I don´t know whether anybody else knows the German Magazine "Chrom & Flammen" (Chrome & Flames). It´s about American vehicles (vintage, muscle, modern) and American stuff.
The current issue (06/09) publishes our travel report from February 2009 on 7 pages:

If you should wonder, I didn´t get any money for the story. It´s just for fun.

That's nice, how did you get your review in the magazine?

PD: Is that a CTS with a vinyl i see in one of the pictures?

A couple of month ago the magazine made a survey what readers would like to read. And many readers were asking for travel reports from North America. The editors said that their time is short when they are going the U.S.A. (SEMA etc.) and they usually do not make large round trips. That´s why they asked the readers to send travel reports. And this is what I did.

btw: is your (CCF) 2nd name "Eagle Eye"? You´re absolutely right regarding the CTS. I´ve seen a couple of CTS with this weird vinyl roofs:




Off-Topic but funny: In Tombstone (AZ) I saw this Mercedes S-Class. I´d think the plate means "I GOT 2". What is modesty??

Hehe nice Germaneon though i'm not sure of liking vinyls on CTS, they look good on more stately cars like the DeVille or DTS but on CTS... that's nice that you got your review on the magazine, specially with so many pages! you did a good work, shame that we do not have a magazine like that in here, i'd love to read it

The front cover lists sales prices for Austria, Switzerland, BeNeLux, Greece and even Spain. But I suppose it´s German only even in these countries.

Yeah there are newsagent's that have foreign press but that's more in bigger cities, not something i could find in mine sadly

In German only? There certainly was a Dutch version of this, "Chroom & Vlammen". I used to buy it as a kid. Don't know if it still exists... In fact I still have some old copies.
