No news

I've been to the workshop today, helping some with the new chassis, taking a few pics and giving an interview to the Profi magazine.
Pictures are on www.greenmonster.de .
Besids that, Dirk Wessel and the Le Coiffeur guys are in the US right now, taking pics and travelling all over the place to various race shops, drag races and tractor pulls and taking loads of pictures they said. Problem is, they can't get any quick internet connection there yet - so I am waiting for the pictures....

Wolpertinger is back!

Today at the DTTO member's meeting it was announced, Joseph Ries from Bavaria will be back in the driver's seat.
"Sepp" quitt modified pulling in the mid 90s and sold his two Griffon powered machines "Lady Emely" and "Wolpertinger" (a bavarian fairytale) and was not seen on the circuit anymore.
Lady Emely went to Austria and the Wolpertinger ended up in a hotel lounge. A few years ago the hotel was sold and the "Wolpi" was gone all of a sudden.
Last year Sepp and his old buddy Fritz Seiler made a return to the pulling circuit as promoters of the event at Hebertsfelden, which was quite a succes. Then he was offered to buy back his old tractor all of a sudden and did it for sentimental reasons. Well.. once you have a tractor and the pulling virus has you again, you might as well run it! So he is now busy to get it updated for todays rules and safety standards and plans to run a few pulls in the south, bringing back some long missed Griffon sound from Bavaria!
