Funny you should mention, Benn. My dad lives in Eisenstadt, Austria
(way on the eastern end of the country, near Hungary), and is a member
of the U S Car Club there. GTO/Camaro/Vette, mostly, but other cars,
too. Self-described gearheads, they are. . . Maybe they can help you
find other stuff.
I'll see if I can get around the editor-machine and attach the url for
the website, but before you go there, BEWARE! First of all, I went to
the site, found it in German, and couldn't find "click here to
translate to English". Second -- and much worse -- now I get about a
dozen German-language spams a day. I've found they aren't offers for
Viagra or low-rate mortgages, but they're still annoying. Maybe you
should use the computer at your local library to click around. There
are photos of the cars in the club. www.uscc-burgenland.at (If it
didn't come through, it's 3 w's followed by a dot and then
uscc-burgenland dot at
I'll send you the email of my dad's buddy, Manfred, in the club, and he
might have much more information about what's over there. Send an
Email direct (jon at infodestruction.com) for Fred's addy. His English
isn't bad -- you should be able to make sense out of it.
