Today I hardly dared my eyes: On the evening drive home from Munich to the Ammersee I suddenly overtook a Mercedes 540K in the darkness of the A96! I of course sat right next to it and waved kindly to the driver, he kindly back. Then I accompanied the ride to the Ammersee, again and again behind him, next to him and in front of him. The thing is the hammer. Impressive, loud, present, large (I drive a Phaeton, the 540K was no less mottled) He drove on his own axle, always between 100 and 120, sometimes on the right track, past trucks … without being afraid to ruin his million-strong car in the November Niesel on the A96. How cool to be? The car was black, white-walled tyres and as a body shape the convertible. Munich H-mark with 540 in the number. The lights all around were strangely bright and clear – probably technically retrofitted, the license plate backlit. The car then drove my exit on the A. mmersee-Westufer out, through Schondorf through – where unfortunately I had to turn – and further towards Utting. Does anyone know the vehicle? Or the owner? There shouldn’t be so many of them here in D at all? I’m still on high blood pressure …

Hello. Before I had my volume divider overtaken after a very long service life (in the Porsche 928), it ran very clean and normal with “Startpilot”. After the outdated volume divider is in it (plus outdated warm-up regulator, new injection nozzles and new vacuum hoses ) it runs catastrophically after the start. I did not have it set at the CO tester yet, because the old timing belt is to be changed, but is not something extreme : massive white Qu alm from the exhaust, hard engine run, possibly not on all cylinders, and strong fuel tank. Even if it has not yet been adjusted, is this extreme after it ran with start pilot so clean and without smoke and even without stench, according to your assessment, not a sign that something has gone wrong ? (I first suspected a punctured cylinder head seal, but there is no water in the oil according to the marking rod).

In short: BMW E36 325i 1993 in condition 1-2. Technically and optically impeccable. However, it has 325’000km. Does it make sense at all to cherish and maintain the car in the sense of a value preservation, in order to be able to take a value increase with appropriate market development, if due to the high KM-stand a classification as a coveted youngtimer can not be expected to take place? In my opinion everything is over due to the KM-stand: The value of the car lies for me n My car, my time invested, I know that part XY has been replaced and lasts again for 30 years. Until the KM stand doesn’t matter, you have to reach Porsche Oldtimer level where everyone wants to buy everything. I don’t see it here. How would you handle a more or less sought-after youngtimer in very good condition, which has a very high KM stand?

Hello, with our ID19 BJ 68 the straps – especially on the driver’s side – are quite worn out. These are original 3-point static belts, which are no longer available (mostly used in similar condition). A retrofit on 3-point automatic belts (which are offered for the model) is not possible for me. (Originality and optics – the automatic roller has to be screwed to the floor plate for space reasons ) Now I think about whether it is not possible would be to replace only the straps and to use the old fittings and fixing eyelets. To do this, new straps would have to be sewn together to form the necessary loops etc. for the fastening points and belt locks. Someone knows whether this is permissible or whether autosattler can do such work (may).

You can make several crosses ! Hello, since the oldtimer forum is a bit busy again , I would like to know what reasons you could speak or speak for it, to buy a oldtimer or youngtimer / youngtimer . So I think that an oldie is more than just the money that is in it . I have at least had the experience that if you buy an oldie, which then also looks like something special, or should look at it. I too, how v iele Others, somehow have a kind of relationship with my oldie. Besides, I think that each car has its own value in its own way. And not only financially, but also in the heart of the owners.And how do you think about it???

Hello people, I know there have been more similar links. Here is a link to the German Bundestag against the banning of older vehicles in the inner cities. Everyone who calls an older vehicle his own and wants to continue driving in the city, I hereby call on him to raise his voice against this forthcoming ban. We only manage it together. This also means all those who might want to buy an older car. Thank you for the help.http://itc.napier.ac.uk/…/vie w_petition.asp?PetitionID=458 Greeting Manny

Hello I have a very special concern. I bought an old London bus. This one has only served as a “decoration” so far and was therefore never registered in Germany. That’s why the previous owner has no papers for this vehicle.He has no papers at all, nothing he bought it that way at the time. Now the question arises, if I want to export it, how do I best do this without vehicle papers? (Later at the border this would become a problem.) In the meantime, I have found that you can apply for papers again. But how is that if the bus was never registered? Then the registration office has virtually never issued a certificate, so it can not issue a new one, especially if the vehicle is miles away from the TÜV. Can someone help me there? Does anyone have any experience with it? Lg

Hello, with my Porsche 928 (year of construction `78 ) there is suddenly a funny electrical problem. If you turn the ignition key over (batterie 80 Ah from Bosch is new) no indicator light goes on. Instead the speedometer goes very slowly up to 140, stops briefly and then goes just as slowly back to 0. – At the same time the oil pressure indicator goes up. But it stays up. Even after you have turned the ignition key back again. – After a hit on the instrument carrier She falls to 0 and stays there. What can be the cause?

Hello together, after I move almost all of my classic cars with 07-marks, but especially in the summer would like to drive often also purpose-free e.g. into the work or on vacation, I wonder if there is a way, the advantages of 07-marks (quasi no kfz taxes, insurance contributions given) could connect with the advantages of the black H-season mark.. (Free travel where I want to go (among other things abroad) Say: In high season with black registration plates, and in the low season then nevertheless with my 07 registration mark e.g. the workshop or still still on a meeting can drive.. According to FZV speak m.E.n. first nothing against: § 16 FZV rides with red registration plate para. 1 sentence 3 A vehicle, to which according to § 9 paragraph 3 a season registration mark is assigned, may be put into operation outside the operating period according to the sentences 1 and 2, if the season registration mark is not kept at the same time. r Registration office would be able to do this, but I would have to re-register each car individually 2x/year (including fees), which is of course not in question. I think that many years ago I read here about this construct, but can’t find the thread anymore.. Do you perhaps have an idea or experience? Greeting Hansi
