M-M Clasicos en Burgos

"TO LEAD IT IS A PERSONAL QUESTION"

Classic M&M are a familiar company moved by their great passion by the classic and old vehicles.

It motivates the interest to us to conserve and to promote this precious liking and to renew in the measurement of our possibilities that "spirit of the lost automobile" in our days in which these are mere machines in their sense purely practitioner.

In these "Times Standard" in which to lead is an own necessity of modernity, we vindicated that “to lead it is a personal question” that must produce to us to please. To lead a classic today, nevertheless, is to stain itself sometimes of fat, but mainly it is to again live the trip like an emotion, a experience for the memory… to integrate itself in the landscape, to enjoy the sound of the motors, the art in the design…

Without a doubt this liking brings about affections, invokes beautiful memories, instructs in history, it educates our time of leisure and mainly it shares with relatives and friendly.

Classic M&M have a permanent selection of 50 vehicles in stock in our facilities of Quintanar of the Mountain range-Burgos. From classic sport to veteran saloon cars, being specialized in American automobile.

Our vehicles are in property and before leaving on sale they are reviewed with mimo, the eyes of good fan in our factories and are lead habitually.

We base our existence on the clarity, honesty and professionalism in our operations, forging friendly and companions of liking.

IRESA in Spain

OUR HISTORY

To the equal than it happens with the people, the Companies are in favor conditional of his own history. An interactive phenomenon exists that does that the daily facts of the companies form an accumulated capital that, as well, has its influence on the present and future behavior of the company.

In the case of IRESA, it can say that we have grown with motoring in Spain. Significant details exist in this respect because IRESA was the first company in proposing Troop safety lines to the pilots. It was in 1971. The first troop safety lines that we proposed were of 3 points. Similarly, IRESA patented for Spain the belts harness type aviation that today are familiar for any pilot.

Simultaneously, we began to make the first special exhaust manifolds to increase induction manifold as well as the engine efficiency, to mount carburetors WEBER in motors SIMCA 1000. Alicio Rosemary, then Head of the Service of Competition of Chrysler-Spain contacted with our founder, Manuel de Miguel, to put Desafío SIMCA still on del that great champions have left (for example, Antonio Zanini). Like peculiar data, we will remember that the companies that esponsorizábamos Desafío SIMCA were, aside from IRESA, TARGA, NECTO, CHAMPION… All of them authentic landmarks in the history of the competition in our country.

Hot Rod Race

Jedes Jahr im Sommer treffen sich Motorsport-Fans mit einer Vorliebe für alte, amerikanische Autos, um ihre Schlitten mal richtig auszufahren. Auf dem stillgelegten Militärflughafen Finowfurt in Brandenburg fahren sie ein „Hot Rod Race“, das ist ein Beschleunigugsrennen aus den fünfziger Jahren und so sind auch die Autos mindestens fünfzig Jahre alt. Jedes Wochenende werden sie von ihren Besitzern liebevoll gepflegt und einmal im Jahr innerhalb von Sekunden auf hundert Stundenkilometer gepeitscht.

What is a 'Huehnerschreck'?

MAW-Diamant:
Dieses Wunderwerk der Technik ist allgemein als "Hühnerschreck" bekannt geworden. Speziell für das
Erzgebirge und den Thüringer Wald gab es sogar wenige Prototypen des Fahrradhilfsmotors mit Zusatzgebläse. Ab einer Steigung von mehr als 10 Prozent gilt: Absteigen und Schieben.


»» www.oldtimerfreunde-muenchenbernsdorf.de


 Gebaut in den Jahren 1954 - 1959 im Messgeräte- und Armaturenwerk Magdeburg (MAW) war dieser Fahrradanbaumotor besonders in ländlichen Gegenden verbreitet. Und wer einmal mit so einem “Hackenwärmer” fuhr, kennt das einzigartige Fahrgefühl.

»»  http://www.huehnerschreck.de/


The modern version of this vehicle comes from the States:

»» http://www.derringercycles.com/


If it could talk, it would tell of a time when it formed a stage for the most popular spectator sport in America. A sport where backyard engineers donned wool sweaters and set off across the boards on a bicycle, with an engine, that went 100 MPHBoard track racers were among the first American superstars, and the bikes they rode were the purest expression of speed, danger, and excitement that the world has ever seen.Derringer Cycles are an homage to the most exciting period in the history of motorsport worldwide.

Bill's Trident

This is a 1975 Triumph Trident. It is 750cc and has 3 cylinders.
This bike is quite heavy compared to the 500cc Tiger (2 cylinders), but once moving, it is a great bike to ride. It also sounds amazing too......3 cylinders give an odd, but very nice 'song'!
Normal fuel consumption is around 45mpg via its 3 - 27mm carburettors.

