Post by: maandy on May 02, 2010, 09:30:22 AM
Hy 1.may every year we ( estonia usa car owners ) have tradition to open our summer season. So I thought maybe you all would like to give a look how we make it and what we drive. http://www.rallifotod.eu/album249/fotod.html (http://"http://www.rallifotod.eu/album249/fotod.html")

That's awesome to see the enthusiasm around the American cars.

Great pictures and thank you for sharing!

I have a limo like this one.  Mine is getting painted and I was deciding between this color or charcoal metallic with a black top.  It was a hard choice.

^^^^ Yeah that is ASTONISHING :rollin:
 
That, the blue caddy with flags on it, the K-5 blazer with the individual star and stripe decals all over the pushbar....I wonder what people that aren't affiliated with your club think when they walk by and see that kind of attitude along with all the cars..?

I don´t think so it´s more like everything what´s from america is welcome. :D When we cruse then a lot of cars have all kinds of flags out of the window. As long as you dont rise any russian flag then youre ok otherway you are not safe anymore. :D

Thanks, those people don´t like it who are jealous and those who are into rice burners and say that we drive with big ugly and slow cars. We don´t care about them.

Are all the club members from Estonia?  I'm assuming the club met somewhere in Tallinn?

Thanks for sharing.  Tons of nice cars of all shapes and size.  One thing I noticed is that apparently the "van craze" is still alive and well somewhere in the world.

I need one of these to tow behind the Jeep:

A portable bar!  Awesome.

On another note:  People in a foreign country that don't hate Americans and most aspects of our culture?  After watching the news here for so long, I was unaware there were any places like that left in the world.

Awesome pics.  I found the full size vans kind of funny for some reason.  I love the location, how some buildings are kind of run down looking and some are modern looking.  Are the windows painted on some of those buildings?

TO t3skidoo: Yes all Members are from Estonia but many other american car clubs from Finland, Sweden , Norway and more are visiting us every year. We cruse with them and enjoy life :D

TO 50tbrd88: Yes the van craze is big. You can find the van for parts almost anywhere here too. We have few american car junkyards too.
 
TO jkirchman: The moving beer bar is always there when some drag competition is going on. News news it´s a saying that if you believe a half you still get cheated by half.
Maybe there still are places like that. :D

I haven´t seen much american cars at the show what´s from Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and so on. But sometimes I´ll see Germans. Maybe it´s too far away and expensive for them to come here cause they definately have their own car clubs as well. You know the gas prices at the europe :D today price was calculating...  $1,63 dollars per liter and gallon is 3,78 liters so its $6,2 dollars a gallon. What´s the gas price over there?

Nice to see how you have it in estonia!

If you guys want, I can upload some pictures from american car meetings in Sweden.
A side note, we have europes biggest car show and one of the worlds biggest!
Does 5,000 american cars (only) say anything at an empty airfield? Hehe!

Maandy: We have about the same price in Sweden!
A little bit more expensive here I must say, we're closer to 8 dollars a gallon.
I'd be happy with 5 dollars / gallon, that's cheap!

Considering how long they've been waiting for independence from the USSR, I'd say that the rebel flag is somewhat appropriate.
