Set your TIVO or VCR for to catch Car Crazy on Mar 10th.
I just got a call from Curtis Matovich (one or the producers). I had sent a letter and pix of the bad *** Smack Black German Look car and it was going to be used on the air on March 10th but the picture files got wiped out on their computer. Well Barry Meguiar told pore Curtis and his graphic thech Brad to get in touch with me so I could get some pix to them by Thursday. I'm up at Jakes right now building the 3L, but I will send some of the pix that were done by Randy Wilson (pro that shot my car for a mag.)as soon as I get home tomorrow night.
Thanks for the heads up Zen.

and since the brunt of the letter was talking about the VKG and we just switched our site over...

All VKG members need to get on the new site and get some content up there on your car. Create the image galleries as recommended in the email I sent out (email me if you didn't get it as you will need it to register on the site), start up some blogs, whatever. If the VKG is going to get mentioned on air, we need to make sure there is something worth seeing on the new site.

I hope so...I never got the e-mail...check the new site out and tried to log in, I couldnt so Im guessing I'll have access to it through the e-mail? BTW, the new site is awsome guys, I like the layout better and I like how the points are displayed. It makes us look more pro than before...well IMO! :rolleyes:
Great news on the show coverage...This is great exposure to the german look and to the VKG! Great news...and I hope I can catch it on time...if not is anyone recording it? I might be busy, but i dont know for sure right now!

Ahh ok .. no wonder... SpeedTV is a subscription only channel here :bawling:

Actually "Car Crazy" is a show more about older classier cars....Berry seems to have better taste than most of those other shows.

Sounds Great though, I will deffinately see this one if its on three times! :D

Kudos man...

... on SPEED channel, right? (That's Channel 607 for DirecTV folks)
And I presume Mar 10 2:30AM really means Mar 11, early morning ... and these times are Eastern time zone, USA.

This is great! I can't wait to watch! :D

OK I got East coast feed here and it's going to be on the 10th at 5:30pm. I marked it, and I'll post up my thoughts on the show after I see it.

I guess I better go buy a tape to record it. I have no idea what it is going to be like. Other than the email I sent was about the VKG club.

i only have Tivo. so will be recoreded, but only i get to enjoy it. :cool:

March 9th 2005, 20:45

is anyone else going to record the show on vhs or dvd? I just spoke to my shift boss today and he said that I may be able to take the day off and work and extra day later on....but he wasnt certain about the whole deal!

(he's kinda hard to work with when it comes to time off) :o

I'm going to record it on VHS then get my friend to burn it onto DVD. It will be on a couple more times in the week. Look on the Spedd TV website. I'm sure it will be a short segment at the end of the show, it shouldn't be worth begging for a day off. But it will be a TV spot for the VKG, few car clubs can say that. :agree:

Congrats Dave they did you're Super justice. The Kafer Cup Super vs a 911 GT2 already happened with the Super winning in everything except top speed, I think that was back in '94 or '95.

:agree: :agree: that was very cool. just the feeling i want to create by going to some of the euro car shows where the vintage Porsche guys are. :D

March 10th 2005, 22:17

SWEET!!!! Nice work there guys....congrats again Dave! :agree:
I think it would be sweet if a VKG car turned over a GT2 :laugh:

The day off was worth it....though short, the segment was great, and the VKG was mentioned on national TV!

Thanks fellas. They did "edit" it a little. It's cool that they spent some time on it anddidn't just blow thru it. I think it was way cool,,,,,,,, but I'm a little biased. ;)
I should have told them I did put the smack down on a Boxter back in Dec. Maybe the driver of that car saw the show tonight. :laugh:

hybrid_john

March 10th 2005, 23:05

Right on Dave...though it wasnt my car on the show...I still felt a sense of prid knowing I belong to a Gruppe like this :laugh:

Hopefully one day the VKG will have more broadcasts on national television :laugh:

was way cool the way he was going on about VW's beating up on Porsches :D

March 11th 2005, 12:18

very cool, i stayed up till the 11:30 show (missed the earlier one)... didnt know it was goign to be the LAST this on the show :D

It's cool to see that the German look is getting out there. And i agree with what John was saying about having pride knowing we are all apart of this group :agree:

Dave Your car was looking very sharp on TV BTW! i wish they would have gotten some video to show! that would have been sweet!

I don't have any video of my car yet.
As for Berry wanting to see a match race between a VW and Carrera,,,,, I emailed his producer and directed him to the germanlook home page then to the feature of VW vs Porsche were just such a spanking was documented. Also directed him to the videos on the mulimedia page. :agree:
