DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Greetings,
Just signed up here - this looks like a fun site, and a good way to keep tabs on what's up outside the States.

I live outside of Los Angeles, Ca. I've been involved with Porsches, and road racing, etc for a very, very long time.

Please feel free to PM me with any questions regarding cars, etc, stateside...I'm always happy to help out.

I look forward to chatting...

Cheers
Thom

Hi Thom.
Welcome to DDK.

Hi Thom, welcome aboard. I'm planning to come out to LA this year and would like to coincide it with some Porsche meet - any ideas?

The German Autofest is a MUST DO...
It's held every September at Ventura, Ca. This year's date is Sept 8-9

Read about it here:
http://www.germanautofest.com/

It's a great event, at a great time of year. I do a booth there each year representing PML, which is a market letter for Porsche.

More on all this later - I'm being called away.
Cheers
Thom

Hi'a Thom great to see more US guys here.

I have not been to any events South of Ca, I hear it's dangerous so I tend to stick to Nor Cal it must be the wine

Ok...I give up...

How do you guys mount avatars here?

I feel inadequate without having the cat handy...

Thanks

Cheers
Thom

No...It ain't you, sir. Nor Cal is correct, and so is the wine. If I could afford it...I would be calling Carmel (Monterey Peninsula at the very least) my home.

So Cal is a vicious place...if it wasn't for all the car culture, and people associated with it, I wouldn't be anywhere close. As it is, the high desert is not all bad a place to call home, and have ready access to all the neat stuff that happens there...

Cor blimey Riley!

It's such a shock to one's sensibilities to be exposed to such phraseology from the New World I feel I must retire to the winter garden for a G&T and a brief nap.

Hello Thom - welcome.

Carl

PS

I get the North and South thing, but what is 'the high desert'? Are there low and medium deserts too? We don't get exposed to many deserts in Cheshire
