Was given the verbal WARNO this week that the Army is planning to send me to Germany Next Summer, probably September time frame. I'll be in the Baumholder area, and looking forward to connecting with any World members in the area. I've passed through Frankfurt on my way to and from the land of wonder (sarcasm) but other than that only know Ireland and Greece, the Rest of Europe is a mystery. Really looking forward to looking up family origins (Irish, Norwegian, Czeck/German & Italian). In typical Army fashion, I will still deploy to Afgan, return early then over to GE with half a breath of timing in between.... Hopefully will be a 3 year gig. A bit of a surprise, but a good thing. Looking forward to linking up with any World members in advance and while there.
Will bring the 912 but probably will wait till after I am there a bit, get the lay of the land, housing ect. If there is a garage, I will bring it otherwise will store for 3 years...... grrrrr...... Much to plan between now and then. Thought I was going back to the East Coast, but...... |

The car registration stuff can be interesting. I was at Ramstein for 8 yrs. I used to drive up to Baumholder to get my 914 reinspected after the AF guys failed it for stupid stuff. The Army inspection guys were a lot more flexible on what was acceptable. I ended up getting a German TUV inspection instead and got Historic plates. Most of the big cities in Europe forbid high polluting vehicles in the city center. If you have the H plates on your car you can go anywhere.
Germany is great. You can drive a long way across the continent in half a day and Baumholder is right near the budget airport at Hahn. Enjoy. I would go back with zero notice. |

Historic plates are good! Try to get them asap. You'll blend in more easily (wise for different reasons).
For parts, I can point you to Arno Wienands (a member here) and less that 10 miles from my house.Arno Wienands' webpage His site is in Dutch, but you can email him in English or German. Or you can ask me to translate your question (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Have a wonderful and safe 2017 Menno |
