Hello, my junior wants a vintage car, and I think to myself, why not? (but he doesn’t have a driver’s license yet), so I would drive. I wouldn’t define classic cars so narrowly now, but rather “car from the 90s”. Which car is suitable as a classic car beginner? Junior meant Golf 2, but they are also quite expensive? So if we were to deal with the topic of vintage cars, I would tend to tend to the larger car. That’s why my general question here is: Welc Hes car from the 90s is the best way to offer a good and affordable basis, especially in order to run in 10 years (replacement parts should be available, so nothing too exotic). A certain everyday suitability would be desirable, so no absolute diva. Few rusty models would be important to me. My first ideas: Audi 100 C4 Audi A8 D2 Mercedes W124 (like Coupé) Audi Cabrio Golf 1 Cabrio Volvo C70 Other ideas? I would spend a low 4-star for the adventure “Oldtimer” If anyone has a specific proposal in the area of Northern Bavaria, please do not hesitate! Thank you for your help!

Dear old-timer owners, in a similar article, started in this forum in 2021, under the heading “The future of old-timers” was already discussed diligently. At DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V., Institut für Verkehrsforschung) I research exactly this topic. The question is: What future do you see for regenerative fuels in traffic and with old-timers? The aim is to introduce and use regenerative fuels in traffic as holistically as possible. In addition, a comparison with other technologies should take place. Climate protection and the reduction of the use of fossil fuels are of the highest social and political relevance. With your participation you help to understand the acceptance of regenerative fuels and the requirements of potential users and these fuels. For this purpose, I conduct expert interviews, i.e. I would like to ask you questions, in particular about Ih rem understanding of regenerative fuels, how to evaluate them, for example, in comparison to electromobility, and what factors would be relevant to you in order to use a regenerative fuel. I am also pleased if you bring in further aspects from your experience with your vintage car. The conversation will take about an hour and take place online. If you are interested, please write me here by private message or to my e-mail address ([email protected]). I would like to receive feedback, also on questions about the contribution! Thanks again to the management of the forum, that the contribution is possible here. This survey is carried out in consultation with MOTOR-TALK

Hello, I am 55 years old and beginner screwdriver, just looking for a suitable car. Grateful for tips, allergic to senior teachers. The unheard of rental prices in the Munich room and the absence of an own screw location brought me to the idea of establishing a hall community. An offer is e.g. the following hall in the east of Munich, which could be shared with 5 people: 200 sqm, rent 1000 euros warm, deposit 3 monthly rents. Water, electricity, toilet and additional We could set up an association. Everyone pays 1000 euros into an account, of which 600 for the deposit and 400 as security for the colleagues against sudden “disappearing”. Then we look for a hall and rent you. If we find none within 6 months, the money goes back and it is over. Everything is completely democratic and legally secure. From there each pays 200 euros a month and has a warm spot for his screw object, which he stands there also longer term. I’m looking forward to a lively discussion on the subject. The project requires a certain ability to bond. In concrete terms, I’m curious to see if people who want to join in and are really ready to jump the 1000 first time. I’m looking forward to seeing if there’s a lot of people who want to get involved.

Hello together, on the car of my father , G model built 1981, 3.0 l boxer with 204 Ps has to be made a gearbox oil change. The 5 gear transmission is difficult to switch and I guess that was made on the car very long or never before an oil change on the gearbox. Since I have never changed on such a car the gearbox oil now ask me the question if you can do a lot of wrong and what man has to pay attention to. In addition, the engine in the Warm running phase in the stood very high turns about 1800-1900 revolutions, which in my opinion is too high, the problem has only occurred at the beginning of the season. Last year everything on the engine was eliminated where he pulled auxiliary air and thus hardly had its own idle. The ignition cables distributor cap and ignition fingers were renewed, after I did all the work on the engine was adjusted the engine in a free Porsche Classic workshop. he had his own idling which he had to have and was also right with cold engine in the stand. After the car was brought back from his hibernation the problem with the too high idling in the stand with cold engine occurred. Had someone of you ever had such a problem or can tell me what that could be, because last year in the summer after the engine was set fresh the engine ran when it was cold Problemless Sincerely Maurice

Good day to the round, I just bought a classic car Lada 2106 and found on the transfer ride that the indicated speed in the speedometer differs from that on the Navi/Maps or is too high. At 50 KM/h on the speedometer it is almost 10 KM/h and increases that it is at 120 on the speedometer real 105 etc. I want to exchange the tires against which with a lower cross-section, thus an additional increase of the indicated speed ggü. der re How can I achieve a really driven speed with the analog speedometer? Only the needle or the zero position will change too imprecisely, as the difference increases as said with increasing speed. Greetings, Lars

Hello, I could get an Audi 100 Coupe of 72 for relatively little money. This one has an H-certificate and also the oldtimer key number 98 in the letter. He was already registered as H. The substance of the car is good, all supporting parts are ok, chassis and technology too. However, when looking more closely at almost every body part rust bubbles, partly matt lacquer or on the chrome also show some rust. Now I ask the following question: Get ic h such a Tüv badge and thus an H-mark, despite the optical defects it has, or can I get lost and the H-mark? I would only buy the car if I did not have to complete it, rather I put it away after the approval times 2 months and set up the problem zones.

Hello, I’m currently looking for an Audi 80 (B3), and I’m also looking for other brands. The prices are often completely arbitrary and you have the feeling that some providers are on the road, who want a lot of money for their old rocked cucumber with minimal equipment and 370,000 km, just because the 30 years are in sight. Of course, nobody can say exactly which cars become interesting vintage cars, but there are certainly certain criteria, I would like to collect a few models here, because the boardies here think that it is still cheap young cars, which have the potential for an interesting vintage car.

Hallole, a question to all “from the compartment”: my 300 SEL 3.5 V8 gets damn hot, if it runs for a while in the stand. Means: 10 minutes in idle and the temperature rises to over 100 degrees. After 2-3 km ride that normalizes then again. Did someone ever have the same problem or a suggestion, where you can best start there ? Maybe rinse cooler with the garden hose, or exchange any thermostat or something ? I am grateful for all suggestions and hints ! Greeting, fk4

Hello your oldtimer friends, I would be interested in how the opinions on the most beautiful oldies differ, or agree. I start with: I have since September 2009 a Jaguar XJ Serie 1 first registration October 1969, for connoisseurs therefore one of the first XJ, and since then have driven so about 14,000 km accident-free with only 1 breakdown. I still think a dream car Many greetings Uwe

Hello, 5-10 years ago I would say was the number of vintage cars on German roads even much higher or does that just happen to me? I used to be happy when a duck or a Trabi is talking about itself. But if I don’t deceive then the number of vehicles on the roads has dropped a lot. Since certainly also the scrapping premium had a large share of it or what do you mean is the reason for this decrease? I find it very bad anyway! Greeting G of which:
