Yes I do.But first i made my cars for myself,but in the last 2 years I sell a lot in germany.My bodys are not finished.I made it in the color you want.You must fix the windows and there are no decals on it.Claus get a light blue one of the Karman.He loves that color.

Nice Type 14 KG :thumbsup:

A more civilized version would be really cool too (I mean without wing)

And welcome to this HO board Stefan

I'm quite a neighbor for you, considered almost all of the guys here are from US of A.

I'm living in the french part of Schweiz so I can't really speak a lot auf Deutsch, tut mir leid :freak:

Hey Zanza, are you also in the german slotcarboard?
If you have time ,we made a racing weekend at my Fallertrack at the end of July 2007 itīs called Rock am Slot.Fracois visits me last year and Christoph(he is from Austria near Switzerland and Liechtenstein)
So if you want to come your welcome.

Rock am Slot, it sound great :-) kinda Rock am Ring
Where are you located in Germany? End of July it could be cool, I'll note it.

I've registred and posted 3-4 times on H0forum.de, following Francois's advices and I've found one nice fellow also from Switzerland and we've talked some times by MP but I'm not really present on the german board as I can't write as good in gemran as I can in English, that's why

Very Cool Karman. Love the color and the body style. Kind of a mod twist on an old car.

Hello, Stefan-

Welcome to the slot-board!

This is one wild Ghia! I really admire what you've done with the whole rear glass/boot thing- very innovative! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

And, to tell the truth- I like your landscaping just as much!


Please keep up posted of your custom workings-
(We all love pics...:) )


Cheers..

A very different approach to the Ghia... very nice. If you are trying to emmulate Claus' work, I'd have to say you picked a fine role model, and you are right on target. :thumbsup: dave

You guys would fit right in with some of the Chicago crowd. The long haired guy appears to be thinking; "ya-ya, just shut up and pass that already!" :o :p

ROFL!

I honestly swear that I (the guy with the orange T-shirt) was smoking ordinary PIPE TOBACCO!!! Weīre not living in the Netherlands, you know (but not too far from there, too... :rolleyes: )! :hat:

Greetings from Germany,

Claus

BTW: I just had a Ghia kit from Stefan in the mail today - it looks like a lot of fun not only to build and finish that body! Awesome work he did!!! :thumbsup:
