DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yep just booked my tickets for the Sunday

Glad it has found 'another' good new home Look forward to progress reports on the Hot Rod.

Tuthills rates - I thought them pretty good given the knowledge you get, or did I misunderstand that bit ?

Many years ago it took me two years to find out that you pulled the light switch to turn on the interior light. prior to that I had propped the door open a bit

Lovely car and should I mine back this weekend, freshly restored metal and paint. Cars like this inspire me to finish mine to an equally good look.

My A5 Quattro has Xenon Lights that auto adjust when cornering, but the MMI option to convert to Continental / UK is sonly accessible by the Audi Dealer - mad ! I know you can get to it if you buy the Laptop Software and interface cable that allows you to get to quite a few features. No help right n...

Stunning build as said before. How about assembling a time lapse sequence of photos from purchase to 'on the road' :-) First engine start is scheduled for ...... and a video please :-) The unveiling has something to live up to though from previous experience. It is where you explain this is in fact ...

I have posted odd snippets within previous threads here, but thought I would post the latest 'in red' pictures here. Paint is fresh out of the gun and looks 'very bright' :-) The car has been through a year of metalwork and paint to get here, and if interested there is a full gallery here :- http://...

Let's leave behind all this talk of rubber grommets for now. Here's my wonderful sunroof going back together..... Just in time for the forecast snow :-) Still looking lovely. Is there anything on this car that has not been replaced or restored, and is as it collected it. Do you have a picture of th...

Super detailed pictures This car will look showroom (or better) new when finished, and a great testament to UK engineering

I know that Tuthills have been working on a new bolt in cage that doesn't have the 'ugly' large bolts showing as well. Definitely worth a trip down to see their many cars in the workshops (worth a visit anyway to get inspiration) but they are likely mega busy running a dozen or more cars out in Afri...

Have you spoken to Tuthills as I know they prepare a lot of the SWB Cars for the HRCR Historic Series ? Also Andy Robinson at Robinson Race Cars has done early 911 cages, plus of course Custom Cages near Brackley / Banbury way.

Good luck and show us the pics

Dumb question but what the heck. What are the driver differences between a SS 2.8 and a 2.8RSR which I assume is an overbored 2.7 (i.e. a long stroke ???). i guess it is like asking what is the difference between a big block 400ci Chevy and a 415ci small block Chevy. Does one rev fast and fragile wh...

My neighbour knows the builder / owner (Chris) very well - lives over Northampton way. I met him at Prescott on Saturday and he enthused over the 11 year build project - made my one year with the Alfa seem short :-) My neighbour was then offered a passenger ride up Prescott in it on the Sunday, so o...

Happy Birthday Paul
