Just thought I would let you all know that SPEEDGEAR is offering 2 shirts and a lid for Auto Union in this months publication....

Looks like a big deal for Brun.

T-shirts and a baseball cap! Is nothing sacred these days! Imagine Rosemeyer driving and wearing a f*****g baseball cap!

Ooops, lapsing into one of my rants again

[Holger Merten]

Trust me Brun.

A real AU fan like you should wear a f*****g baseball cap!

[Brun]

Well, I'd go for the T-shirt, but no, definately no baseball cap. Nonononono. Only true Auto Union fans know how to dress properly:

Well done Brun. As a DKW worksdriver, there would have been a chance to get in the big GP-team. If you had manged the Nachwuchsfahrerprüfung on the Ring. And you could start as cadett with Rosemeyer and Pietsch for the 1935 season.

Right! Move over, Bernd I need room to do my four-wheel drifts

But take care. Feuereissen wouldn't aprciate any accident with those expecive cars. We need them for the GP at the Ring.

With the chance to meet the lovely Ilse in the flesh (as it were). I'm sure she would go for your AU baseball cap.

[Holger Merten]

That's what I mean Tim. Brun should dress up like a cool guy and not as an old fashioned DKW two stroke driver.

[Brun]

Hah! Ilse, Baby Hoffman, they'd all be at my feet! As Goethe put it so nicely - or was it Nietzsche?- Ich bin so cool dass es hinter mir schneit. (I am so cool that it starts to snow behind my back).

BTW, this would make a nice new thread. The women of the 1930s GP drivers.

[Holger Merten]

Try it Brun.

Go for it. Ask Elly again what she thinks of them.
