The Famous VW Team Club Car
The VWTeam Club car: since the early 2000’s we have this really nice Volkswagen Golf MK2 for general use. Anyone who had the car in project status was able to use the club car to get around.

On the roof we placed an illuminated taxi sign which we got from a local taxi company. When is a bit unclear but at some

The last change came somewhere in the 2009 season. The exact timing is unknown, since we see the Taxi in the pictures of the VW Speed Midwintermeet but on our own event in the summer, we see the Pokal Jäger. The idea came from visiting German meetings and some guys called their car Pokal Jäger, which basically means Prize Hunter.
