To participate in this tournament every player was charged €95,- out of which €50,- were donated to organizations supported. These were the Deutsche Nachbarschaftshilfe, which supports german speaking, elderly residents on the coast, who are in need and who don’t have any local family support. Furthermore the Concordia Antiaids organization, which is working since many years on the coast and which is looking after Aids patients and their families on the Costa del Sol.

Fernando Frühbeck, lawyer from Marbella and chairman of the Deutsche Nachbarschaftshilfe, wanted to actively support the event organized by Walter Fischer, although he himself does not play golf. For the full participation fee, he was given the opportunity to hit 10 balls at the hole-in-one to eventually win the prize sponsored by Fischer Car Group, a new Mercedes SLK, but unfortunately without any success.

In the idyllic garden of the Hotel Villa Padierna the trophies were given to the winners of the different categories. Overall winner of the tournament Jarmo Tähtinen from Finland won with 33 points followed by only 18 year old Haiko Dana with 31 points.

The real winners of the tournament however were the Dt. Nachbarschaftshilfe represented by Fernando Frühbeck and Peter Hubert as well as the Concordia AntiAids organization, represented by Rosy von Johnston. Walter Fischer was delighted at the end of the day to handover the total amount of €4,050, -and thanked all participants for their support.

The proceeds will benefit the Deutsche Nachbarschaftshilfe, supporting the german speaking residents in need as well as the antiaids organization Concordia Marbella.

The participation fee per player is € 95,- which includes Green Fee, Buggy, Hole-in-One competition, the lunch cocktail and the prize giving ceremony. € 50,- per player will be donated to the mentioned organizations!

The prize for the Hole-in-One competition will be a brandnew Mercedes SLK, sponsored by Fischer Mercedes Marbella. In the stunning surrounding of the beautiful Los Flamingos golf course this promises to be a fantastic day, which any passionate golfer should not miss!

Marbella has been officially appointed as the city with the second-most sold Ferraris (according to the statistics; the most Ferraris are sold in Geneva, Swiss). But on the streets of Marbella, it is not only the Italian brand that is seen often. Marbella has always been the place for the expensive, elegant, luxurious and fast cars. In addition, with less than 45 days of rain a year, the Costa del Sol is a pure convertible paradise.

Just before the Christmas lights are hung up at the Ricardo Soriano Mainstreet in Marbella, the trees decorate the city with their pink blossoms. In these warm winter days the sun often still brings it to 20 degrees, which is to me the perfect convertible weather.
My test drive begins in the early morning picking up of the diamond white metallic E-Class convertible at the Fischer Mercedes Consulting store in Marbella. Although on this day the thermometer does not quite show the 20 degrees, I still choose to drive around the city “topless”. With a touch of a button I sent the fabric roof into the trunk and not even 20 seconds later I’m ready to go. Another push of a button and the new airscarf and the heated seats are activated too. For those people who still feel cold, but want to enjoy the fresh air and the freedom of the convertibles, there are many more amenities. For example the new automatic wind deflector, Aircap. If activated, an electrically operated wind deflector rises from the top of the windscreen which helps channel the air flow over and away from the cockpit – just to mention some of the many functional switches and buttons in the cockpit of the Mercedes E 350 CGI convertible. Seen from my own race car drivers point of view, obviously far too many buttons. I admit the fact, that the car can remember my exact seat position, thanks to the Mercedes Memory package, is quite practical. But by latest when I read something about distance cruise control or overtaking sensor it starts to get creepy – thanks, but I would like to stay the driver.

At the first red light near the old town, I have time to take a better look at the interior. The combination of the black artico leather and the black wood imitation is in no case too dark, but rather represents the well-known class of Mercedes-Benz. The sporty steering wheel points with the easy to operate speakerphone, navigation system and radio buttons. The various functions on the center console are likewise easy to work, without having read the manual.

Stylish open I continue driving along the coast, passed Puerto Banus. The display shows me the low fuel consumption of 8.5l, but not only that: the new intelligent beauty of Mercedes recognizes every single speed sign and reminds the driver unobtrusive with the corresponding image on the display. In other words, the typical excuse you tell the police for speeding that you “did not see the sign” would be very inopportune, when driving this Cabriolet.

The Mercedes promotional brochure states that the new E-Class convertible does not follow trends, but makes them. Quickly it becomes clear to me what this actually means, the car is a perfect mix between sporty driving fun and comfort. I’m sitting in the drivers seat like a queen, and thats how the convertible treats me. I hardly notice any of the on the Costa del Sol typical street bumps or potholes. This is the result of the standard Agility Control package, which automatically adapts to ones driving style or a specific road condition. The steering of the nearly 1.8 ton car with the star is precise and very sporty for the 292 hp, 4.7 meter long cabriolet, that accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds.

