Didn't you use to live up in that area at one time or at least have kin there? Get 'em Otto!Vickie, I'll take Keith's word for it that it looks good, because we won't get that magazine for at least another month or two around here. Congrats! Harold |

Moderator wannabe
Now Harold, I know jealousy has overtaken you as Roy has become the new Moderator, but you do not have to show off by correcting everyones spelling, to show them you would be a great candidate for moderator

More GT's in car magazines !!!
Just came back from a short trip to Germany, and got the latest "Motor Klassik" at the airport. Bosch is advertizing their spark plugs with a red (US version of the ) GT.
Also, the September issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car shows another picture of last year's Springfield, IL car show, to announce this year's AutoFair at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Harrisburg, NC. Pretty cool ![]() Dieter |

Zunderkerzen Ad
Dieter, Great Zunderkerzen Ad ! Thanks for posting. Would you please translate to English the top line, "Damit........" . I have Cassells German-English Dictonary but it has too many choices for every word. Did you bring back a brochure for new Opel GT ? I have one for Saturn Sky, wondering about difference. Thanks, Roy

Translation
Thanks, I couldn't make much sense of it on my own. I like the way the lines of car and plug match at rear body/plug base and front fender/plug tip also, great fit/fine ad! Makes me want to buy sparkplugs and drive my GT! Doing a tune-up next week. I have dealer brochure for Opel Speedster, in German of course, would be happy to have same for new Opel GT. let me know cost, postage, etc. , I will cover it. ( I subscribed to Flash for a year so know postage isn't free). Thanks again. ..Roy

I had written Hemmings a few months ago about our "National" event at Lowe's but I never heard back from them. I guess they printed something about it... Cool.....
The picture in the article is Tom's Adkins' GT at Lowe's Motor Speedway from a previous year!

The September, 2009 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic features a six page spread on the Bitter SC. The featured car is a 1985 black 3.8 litre automatic belonging to a gentleman named David Miller. The article heavily praises the Opel Sentator and the parts it contributed to the Bitter SC. The issue also features Opel as the marque in the Famous Over There series. Small pics of Jim/Timemachine's yellow Manta and the ultra low mile red GT (I think it is Flyboy's??) are shown. The article gives a brief overview of Opel history, its U.S. involvement through various cars/GM marques, and predicts for the future that "one way or another, Opel will likely have a hand in something coming to American shores."

I check it out at the Barnes and Noble Library yesterday.
Good Opel reading. Jim sure gets frequent coverage out of Hemmings, lol!
