Re: 30th Anniversary Meet in Graz

Hot off the press...

I have just viewed the German G-Wagen club site and have just learned that the trip to the Schockl Mountain, the aclaimed G-Wagens off-road test track has been confirmed Open as an event, for the 30th Meet this year, latter in June.

Also, the dead line for registary has been postporned to a new date now.

The new dead line date is 15th April, 2009.

Regards,

[b]Who is going as of now [/b]

If anyone else is interested in going on this Event
contact Mark or Howard or Myself

There is no one from Ireland going as of now

Its a bit to costly to have to pay the crazy price as
well as getting and staying there

:shock: Thanks for the offers, but too late!
Have a new bed companion, a large black boy, very cuddly and a bit to hairy for my liking. Farts and snores as much as Shaun :lol:
No news from the boys as of yet, must be having good time.

Aaaah but unlike Dee, Dawny and i have have had Bob and Shaun around for 20 plus years :!: and you know what they say about absence :D
We do know they are alive as I've had texts from Howard (on Bobs behalf)asking for chassis number for our G - so he's obviously spending as well :shock:

MP44 (Maschinenpistole), aka StG44 (Sturmgewehr)... the first mass produced assault rifle using intermediate rifle rounds (7.92 x 33mm). The first assault rifle was the MKb 42 (Maschinenkarabiner) i believe.

I am not sure about this one... klochs might refer to H&K, Heckler & Koch, a German defense manufacturing company that produces various small arms.

However, klochs might mean Glock, an Austrian firearm manufacturing company.