The last stop on my trip on the A-7 between Fischer Mercedes Marbella and Estepona was a place on the Costa del Sol, right beside the Kempinski Hotel Bahía, where two continents kiss. During the sunset over south Spain, the E-Class presents itself from its best side one last time.

This year, we will not send Christmas cards by post, but donate the equivalent amount to charity instead.

Together with his wife Vera, Walter Fischer invited also to the annual Christmas cocktail of Fischer Car Group. Approx. 100 guests were delighted to follow this invite and enjoyed very much the festive atmosphere and the 5 star catering of the Kempinski hotel.

Lido Bettarini, born in 1937 in Florence, received his artistic training at the Florence Academy of Art. Since the mid-sixties, he was very successful with exhibitions in Florence, Rome, Paris, New York and Munich, to name just a few important cities.

Walter Fischer, established in the automotive business in Marbella since 14 years, was very pleased to have his loyal customers and closest friends that night around. Matthias Girlich, Ascari Race Resort, introduced the world-famous photographer René Staud, who handed over the latest Mercedes 300 SL calendar, which celebrates on 13 pages the myth of the legendary SL, 125 years after the invention of the automobile.
 
Walter Fischer, known for years for his strong social commitment, announced  that five percent of the proceeds of this exhibition will be donated to charity.

The exhibition can be visited until 4th of February 2011, Monday – Saturday between 10.00 und 20.00 o’clock in the Kempinski Hotel Estepona.

After an entire day of exciting tennis matches Walter Fischer handed the trophies over to the winning teams. The team from Juan Hoffmann German School won the final against Aloha College.

The Fischer Car Group Team, Soto Loco, consisted of three amateurs and one polo pro. The team trained for several weeks to give the polo inexperienced amateurs the best possible preparation for the match at the end of August.

On match-day about 100 VIP guests followed the invitation from the Fischer Team to the wonderful atmosphere of El Rio Polo field in Sotogrande to enjoy a marvelous afternoon with champagne and Argentinean tapas.

The event was crowned with the victory of the Fischer Team, which spurred on by the guests won a close match 5:4. The polo premiere was thus a full success and Vera Fischer then presented the winners trophy to the own team.

3,642 Euro donation from Fischer Car Group to the Aspandem disabled home in San Pedro de Alcantara

Fischer Car Group has been financially supporting ASPANDEM the disabled home in San Pedro de Alcantara through donations for several years. And this time around Walter Fischer did not want to miss out on the opportunity on handing the check for 3642 € to those responsible of the disabled home personally. The donation money was collected during the Fischer Car Group and Royal Crown Motors Charity Golf Tournament  in La Zagaleta. The visit took place in the afternoon so that the Vice President Angel Martinez Torreblanca a spontaneous tour suggested, in which Walter Fischer was shown several Departments.

“Our house is an open house,” said José Juan López Bolea, the general manager of ASPANDEM. And Maria Nieves Cabrera Pastor adds that the house always being open provides the supporters of the institution with the important transparency. Walter Fischer agrees, in fact he has taken the openness as an opportunity to give part of the donations he collect over the year at various events to ASPANDEM.
“The initiator that introduced me to ASPANDEM was Dietmar Knoch about 5 years ago. He pointed the facility out to us and recommended it as a very good organization. We gladly took the recommendation and since than we split our donations in proportion with ASPANDEM and, more recently, also with Brigitte Frey, who is involved in helping Kenyan farmers under the slogan “help to help one self” with her organization A Better World AG. We used to give our fund-raises only to one organization, but there was relatively little reference to the recipients of the funds. At ASPANDEM we are right in the middle of everything, we can see what happens with our donations. It is a joy to see what we can move, for example with our recent donations several air conditioners were bought. Something that is of very good use during this hot summer.”

Walter Fischer: “To me it is very important to know what each person and organization does with our donations”

With relative little money Brigitte Frey and her organization can help a huge amount of people in Africa

But for Walter Fischer the donation isn’t over after presenting the check. “To me it is very important to know what each person and organization does with our donations. Just like here in San Pedro, I can stop by and convince myself. With Brigitte Frey it is just as personal in Africa, she teaches the people in Kenya. There no funds flow directly to the people, but it is useful implemented. With relatively little money that allows planting of fields, gardens and building wells she can help a huge amount of people. She enables these people to help themselves. That, for me, is the right thing. I would not feel comfortable just sending the money without knowing if it is used efficiently.”

Walter Fischer: “At ASPANDEM we are right in the middle of everything, we can see what happens with our donations”

If he does not get the feeling that each donated Euro is used properly to help the needy then he would not do it, he says. That is in his nature and he feels obligated to those who have helped making the big check with their donationsAs personal as Fischer assists the disable and needy people a personal he is with each of his car customers trying to for fill every wish as best possible. That is thanked by the confidence of his many regularly coming customers who during the last 12 years did not become less but more and more – People who appreciate the very personal service from Fischer Car Group.

