Hello together, carry me with the idea to build an NSU TT in the race trim. Do you actually know alternatives to the NSU TT with similar driving performance, size and feeling? Then let’s hear.

Hello! I am French, and I am currently driving a Golf IV TDI 101. I plan to sell it to enjoy a nice SLC. I am still a student, but I will work in a few months (and therefore finally earn money). An old Mercedes has always been my dream. I will see the SLC tomorrow, it should be in a very good condition. It is yellow, has insured 140,000kms, 1974, second hand, only some rust points. Leather, aluminum rims, climate, electric roof (sunroof The V8 runs perfectly, he told me, and he drives the car regularly. He demands 7,600€ for the thing. What do they think about it, is this price correct? Will the car not be too unreliable after the 35 years? Will I not have too many problems? What would a cavity seal cost? I don’t know about mechanics at all, but I am ready to learn. (Since I am French I make mistakes, but would be glad to be corrected to speak German better). Thank you!

I just got excited by a remodeling of an original 1959 Borgward Isabella, which was overhauled with engine, drive, brakes and safety belts from the Mazda MX5. The body was made, chrome was refreshed and the result is a great car – for driving, not exhibiting. I find the idea ingenious and would like to try something like that… here were really two worlds united! The price of less than 900€ – lots of original parts incl. sive – is imho ridiculously cheap. > eBay USA < Lieb Gruss Oli

Hello, I have a question about a 10 year old Astra whose paint is extremely worn out (stratter & glossy) . Some of you will now think: “What does this one want? An Astra is not a classic car” I also give that one absolutely right! But the paint condition of the Astra is really extremely bad, which is due to “inappropriate” use on the field and flea. Since the car is now to be “resocialised” and is on the road again in the city, the paint should be back in Ord What suggestions do you have for the varnish? A certain product with which you have had good experience? A paint cleaner or rather a polish? You can no longer do a lot of work with the varnish. Would I be happy if you could help me with your experiences a little bit further! Many greetings Jochen

Hello together, Last week I was on the highway and had an Opel Corsa B in front of me. Same had the good old license plate without this disgusting blue Europe flag. I first thought I didn’t see right, but it was definitely an old license plate. Also the letter size was different from those of today’s license plates. I want to have such an old license plate on my oldie !!! I once let myself tell that these license plates n , which were already registered before the conversion to new signs and have not been re-registered since, thus still in possession of the owners of that time. Does someone know a way to get to such an old number plate ? Say something about it … Greetings!

Hello together, I play with the idea of getting a /8 as a daily oldie for the summer and to use my previous daily only seasonally in the winter. Have I already made a little knowledge in the net and with it the 240d already a little closer into the eye. Can this can be recommended as a daily oldie? Important would be that it is reasonably economical in terms of consumption. are average consumptions below 10l realistic? Thanks already and greetings, fullsize

Hello, I get this week a Jetta I Diesel Automatic, year 1980, 100,000 km, gifted. The car is like new, no rust and ALL inspection. Of course I can not say no, even if I have to drive 1000 km for it. Now my question: Do I get a car with a “07” license plate approved? What are the exact requirements for this? What does this cost me in the year? I have heard only “special” cars of this license plate. But the last 1er Jetta because I Once again, I’ve seen a Jetta with a number like that. Just write me everything you know about the license plate or the car. Thank you very much.

Hello! I have a vintage car, which will be 30 years old in July and would like to allow it as a classic car with H-mark. Now my question, which license plate does he get? The last license plate with which he was registered was called “WDA” for Werdau. This will no longer be awarded “new”. Only for vehicle already registered on this license plate can you get the “old” license plate again. All vehicles, which come from another county or are newly registered, get “Z” for Zwickau ( Is this also true for classic cars, or do they generally get a new license plate? Do I get a WDA or a Z for my oldie? Thank you very much, dear people, and many greetings from pretty_sun

Hello! Ok, there are already some websites that deal with this topic, but I thought that one could also go into cars in film and television. I like for example the 58 Plymouth Fury from “Christine”, of which 13 – in words: THREEHN – pieces were scrapped to achieve these tin-re-heal effects!http://www.rv.net/moparmel/christine.jpg Or there was the beautiful Dogde Charger, who after a role in the air in “The Fast And The Furi *heul* It’s also different. I’m just saying Blues Brothers and her 74’s Dogde Monaco! Does anyone know the movie “California” with Brad Pitt, David Duchovny, Juliette Lewis and Michelle Forbes? What kind of car did they drive? It was a black convertible, normal doors at the front and the suicidal version at the back. There was something longer on the hood, Chrysler could be, not a Ford or Cadillac. The same car was also driven in “Crime Is King”. Who knows it? I’m looking for long after that, but I haven’t found anything yet.
