Hello from Germany
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
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
Here are some pictures of my van:
Greets,

Re: Hello from Germany
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
Great vans here ...

And I think I understood your sentence.
