Question Is there a chapter in Europe?

Just want to know, if anybody knows if there exists a European or better
German Chapter?
Maybe I want to found one.

Hey Mike, go a head and start one! Might be a little lonely, but I'm sure we'll stop by to visit from time to time.

I'm sure there's another Ex in Western EU, just gotta find it.

Thanks Sean, youre right, Im sure too, that I dont have the only EX here, but
nobody than me seems to need the inspiration and excellent advisory of
this forum.Am I a looser or a wise guy?

So, how can I start it? And I'll be the leader? Il presidente? Commander Master Chief? CEO?
Actually I could start two chapter: Western Europe and Germany. WOW !!

You've got an Ex in Germany ? That is cool as hell. I didn't know too many of these trucks made it over the pond.

Better bring several credit cards when you fill it up in Germany or anywhere in Europe.
What's it at now ? 2 euros a liter yet ?

@Wpnaes
No, Sean, I havent. I talked to our guys here and they say its no problem....
but I dont get even lonely 5 persons together that I will need for this project.
It so .....
Great lights......want to get more?
@cw_mi
Yes its very cool, because we are nowadays get flooded with new Dodge Rams, but the most drivers drive them cause they can afford it, no of them will ever take a wrench to work on or with it. Those lawyer and doctors hands could get dirty, ya know? I drove a Gen2 and Gen3 Ram almost 17 years ago...whereever I went with them I was the attraction, because there were only a handful of
them here....now you see them everyday at each corner in all colours.
One of the reason I went to Ford.....
Just for a hint.....I drive this EX since 2Years here in Europe. Believe it or not...
I have never seen a second one. Maybe a handful of F250 Pickups but no EX.
Im the brass among the goldfishs at a stoplight. Nobody shows interest in a Ferrari/Lambo/Bently when we stand besides it.
Just great........and btw. if I had known earlier what a wonderful truck an EX is, I never had driven a Ram.
@az_r2d1
No, its not that worse. But its about 1.75€ / Liter, so a full tank up is about 300€
thats about $400. . .....and Im at a bluecollar budget with a wife and a lil daughter.
Im not that rich like Sean who can afford to import LEDs working Lights from Germany.

If we would live in the US I would drive a Mercedes G-Class for sure.
These cars costs less then the half of a used, better worn out, Ex here in Germany.
You can get them from 2000€.
I really think about to buy some Unimog Portal Axles with DiscBrakes and CTIS
for our Ex. That would combine comfort with ultimate offroad capabillities.
.....and of course, that would be the top of badass.
Oh wait....my wife rolls her eyes....

Funny you bring up the Ram. Back when I was on the Turbodiesel registery (owned a 2nd gen Ram/Cummins) there were a few members in the UK with Cummins/Rams. Saw some pictures and they sure did look funny parked on the side of the road along some of the other cars and mini trucks.
I actually really like mine, it just didn't have enough room for the family and I really miss the Cummins.

Lol Milke, those German light are infinitely better than the ones we get from The Far East.

Also, I did a quick search on members from Germany, 100's of 'em! Granted only you and a handful have posted this year. Time for a membership cleanup.
