Ya like Rick said Kirin, I think the meaning was when another club puts on a function you guys are there to help out - Like the Great Canadian last year, Kafer Kraft volunteered and helped out, same with shows this year we know we can count on you guys to help out.
Same goes for Dglvk and Dvkk - if they ask, we are there for them and vise versa.

personally, i would like to thank all the local clubs. i think you all do a great job representing what driving/racing/owning an a/c vw is all about. i commend you all for the work you've done putting on shows and cruises, advertising events and maintaining websites.

keep up the good work DVKK, DGVLK and Kafer Kraft. :rockon:

As far as difference between DGLVK and DVKK - not much, same love of the hobby, same need for speed, slightly different membership criteria, and we have the FASTEST aircooled around.
Since you bring up the point, I gotta ask, since the formation of the common air club, what's the fastest 1/4 time recorded by any club member?

Post says \"fastest aircooled around\" as proven by turbo Jim the previous owner
And what's with the \"common\" air club? translation is wicked air.

Ok, I see now.  The slowest DVKK car has been proven to be faster than the fastest from the common air club.  How do you get \"FASTEST aircooled around\" out of that?

James, you should have checked into the translation first.  The person you asked must speak Bavarian slang or something.  Go here: http://babelfish.altavista.com/  and see for yourself.

Bruce, I guess the term loosly translates isn't in your vocabulary. Give your head a shake!

Hey Bruce,

We are not slamming your club. or its name. Keep that in check. We are trying to have fun and create some fun competition amongst everyone.
I know you are a very knowledgable man, So I would think you are not meaning to offend. [_[

Bruce why don't you try typing in Wicked Air, then see what you get.

Like Shane said its good to create some fun competion between the clubs but knocking a clubs name/logo isn't alright. But this is the internet and sometimes things typed come across different than they were intended, so I'll give you the chance to explain what your position is. Although this is twice you've brought this name issue up so I'm thinking you might really have an issue with it..

And according to my father in law - who was born and raised in germany, then moved over to canada when he was 30 - the translation is to a german slang word for wicked.

Just for the record...

I went to the link Bruce posted. \"Wicked Air\" translates into your club name when done from english to german. Your club name translates into \"common air\" from german to english. I guess that's why your website says \"Loosely translates\". cause it does.  

I have no membership in any club anymore, but when I was running Strictly German a few years back, I always had the impression that the DVKK were snobs. I then met most of them and found out how wrong my thoughts of that club is, almost everyone I met were great people. Now I look at this topic and think why did I ever think they were snobs??  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes: If Bruce is representing, I am sure there is more folk that think that.

Sounds like alphabet soup to me.

How do newbs like me tell the two clubs apart?  The one with the more letters in it is the club that promotes speed?  Or is the shorter acronym'd one?

  :wacko:

Oh,  :unsure:

um, then which one needs the speedy car membership?  Nice looking cars?

I thought there was a difference between the two?  I forget now.

Man, lighten up.  Can't ya take a bit of ribbing?  Hey, I didn't start the smack talk about who had the fastest cars!!!!
One thing you have to beware of is half the Germans who see your club's name will think \"common?\"  
Hey Stephan, what does your father have to say about this?
I remember a guy on Volkswebbin who called himself \"Zwitterboy\".  Until I told him what that meant to any German that didn't know VWs.  Zwitter has had a regular definition since long before the 50s

This is the fundamental problem with email/ Internet these days. When one person may be joking around another may take it personal and you can't tell the difference in type...

When you cut through all the crap... who gives a rats ass about the translation! The main thing is having another club in the area promoting VW's will do nothing but good things.  Keep up the efforts Dglvk, it's gonna be a fun summer ahead.

I'm not \"slamming\" the club or its name.  Just a little friendly poking fun.  There is a big difference, and slamming was not my original intent.  This is what smack talk is all about isn't it?  There is no personal offense intended.  
 If its  \"about havin fun...
Whatever the name be...\"  why get upset over a few simple words?

Many times I've heard people comment about my car, calling it a Super Beetle or a Fat Chick car.  Obviously they hate the car.  But I don't care what they say, they are just words.  Geoff is constantly calling my car a Super Beetle, but I know its just friendly poking fun, he's not slamming the car.  

I've seen many instances of people jumping all over James far worse than this, he seems to take it all in stride.  (when are we going to see your car move under its own power?)  I've thought several times, \"geez, give the guy a break, so what if he's slow at building his car\".

From the pics of the drag bar installation it looks like the bolts holding the strap going over the bell housing are the right way round.   Hey, what is that strap for anyway?

Der Gemeine Luft Volkswagen Klub

means:

The Mean Air Volkswagen Club

when you say: Das ist sehr gemein - it means, that is very mean

gemein = mean

I think it actually sounds better than \"wicked\" (just opinion...so good choice in the end :))

anyways, I'm glad another club has risen up and is going to start being deeply involved in the Vdub scene!

James, the only reason I bring it up is that it appears to have no purpose, while adding weight.  I seem to recall you not liking the way it went over the top.
