Default German to English (translation?)

The following words are those I couldn't translate from Theo's website (The Netherlands)

http://home.wxs.nl/~Jennit/Technical/Tips/MyTip544.htm

He has listed the Cd of various Posche models.

Flachbau, Hechlügel, Jubi, Bongers, Elfertreff zusammengstellte, MG, enstprechen den Elfern

Flachbau - slant nose or flat building
Heckflügel - rear wing
Jubi - ??? (could be a short form for Jubiläum - anniversary)
Bongers - ???
Elfertreff - Meeting of '11s (911s)
zusammengstellte - put together
MG - ??? (maybe the initials of Markus?)
enstprechen den Elfern - similar to '11s (911s)

I think you will find that by Bongers he is referring to data provided by Marc Bongers.
Marc is a German Author who worked for Porsche for many years. He is now the Sales and Marketing director of RUF.
You will see in the line above the (Bongers) is (Frere) which clearly means he is using info from Paul Frere.
Pity the guy did not check his data though. No such animal as a 994.
Ciao,
Adrian.

I think everybody will understand the information given. That's what counts most. Thanks for posting this!

Now let's hope Randy doesn't move it to the General Porsche discussion board where we'll never find it again...
