    Hi Everyone!
    Here my introduction. (Drum roll please)

    Anyway, I am an American living in Germany.
    I am not into the hot rod scene anymore because A. it is expensive as you know what in Germany, and B. just don't have the time.
    I built a 57 Chevy in my Shop cl*** back in AZ., and enjoyed every minute of it. When I joined the Army had to sell it. The Gas prices here are unbelievable.

    I did do a partial resturation on a 2500 BMW which was fun, but somehow not the same. (You are not allowed to change a whole lot on a car in Germany. Inspection h***els)
    I started working here in a plant making pistons mostly for the German car makers. Learned alot of cool stuff with the metric system.
    Have to say, the metric system is really a whole lot simpler than using our US system.
    Now I work for a bearing company which is also cool. (As long as I stay in a technical job).
    Why to HAMB?
    Because I am a voracious reader, and I miss all the books I used to read in School. And only here could I get some info on books that I forgot the ***le, but remember what roughly happened in the book.
    So I am happy to be here and will bother you all every once in a while when I am looking for something new to read.

    Welcome to the Hamb from Chicago. I don't know where you're located in Germany, but you should check out Kustom Kulture Forever if you're close to Herten.

    welcome to the forum ....

    most countries over there, dont let you do to much to the cars ( some are stricter than others )

    less than a hand full of nations still go w/ the US standard and everyone else is w/ the metric system ....
