Hi !
Have many thanks guys ! I did a test drive on Saturday and I must confess that I learned anew how to drive a car ( without all that smart electronic stuff ). The steering wheel gear shift needs getting used to and the braking distance is comparable with an oil tanker. I had been afraid of the first curve, because of getting a ton of French steel handled by such a fragile looking steering wheel. No rain on Saturday, this car would withstand a hurricane, but the sun roof is leaking and needs some new seals. A great vintage car that makes a lot of fun and now I am waiting for summer to come :-)

Hi ! I purchased this gem a week ago and yesterday I got the new registration and the license plates: Peugeot 403 from 1958 in original condition with an 1,5l / 60HP engine. This car had been constantly on the road and registered since 1958. My son will help me with some small repairs and settings. If it is not raining tomorrow I will do a test drive MIK

I also miss Dave`s postings. But I know from my own personal experience, that there could be many reasons for it: Moving the entire household, renovating the new home, lot of paperwork with the authorities, crashing the computer, 10 days ill and extra work at the company...
I hope Dave is well and is back soon.

Hi Randy ! As Berndt said, we do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in Austria, but I know that this is a special day for you over the pond. All I know about American Thanksgiving comes from Hollywood-movies and TV series: A joyful family meeting with plenty of food, mainly turkey. So, Happy Thanksgiving to America ! MIK

Thats a nice display and a great idea ! I also had some of them displayed in an old small Kodak shelf. The very early 35mm cans had been made of cardboard ( Voigtlaender for instance ). But all my camera stuff is still in boxes...

Hi ! Some beautiful pictures and amazing stones guys ! We have a region here in northern Austria where you can find numerous of balanced rocks, which are results from the last ice age. Some of them could be moved by one man, thats why we call them "Wobbling Stones" ( I hope this is a useful translation ). I visited that region last summer, here are some pictures from Gmuend and Heidenreichstein in Lower Austria: MIK
