Hi everybody,

some of you already know that our friend and club member Jürgen had an accident at last weekends drag race in Bitburg with his beautiful oval window. Check the Top Racers, he is in 4th place. His car is one of the most beautiful and fast Cal Looker in Europe.

The damage to the car is extensive and we would like to help him to get his car back on the street and strip as soon as possible. Thats why the DFL club members cleaned out their closets and glass cabinets to find some stuff to sell on ebay. All the money we make through the auctions will be donated directly to Jürgen. So please check out the things we are selling:

http://shop.ebay.de/merchant/kundendienstmeister

More stuff will soon follow. Keep in mind, it's for a good purpose! Maybe you find something interesting and worth buying. We ship worldwide!

We will also release a new T-Shirt with a nice design incorporating Jürgens 57 oval. More details will follow soon. Shirts will be for sale by preordering them and again all the money we achieve will be donated to Jürgen!

Cheers,

Georg and all the DFL members

damn!  Was the first looker I fall in love with when I visited DDD2.

I'm curious for the T-shirts so maybe I can help him a bit with buying one...

good luck with the rebuild.

'Tis truly a sad thing, indeed. But I must commend you and your group of people, Georg, for all of your efforts towards getting him back on the street/track again. One of the best things about this passion of ours. I've seen many situations, like this, where someone needs help and fellow enthusiasts are there to step it up by helping out.

Thanks, Mark. We think it's just natural that we try to help him as good as we can.

The maico disc brakes seem to be ok, the original Empi 5s also (at least from what your eye can see), but one centercap is smashed.

Even if it's not nice to see how one of your friends crashes into the car of another friend - the comments and noises of the people make you grin.

I love this Bug. I blew me away like no other when I saw it at Spa in 05.

Good luck with the rebuild. I wish I could donate but after having had my second crash in two years with my Bug (neither my fault, one I wasn't even driving it) I'm all but out of cash.

Hi Jürgen / Georg,

I will take two T-Shirts!

I donate  1 off used Ronal 4 Lug alloy for sale on ebay.
I will check what I have that could be sold to get the car back on the road.

All members please do not forget, it is the fellow racers and friends that make the meetings so special!

All the best of luck to Jürgen.

Cheers Stephan

Hi Stephan,

thank you very much for your donation! Please send a picture and a description of the wheel to Dirk < 68bug_at_gmx.de >. He puts it on ebay. As soon as if the wheel is sold and payed, he will give you the address of the buyer and you can send the wheel to the new owner. Would that be ok?
Thanks again,

Georg
