DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps. I'll certainly keep you updated. There are bound to be some trials and tribulations. Winston-I'm in Warwickshire between Leamington and Kenilworth. Hoping to start with Cuborough. I think I'm developing a slight understanding of the FN view of the world! Mike-...

I've been into cars for as long as I can remember. As a child things were rather nebulous - a mate's dad had a V12 pre HE XJS that we used to love watching the digital read out of miles per gallon go to 0.0!. A chap in the suburb had a 308: 'if you work hard, son, one day you can have a Ferrari'. My...

NOW SOLD Dear DDK, Not sure how many of you are interested in this, but you might know someone who is. Sadly, in order to fund purchase of my new classic I'm needing to sell my 911. I've loved having this car over the last 5 years, and we've had many good times together, including using it at my wed...

Hi, Unfortunately a lady reversed into my car on Monday. Fortunately, she only damaged the O/S over-rider PN 91150534200, but these are NLA from Porsche and the OEM ones are about 150quid. Ugh. If anyone has a really good 2nd hand one, could they let me know please. Maybe one of you cool backdate pe...

PM (with pics!) sent.

Saw it at Prescott last year and it sounded like it looks. Handled like it too! 200hp, but I think it said around 800lbft of torque on the blurb.

Payment sent in the hope there's one left!

Hi,

The locking seat rail mechanism on my 1976 911 drivers (O/S) seat has failed catastrophically. Fortunately in the position I need it to be in to drive it. Does anyone have a used one of these for sale?

Thanks

My sill covers are looking somewhat dowdy (understatement) and I know that my car should have the polished version. Unfortunately, these are hideously expensive new, and that is not where I want to be spending that kind of money currently! Therefore, if anyone has some good used ones at a reasonable...

My recent honeymoon was in California, and we snuck over to Nevada for the Saturday of the National Championship Air Races. This was the finish of the Unlimited Gold race - Voodoo won in the end but not by much, at an average speed of 499mph! In the finals the following day, Voodoo won. An excellent...

Type 911 as per the link above.

I bought some of the dansk ones which were of reasonable quality and fitted ok. Functionally fine too. Not much more expensive than mild steel ones and will hopefully be another fit and forget item.

Thanks for all the comments - generally as I suspected...

I may have been overstating the amount of movement, but it is certainly palpable and visible. When I queried what they should be like 'rock solid' was the answer. Presumably the SC onwards are more akin to this.

Hi, I (why, oh why) decided to try a new, local, MOT station... They failed my '76 2.7 on rear drop link play, so I thought fair enough, they're probably 40 years old, ordered the new bushes from Porsche and changed them. Apparently there is still an 'unacceptable' amount of play in them. To be clea...

I saw this advertised on an Australian website and I think it was for sale for c56000 Oz dollars. Will be interesting to see what it ends up at.
