Got a chance to meet Baumi and several of his friends last weekend at an informal get together. A really hospitable, friendly, and fun bunch of people. It was amazing to see such a collection of cool cars and cool people in the heart of Bavaria. They really have a love of this hobby and as you can tell by the photos, they don't let a little rain stop them! Karl is the owner of the hangout. A great place, full of memorabilia, great music, and good beer. The cookout was terrific! It was a real pleasure and I hope I get to see them all again soon. Vielen Danke, Baumi!
I have family from my mothers side in Germany.Roegge. I would love to visit them but probably be more interested in seeing HAMBers and their cars LOL Jerry
Hey Jack! Are you already back in the States? I´m glad you enjoyed the weekend with us! IWe´ve had a great time and I hope to meet you and Erin again soon! She´s the best Bavarian speaking American girl I know!!!Unbelievable!!! For me it was great to listen to your stories( you know, the 56 Chevy wheelstander,hahaha) but unfortunately I lost my ability to speak after a couple of beers. Not only my English got worse but also my German... Please call me or drop me a line whenever you happen to be around! Thanks a lot for everything! My best wishes to Erin! Take care Baumi
I know I am a newbie and don't know you all. Just wanted to say that it would be awsome to see some SWEET rides like that in Germany (much less anwhere). I spent half a year in Germany and never saw an awsome ride like that (well maybe a 70s Corvette, but that was owned by a service person I knew). It is cool to know that we have Hot Rodding friends all over the world. Ich kann auch Deutsch sprechen.
The cars and the guys are out there, certainly not as much as in the US , but they ´re still around. I´m going to the Hot Heads East traditional 1/8 mile race this next weekend. I´m sure there´ll be quite a lot of cars , just like the last years. But of course you´re right, hot rods are not an everyday sight around here. Chris
Did you say beer? Whoa nelly, I'd live there just for the beer...........if what you were drinkin was anything like Ota, Otto, Kirngia, hang on let me pick my tongue up off the floor, Ottakringer, then it WAS good beer. Naughty Rainer! Hey I didn't know Baumi came in full size! Hubba hubba! xxx Brandy
