DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Changed the oil and drove the 356 for the first time in months. Engine ran nicely but need to check the tyre pressures.

I hadn't thought of that! Your '14 will look really well in magnolia emulsion!

I can’t have a posh new dash and ratty old door panels in the race car so covered my old ones in left over vinyl from the 964....

Magnolia? I'll have you know it's Buttercup Surprise!

Put up some gloss white cupboards in the garage, painted the walls white, ordered some plastic floor tiles and put up 2 new lights.

Oh, and chucked out 2 car loads of who knows what old toot I had been keeping for years.....

New door in a couple of weeks then it will be fit for my cart again!

Haha!

Not that big, but my fingers obviously are to cover 2 keys that far apart! It also indicates the wonderful education I had many years ago.

Actually, in the now very white garage, conda green will make quite a statement

Mrs Hillclimber decided that we should change the brake fluid (!) today particularly as neither of us could remember when the brakes were last bled etc, but it must be 10 years.
Set the car up and amused ourselves as she struggled to get into then out of the elevated car.

After a lot of 'Up, Downs' all done, nice fresh fluid from each calliper.

With the car up, cleaned the insides of the rims with the ever wonderful Wonder Wheels and checked the CV bolts for tightness, all good.

Ready for a birthday run in very late March.

That is brave I never take more than 2 wheels of the ground at a time!

Buy one of these and never have to bother the boss again

Agreed Graham! Since we have both spent all those years training the girls in the art, it would be wrong to replace them with a machine!

Funny seeing Trish cope with the elevated 911, esp getting out, but doing the Lola is another event!
Keeps her involved too if a bit grumpy...

I only paid £25 for my pressure bleeder! Mrs B charges more for helping than that!!

First I took the green one for a ride and then the blue one I didn’t go very far but did almost 100 miles

With the easing of travel restrictions I was at last able to drop of my Targa doors, which are in need of some TLC, with Mike (MCE Porsche) and pick up my beautifully refurbished 15 x 6 Fuchs Wheels. I am over the moon, they look even better than in the photographs. Thanks Mike
