Dirk,

I like your shirt design very very much ). I did not know that the meet had a shirt at all.

As a MK2 driver myself I would want the MK2 on the shirt as you point out. If you would like me to continue with my shirt layout I could add a MK2 and a MK3 with some real logos and some country flags. If you have an official design I don't want to derail your progress.

Would take one already. I particularly like the idea of having all 3 type 53s on one and the same T-shirt

Tempest and Dirk,

Thank you for your input.
This is my next step on a shirt design. The art is not finished as you can see. I did the MK2 real fast with no picture to look at so it is not up to our standards yet. I don't have a Corrado in it yet but I will add a front view.

Is it OK to use the Karmann logo like this?

That 2nd design looks really neat already

Although, despite what Dirk said about the Rado (for which he gets a hefty ), personally I would still like to see a Corrado in there, too, I suppose it may upset the symmetry of the current design somewhat. Then again, Doug, I'm sure you can sort something in that department

Justification for putting a Corrado in? Well, it is a type 53 after all, once called a Scirocco by the real VW department, i.e. the engineering department (not those marketing monkeys ), and given that not a single Mk1 or Mk2 Rocco will be joining in from Britain rather than 6 Mk3s, it would even encourage my British fellow-travellers on this holy trip to get such a shirt, if they'd see their beloved Corrado on the shirt

Just gives Dirk more work ironing work (erm, heat transfer, as it's technically known)

This is what I was thinking.................... For the Corrado.
Top center for all the folks with the newest 53.

Although you've managed to keep a very nice symmetry in the above design (that of a triangle), I would have to agree with Dirk, that the Corrado stands out a bit too much. I don't know whether the background bits of the design could be extended upward, such that the Corrado blends in a little bit more?

I know, I'm a bl**dy moan, especially as I wouldn't be able to do it any better myself.

>We shouldn't forget that it is mainly a Scirocco gathering

Correct, see my comment above, there will be 3 Mks of Roccos attending, 1 through to 3 That's why all 3 generations should ideally be featured in a T-shirt.

OK I will remove the Corrodo for now.

This is the latest.......

This is a better look at the cars. I still have some work to do on them.

@ Dirk,

I understand 100%.
I am a Designer so I see how the design works with just the two (Sciroccos)on the back. I could make a front detail with the Corrado. I have never even driven a Corrado but I want to have one some day. As you know I am a Scirocco person but I understand the love for all Karmann cars.

The Shirt file is in Corel Draw. I can send you the file in a format that you can work with. I don't know what that is now????

Do you want text in German? The design is all in USA text (note the date) and you may want it your way??

The colour version above with the beautiful (IMHO anyway ) rendering of the 2 Roccos is darn near perfect (I'd call it perfect anyway).

I'd be happy with that design on a T-shirt, and was thinking that a 2nd version (which I'd also take) would be to replace the Mk2 Rocco with a Mk3. There would be 2 versions then, to please fans of all 3 generations. I think it's fair to say, that the Mk1 Rocco is still loved most by most, hence my suggestion of leaving in the Mk1 in the T-shirt version with the Corrado in it.

To carry on on this theme, I suppose Dirk would want a version where the Mk2 is replaced by a Hornstein

>I have never even driven a Corrado but I want to have one some day.
Well, that can and will be changed in August then You'll probably even have the choice: LHD or RHD Corrado? 16V, G60 or VR6? European or US-spec? G-Lader that goes pop? Erm, no, maybe not

>The design is all in USA text (note the date)
Happy with as it is, date in that format is often used in the UK, too. Hence shouldn't be a problem for my people It is this year becoming a truly international gathering, anyway

>I still like corrados,

You nearly had me worried there
