Geeze, I wish I spoke German..picked up a video

Picked up a series of videos last night about restoring a 1970 911T...but, they're all in German!

10 part series, each "episode" being about 12-13 minutes in lenght. I think the video is called "Adventure Auto" per the Babelfish translation.

Anyone seen this?

Also picked up a British show called Wheeler Dealers, where they buy and "restore" -an old 924 for 1000 pounds total. Not a total restore really, more of a fix'er up, tune, and make it look pretty.

Wolf,

Are they spoken in German or in German video format? I have an old "master" deck that can take a VHS tape in ANY video format and output it in any other format. We used it while living in Germany to view local videos and output it to our American format VCR, where we could then record the video and audio to a format that our family in the states could view.

If this would help pls advise. I am fair with German but being in Johannesburg this week the telephone charges would be pretty high!

I'm sure there are other guys on the forum who have purchased foreign films that may be able to relate to this.

Not sure that most of these "foreign films" you are referring to need translation!
