50' graveyard

Post by hifibug57 »

Hi Folks, good to be back on the forum after having been off-vwsa-site for a while
I have found the following in a German magazine
Let me give you a quick brief here:
Its about some airhead who turned 50 a few years ago and decided to have a bash of a different kind:
He bought fifty cars manufactured in the year of his birth (1950) along with some property and placed them there.
Since then he is leaving them standing there in a "celebration of decay"
Have a look at the Rusting Gems

Tut mir leid, had nicht gewusst. So dann ein paar jaar zuruck als wir uns in Primi gesehen hat, warst du dann auch bei ferien?
Sorry, never learned to actually write German.

I am sure some of the older folk would be keen on a reunion at the old place... Ferrymans.
Maybe HR will bring your old KG too if we ask him nicely ;-)
