Hello I'm Volker,
I found my Ford F100 Ranger XLT (windsor 302 CID) about 6 month ago and I'm really happy to spend time with it. He spent the first 5 years of his life in Miami and the rest as an workhorse on a farm in Arizona. I'm really glad that I have found this bullnose forum here to share experience and to get in contact with other Ford Pickup enthusiasts.  Best Regards Volker |

Welcome, Volker! Glad you joined!!!
 That's a very nice looking truck. Hope you'll tell us all about it, and you for that matter. Where in Germany? I ask for two reasons. First, because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu above) and we can add you if we had a city. And there you can see that we have other members in Germany. Also, I ask because I've spent some time in your country and I'm curious if I've been there.

Volker - You are now on the map, basically in the BMW building I was in a few years ago.
We were there in late September for a "small" celebration with a parade, some tents in a large field, and lots of singing going on in the Hofbräuhaus.  Unfortunately we planned to visit the BMW Museum on Monday, obviously unaware that museums are closed on Mondays in Germany. But we did tour BMW Welt, got our pictures taken with the car and bike used in a movie, the BMW Isetta, etc. As for Bayreuth, I haven't been but know where it is. That's because we know some people named Bayreuth here in our town and that's where they are from so I looked it up. Probably the closest I've been is Nuremberg.

It was the other way 'round - the museum was closed and World was open.
And yes, the Isetta would fit nicely in the back of my truck. When I went to college the bookstore owner lived across the street and he had one of them. I still remember him opening the front of it and backing in to sit down. I've been in Germany many times, both on vacation as well as for work. And as you can see, you aren't the only member in Germany. In fact, just this morning Heinze/Howling.Wolf posted roof lights for free if you pick them up. The only minor issue is most people don't know he's in Oberursel.  (I know 'cause I went to Bad Homburg many times.)

Ahh okey.
Your memories regarding the Isetta and the bookstore owner sound good and I can feel how it must been at these time, immediately. It seems that you know Germany really good  |
