Thank you all for your good remarks.

What part of the Carpathian Mountains is that?

Man, that is one crazy front Bumper that the EU spec Jeeps have!
The pics are taken in the Middle Carpathian Mountains( Carpatii Meridionali ), in Baiului Mountains and Iezer Mountains.
The EU front bumper is maybe big, but offers good protection from dirt and is street friendly.

Shipping with container costs aprox. 2000$ depending on the company.

One of the days while we were driving through one of the small towns, a young gypsie woman threw a rock at our car and hit the windshield, luckily no damage. My girlfriend told me to just keep going. The things I wanted to do cannot be mentioned.....oh well, the country has it's nice parts too....but those damn gypsies are a menace.
I"m sorry for what happened to you, but it's not a common thing.

I made a port call in Constanta, Romania a year or two ago and it was one of the worst places I've seen.... Rubble and trash everywhere....packs of like twenty kids or more at 5 to 8 years of age roaming the streets with weapons to attack and rob people.... I advise anyone to stay away from there. Maybe other parts of the country are better...but that city? Stay away! I vowed I would NEVER return to that place as it was HORRIBLE! I felt like I was in Iraq or something.

I might need to explore elsewhere in that country sometime....as those are truly beautiful pictures. Maybe my mind can be changed!
Gipsies are a problem, but they live in every european country. In Constanta is not trash, but the most expensive beach of the Black Sea: Mamaia. My friend who has the Range Rover in the pictures visited USA with his wife and child and had similar problems in a gas station. Luckly he practices box. Nowhere is safe.

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Never seen this side of Romania before. I'm very jealous, I would love to live in a place like that. I guess I'll have to stick with New Jersey.

WOW.

I don't know what is more beautiful. The Alps near southern Germany and into Austria or there.

I have to add that to my list.

1. The Alps (done)
2. The Appalachians (done)
2. Colorado Rockies
3. Carpathian Mountains

If you can't tell, I'm a mountain-loving kind of guy.
