Description

This pic was taken at Xanten, Northern Germany in early spring 2007. We visited the Roman Parc here, an archeological museum, situated at the same place as the roman colony "Ulpia Trajana", founded by roman emperor Trajan in ca. 120 n.Chr. This city had 50 000 inhabitants, a complete military unit and a harbor at the river Rhein, who was frontier between the Roman Empire and Germania in this old days.... At the parking area here and at a camping ground nearby I found countless french cars from a local Citroen club, starting to a trip to the North Cape in Norway. Thanks for your interest: Feel free to look in and to post a comment. And now a goodbye and my best wishes for all of you out there

This is nostalgia of an European view..and I do like this. Years ago we had a few of the Citroen cars around, folks boasting of the most advanced car on the road. This was perhaps 30 or so years ago and the cars were more modern than the ones shown. Of course, the VW bug, the old one with split windows has been here a long time and of the few still seen, the owners treasure the vehicles. Thanks for this look.

This beautiful volkswagen looks like it just came of the assembly line, truly a most robust of cars made. The rear aircooled engine a true work horse, they just seem to go on and on. It looks like the owner of this one treats it as a lover. I can see Janis is delighted with this wonderful dedication. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!

Wonderful photograph, I don't know why I don't get to your gallery more often. The bug to the right is in tip top shape for a classic. It seems that everyone I know has owned one at some point or other. Great dedi to Janiss as well.

@JeffG7BRJ and TwoPynts: In Germany we have no sort of "hot rod" - shows as in America, and the german car authorities set very strictly rules what is allowed and what is forbidden. But we have a lot of collectors clubs here for a lot of cars and germans love it to be organized in those clubs. There are collector´s clubs for Volkswagen - beetles, french cars like Citroen and Renault R4, VW- Busses or the eastern german "Trabant", these small little cars they had to wait 18 years till they get them. The rich people are engaged in Mercedes - Benz SL- clubs, some people collect traktors, even old tanks from the DDR or the soviets. These here are organized in a Citroen Club, and some of them are from the Netherlands, some french and a lot of different german cities.
