Hi everyone, I registered here a few weeks ago, but didn´t get around, to say hello to the forum,sorry. My name is Dietmar and i´m kind of looking for a nice wagon as a summer cruiser. Preferable something GM build and between 1965-1969. The other rides are a 1953 GMC pickup, which i bought last year for my wife´s birthday, instead of chocolate..., still needs a fair bit of work, to get on the road; the next one, the nick says it, a 1967 El Camino, that is a fun car to drive and also comes handy, when you pop into a hardware store. Last but not least, a winter/daily work horse, a 525 IX Beamer, as we tend, to get some serious snow each year,up to ~3feet. (I do have a wagon, i just realize) I´m wrenchin´,since i´m 15 years old, cause my father used to be a motor mechanic all his life. Gladly picked up a lot of useful information, and still do. I live very close to the border to Austria, South Bavaria, a beautiful part of Germany, even though our summer seems to be wet each year. Hopefully you all don´t get to upset, with dump questions, which i might ask, once i found the "perfect" land yacht Greets Elky67
Hi, I've been to your neck of the woods. I was visiting my sister who lived in Neckargemund at the time, and we took a trip through that area to Garmisch and Oberammergau. Fantastic area. Ha, as a matter of fact, my wife's maiden name is Clavadetscher. Good luck on your search!
welcome to the forum. When you get around to posting pics of your wagon maybe include a pic of your elky, I wouldn't mind seeing it also.
Welcome Elky. Keep checking back on this forum as I'm sure sooner or later a wagon for you will show up. Alot of the guys stay very much on top of craig's list and ebay and will post the links to some pretty cool cars here. Good luck in your search.
Current rides Thanks, for the warm welcome. Seems to be a great source with tons of infos here. What have we done years ago, before this great invention, called the internet, came along?? Now it´s so easy, to get to know people, with the same interests, and exchange useful information. I´ve added a few pictures of my current daily, nothing special here, but good to be used/abused... There´s a wagon out there somewhere, just waiting to be picked up from me and get a good and cozy new home
Thanks guys, for the warm welcome! I´ve written a post last night, with photos from my rides, but obviously, it´s not here:confused:. Were is it?? Sorry
Wagonmaster has entered the building with rapid response and has released your post and pix from that nasty spam filter, Elky. Nice stuff, too! Hope everyone enjoys the pix.
Welcome to the board, and nice BMW! Remember, not all wagons need to be "land yachts!" I have plenty of love for smaller, four-wheel-drive, go-anywhere, do-all wagons myself!
Welcome Elky67 ......also could you maybe post some pics of your truck? i dont no about the other board members, but i also have a love for trucks
Truckin´ Hi 1982caprice, I bought this GMC last year in Salem, Oregon, for my wife, as a birthday present. Man that was a surprise and success too. Right during the party, she opened the little box, with a die cast white 1950 GMC model, which i customized a bit; after a few minutes admiring the cute truck, i told her, to wait about two weeks, and than the real thing will show up on your doorstep Her it is, but i´m at it right now, to bring him back on the road, hopefully next spring or so... http://talk.classicparts.com/showthread.php?t=13672&highlight=found+home Enjoy
