - the car looks totally different at Bo’ness, with the different wheels and ride height.

All the best for your retirement
