It looks good from above, too! I'm glad you are using it for work. I'm sure your fellow Germans are amazed at such an old American (actually Canadian)truck driving in Deutschland.

Hi, I don't actually use it for work. When the weather's nice, we take the time to enjoy life. That's why we sometimes go on a trip to the countryside even in the middle of the week. People who see us in our old truck are happy. And lots of them give us a thumbs-up.
Best regards, Bernd 61 HD

Hi, the season kicked off this weekend. It was at a small airport near Müncheberg, east of Berlin. The weather was nice, and so was the atmosphere.




















The day flew by. On the way there, I stopped with my wife for breakfast, then went to the meeting, and on the way back we stopped to shop. A lovely day out in the countryside.

Wow! That's a lot of American iron in that field. Thanks for sharing.

Bernd, how far did most of the participants come from? In other words how far did some of them drive to get there?

@bernd61hd Did you have the one and only Mercury M-47, or any other Mercury pickup there?

Hi, most of the participants are from the surrounding area. Berlin isn't far away. We have a very large US car scene here. There are also big gatherings with more than 3,000 participants.

Hi, mine was the only Mercury. I don't know how many Mercury trucks there are in Europe. I know of one more in Bohemia, and there was one for sale online once.
