Hello Mr. Gumpert!

So, is it the first days of summer and the fact that some places in Germany are still fighting with snow shovels??

Perhaps the strong Euro against the US Dollar for some car shopping? What about the Grand Canyon or proximity to Vegas??? Those are understandable reasons for Germans to visit Arizona in May!
But really, what could bring the Founder and President of Gumpert and maker of the Gumpert Apollo and his senior technician Hans-Peter Fischer all the way to Arizona?
Why is Mr. Gumpert shaking hands with the guy that just designed and drove the fastest Porsche in the world???
Why is Ian grinning like he just got a new bike for Christmas?? Stay tuned next week for some answers!

If you think YOU know all these answers. Reply here in the ZÜCZSPEED blog "comments" and the winner gets a free* case of RACE FUEL High Octane Energy Drink!

(Must be over 18 and able to swallow liquids)
