Newbie from Germany

Hi,
my Name is Volker, I am from Germany and I love US trucks. Many years ago I had a Chevrolet Scottsdale pick up from 78. I had some great experience with that car, and now I decided to by a GMC Sierra from 71. 400ci engine, leave springs, and automatic transmission. It came from Texas and has no rust, it is in a good condition to rebuild a nice American Truck.
So if I have some questions, I hope to get some helpful answers here.

So long,

Volker

Re: Newbie from Germany

Halo Volker,

Welcome to another european member here!
I am Michel from France.

Few years ago, as I was visiting my wife's familly in Hanover, I was driving at 220 km/h legaly on the autobahn when I have been overpassed by a very nice coupé Mercedes. Driving at such a high speed legaly is something I cannot experience in my country.

Michel
