Love the front bumper ... Purpose built ... many purposes!
Great idea and something worth looking into. I know someone who has a sheet metal business with all sorts of precision machinery that would be able to make these in bulk if required. If you are able to supply dimensions or the dwg file I'll look into it.
Hi Jean, very interesting pictures - I schedule a trip going via Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania to Moldavia and return via Hungary back for next year. (Therefore is already quite bookedYesterday I drove to the Southern part of Moldavia and reached the city of Cahul. I wanted a hotel in the center to have also a good meal at a restaurant, but all hotels are full. Ukrainians occupy most of the rooms (refugees). Finally a young Ukrainian guy who spoke very decent English, helped me (by calling around) to find a small motel at the outskirts of the city. No restaurant, therefore I cooked myself.
I saw quite some huge abandoned and ruined remains of the former Soviet Empire. Huge abandoned factories, a huge Sports Center in a small village with a swimming pool (I had to go in to discover what it was), remains of Kolkhoze (state farms), etc.

And then, I said thank you to the Soviets for this remain, that permitted me to go under my car in an easier way than to crawl:

I could remove a huge quantity of dried clay blocks from under my rear protection plate, due to my "mud stuck and winching experience" of some week ago.
And I have my front bumper that is slightly bent at the right side (but I knew this), this is clearly not a steel bumper like in North America or Australia.
) Therefore - thanks for your impressions of that area

European cars have fluffy bumpers made of sponge cake to cuddle pedestrians and green cargo bikes.
I've never happened upon a bull - angry or calm - on a public road.Australian and American cars need bumpers to push angry bulls from the road
Plus snakes, goannas and birds esp. emus - all of which I have hit (birds but no emu).
I just spent 3 weeks in Ireland , mostly on country roads. Go there.
and flammin galahs on the wrong side of the bloody road!
define unsafe (over there), did you have plenty of the black stuff?
We went to Ireland a number of years ago and found the traffic light system very different to the UK.
