Almost 2 years in the north east (Groningen for living, Emmen for work) and really enjoying it. My company has been growing quite the international contingent over here.

Try driving car that was never sold in NL. I've had random strangers stop me in car parks and petrol stations to talk about my car or tell me it's nice, my wife's had a colleague's husband excited to have finally found out who owned it after seeing it several times in the car park, and I've found photos of it online (try googling your number plate, it can be... interesting)
I don’t think my car gets out enough to get photographed. The again, it’s only done less than 5000km.

The only photo I find when I google the number plate is one I posted on PH!

Adaptive cruise with pilot assist is a god send, but yeah at least it’s a good opportunity to get through my podcast library.

Groningen - fantastic city ! Miss the long evenings sitting on the Groote Markt in the summer and Bar De Witz if still there , my mate met his wife who was a student working behind the bar there.

Emmen - Used to have a fantastic Zoo.

Lived in Assen for 9 years , 88-97. other half at that time was at Groningen Uni when i met here all those years ago.
Bought a house close to the TT Track in Assen - always had a lot of visitors over the last week of June for TT Week smile
