Jahrestreffen 2018 in Johannesberg-Steinbach

[Uwe]

Willi ich seh nix, außer dass Du nachts nicht schlafen kannst

[LeiLa]

Ja Uwe: "Man sieht nur nachts mit dem Herzen gut - das Wesentliche ist für manche Augen später unsichtbar!" (Ziemlich frei nach Antoine de S-E.)
Bei mir hat's geklappt -
mit Android: anklicken, herunterladen, öffnen und
mit Windoof nur anklicken.
Es gab bis heute Mittag 17 Betrachter.
Ich denke, wenn Elo dies Kuddelmuddel liest /sieht, wird er 'für Ordnung sorgen'!

Dir nochmal lieben Dank für euren Liebesdienst mit der tollen Briefmarke

[Uwe]

Sehr gerne Willi, du kennst ja das alte Sprichwort, der 319er verliert nix... (auch sehr frei)
vielleicht gibt's ja irgendwann Briefmarken mit 319 drauf
sonnige Grüße, Uwe

[Elo]

Moin moin,

Die Videos habe ich jetzt zum laufen bekommen.

Willi, kannst du mal nachschauen ob das die richtigen sind?

Grüße aus dem sonnigen Westerwald

Hello !
First I have to thank you all for your warm welcome, particularly Werner, Willi and Rebecca for all what they organised for us, all the job they did while we were having a good time.
I have enjoyed the four days I stayed in Steinbach with you. Sure "I'll be back !".

I took many pictures, here are a few ones.

Friday 18th of may
I started from west side of Paris at 06h45. It lasted two hours to pass on the east side of Paris.
I arrived at noon in Freyming-Merlebach, in France a few kilometers from Sarrebruck, to visit a friend and have lunch with him. He owns a garage there :


A big surprise, just to start this week-end on the wright way ! One of his clients had just left him his L319 for a few improvements :




A well furnished camping car :


I left him at 13h00 and arrived in Steinbach at about 16h :

On the road from Aschaffenburg to Steinbach

In Steinbach, Waze (my GPS application) didn't know the wright streets where to pass or I missed the left turn in the village , so I had to pass another way :


It was about 16h15 when I arrived at SV-Steinbach 1972 e.V. :


First Werner, Willi, Wilhelm and a few other ones welcomed me.
Willi helped me with a 13mm key tool to secure the battery cables of my E200 cabrio : one detached when I had a stop in Aschaffenburg...

I don't talk German, but since almost all of you speak English, it has been easy to have the first contacts.

After the welcomes, I installed my "3 seconds tent" next to Uwe's car :






The easiest "first" contact was of course with Wilhelm I had met in Rétromobile in 2017 or 2016 : he talks French !

Axel in the foreground, owns a o319 I had seen in ebay... So we had a lot to talk about his car.. <;-)











Dinner arrived rapidly :



My first beer of the week-end.

And then came the fire place time :









The swedish fire prepared by Willi

Saturday morning : "das Frühstück"
Breakfast, the first meal after sunshine. Another moment to share with my new friends.

We were confortably installed, and Rebecca proposed us a great variety of bio products.












Among this bio products, one specially pleased me : Bionella. I usually prefer Nutella, but I have to admit Bionella is at least as good and have a better structure, and of course no palma oil.

[Jean-Manuel]

Let's have a look at our cars present on saturday :


This van is very special : the engine and the automatic gear box were taken from of a w124 300D (1985-1995).


This is the original coulour of my L319D "pritschenwagen" which is now blue and white.


Axel's bus










Uwe must be a nice guy : he's got a "french" bus !


Werner's van






Willi's van is full of life !




There were strangers in the 319er group : my A124 E200 cabrio, Mister President's S124 220TE with its red bumper




Another bus, almost the same than Axel's.


Build for France, this one is back to its native country.








This is not its original colour, but I love it !

[Jean-Manuel]

The 319s were the purpose for the meeting, weren't they ?


Wolfram's daily car

[Jean-Manuel]

Of course, there was life :


Wilhelm, your doctor told you walking is good for your heart... So why don't you just do it ?








It looks like if it was a bar, but, guys, the beer is not there !




This two guys smile : they found the beer !


Carefull with the sun !












Nice, Willi is preparing the wood for the swedish fire !

[Jean-Manuel]

It's time the group gathers for the souvenir's picture :

Fire time is better when night comes...





A scottish guy singing, but no "Scottish Rain".
























Gute Nacht Axel ! Schlaf gut!

Hi Jean-Manuel,

Best regards, Christian

Sunday


The view opening my tent in the morning is something that never happens in normal life...










Let's not forget our friends

It's time for the sunday road-trip to Aschaffenburg, let's go !
