They say obsession takes many forms. For some, Kirk will always be the captain. For others, Empire was the height of the trilogy. For Team Turbo Schnitzel obsession means taking an unloved piece of rolling Scheiß and elevating it onto a gold-plated, revolving pedestal of glory for the world to respect and salute.
Our journey started with a beater 80’s Honda, a smart-assed co-worker, and that co-worker’s vacation to Switzerland. An innocent “Hey, let’s move VanHiel’s car” quickly crescendoed into two weeks of purple paint, fake wings, non-functional scoops and spinner hubcaps.
Alas, beauty is fleeting. Today’s Brittany Spears always becomes tomorrow’s Brittany Spears. Fortunately for Team Turbo Schnitzel, victory lives on for eternity!
That’s why were turning our custom car fabrication skills towards not just entering, but WINNING the 2008 24 Hours of Lemons!
We’ve chosen the Merkur XR4ti as our trusty steed for this epic clash of man and machine. We believe that it has what it takes to go the distance –the awesome power of a turbocharged Pinto engine coupled with the kind of exceptional reliability the automotive world has come to expect from the Germans.
Our particular ride started life as tragically as our Honda. It was left to decay in an amateur’s garage as an unfinished pile of bubba-engineered hacks and spotty bodywork. Miraculously, a positive pregnancy test and a shortage of cash liberated our needy soul from that amateur’s garage and into our hands!
Now in a good home, we intend to transform our emasculated Merkur with the same intensity and focus as our beloved Honda. With our lavish budget we intend to not only give it a new timing belt, but also change the oil! There is no limit to what this car is capable of, and we intend to show the world what a healthy pile of exquisitely misguided obsession can do!
Ausgezeichnet!
