Hot Rods/Street Rods in Germany

Every so often I remember to do some searches for some of the events that were running when we first started this forum, generally sticking the word Treffen on the end of stuff we like (youngtimer, retro, hot rod etc.) brings up some nice pictures. On top of that I also make sure when friends or family (or I) travel internationally people pick me up a local car magazine. All of which combined to remind me that Germany has a fantastic and active hot rod scene. We're used to the Youngtimer and VW scenes being well represented and if you keep an eye out you'd probably suspect that the hot rod scene out there was pretty strong. So I went looking ... and I found these!

Now this is as far as I've got into this... a few searches on Flickr and some more galleries to check out...

Anyone with better connections/language skills wanna give us some facts? Good events to visit? Good websites? Well known cars?
