Hello Motortalker, so slowly I get to the age (19) in which the first “real” salary is in view and I fantasize accordingly about new hobbies. I always found oldtimer nice, but since I come from a rather “academic family” I have absolutely zero idea of technology or no practical screwdriver experiences. So how to get into the oldtimer scene best? Until my planned / desired own oldtimer purchase it is still about 3 years but I think you can never start to find out soon enough. So questions like this: How do you get into the classic car scene best? Are there textbooks that can be understood about the technology? Are these model specific or are the technology of the different manufacturers at this time so strong that you only need “special knowledge” in special cases? How did you make your first experiences with vintage cars? (Does it go rather bad at a vintage car meeting and say: “Hey You there, can I watch you screw?” Greetings Felix P.s.: About the person: I live in Karlsruhe and start (after a semester of physics studies) in October with my dual degree in mechanical engineering/production engineering.
