DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

It wasn’t actually a Carrera. They initially said it was, despite quoting a standard 911 chassis number and having what’s clearly not a Carrera engine. The only Carrera-ish thing was flared arches.

They corrected it part way through the auction.

Yes! Look at that! It’s pretty brilliant to buy a new car. Brillianter still to commission one to be built for you. But nothing is more brilliant than doing so much of it yourself. Doesn’t matter in the slightest if you’ve accidentally passivated a washer that would have been bright zinc from the fa...

Ah. Huge pumps for your famously huge turds.

What is man running from those massive electrical cabinets? Some sort of crypto mine? WOPR?

Was it a magpie swooping in for those wheels?

You’d fit half a dozen systems in the engine bay. Loads of room.

That’s how they left the factory…

Looks just right on those steelies. There was a similar one at Barrington on New Years Day.

Free bumper to bumper warranty.

Starts when the front bumper leaves the gatepost… etc

My friend ran a manual S2 as his main car from 95-140k miles from maybe 2014-2018 or so. He reckons he broke even to almost the £ (he had a spreadsheet…) on running costs vs appreciation, about £2k a year on average. It was basically very reliable and he got 22mpg over its time with him (also on the...

Yiss! I saw that for sale and liked it lots.

Take a pic with a child’s head between the brake and clutch pedals.

Just in an adidas shop at a discount outlet place (the very definition of soulless) and saw some Ferrari jogging bottoms and t shirts. “What would enzo say” I thought There are at least 4 urban yoof types round my endz rocking this jacket at the moment: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1630404530/fe...

Le Mans 66 / Ford vs Ferrari proved that big name big budget car films can work ($200m+ against a $95m budget), but I guess that was pre pandemic and it was written and directed by some pretty outstanding talents (Jez Butterworth is an early Porsche enthusiast) but Michael Mann is hardly a beginner....

Look! A genuine 2.7 Carrera! Same engine as the RS! https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1974-porsche-911-gOAKm4 Good to hear it had head gasket work in 2016. Always one to watch for on these. I can’t be bothered to look at all the pictures but what’s the bet that their claim of ‘no visible rust’ ...

My father in law did that route as far as Shiraz in the mid 70s in a held-together-with-riveted-on-biscuit-tin VW camper. Even then it was apparently mega sketchy with lots of bribes / arrests / running from bandits etc.
