Hello from germany

[fordguy74656]

Hello from Germany,
I got my tremor on December 22nd, 2020.
It is registered in the Netherlands. One of my companies is there. Unfortunately, it has become quite impossible to register a diesel in Germany.
I owned an F-250 7.3 L DIESEL 16 years ago.

Is there anyone here who collects or is interested in Pinballs Machine?

Greetings from Germany

Hey there,

I had a "Star Trek The Next Generation" pinball some years ago. Someone stole it from me when I lived out of state. I had restored the playfield and everything. I miss it

Hello all,

after a long time I'm getting in touch again. We had many illnesses in the family. First my mother and then my father in the hospital! And then it has also caught me. now, however, all are reasonably fit and healthy again.

My truck has also changed a lot.
I have again mounted other rims and extensions.
The paint was also protected with a ceranic coating.
Finally, the exhaust is from magnaflow

I'm still waiting for:
Ford performance winch
Illuminated Emblems
Rigid 30" curved LED Lights

Awesome, I'm jealous. But I did just see Guns n' Roses live a couple weeks ago so I have that.

On the "Autobahn" you can sometimes drive as fast as possible. No limit!
My tremor is limited to 89km/h.
But I can take out the limitation electronically ...
is not legal ,,, but it doesn't matter ...

Can you explain this please, why would your truck be limited to 55 miles per hour max? Is that a requirement for a 1 ton truck in Germany to drive no more than 55miles per hour?

 

[JakePs]

Very cool.

80 km/h is the maximum speed allowed for trucks throughout Europe (few exceptions, e.g. 90 km/h in France) if they weigh more than 3.5 tons.
this applies on the highway! Country road are allowed only max. 60 km/h

I was not aware of that. Does that mean any trucks, even 1/2 ton like f150 and the ever popular Toyota's?

The regulation only applies from a permissible total weight of 3.5 tons. That is why many SUVs are reduced to 3.49 tons!

Those horns can't be legal! I thought it was a €65 fine to honk your horn unless it is a true emergency?

BTW, now that you're here I would like your advice. I'm investing in more German tools. Should I buy this whole set? I know they are metric but I used to have a Martin saw so Ich spreche metrisch.

 

[Hulk65]

I think Wera is the best...
Yes, it costs here in Germany also penalty therefore it is also switched over the Upfitter.
but i think it's cool and will rarely use it....

 

[knaffie]

I don't understand your problem. The whole world drives diesel cars and small pickups that are not "clean" enough for the United States, so up until recently, we have only had gasoline engines. But you cannot register a diesel pickup in Germany? There are diesel semis (maybe you call them lorrys) and those have larger engines and weigh more, but your Tremor is not okay? Please explain.

 

[Hulk65]

In Germany, you need an emissions certificate. And the taxes are very high for diesel. It is taxed according to engine capacity and co2 emissions! With the 40to. Trucks it is different, but for the PickUps it is the same as for the normal cars.

The lighting, the small license plate etc. are forbidden in Germany anyway...
And everything must be approved by the TÜV (technical inspection association).
And they are very strict.

 

[Hulk65]

I now pay about 300€ a year in taxes in Holland.
In Germany it would be around 1400€

That looks amazing. I love seeing American trucks represented in Germany. OK, not to detract from your truck, but I see another Super Duty in the background. Is there a story behind that one?

I’m big on Wera, this is probably 1/2 of my entire set.

But i am missing and do need that opener now that @Loshad has brought it up
