Thanks & yes its nerdy but that suits me well.





Brandt & Salling was the company that Erik Brandt took over after his Father, and about the time he married Margit.

This means its a early jacket = matches the car.

Karsten Stelk "der Englaender" posted a nice photo on fb today, and I got permission to share it inhere.

What does this have to do with my car ? the eagle eye,d will spot it.

Petals

Wheels with those "flying outside hub" for extra speed !

Yepp - my wheels put to their pace by the very man who had them made Erik Höyer.

He had 8 wheels of the 6" type made, and a few more of the 4.5"

Yes he used the narrow 4.5 on the back, with less grippy rubber, in order to go faster around the many corners on Roskilde Ring.
By having the narrow ones on the back, he could maintain the drift all through the bend,s without any leftfoot breaking.


Here is a edit version of the pic.

The car was out on Sunday, for its first drive this year.

Latest thing I have been "fidling" with is a set of Knock Off,s for my wheels.

Made a drawing (and changed it a few times) but finally got the result I was looking for.

The drawing was then put into a 3D printer, and this came out =

The 3D was then send to a alloy casting guy.

This was what I got back.

Here is what they look like after the ingraving was done.

Excellent result.

if you want to be cheap, just buy a set of the knock on spinners from a karmen ghia

I bought a set for my bus and they looked ace - and cost about 30 quid!

I had searched around to see if I could find something that fitted ? but never found any I was really happy with.
The ones I have made fit original Rose Petal,s and they take the standard size center badges.

Sure hope not

Hi all,


is it just me, or do we see less of the rare spares (and cars) ?

are people "sitting" on their stuff, or is it just that most have been found by now ?

I havent seen any "new" JS or WP parts / cars for sale in a long time (not counting new bling / fake cars)

just a thought.

Old can, the tekst above "Castrol" give it away.

Hi all, no stories or news to report on, in regards to the WP/JS for more than 3 years now, and as everyone know has 2020 been a very strange year.
So in order to round it off in a more cheerfull way, will I now share a little "Christmas Tale" with you guys.

Today I visited a person whom 6 days ago had a call about a old storage facility that was to be demolished.
Inside were tons of old stuff that different companies had put into storage over the last 5 decades.

In one corner buried deep under loads of other abandoned stuff, several boxes of old advertizing / promotional items incl clothes - posters - books etc etc from Margit & Erik Brandt,s shops / companies turned up, and today I was granted a "peep" to see if there were anything I wanted.
Here are some of the items I saved =

first picture is a travel bag for clothes.
second is 2 NOS plastic bags.
third picture is showing posters - bags - promotional stuff/invites for fashion shows, and a suitcase.


Merry Christmas everybody.
