Default New from Germany

Hey everybody!

My name is Florian. I am 20 years old and live near Munich, Germany.

I have been car crazy since ever and really learned how to turn a wrench on my 1971 Ford F100 truck.

Here is a picture of me (on the right), my brother and my truck:



I have done a lot of work on this truck over the last years, including a complete engine build.

When I was younger my Dad owned a 98 Corvette C5, ever since then I also wanted one.

My brother and I are going on vacation in the US this summer and we are looking for a nice Corvette C4 to buy for our road trip! I will start a new topic for our search!

So that's all for now I think

Florian

Thanks for welcoming me guys!

dahogan, that sounds like an awesome trip you are planning there! On your route from Stockholm to Florence you are actually driving right by my place! I am near Munich, Germany. If you're bored you can come by, we have got some old American iron. Maybe even a C4 by then And I'd love to see your 66 roadster too!
