Spangdahlem, Eifel Region

After searching the forums I did not find anything recent, in regards to Tacoma owners over here in Germany.

I have only been in Germany for a few months and I have seen ton of Tacoma’s over here. I don’t know if there is currently a meet up group or not, but it would be pretty awesome if we could get something going.

 

There's a few on here me thinks

 

Anyone here?

 

army dude here, own a '12 DCSB and a 4Runner. Do the german dealers work on American Spec cars?

 

Hey man I am located at Kleine Brogel a GSU of your base maybe 1.5 hr away.

 

Here in Belgium yes, but only certain ones. It winds up being cheaper if you order the parts yourself after they diagnosis it. I try to help as many people as I can out here by ordering parts and installing them so they dont have to get screwed by the local mechanics.

 

I'm in Stuttgart with my Tacoma. There are quite a few in the Stuttgart area, though mine is the only one that is lifted and has steel plate bumpers. I feel like I'm going to run over some of these euro cars sometimes.

 

whats it like driving in parking garages? I heard they are super narrow and hard to maneuver in with a bigger car

 

I didnt take my taco, but i was driving in a parking garage in Munich during Oktoberfest, and it would have been impossible to drive my truck in there. We were in a smaller suv and even that it felt like the scene in Austin powers when he has the go-kart in the halway and gets stuck.

However in Trier there is a modern parking garage that would easily accomidate a taco. So i guess it just depends. I would scout them out with a car first though.

 

The parking garages are definitely fun. And by fun, I mean nerve-wracking. I hold my breath and pucker up everytime I do it. The height is always too close for comfort, the lanes are narrow, the spaces are short and the turns are tight.
I have a single car garage at my apt and I can barely even fit in that.

 

Thread Revive from the dead. Just Bumping to see if there are any more TW members in germany. I did see a black TRD Off-road lifted and with what seemed to be like Retrofit headlights.

 

I'm still here. Got 2 ish years left. I'm the indigo ink Tacoma with the Mat black roof and hood. With no more decals on the back... Thanks ISIS.

 

Sweet where do you work at? i dont see that much on base seeing how my job is all the way on the other side of base (Combat Arms)

 

I'm Fire. how long have you been at Spang? Did the decal ban get you too?

 

Been here for about 7 months. And yes the decal ban got me but regardless we drive a freaken tacoma. Cuz that's not American lol

 

what's the decal ban?

I had a decal (not a tacoma but still a Toyota) when I was over there

at the track in Bitburg

 

There's a DOD policy banning all decals on your vehicle that relates to or is somewhat American. Or can easily identify you as American. Precautions for us guys here in European the European Theatre.

 

ah ok, they already changed the license plates a few times...to "blend" in - don't know how you would blend in with a full size truck or SUV over there lol

 

Nice Celica! i had a carbon blue 2000 GT-S loved that car

 

thanks, we had a few over there back in the days
