LIVING THE PORSCHE: a 1 hour film which makes you want to have a Porsche even more!

Nordsternklassik, Gelsenkirchen

Today I made a short trip to the Nordstern Klassik Old+Youngtimer Meeting, here are a few pics:

Again, a great mix of 50'ies to 80'ies precious metal!

Golf Mk I from mild to wild:

In such a VW Scirocco I drove my first time with a drivers license

Snake charmer: A Python for the Volksback!

Today I received my - as new- Python exhaust system for the Volksback! Thank you Thomas for making contacts and taking care of everything!

I can feel a big motor coming soon!

Porsche 911: a German thing... Petrolicious video!

Steering wheel: what about a black leather wrapped one?

A few weeks ago, on our visit at the Youngtimer Vestival in Herten I found a nice steering wheel with a strange hub and nobody knew anything about it, the horn button was missing and it had a few scratches - but it was cheap...
So, I refurbed it and designed a new hub adaptor and my good pal Thomas was so kind and machined it according to my sketch. This is a comparison before / after:

I used a raid hub as basis for my adaptor and also a raid horn button with a genuine Porsche crest.

first breakdown in over 10.000 km!

Last Sunday my fellow Volksback broke down just after I visited the ACVW Meeting of Käferfreunde Pendelachse in Düsseldorf - pics of the meeting later...

On my way home, suddenly no fuel... At first I thought of a clogged fuel line - but later I found the real source of the problem:

Somehow the axis of the fuel pump walked out and as a result no fuel!
Ralf came to the rescue and helped me out, we organized a new pump and the Volksback worked flawless again!
After re-assembly I caulked the axis and even the "old" pumps runs like a champ again!

Stance Works: a really nice Type 3 feature!

A few days ago I stumbled across this feature on Stance Works:
