Last Louwman snaps:
Jan Lammers F3 was on my boysroomwall. BossC mentioned 'Blu-Tack hell' and my wall was: spots all over the place
Toy CanAm 5 litre V8: R&R!!! Love those exhausts. Must have spit flames.
The body looked a bit like the Louis Blériot plane.
More about the 7 here.
Proper badge. Shoot me but IMO the 327 has the sweetest sound.
More Sunday snaps this eve . . .

ETA - Following the Wiki link this car is said to weigh 620kg - with that engine? What were they thinking?

Sundaymorning in Vuren:
The family's early run from Leusden: brekkie on the backseat When we got there - 8:45 - Eric's fine red Chim was already there. From then every 3 mins a car arrived.
Cor brought the 1250 HD hotrod: Pork designed V2 beastie. Elmar parked his KTM? Koens Innocenti Cooper, Berts stunning Aurora, Elco & Arams blue Pug underdog, Erics orange ST . . .
. . . our huge Dacia, Erics tasty Chim, Tommy's Vette, Alex diesel Alfa.
Oh yes, that is a fine 302 car.
Suddenly a Bugblue car appeared: was it a kitcar? It couldn't be Joop in the EB110!? But it was. He got my invitation a few months ago and put it in his dairy. Did we get lucky! Joop! takes a peek under GTRene's Hartge bonnet.
Soon we ran out of parkingspace. Last spot for this spider then. Behind the bridge there's the Fort Vuren: coffee and brekkie please!

I just noticed in Wim's video that the guy in the wheelchair-thing from Andy's photo behind the Bugatti re-appeared at the ferry (at 2 mins 52). And he's going the wrong way! Did he get lost on the run? 
Don't sweat it Arj - he's probably safely on the motorway by now
What a fabulous weekend. Great people, cars, atmosphere and weather. What more could you ask for?
Dink/Wim - you did a top job.
I thought that the best place to be would be following you as we had no maps or TomTom. It very quickly became clear that maybe we were not the only ones who did not know the route! I like the first time we got lost and turned around using the cycle path. It reminded me of a Tunnel Run, when we kept getting continuously lost on Sunday morning.
I really enjoyed the fact that we went where such cars have never been before!! The village before the second ferry was classic. People just stopped in the middle of the road and stared. And following behind Jan in her Diablo was risky, but not due to her driving. People would watch the Diablo drive past and then step into the road to watch it drive up the road completely oblivious that there were another 5 cars following. Blooming dangerous sometimes...
There are many favourite moments over the weekend. The Maas Tunnel on our way back to Rotterdam on Saturday, getting priority on the ferry over the cyclists (wow they were not happy), making too much noise in the small villages (Cerbera + sport exhaust), getting told off by Jeannine for making too much noise, the ‘quick’ drive to the final stop and not forgetting the camels!
Jeannine, Abby and I had a great time. The fact that we then fitted Dinkel into the Cerbera for the 30 minute drive to his house still makes me laugh. So I think the Cerbera should be changed from 3+1 to 3 + dog.
I have no photos from the weekend, but this one is of the Dutch Spring Run mascot in the back of the Cerbera;
Once again let me say it was great to catch up with old friends and to make some new ones.
See you all very soon

Albert needs a lift home and Andrew steps up to the mark....
"You see? My honed and flexible body allows me to fit into a child's seat with permanent damage to only two of my limbs"

P.S. I'm just starting before anyone posts up pictures of the Skoda cornering or taking roundabouts
A mad photo and Jeannine's expression tells all. If you look closely, you can even see Abby smiling and saying; ‘ … and I thought I was mad riding round in the back of the Cerbera!’ "You see? My honed and flexible body allows me to fit into a child's seat with permanent damage to only two of my limbs"

I managed to process some of the pictures Heidi (my wife), Daniël (my son) and Laura (my daughter) took.
You can find them here, together with some pics Albert took: http://www.klassiekerrally.nl/index.php?page=dutch...
Didn't add any text, so it's just the pics without comment... Off to bed now!
Goodmorning! Some of the pics my wife took. WOT?! No cars?
Something even some Dutchies didn't realize: The Netherlands are beautiful!
The old city Buren, decorated for 'Koninginnedag' (30th of May) and 'Bevrijdingsdag' (5th of May, celebration of the liberation of The Netherlands)
Yep, that's us, Albert and me... I don't like to be photographed