Vera and Walter Fischer presented their clients the new SLS AMG during a cocktail party at the Fischer 2 Selected Cars showroom

The presentation of the new Mercedes SLS AMG at the Fischer 2 Selected Cars in San Pedro was successful

The premiere of the brand new Mercedes SLS AMG in the Fischer 2 Selected Cars showroom in San Pedro brought a full house. At this cocktail party the customers and good friends of Walter Fischer spend less time flirting with the ladies in the room, but rather took a closer look behind the wheel of the new Mercedes SLS AMG. The showroom was filled with Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce and other dream cars, most of the guests left the presentation later on the evening much happier…
No wonder, because the Special Cars do certainly inspire woman just as well as man. The VIPs, celebrities, car enthusiasts, TV and radio presenters of Marbella were entertained with canapes, summer salad, cocktails, wine and champagne. The highlight during the 3 hours came when Walter Fischer started the new SLS AMG, which attracted even more people to take a seat in the aircraft similar cockpit. And again: Especially the women felt very comfortable and looked perfect in the red leather seats.

SLS AMG with gullwing doors and Formula 1 speed: From zero to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds

With outstanding technology, exclusive leather interior and a look that guarantees people to turn their heads the SLS AMG stands out, like already expected. While the Mercedes mainly scores with its gullwing doors and the elegant red interior design for the woman, the men are clearly more attracted of the technology package and the uncompromising sports car concept: aluminum spaceframe body with gullwing doors, AMG 6.3-litre V8 front-mid-engine, developing 420 kW/ 571 hp peak output, 650 Nm of torque and dry sump lubrication, seven-speed double-declutch transmission in a transaxle configuration, sports suspension with aluminium double wishbones and a kerb weight of 1620 kilograms. 

The top speed of 317km/h is electronically limited, other then the passionate sportiness, which is limitless. The race version of the SLS AMG is used in the Formula 1 as Safety car. The long bonnet, low greenhouse, positioned well to the rear and the short rear end with its extendable rear aerofoil stand for dynamism, as do the long wheelbase, the wide track and large 19 and 20-inch wheels.

For more information about the SLS AMG, the optional extras and delivery time, please contact Fischer 2 Selected Cars. Telephone: 952 799 260 or via email: contact@mercedes-consulting.com.

Fischer Car Group and Royal Crown Motors celebrated their charity golf event at the exclusive Club de Campo La Zagaleta and spent an unforgettable day together with their guests, 76 golf players and 140 guests for the dinner.

The participants started with a delicious breakfast at the unique Clubhouse to be ready for the competition on a breezy day on the old course of the club.

At the Hole-in-One the players stopped to be looked after by the Fischer Car Group Team and have been served champaign, Pacharan and more delicious things to be prepared for  hitting the ball and win a brand new Mercedes E Class convertible, sponsored by Fischer Car Group.  Walter Fischer managed to be the first car dealer on the coast to present the new E Class convertible. At the end he had to take the car back into his showroom as no one made a hole-in-one that day.

After the game the players met in the exclusive clubhouse for some tapas and relaxed in the afternoon before the 140 guests met in the stunning Pavillon of the Club House La Zagaleta where they have been served a fantastic menu.

During the evening the new founded cooperation between Fischer Car Group and Royal Crown Motors was announced which allows the Fischer 2 Selected Cars showroom in San Pedro de Alcantara to offer the brands, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Bentley and Lexus as well as the official service per brand. Royal Crown Motors presented spectacular new Rolls Royce Ghost to the participants.

José Campelo, Director Royal Crown Motors handed one of tombola prizes, a weekend with a Lamborghini Gallardo, over to Beate Ruthenberg, Teamcaptain Ladies from La Zagaleta.

The main prize of the tombola,1 week in Kitzbühel for 2 persons including flight, stay in 5* star hotel and personal hospitality by the Fischer family, went to Wolfram Lamping.

The charity event was celebrated in benefit of the Charity organizations Aspandem San Pedro, Concordia and SOF-DI. Originally part of the collected money should be sent to Haiti, but the organizers decided to support the organization SOF-DI, run by Beate Frey, which supports farmers in Kenia and helps them to grow organic food for their own use and to build wells to have clean water for their families. Beate Frey is intensively dedicated to her project and makes sure personally in Kenia that the collected money will be used what it has been given for. As Haiti receives millions of donations from all over the world, the organizers decided to help bringing attention to this important project.
The overall revenue of the evening for the three organizations is € 10.625,- .

The evening was completed by a stunning acrobatic and fashion show, presented by Patricia Nahmad Collections. The exceptional singer Nuria Lima entertained the guest and everyone finished the event dancing until early Sunday morning.
