# private reply Servus Manu, nur zu den Polos, ich habe: 1 dunkelblaues XL (mit roten Murauer Logo, gestickt) 1 ausgewaschenes war-amal-dunkelblaues XL 1 ausgewaschenes war-amal-schwartes M ...und meine Größe ist eigentlich L (hab die jeweils geschenkt bekommen). D.h. ich tät selbst wahrscheinlich das XL anziehen, und könnte die anderen beiden wem borgen. Und noch ein personal remark: es kann sein, dass ich Sonntag Nachmittag/Abend was für meine Firma machen muß :-P insofern bin ich sehr froh darüber, wenn wir noch in der Nacht einen Rücktransport via Autos nach Wien haben.
