you both could be right on that:hehe; monday morning I will be online to check the news on this forum, while drinking some coffeé...then I take a walk? to the court(its a 10min walk only so don't worry) and get my drivers license back
So the rest of the day a lot of time goes in driving around(low speeds though) I take a little trip around some old places I playd around in my "yonger days"

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh
I've got it back! my drivers license...and I had a drive, felt like heaven
But I have to be very carefull not to loose it again, its so quik to elegal speeds!

A Big local TV and Radio station heard about it from court and the phoned me if they could make a report on radio and a report on TV included a ride in my car on TV, but I have to be careful, as a lot of people will point at me...because my car is a bit famous already, only 3 in NL, and only 1 in my color.
But I can do my story about safety and speed, and that I'm not a holigan, and have bin rewarded also for driving trucks and cars, and 23 years of no accidents!
The radio report is also about some ensurance for speedtickets! only tickets not faster then 30km/h...you pay I heard 30,-euro and then are insured till 300,-euro, not a bad deal, but I'm not interested, they will ask me what I think of such system..
cheers have fun and drive safe.

Thanks guys, I surely take it out again today, just had that radio talking done by phone and I'm satisfied how it went, not to many euhmmm's and did some talking.

In 5 min there will be the TV boys at my home, to make a newsreport of how I felt those 3 months and we gone make a ride in my car and they film it all, so have to do something with my hair joking I'm bald
Hope I don't say something stupid on TV and people feel the carpassion I have and not look only ad the high speed I drove wich maked it National news on TV and papers and forums...So I hope to come out as a desent person who likes cars and knows what is he is doing?? I had to go now...they will arive soon.
Have fun and drive safe

I gues it did go well that TV stuf, it was a nice man from Tv-Oost and he asked me a lot of things, also if I'm happy now getting it back(you know what my answer was I guess)
and if I would do it again and filmed me getting in and out the garage and starting the car, and we did a drive to the place where they got me speeding...he filmed a lot also the speedo at a perfect 120km/h where that was aloud ofcorse.
I also let him feel how easy the car goes fast...he was amazed..and that way could get your license gone...gone in sixty seconds
So at 18h local time its on TV-oost not in GB ofcorse.
But I'm realy carefull now...trying, very difficult...
He also told me a story what was on the news today, of a woman who borrowed a 420.000,-euro car! and a few minutes later split the car in 2! grazy! it was a porsche, I say see maybe borowed a fast car to end her life?? but she still lives! amazing its in the news today here.
Thanks...and hopefully no new stories here about getting busted for speeding...

Here is the link to my TV premiere and my Z3 M coupe S54, remember its Dutch Region TV my show begins at 06:46 min and stop ad 08:28 min so you have to be patiented
I can't make it shorter so you have to wait a bit till it started, they also mentioned that my speed on that point was the highest ever recorded on that trajeckt point, easy to do, but a high price to pay...no more for me, only that high speeds on roads where its aloud...

the last link had problems, so now better use this and press on date 16 (januari) nieuws en weer on that date...

I cannot get the link to work. I went to the rtvoost website and have gone through about 10 min of live TV without seeing you. I get a mediaplayer error when I try the link - tried 3 different computers.

yep, i see, its not working anymore! it did when I posted it, I try to fix it! or someone else is looking, because the line goes fast to almost the end and then started again...so I think its busy, because it did the same when I posted and on almost the end the news begin and then the line goes slowly...but I check it anyway...hope its ok soon!

Try this; www.rtvoost.nl/main_media_archief.asp?id=63&titel=Nieuws en weer&tv=1#
and then click on 16 (januari)
this works on my PC
have fun, and remember it takes exact 06:46 till it begins and end at 08:28 so 1,45 min only

Yes it is now official - RENE IS THE PISTONHEADS LOTUS FORUM BADBOY!

Car sticker to be sent out shortly:



or alternatively:





I would add though Rene, that you look way younger than you make out! I see you took a great deal of time with the hairstyle for the interview. Suits you though - the shaven look makes me look like a drug dealer!
