<VV> serious problem with my turbo engine

[Ulli Dittmar]

and the biggest problem is that the German MotorVision TV wants to make a complete show with the Corsa - the set will be mid of September, air play is October 01. - the shows name is "Classic Rides" and is all about Corvair as one of the first turbo cars,. A friend from North Germany is coming down to Muich with his 64 Spyder and mine would be the one for the LM series.
If i can not get the problem solved they will skip and promote Porsche as one of the first Turbo cars - what a shame.
