Our main places are in South Bohemia.

We have a museum with about village live, WWI and emigration to the USA, and 15 miles away in Nove Hrady a historic blacksmith workshop and in the nearby peat area our son has a large blacksmith workshop and a small railroad.

So probably a meeting will center around those three places, but the main place would be in Nove Hrady

Pics of the smithy shops (with everything else) will be appreciated!

Our Famely (Mother in Law) was former Sudentenland/Böhmischdorf now it is Czech/ Česká Ves
Would be nice to see their past. Just an extra-route about 80 km 😍 Unfortenatly Mother in Law died 2018 in the age of 92. She saw her area and her farm they had there for generations in 2015 again. She also spoken Czech.

My roots are since generations in Cologne.
I was the first black sheep which left this area moved northwards 😅 . My famely said i will not find in the north my happiness - the south of germany had given more development in wealth. I am the proof of sucess 🥳 that it also work in the North of Germany

Your location is 852 km from us - so a nice "Movement-Ride" for our Oldtimer. Maybe not this year with him as we are still in rebuild.... Electric is boring and timeconsuming. The Roadregistration will be limited for the time from May-Octobre like the most Oldtimer here. You dont want drive your hard-worked rebuild Truck in the bad winter weather....

I agree with you and I've experinced it on my range rover classic.. He eat 18 moths of my life and for sure I will not gonna restore parts that are in good working order this time for sure. Only going to repair what is needed and protect the body and chasis, paint job too(cause they are in brilliant condition) and make sure that they stay in good condition for years to come cause i dont plan to sell the car.

We gone through an off-frame restoration since 3 years not only what needed... we rebuild a fabric new Truck with all recommondated upgrate on the engine and drivetrain. Got also a new newdrive... We also dont plan to sell this truck. It become an oldtimer investment. This was not planned. He should be our working truck. Now he is our oldtimer only for meetings and oldtimer shows if he is ready with his fitting M1102 trailer - also a restoration project.
We have now also a GMC Sierra from 2007 LBZ Duramax in off-frame restoration as our future working truck...
It is tiring in Germany to restore an USA Vehicle, only less is available here and it is almost cheaper to import yourself parts. We are now well known at the Custom Office after we had declare several times we are just privat and import for a privat restoration project....

We will also enjoy driving the truck but to much money spent on this just to drive an offroadsession or any other rides which let him work hard....
You can find our mission here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/rebuilding-after-15-years-of-storage.203113/

For that we bought the GMC.

I am born after Germanys wartime but i rise up during coldwartime. And these trucks was connected on a feeling of safety and protection....
Thanks to all who served and protected our freedom in the past and will do it in the future
