Hello from Latvia (it is somewhere in eastern europe)

May I join your nice forum?

I come from very nice and beautiful city - called Riga.
Me and my family already for 3 years are completely keen on american cars.
We are members of USCARs club and voyager club - and now we decided to make very small enterprise to produce for us and our friends this beautiful thing - teardrop trailer.
It is not popular here but I hope soon will be.

And I hope - after a week I will have an American classic car - Pontiac Grand Prix 1976 - 50th golden anniversary model - but that is another story.

I hope this forum will help me to build my first dream teardrop.

Dainite,

Welcome to the forum. I think we have another forum member from Latvia, haven't seen any posts from them in a while. We love to see pictures, not only of tear drops. So start your album soon :pictures: :cheerswine:

Welcome. That Pontiac is a "muscle car"? I'm more into a slower drive, as seen by my classic '60's VWs.

The teardrops will be very popular when people see what they are. Good luck with the enterprise.

Thank you for nice, welcoming words. I will try to make gallery - to better introduce myself.
I love teardrop and hope in next summer I will show to everybody what is it :)
I am dreaming about that old Pontiac, but it is the future. Now we have Chrysler T&C 2005 - also good car for traveling.

I just uploaded few pictures. Other fotos in my work laptop are too big for this site. In the evening, from home I will add some more. I hope everyone can see them. :)

But we are speaking about teardrop. I decided to make a complitely new technical project from all ideas which we could find in the internet, sertificate it (it is Latvia :) and it is neccessary) and then produce them. If every thing will be OK - I hope un till next spring I will have ready first demo model for pulicity :)

Now I am making calculations and writing a business plan for bank and support from European Union money for beginers in small business, like me.

Hyvää Iltaa Latvia. Good Evening Latvia,.our Baltic Neighbor to the South.
Nice to have you onboard.

Looking forward in seeing your teardrop building photos and possibly meeting you in Haapasalu, Riga or even in Finland. If you need any assistance and help in locating parts let me know. Ive been here awhile enjoying my friends around the world and this great forum as well as this addicting and fun hobby.

I was in contact with Meelis from Estonia for a longtime however I havent heard anything from him in awhile.

We were invited to come to the "Bauska Country Music Festival" to perform a few years back.
