RGB/ADAC Rallye 2014
Well, it is difficult to believe that it was two weeks ago, but I have been busy. Oh, I know that I could have posted this effortlessly on Facebook, but I am finished with providing content to support “Zuckerbucks.” Nope, nope and NOPERS! The content I post is my property. Remember, if it is for free, you are the product. I have owned this website and paid for the hosting for over 20 years. It is time that I made use of it.
On the 12th of May, we took “Lucille” out on a Rallye sponsored by The Renngemeinschaft Bergisch Gladbach. I have to say that it was imperative that we make the tour as a “shake-down run” before Drag Day on the 25th of May, (which happens to be our 17th Wedding Anniversary), Last year was a debacle that I never want, nor intend to repeat. I am extremely thankful for the help and support from the shop where I work, Melchert automobile, GmbH. I was given time nights and weekends to work out a few small issues before the Rallye, and it made it possible to go on the Rallye with confidence. Taking a car set up for Drag racing really took its toll on my clutch knee, though. Especially with the grabbing clutch pedal. I learned a new term: “Cavalier Start.” It was not meant as a compliment, though.
85 cars were registered, but I believe that over 90 participated. I ran into a few old friends, as well as a few customers. It was a great day. I really expected burgers at the midday pause at Göbbels, though. Oh, and that was where I learned the new term.
Unfortunately, I was driving, and my co-pilot Jonas did not take any photos of the wonderful landscapes we saw on the route.
Here are a few photos from the Marktplatz in front of the City Hall in Bergisch Gladbach
I am relatively certain that this is a kit-car. There was no chance to look under the hood.
