Finally made it over the pond....again
Hello everybody,
I made over the pond again, and joined the fine GWOA.
Many of you might know me from P3, if not, I'm a really a nice guy - don't listen to the others :D
Born in the Fatherland I decided in 1978 to move to the new colonies and have been living now in Southern California.
The LWB MBUSA G-500 is the second G-wagen after selling the beloved Ãœberwagen (as my friend Alan called it) a 91 300GE.
I enjoy taking the G-wagen anywhere (time & money limitation not always respected).
My hobby of designing & building gadgets and accessories for the G-Klasse
has kept me away from wayward women and drinking stuff which looks like iced tea.
I'm looking forward to be a part of the great forum and its esteemed members.

For those of you who don't know Karl he has a company called G-Wagen Accessories which makes.... wait for it.... accessories for G-Wagens. Go figure... :lol:
Anyhow he does everything from rock sliders to sleeping platforms and various bits and pieces of expedition kit.
And those who have used his products swear by them.... so give him a visit www.g-wagenaccessories.com

Thank you guys,
I'm based in Woodland Hills, California, located in the Northwest corner of Los Angeles, just North of Santa Monica/Malibu in the San Fernando Valley - around 20 min away from the beach.
Thank you Maxwell for the nice and smart plug-in - yes I'm designing and fabricating parts and mods for the G-wagens, the latest a new removable winch carrier for the tow pin bumper and the very much latest - a rocker panel upgrade kit for the LWB & SWB W460 to mount bolt-on steps, running boards or our famous Rockmeister rock sliders.
