Dates Dates 2003 Hello Oldiereunde, what do you think about it, if the ones found here meet at an oldtimer event, which many of us are interested in. In May this really starts with the events again. But maybe the one or the other wants anyway to a meeting, which was always very nice. I would be very happy about information. Here a few examples from the beginning of the season 2003: 01.02.03 Germany Oldtimerteilemarkt in 85049 Ingolstadt/Do nauhalle 01.02.03 – 02.02.03 Germany Fair for classic vehicles in the trade fair Centrum in 28209 Bremen 07.02.03 – 09.02.03 Germany Winter trip 2003 in 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen And many more dates can be found here:http://195.1145.129.179/vfmz_cms/motor-on/otm_content.nsf Since then click on dates and maybe limit all this to Germany.

Hello people! Since today I am registered in this forum and have an important question: I am 21 years old and have been looking for a suitable car for me for a long time. Basically I am interested in the Ford and Opel models from the beginning to the end of the 70s (various Taunus, record, etc.). However, as I am still in training, one can think that I don’t have the money for a fully restored object, but also no money for it. I’ve been able to discover many great offers on the internet, but I’m not always sure if the model is really as great as it is described. Now I wanted to ask what I should pay special attention to in the descriptions and what price I have to adjust to if I want to have a car, that on the one hand it will do its service for 2-4 years, without causing big expenses, whether the asp ekt “e.g. TÜV bis 05/06” also proves a reasonably good preservation and whether these cars are perhaps already too bad for everyday life, or not. I would be very happy about many posts.

Hello professional world, I am looking for a schematic for a contact-controlled transistor ignition system (6V). I know there is such a part of Ignitor but I am 1. stingy and 2. a hobbyist and would like to build such a part myself. 12V construction plans I already have. Thank you in advance Christian

Hello, I’m still looking for a rider for my team to join the S.A.C European Rally from Munich to Lisbon. This is an 8-day adventure rally for everyone from Munich to Lisbon.http://european.superlative-adventure.com/ I’m planning to join with my Mercedes Kombi BJ 1983. I’ve already been able to gain experience at the Black Sea Circle 2013. If you’re interested, please contact me with a short profile 🙂

Hello all, my ́78 Silver Shadow has a motor-technically unhealthy characteristic: It turns far too long and high in idle after cold start. It hurts! It is the 6.75l V8 machine with two SU HD8 carburettors. Previous start operations took place like this: Before the first start gas pedal once briefly push through completely (so I was told that the electronic shock was activated). He then spews immediately, but the speeds stop at approx. 3000u/min. Only after a good 15min fal It depends on whether you drive or stop. Even if I switch off the engine after 5 min and start without gas, it turns so high, so it doesn’t stay stuck as initially suspected. In a warm state (after just this 15 min hot running phase), it starts immediately at the correct idle speed. Even if you leave it warm after it was a few hours, the speed stays normal when starting. I haven’t tried cold without gas yet. Does anyone know if this can be adjusted or what defect can be present? Greetings Marco

Hello everyone, car making was not a hobby so far, but I just liked the aesthetics of old cars and I’m also willing to put work into it (if “oldtimer” is a hobby that fills the entire leisure time, then that would be too much for me). Since I might be driving to work with the car (still I didn’t have a car), I thought if I didn’t, IF I already need a car, not to get a vintage car. 1. Can you get a vintage car al The loss of value would of course be higher… Whether it is not worth the same to use a 500 Euro scrap car as a first car and drive over the pile, and to spare the old car better!? So to speak as a hobby incl. investment? 2. What are good and cheap models for an beginner? I don’t like a lot of work and money? I don’t like beetles, I don’t look aggressive enough. Opel Kadett seems to be often called, I find a Also quite nice, are other old/youngtimers interesting for me? How am I not being teased as a layman and what should I pay attention to besides the mileage indicator? Thank you for all the answers! Jens

Hello, how do you see the future of the old cars with internal combustion engines when the electric cars come in large quantities? That’s still unthinkable, of course, but in 15-30 years? I’m doing a parallel to the cameras: – There was the time when the first digital cameras had even worse image quality at a high price (range/price of the e-cars) and only the small user group was enthusiastic about it. – The digital cameras were constantly improved The price became affordable and the film cameras (combustion engines) were completely out of the market within a few years. The films (Sprit) are still available to buy, but at relatively high prices and in smaller selections. The used film cameras have lost almost everything in value, because the handling/cost/result compared to the digital cameras is significantly worse and hardly anyone uses them. – Ergebni s: today only very few people are still interested in analogue photography, the normal used cameras have almost no value anymore (apart from very few rarities). Today, a classic car with internal combustion engine is generally similar to a new car, which also makes it attractive to have and use a vintage car. If the electric cars come with the appropriate infrastructure and the users realize the advantages, the inventory of the combustion system will The fuel prices will rise, the number of petrol stations will decrease. Then the usability of the old cars will be limited and only very few people will want such a vintage car. The environmental zone tightening should contribute to it. Then the normal old cars (no real rarities) will drastically lose value. How do you see this? Greetings, Nipo

Hello municipality, first hello together. A (almost) Nachbahr has a nice oldtimer, which he gives to guide wedding rides. Now there is always the question of rust protection in the room. The car stands in a garage next to a normal vehicle, that is driven also in wind and weather (of course always nice moisture in the garage) Now it is always recommended to build a carport. I confirm my personal experiences. I have in a very airy In the cabin, the temperature and humidity are like outside (almost identical, as it really runs very well). Back to the carport. But how can it be that it doesn’t start to rust? I have outside partly after a rain 100% humidity. And now in the fall between 85 and 70% actually continuous. If you read so on the internet, it is always talk of 50% again as a limit. So from 50% -> rust. How can that be that in the hut or in the carport nothing rusts? (air humidity and temperature as outside) Would I be happy if someone answered.
