Hello all... Long term 356 owner & general ddk forum lurker here.
Have owned my car for nearly 15 years now but really haven't used it as much as I would have liked. That's all set to change this year, with a trip to the Le Mans Classic with a few 356 buddies later this year.
Here's a pic of the porker:
Oh, and I'm having a garage de-clutter, so I'll be posting a couple of ads here & there...

I'm in Highcliffe, just 10 miles or so east of bournemouth.
Happy to post more pics but I think I'm struggling with the img tags or don't they work well with flikr hosting?

I'm interested to hear about the DDK camping option...
In 2012, 3 of us drove down in 2 356s for the Le Mans Classic. We hooked up with a French VW club & parked at the circuit in their enclosure, which we'll also be doing this year (but this time we'll be bringing 3 356s).
Many of the French VW club have Splitscreen vans - so they're able to camp in the enclosure at the circuit - we camped with the rest of them at a campsite in Spay, just a few kms west of Arnage. This worked out fine - but we may be tempted to camp on site if that's an option...
Thanks,
Anthony
