Car dealer Heidi Hetzer poses for a portrait in an Opel branch in Berlin February 25, 2009. Opel dealer Hetzer, 71, has fought against male chauvinism as a female car mechanic and triumphed in dozens of motor rallyes, but the Berliner says she is driving her toughest race now -- against the car crisis. The resolute blonde, who has been running one of the capital's biggest car dealerships for 40 years, says she
suffered large losses in 2008 and will have to lay off a third of her 120 staff by the end of this year. TO ACCOMPANY FEATURE GERMANY-OPEL/DEALER
