DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Dear DDK'ers

My name is Ian and although a new devotee to Porsche I have held a 20 year interest in high performance vehicles - Jet Fighter Aircraft specifically. I am a retired RAF Aircraft Engineer who spent many happy years servicing and maintaining Phantom F4's and Tornado F3's!

So, why Porsche?

Well, very simply I have a good friend who is an absolute expert in all things Porsche - one Andrew Mearns of Gmund Cars fame (http://www.gmundcars.com). His enthusiasm has rubbed off, especially as I am helping him with some of the restoration work he does (currently a very beautiful 914).

Porsche simply speaks for itself - market leader, innovator and excellence in engineering!

The more time I spend with Andrew the more passionate about the brand I am becoming. I am very happy to join this community and look forward to posting regularly as the restoration projects take life!

Regards

Ian

Welcome

Are you from raskelf ?

Morning Ian and welcome, I'm sure you will find plenty of inspiration for your projects here on DDk.

I too know Gmund quite well, my 911 came from there and I always try to pop in when I'm passing.

And Raskelf ? I always found the road to Boroughbridge and back a wonderful bit of road. Used to drive it often and always enjoyed it.

Regards, Mike.

I actually Live in Haxby, but I liked Raskelf as a 'Handle' name years ago - Gamer Tag etc in my younger *cough* days (Come on Who DOESNT like Gran Tourismo!!!!)

Welcome Ian.
Nice to have another Porsche fanatic in Yorkshire.

Thanks Hendrik!
