If nobody else wants it I'll take the Toyota 2000 GT cool
Very nice,
Anybody know what happened to the other 350?

You forgot "take lessons so you can PRONOUNCE Scheveningen" - except that, unless you're Dutch, you can't even possibly hope to...
Actually I can - and it sounds more like Schkayveningen! I've also never stumbled on Michael Jackson or this museum......
S- <soft CH as pronounced in loCH> - a (you pronounce an a quite like a Dutch e) - veningen.


And us Belgians can pronounce it quite well, thank you biggrin

A few other pics.


Look how stoked Hitler looks at the prospect of mid-corner yaw gain.


The King's jukebox.


He was probably so hopped up on goofballs that he didn't realise the spare wheel holder on the back was too small to hold a spare wheel.


Not Jody Scheckter, nor Tomas Scheckter, but Dave Scheckter. Actually it's Ian Scheckter, Jody's brother who did a lot of testing in this 1976 March 240/771, a car that never raced competitively.


Racing cars don't get much prettier than a 1970 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona Coupe. Won the Imola 500km race at the hands of Nino Vaccarella.


Who knew Enzo Ferrari was so good with the pithy soundbite?


1939 Lincoln Sedan deco rider.


Insert Tab A into Slot B.


Eccentric banker Hugh McDonald had this Curtiss Aerocar Land Yacht built in 1932. The cockpit is fitted with a compass, barometer, altimeter, speedometer and swivelling floodlights. The galley has a refrigerator and a working toilet.


Here's something to give you pause for thought. This is what Chinese cars looked like as recently as 1986.

Good plan. They have a large forecourt where car clubs can park up I believe, rather than using the underground carpark.

What happened to the Maserati Medici? Well, from the B pillar forward it looks a lot like a De Lorean...

I knew the museum existed, but I did not know there is a Delft-based PH massive.

If you look closely, you see the passenger cell is still pretty much identical to the 1953 Mercedes Ponton cars (the first gen without wings and running boards) it was based on...

Erm it might be 3 people strong (+2 ish if we allow people from Rotterdam to visit) now with you on board. I might have exaggerated slightly smile

But I think drinks in Locus Publicus or Doerak should be organised smile
