Opels in Hemmings!!!!

Vickie, the Mini-Brute got a great picture in the August 2008 Hemmings Motor New. Also pictured is a line of GTs. Looking good, great spot about the Imports in Carlise.

Keith,

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!

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

Harold really is trying to give Otto a run for his money - he even put the correction in red. Those Hemmings guys really do like Opels!

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, 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

FYI - I was able to pick one of these up off eBay from a German seller (but on the U.S. eBay site). It is a very nice hard cover book full of great photos. All in German though of course...

Top line means "Making sure there is always a spark". Kind of ambiguous, since you can use spark for ignition and for the spark between 2 people ...

Did not pick up a German brochure for the new GT. If you want one, I can have my Dad send one over. Let me know.

GTRoy · 08-02-2008

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

In the September 2008 Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car, Page 10 is a blurb about Opels coming to Lowe's Motor Speedway in Harrisburg, North Carolina.

That picture isn't of Springfield, but probably Lowes Speedway.

Just picked up the latest issue of "the bible." Nice shot of your car Vicki.

Didn't realize they had that much lead time on there classified section. How much are you listing it for?

opelspyder · 09-16-2008

There is a GT in the October issue of "the car bible" Just a random picture of a black and red GT in at a show in New York or Jersey I believe

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!

BMWonly · 10-01-2008

Just received the November issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car. Has an article about the VW Rabbit (Golf) racing scene. However, one picture shows a Manta leading the field ...

BQS4 · 10-01-2008

That's an old picture reprinted from something like C&D. I have that article in my collection somewhere.
