    • Hello,("Moin" means the same here)
    • My car experience started with a car - most US guys do not know: a NSU 1000C (1,0 lit.engine in the rear with 40 HP).Now they are collectibles ,especially the high performance editions TT and TTS.In the 70`s they were nearly unbeatable at the local hillraces with 120 HP 1,2 lit. engines ,short wheelbase and a weight lighter as a beetle
    • Later i switched to classic US cars ,cruising with old Pontiac`s since 20 years.
    • Last year i fall in love with a 40 Plymouth rod with 57 Chrysler 354 polyhemi engine so i have to introduce myself now!
    • I do not have experience with mopar and early hemis so i would like to get support from this forum ,especially to locate parts for those rare early hemis.
    • greetings from Cuxhaven at the coast of the north sea

    Welcome to the H.A.M.B.
    Came to the right place for info!
     
  3. Welcome from the Netherlands / Holland

    The best thing to do with an NSU engine was put it in a motocycle like Munch did.

    Show us a little more of your Plymouth or Pontiac(s)

  6. Nice collection mate.
    Like the Alpina 3 serie and 57 Poncho.
    Is the R100RS a Dutch version ?
    Eglass in Rijssen used to be the Lamborghini dealer in previous years.

    In my opinion the best what came from Germany are my Zundapp's, mostly 125 cc versions.

    • Hi dutch deuce,
    • The Alpina is a 5 series E28.
    • The Eglass should have been built from this Lamborghini dealer in his early years - so the pre-owner from Krefeld told me.
    • At last - not only Zündapps are good things from Germany !!

    welcome.

    my parents brought a NSU 1200 and a Morris Minor 2 door convertible (LHD) over to the US from the UK back in '85 when we moved state-side. My father still has the minor in storage somewhere.

    • Thanks to all for your friendly wellcome!
    • @ Stefan T : from 1991 to `93 i took part at your Vasteras power meet. There i had a funny experience : at the first day of the meet i got two Chevelle seats for 100 D-Mark and two bottles of Whiskey - next day the two sellers were not more at the swap meet !?
    • @ Mark H : i love Bulldogs too - i have two french bulldogs!
    • @ dutch deuce : like you i owned a 911 (for 8 years) - than i traded him for a 356.

    • @farmer 12: Thanks for your offer to support me !! My plymouth is not a project for Restoration or customizing.It is a project to keep him running in the nice old condition i`ve got him with old rod decals ,old paint ,old small self painted things of the owner of the 60`s and the old 60`s conversion to a Rod with this nice looking 57 polyhemi and spitfire heads! I want to go to this old-school Rod meeting at Bottrop in two weeks - may be we will meet us there?

    Welcome. I spent last week in Hamburg on business (beautiful city). I was intrigued last Sunday afternoon to see a four-door Dodge about 1958 and a bright orange Road Runner. This really is an international hobby.

    • Hi Finn Jensen
    • Last weekend was in Hamburg one of our larger US Car events - so you saw some cruising or home driving cars.

    Thanks, sorry that I missed it. It was really nice weather in Hamburg that Sunday, so I'm sure that it was a great show.
