Marcos Maniacs

GERMAN TEXT (English Text is below)

Hallo Christian,

Danke f\ufffdr die Erkl\ufffdrung.  Jetzt verstehe ich.  Nein, leider habe ich nicht 
das Gullwing in Japan gekauft.  Aber ich kaufte das 1966 Mini Marcos Werks 
Rennwagen 270DGJ in England.  Die Geschichte ist jetzt an diesem Internet 
Link:

http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/memcars/7000.html

Sagen Sie bitte "hallo" und "frohe Weihnachten" zu Klaus!  Er ist mein Hero. 
  Fragen Sie ihn nach dem Eifel Klassik Rennen von 1996 und wie er meine 
Gullwing Rennunfallbesch\ufffddigung auf einer regnerischen Nacht reparierte!

Mit Freundlichen Gr\ufffd\ufffden,
Andy

Hi Christian,

Thank you for the clarification.  Now I understand.

No, I have not purchased the Gullwing in Japan.  But I did purchase the 1966 
Mini Marcos race car 270DGJ in England.  The story is now at this Internet 
Link:

http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/memcars/7000.html

Please say hello and Merry Christmas to Klaus!  He is my hero.  Ask him 
about the Eifel Klassik race of 1996 and how he repaired my racing accident 
damage on a rainy night!

Best Regards,
Andy
