Dear Friends of the 2CV
Our organization is named "2CV-WET 2007 e. V."
The aim of our organization is to promote and sustain the philosophy of the 2CV, to protect the interests of the 2CV lovers and to organize and to cultivate national and international contacts.
These aims, among many others, should be accomplished through our organization by arranging and supporting national and international meetings of the 2CV Friends.
It's our dream to organize a World Meeting of 2CV friends in Germany to keep the 2CV alive as an original and unique car and for some unfortunately just in their memories.
Therefore, our organization and many German 2CV enthusiasts apply for the World Meeting in the year 2009 to make our dream come true. Thus, we have the opportunity to show you our country with all these renowned sites and to celebrate a smashing big party with all our friends.
Time, Places and Activities
The Meeting is scheduled at the end of July 2009. It's the height of the summer season in Germany with presumably lots of sunshine.
There is one meeting place under close consideration. It is located in central Germany and very well and easily reachable through our toll free Autobahn motor-ways.
The Loreley, a large rock at the banks of the river Rhine is enshrined of a mystical old tale. The captains of the barges passing by were so enticed by a pretty blond woman sitting on the rock combing her long blond hair that they ship wrecked immediately. Heinrich Heine a famous German philosopher made this tale very popular that's why it's a must for many tourists. Unfortunately you don't see the blond lady anymore because the noisy rock festivals nearby have driven her from the small mountain these days.
The meeting site, known for its festivals, is located about 150 meters above the Rhine valley, already furnished with all the facilities and infrastructure to serve our purpose. From the large meadows (about 170. 000 m²) you can see many castles lined up along the river Rhine inviting you for a sightseeing tour. On your way to these haunted castles you have to stop at a wine tasting seminar to become a connoisseur of the local whine. The most famous spot for wine drinking is Rüdesheim with its typical half-timbered homes. An experience you will never forget is to browse through the Drosselgasse with its unique German Gasthouses and shops selling German country art. If you want to go on a river cruise you will see all the historic sites, wine yards on the slopes of the valley from a different perspective. If you are looking for tranquility you can go on a hike or bike ride in the wooded middle mountains stretching out from the meeting site. Camping sites and small country hotels are pleased to accommodate you after the world meeting.
And yet there is so much more to experience in Germany, the country of the German Philosophers like Goethe and Heinrich Heine, the many local beer festivities with brass music or wine tasting festivals, all very popular at this time of the season.
We are also going to arrange Raids in Germany after the meeting to take you to some exciting corners of Germany, you have never been before.
All this and much more is easily accessible for you because Germany is in central Europe, the hub of all highways crossing through Europe, the crossroad where all 2CV drivers instinctively meet the flock. Let the chatter and clatter fly out into the world to call them all.
We are looking forward to meet you probably in Germany in 2009 and in 2005 presumably in SCOTLAND.
