I have picked up the car yesterday and wrote a story in German. Will need the weekend to translate. The most impressive thing before riding the horse was the fact, that they had 6 VX220 on their shopfloor, some of which will be delivered before the weekend. 3 from outside of Germany ;-) The car itself is an unbelievable experience.
More at the weekend!

Bablefish translation: " Snow. Finally well arrived. The team expects me with rolls and coffee. Which makes me finished is the fact that I any longer alone am not. 6 Speedster stand in resound. From all world. one of the Chris Vogeler... All are already nearly finished. Center in it mine clearly the most beautiful one. It strikes me almost over. My black estimating with compressor, class tire, somewhat more deeply, a wheel off. After the rolls it is made finished then. The last clips drauf and everything still times beautifully. Since the Hartmut sleeps always long, the Alfred suggests a test run, makes clear we. WITHOUT VERDECK with -2°. Alfred is bang hard. It starts the small one, brummig dully/mustily however not too loud. Thus raus in the free. Alfred can drive car, after 5 minutes is the oil temperature on 60° and my ears on 0°. Alfred pulls it to direction Waeldchen... a test track. Car lies well, we drives slowly... Man I wants ran.. Arrived in the Waeldchen. Alfred gives to gas. a world breaks down, means head strikes it to the rear, a dull/musty roar, 60,80,100,XXX,XXX shifts back, 180° turn into drift, raus from the Waeldchen XXX, 100, 80, 60. Slowly wars I again feeling in the neck. Alfred is not contently, there would go still more, still more??? Thus again back, ears abgefroren now, all the same. Hartmut rose now already, cars comes on the test stand, characteristic diagram adapted, measured, characteristic diagram adapted, measured. After two hours we are da..305NM over a wide range, 181kW, 247PS with 6500U/min. Lambda between 1.0 (partial load) and 0,87 with full load. So is it. Car is gewienert. I do not want to have the ugly compressor emblem drauf, all protests help anything. Then around 15:30 the HITEC Speedster No1 is deliver ready. All documents examined, really everything registered, appraisals available, exhaust system etc. not badly, must a heath work have been. It wants loosely, there we state that the heating strikes, does not go turning any longer, it knows... Still fast on fair trading, class service is thus repaired. Over 16:00 go it loosely, I sit in it and drive off. Chassis and attitude first cream, compared we locally with Oehlins and others. Equally. Tuning well, not too deeply, one feels the road and like the car reacted, nevertheless not too hard. Tires are warm, Grip seem good. Drive carefully by the two washer on the motorway. The machine pulls, in partial load drives it like in former times, it wants however to more, well on de Autobahn gives I it more, with 80 in the 3ten steps I for the first time drauf. So I do not have ever experienced which, although I already drove Porsche turbo and also Speedster. It strikes me into the seat, wars tears into the eyes, steering wheel vibrates quietly, to tail wackelt, but not dangerously, tire quietschen, exhaust system raves, roars, after 2 seconds end it rattles, muck limiter, thus into the 4ten. The whole still times, exactly the same, ends with approx. 200km/h. That cannot be nevertheless was. 5ter Bergenzer 230km/h. down of the gas, it humming ELT, slams a little, thereafter peace. Everything again like before. Cannot be true nevertheless, I must have dreamed. Thus the whole orchestra again. It is reality. Now try I the whole times in the motorway curve of the A6 to Frankfurt more rueber to the A6 to Ludwigshafen. 3ter course and fire, drift, can be proportioned exactly, more became easier me to killen, by the gas and directly again drauf, short jerk and power again there. Mannomann. This combination would have to be forbidden. On the A61 (where the delimitation for 10km is waived) set I with 120 on the left trace, behind me come themselves each quantity of cars, leave all past, but the victim, Lichthupender Carrera 4S comes there. I make not place, wait a little, before me a still more slower one (Renault with HAT), down for 80kmh, the Renault make place. 3ter, I steps purely, the Schwaenzeln knows I already, who rave orchestras, now comes plays the violin in addition. The Porsche is surprised, forgets gas to give, stays, does not come not ran, there comes the building site sign, which seize Fedoros well, the Carrera pull beside me, look, looks, looks, grinst, greets. Which may be for equipment. No notion, the acceleration measurement of HITEC had given 4,3 seconds of 0-100kmh, (created in the 2ten, with "something" over 6500 U/min). No notion where the Carrera lies in such a way. Now I become nevertheless tiredly, only few kilometers home, baby come not over 75° water and 95° oil temp, new thermostat and frost make it. Now into the garage, beautifully and continues to go tomorrow, tomorrow it packs...... Oh the Hartmut says with his new exhaust elbow union and the reinforcement of the rear framework comes still times more steam... Naja, that is which for the first inspection. Thank you to the team with HITEC, the 6 months made genuinly fun. The result is force and I three class types to know learned, those except compressors of everything, everything at our vehicle to really make be able." Tried to guesstimate the paragraphic as bablefish killed it for me Cheers, Paul.

Well, I just read it for myself and i'm none the wiser! Excellent. Perhaps we will have to be content with looking at the pictures for the moment. Mildly amusing translation, though tee hee... Cheers, Paul.

[Flanners]

Alfred is bang hard! Seriously can't wait till the translation.

[paulf-cam]

However, "Hartmut says with his new exhaust elbow union".... Thats gotta hurt!

Cheers, Paul.
