Ivan, nice entrance. I’ll try and find a Carlsbad (I’ll mark it up, C to a K) beer to celebrate when you cross the half-million miles. I too loved those videos you shared.
Wonder where did you mount your camera? Thinking of doing some videos myself. |
The Czech name is Karlovy Vary -prior Karlsbad since here used to live 90% of Czech Germans-which were all kicked out by the communist in 1946-55...bad days after the war.Long story 4 million of _Czech-Germans lost their homeland due to the politics....
The camera is on cheap supermarket holder -crappy one so most of the videos are made that i hold the camera with one hand, so driving one handed.The other better quality-videos, is done with my navi ..like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jxAdXCNKN8 The mili-m mark hopefully next year;-) Ivan |

well..beer can be good for many reasons.while living in south France i did complete engine rebuild for an English fella who drove from London to me to do the the job.After finishing the engine prior installment these to little 5l kegs were very useful ..just to slide the jack under it and back in the car;-) btw the engine came out so nice here is the sound of it....to take it down from the engine stand i had to use Bobcat;-))))

Ivan- Thanks so very much for posting your cool local drives. My wife and I visited Karlovy Vary 3 years ago exactly, and we LOVED every minute of it, and all the Czech Republic. Every video you post I share with my wife, and it brings us great memories. We will return!

Awesome thread! I backpacked CZ back when McDonalds was just coming to Praha (soon after the wall fell), beer was .30 cents a pint, matinee opera for a few dollars, everyone bought fine crystals to send home, a used pair of LEVIS' jeans were $200-$300, a bottle of Stolichnaya Vodka for a few bucks ... and of course, hanging out on Charles bridge with the friendly locals.... what a beautiful place and its people. Europe was not the same after I left CZ.
Thanks for the memory bliss of CZ Ivan! |
