Default Pics of Porsches etc. at Classic Le Mans. Maybe some girls too.

Hi, just wanted to share this from the UK old Porsche club DDK for your Friday entertainment. Skip past the in-jokes, there's some nice cars in there over the 12 pages. Low 964 content but the one that is there is pretty nice too..

http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/vie...p?f=20&t=39584

There are some half decent photographers in DDK too! I love the 917 pics particularly..

Some great pictures and lovely cars your group had, you were camped just opposite our group (PCGB). I dont know how you kept the cars so clean, my 964 was covered in mud!

Default Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures

Love them old Porsche, especially with Fuchs wheels, though prefer black ones.

Nice job. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant photos - what an event! Seems like a nice bunch of guys. The chartreuse RS is a beauty.

Pleased to see Porsche brought one of my favorite cars from the museum - the 935 'Baby'. Porsche built the car from scratch with the sole purpose of winning a single race in the under 2 litre division. It succeeded in winning one race and was immediately retired to the museum. A relic from a time when Porsche would do anything to win.

Ive always loved that car, 1.4t wiped the floor with the Fords & BMWs in the under 2 litre class

Raced twice, 1st time at the Norisring is retired having not been that cometetive

2nd time it walked away from everything at Hockenheim and Porsche retired it to the museum, point proven

Car came about partly becuase german TV decide to only cover the under 2.0 race at the Norisring, so Porshce werent getting any coverage for dominating in the big class

Car usually shown running no 40, so I'm not sure why this one has 41 on it (in fact I'm not sure the 41 is, Baby)

I saw it in the flesh 18 months ago at the Porsche racing legends night, it s truly stunning

Jan Lundgarth built a replica and ran it for a season and so with no great success (his big class 935 is in the photos on the thread as well)

Ok, great picture ... but we are lacking a certain amount of sex appeal here ... not trying to highjack your thread here, just trying to make a contribution ...
