Title: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Georg/DFL on June 16, 2009, 21:27:44 pm 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 Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: wolfswest on June 16, 2009, 21:32:02 pm 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. Dem Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: louisb on June 16, 2009, 21:41:58 pm That sucks. Hope he gets it back on the road soon.

Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: vwcab on June 16, 2009, 22:29:28 pm That's so bad,I hope it will be rebuilt real soon.(t-shirt for me too)

Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Rennsurfer on June 17, 2009, 00:23:55 am '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.
Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Stephan S on June 17, 2009, 00:25:33 am Georg, so sorry to hear about this...
Did the (rare) disc brakes suffer as well? Please wish Jürgen all the best. Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Dirk / DFL on June 17, 2009, 08:18:18 am Hello,
he crashed into the rigth side of the buggy form Otto, the buggy has just some scratches.... :-X Unbelievebele when you see the oval?! I think they had real luck.... :o Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Georg/DFL on June 17, 2009, 08:30:08 am 'Tis truly a sad thing, indeed.

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. Georg, so sorry to hear about this... Did the (rare) disc brakes suffer as well? Please wish Jürgen all the best. 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.

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 Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Georg/DFL on June 18, 2009, 13:00:22 pm 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 Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: speedwell on June 18, 2009, 14:12:40 pm 1 t shirt (xl)for me

At least here in Germany the "normal" VW scene is a bit different. Not everybody, but most of the people for sure.

jürgens car is a really fast and nice car!!! why are you angry?!? dirk Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Russell on August 29, 2009, 23:46:07 pm hello russell, jürgens car is a really fast and nice car!!! why are you angry?!? dirk Im not angry at Jurgen at all in fact i wanted to help...... but no-one else did ? not one german from his club offered to buy a tee-shirt or bid on a run in stutt bee, I only had 1 offer from France..... I had expected some of the club members to help with this also but from what Ive seen most things sold went to people outwith the club ! maybe ive picked it up wrong but i never heard from anyone not even Georg who promised a PM !!! Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Tobi/DFL on August 30, 2009, 09:01:41 am Hi Russel,
I think you really got something wrong! There have been lots of parts donations from clubmembers which were either sold via internet forums or ebay as a donation for Jürgen. The second idea was to make some T-shirts. The problem is that not all people that ordered a T-shirt have already paid, so Olaf A./DFL who makes the shirts for us couldn´t start to produce them. Regarding the PM George promised you: all I can say is the he had quite some trouble at his job the last few weeks and will probably simply have forgotten to send you the PM! Anyway...I don´t know the exact number BUT even without the profit from selling the shirts we have already collected a nice amount of money thanks to the help of everybody who donated stuff for sale. So thank you all for your help! When the shirts are sold the complete sum that we are handing out to Jürgen will be announced here in the LOUNGE. Thanks! Tobi Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Wünderwolff on August 30, 2009, 20:16:40 pm I think you got it all wrong Russel, I have met the DFL in person on one of their bowling nights, talk about a close knit club. Don't forget they all live miles and miles apart, scattered all over Germany only bound by the Cal Look. Really a club to take an example from. And like Tobi said, it was them who triggered the fundraiser in the first place and they all dug deep in their personal stashes to sell items to sponsor the rebuild.
Title: Re: Build in years, destroyed in seconds Post by: Helge/DFL on August 30, 2009, 21:17:50 pm Russel, do you come to the DAS Drag Day #7? Would you offer the ride again? No for me, but maybe somebody else is thinking about it.

Tobi It wasnt the club tee shirts i was talking about it was the ones that i offered for sale at EBI to help - noone wanted them not even for a rag and this was me trying to help get some funds for the rebuild.... I think you got it all wrong Russel, I have met the DFL in person on one of their bowling nights, talk about a close knit club. Don't forget they all live miles and miles apart, scattered all over Germany only bound by the Cal Look. Really a club to take an example from. And like Tobi said, it was them who triggered the fundraiser in the first place and they all dug deep in their personal stashes to sell items to sponsor the rebuild. For the record I have no beef with the Club as a Cal look Club, as I met many of the guys and they are great along with there superb cars, however i was only stating that like others i tried to help but in my case no one appeared interested, thats all.

Georg, if you guys want to sell them and collect the money ill give you some stock on Thursday as well Also as Stutt Bee wil be at the track I will arrange for Paul Schley to drive stutt bee down the track hard with a fellow lounger as passanger, this will be open to the highest bidder by PM i will not post the highest offer but PM me your best cash offer and the winner will be announced on Monday 29th June, bidding closes this Friday 26th June at 9pm Euro time.

please keep in mind, that only 2 (or 3?) DFL members were present at this years EBI. Be very sure that we've done everything we could, to support Jürgen. Speaking for me personally and not for the club: As a club member and friend of Jürgen, it is more value for me, if I would give the money directly to Jürgen, instead of spending it on a ride down the track as a passenger, whoever the driver is. Visiting the lounge only 2-3 times a year (shame on me, I know), I've only heard recently from your offer and I think you know, that we're thankful for all kinds of help. Maybe it was just bad timing with many DFL members not going to EBI. Regards Andi |