Some additional information about my Triumph Tiger

Incidentally, this bike is quite rare in the UK, they were specially made for the USA market. It was made in the 'old' Triumph factory on Jan 1st 1970; despatched to California on 17th Feb 1970; and came back to the UK sometime in late 1998. It was partially rebuilt by the first UK owner, and I finished it off. It has one quite small carburettor (26mm approx) and can achieve up to 85 mpg. if ridden with some restraint.

Secma F16 Roadster



Ist das ein Buggy, ein Roadster oder der neueste Sport-Rasenmäher? Ein deutscher Importeur bietet jetzt auch hierzulande den französischen Secma F16 an. Das frech dreinschauende Kerlchen mit dem kämpferischen Namen schürzt sich nur mit einer leichten Kunststoffkarosserie und gewährt am Hintern einen Blick auf seinen teilweise offen zur Schau getragenen Motor. Dieser kam in früheren Renault-Mégane-Modellen zum Einsatz und ist aktuell noch im Dacia Logan zu haben. Er leistet 105 PS, geschaltet wird über eine manuelle Fünfgang-Schaltung...

mia = Emissionsfrei, zuverlässig, praktisch


Das neue Elektroauto mia erweist sich als ein gefragtes Citymobil für Flottenkunden. Nur wenige Wochen nach Verkaufsstart liegen dem Elektroautohersteller mia electric Bestellungen über mehr als 100 Exemplare des neuartigen Stadtflitzers vor. Auffälligstes Merkmal des 2,87 Meter langen Dreisitzers, der vom ehemaligen VW-Chefdesigner Murat Günak entwickelt wurde, ist der zentrale Fahrersitz, der dem Fahrer beidseitiges Ein- und Aussteigen ermöglicht. Schiebetüren sowie Ausschnitte in Dach und Boden machen den Zugang besonders bequem, darüber hinaus bietet die mia einen für diese Fahrzeuglänge extrem großen Innenraum. Das Elektroauto wird ab Juni 2011 an die Flottenkunden ausgeliefert, der Einzelverkauf an Privatkunden startet 2012.

Mopeds aus Duisburg

Huckingen. „Da wird man süchtig von“, sagt Friedel Frielinghaus (61) zu seinem Hobby: Er restauriert alte Mopeds, macht aber auch vor anderen Fahrzeugen nicht Halt. „Man hat ein Teil gerade fertig oder fast fertig, da stellt man sich schon das nächste hin.“

Nun hat Frielinghaus gut re­den: Denn erstens ist er von Hause aus Kfz-Schlosser. Und zweitens bietet ihm sein großzügiges Anwesen reichlich Platz für eine Werkstatt und für Abstellräume.

„Ich hab’ immer gebastelt und geschraubt“, erzählt er. „Auch als ich noch gar nicht fahren durfte. Auf einem Gartenweg hab’ ich’s dann doch getan“, gesteht er.

Der Spaß daran war bei dem jungen Mann aber verflogen, nachdem er Ende der 60er Jahre mit seiner Kreidler Florett auf dem Weg nach Holland einen (selbst verschuldeten) Un­fall hatte. „Der Helm hat mir mein Leben gerettet“, sagt er. Trotzdem sei er neun Mo­nate krank gewesen. Danach stieg Frielinghaus aufs Auto um.

Dabei ist er zwar bis heute geblieben. Aber sein Bruder bekam 1990 ein altes Kompakt-Moped, eine Honda Char­­ly, geschenkt, konnte da­mit aber nichts anfangen und gab es ab. Nachdem Friedel Frielinghaus die Zündanlage überholt hatte, lief die Maschine wieder. „Es fehlte aber die Zuverlässigkeit“, sagt er. Ende der 90er Jahre versteigerte er die Honda im Internet. Damit aber brach der Bastler-Virus wieder aus...

Der Mopedbürgermeister


Ich, David Klug ( Spitzname Mopedbürgermeister) aus Duisburg bin seit meinem 15. Lebensjahr ein begeisteter Anhänger der alten MOPEDS und Mofas ( Motorfahrräder ) aus den 50er und 60er Jahren.

Ich selbst versuche meine Privatsammlung ( derzeit 12. Mopeds, 1. Mofa, 2. Fahrräder mit Hilfsmotor und 2. Motorfahrräder) stehts auf dem neusten Originalzustand zu halten, sowie diese zu pflegen, reparieren und auszuführen. Aus beruflichen Gründen klappt dies nicht immer...
