Off topic Kapitein, but have you been up to Lelystad? I remember it being on the A6, was there concrete elephants on the central reservation? I also recall there being a Caterham / lotus dealer visible from the motorway?
Anyway, your Alfa is lovely, keep the updates coming.

Lol, I got lost in Almere, and ended up on a cycle path ( in an artic ) that ran alongside the A6.

Sorry for going off topic.

Lekker! Especially like the thought of the cams. Quite a chunk of €'s for those though smile

Do you get to drive this much and if not, do you declare if off road? I briefly looked at the NL equivalent of SORN and it looked, as usual, like a form-filling nightmare for which you had to pay around €75. That is, if I remember correctly AND understood it all (arguably unlikely on both counts)

Nice bit of work you've had done smile

We talked a bit earlier about the NL version of SORN and how expensive it is. Either we were both mistaken, or the rules have changed - check here: https://www.rdw.nl/Particulier/Paginas/Voertuig-ti...

Up to 15 year old car = €73 per year
> 15 year old car = €24 per year

With your DigID you can do it all online. Might be worth you looking into it - it'll certainly save you a heap on insurance and road tax.

Loving your dedication. Have you a readers thread on the xc90? I saw your pictures on volvoforum which reminded me to come read this again A lex.

The Volvo is playing silly buggers at the moment. Hopefully all fixed tomorrow.

Ive done about 1k miles in the Spider this last month - the more you use it, the nicer it drives yes
Thanks, will have a read. Really keen on the xc90 now, Volvos have grown on me!

Looking good. I don't like the yellow tint film, but I'm looking forward to seeing it with the new rims.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread.Brings back fond memories of the 916 Spider we had.
Sienas are the wheel of choice and just look so right.
