I was born on the wrong side of the ocean

guys,

I come to this forum a lot. I like to read what you all are about and follow a lot of build threads.

Every now and then I get jealous of your wide open roads and junkjards with just all kinds of cool cars just laying around and a lot of stuff is a lot easier to get when you are at your side of the ocean for our squares...

well....anybody in need of a "developer of sustainable energyprojects"?

lemmeknow and I'll move over with my wife and kids....hahaha

keep those topics and nice build threads coming...

picture taken at a recent US car meeting in the Netherlands. I love my Burb!

Rumors said there were about 1600 US vehicles on Saturday and as many on sunday!
Hamburg and northern Germany has a strong US scene!
