Default The german guy

Hi.

I just want to introduce myself to this forum.


There´s not much to say about me, i´m 26y´s old and live in south-western germany.

My occupation is to work at a BMW-Shop as an Service-Technician (that´s not a regular mechanic).
I also drive an BMW 323ti Sport Limited Edition, see it in my TRGarage.

Oh, i´m also tobibeck80´s brother, u might read his posts in the Nürburgring-thread
Furthermore i already know the member @shinmei2006 via MySpace (what it do Frank!?)

welcome to TR

our friends have a friend in the BMW facility in Carolina. His job is to every 6 months order a new BMW to his specifications and then find ways to improve upon it

is your job like this as well?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Nah, i´m just working in a small shop, the facilitys are a much different caliber.
They´re huge here in germany!
Anyway, i´d have to drive about 4-5 hours to get there because most the facilities are located to bavaria.
I live in rhineland-palatinate, where Ramstein US-Airbase and K-Town are located, it´s about 30 min from home.
LOT of US citiziens and military there.

My job is not really a big deal.
It´s called an elite-status (LOL....elite, sounds funny) but u can imagine it like asubstitude shop leader (is that right? my english isn´t THAT good :-/

Welcome to TR. I know exactly where you are. When I was in the military I was stationed in Mannheim (West Kafertal) and I went to K-town a lot. I used to go by the Porshe dealership on the way to Heidelberg on the weekends to drool over those awesome machines.

Thats cool....i don´t know anyone from the Mannheim-base, just the AF guys from Ramstein and K-Town.
But Mannheim´s also an hour away from me.

U´ve been in the A6 in K-Town once?
Nice club, unfortunately it´has been closed.

Do u know Zweibrücken?
That crappy little town like 40 km away form K-Town
....that´s where i live

Never been to the A6 club. I used to go to a couple of clubs called Broadway and Skyline around the Mannheim area. I was in Germany from '95 to '98 and then was stationed back here in the states at Ft Bragg North Carolina. I was in the Army. There was quite a few Army posts around the Mannheim Kafertal area. So when are you coming to the states to visit?

Hmm, i doesn´t even know if the A6 was already open in ´95...i was like 15y old in ´95
I think i´ve heard about the broadway club, but never been there also.
The Catwalk (earlier it´s called ´Natrix´) is a nice, big club.
It´s located in Darmstadt, lot of US Hip-Hop artists are performing there (Lil´Jon, Crime Mob, Lil´Scrappy and so on..)


Dunno when i come 2 the states again.
The last time was ´97 to visit my aunt and uncle in Auburn/New York.
They´re owning a private investigation company.

Bellerdine Investigation

They also have a house down in Orlando (already been there, too), it isn´t that far from Tampa i guess.

their son / my cousin is Lieutenant in the Air-Force.
Right now he´s deployed in Cheyenne Mountain, something about nuclear warfare
