Hello from Germany

Post by tosch »

Hi there !

My name is Torsten I'm from Germany near Frankfurt and I've got an '95 Transcar Astro 2WD and a (sorry) '04 Dodge Ram Hemi.
I'm an IT Administrator in a financial services company and interested in US Cars
My wife drives the Astro and of course I have to fix :D
This year I gave a big order to Summit and now my Astro got some Airsprings and Pro Comp Xtreme
Rims 16x8 with 255/55 R16 and my RAM got some parts too :)

sorry about my english, if there are any questions ..... just ask :D

Here are some pictures of my van:

Thanks for the welcome.

When I bought the van, it got some Runningboards but I decided to put them off.

I studied some van pictures here in the forum and now I think I'm living in the wrong country :D
Great vans here ...
