Yesterday I saw hundreds, even thousands of mainly interesting cars, at my most favourite event
http://oldtimermarkt-bockhorn.com/impressionen-103.html
The upload of the pics will need some time, as I made over 250 photos - until the accus of camera and mobile phone are gone.
The exhausted accu have caused, that a pic of one of the very very few Rootes crap clunkers wasn't possible any more, from a very shiny Chrysler 2 Litres.
I think, the most pics I'll show at the car-event-thread besides, but some impressions, I'll put here.
The first pic of the day, shot a few km before I reached the location (as usual as one of the first participants -driver of pre-1980 vehicles- on the early Saturday morning at 7:15. I always want to part on my usual spot, and just half an hour later, the classic car traffic will be annoying thick and you have to wait for the entry and don't have the chance to park on your favourite places.
I've decided to place here the "Camping" special compilation. Serioulsy, these are only the motifs, I've spotted directly on the ground. I've not been on the extra exhibitors-campground, nor on the visitors parking. It would have bee too much!
And I've only the IMO most unusual sights and have dropped the uncountable masses of classic, but mundane campers and camping trailers.
Everything, you see now, was used for sleeping in by the drivers
There are many more, but here I found evidences as beddings - or sleeping people.
Original Westfalia:
The trailer is new:
Here I talked a bit with annother visitor, who rummaged "Hmm, seems to be a Belgian car. Oldsmobile is very popular in Belgium. There are even garages and wreckers, specialized in Oldsmobile"
I relplied:
"The coachwork looks Italian to me due its style and on one side window was written "temperata"
The he noticed the badge in the front grille, so we have seen, that the car was assembled in Biel/Switzerland.
But about the Hearse-coachwork I'm still unsure about its origin.
When I looked for the manufacturers badge, the owner told me, that tha basis is a Belgian "Constructam", but only the chassis and the lower frame are original, anything else is rebuilt by himself.
Then the said "That one, 20 meters ahead, is an original Constructam"
Am I right, that this piece of Rootes crap has towed annother Constructam?
The different taillights are irritating me. Those of the tailer above, with the HH-plate from Hamburg, seem to be DDR-made. These are the common DDR-allround-taillights, used for a plenty of different trailers, trucks, motorbikes and construction vehicles.
Here I had to smile and to think at my DPRK-trip
as it reminds me to the quite popular (to see in any report or blog about Northkorea, because always parking at the same junction in Pyongyang.
