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.

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!

It was a sunny Sunday just like today:
Lovely Alfa in the earlymorning sun.
Turbo Maserati looked tidy.
Perfect place to fuel up for the day.
The Fort Vuren is also a B&B. Rooms are in the fortress part, here on the rightside.
Wim and family enjoying a well earned brekkie: their home is a firm hours drive away.
Daddy Dink and his youngest pride: I like open cars!
. . . and french bre(a)d obviously. Next time the family goes along. The wifey regreted she didn't hoon with us . . .
Like I said a 1000 x: you don't have to be a carnutter to enjoy days like these.

I still have a few snaps to post guys, do you mind?
"Say Alex, I'd really like to drop in the Alfa Spider to do the first few miles with you mate."
Thanks to two non-payments - WTF! they had the bloody terrace packed for 90 mins. - the whole posse left and my gift of the gob-talent saved me a few euro's but left me almost on my own at the dike's parking. Thanx to Andy and Anne I was allright in the backseat of the airconned - rub it in! - and spacy Skoda. Imagine!
Cord and Cobra personel enjoying the start of the day under the trees and with a tasty cappucino.
Fancy line-up.
First go-ers firing up. Time for me to go for the bill. I'm just to honest.
A view from the Superb: buzzy Cuore sorting our way out. Cheers Wim!
Those cyclist just saw the trafficjam of their life!
Noisy 4.2 on our tails. Andrew: "We never had a problem with the speedbumps."
Epic happening on one of the tightest dikes: Eric's Chim suddenly stopped and that gave non-motoring Springrunners quite a handsome lineup: lots of snapping going on there! Not all cyclist were that happy let alone the guy in the electromobil. He just sat there waiting to get on.
Cool Joop decided to go for a stroll.

. . . (yeah, that's me: I can get lost several times a day 
)
:cough: )Thanx ironictwist. Tree growing out of the car though
OK, let's get on with it then:
Tante Loes parking after a f@ck up in the route description. The village of Buren: straightahead would've killed any car. Pretty busy lanes there
time for us to programme the TomTom. We were cheating 
. . . but not the first to arrive.
Ewouts glorious Lotus Elan +2S 130.
Plenty of tools in the boot but all was well during the run.
Now where would I stick another dial on that dash!?
This car has the same 1.6 twincam as the Europa: pumping out a healthy 125 brake in big valve setup.
Cloggy's red one.
Gandini couple: best photographed duo of our bunch for sure.
After a great lunch - what a place to rest BTW! a super lunch for decent money - Jan invited me in her Lamborghini:
More . . . snaps of that orange one.
Jan's Diablo not only does sound and look the bits, it also goes! Not that we had much opportunity to go silly, most roads were easy and all about enjoying the variety of the Dutch landscape. The speedbumps were taken by surprise, the Diablo has a magic button: press and the beast will rise a few inches and drop automatically when over 20 mph. Smart!
Davids C6: a beast as well. More of this 575 Nm monster after The Gallery. I've sat in David Yu's Z06 L'felter and thought this is a great GT-package: boot, space and pace. You can cruise in perfect comfort and be brutal when needed: instantly! Great office . . .
Waiting for the small ferry after a noisy trafficjam through the petite artvillage Bronckhorst.
I like your shoes Andrew :thumbsup:
Happy folk.
What happened to the green Griff? It dissapeared after The Gallery.
Our eldest of the pack: with the smart BiTurbo Maserati.
Cord rep was a looker, straight six aboard.
Speaking of lookers, the Diablo easily was the most-snapped car of the day. Jan: I get used to that.
We had a great time chittychatting and driving . . .
My gawd is it beautifull, the colour sure helps but didn't Gandini create a work of pure automotive art here?
I helped Jan getting the Diablo on the ferry: not a problem at all really. I want to see all those snaps taken here
Greetings from Holland.
Normally almost twice the load of cars taken . . . cyclist were a bit pissed.

John, ask your Brit fella's about this when you meet up with them. Next year it's going to be a not-to-miss-weekend. First weekend of May OK with everyone?
Schurink family tidy '77 911S, I love Pork up till somewhere mid 80s. Dutch Autobahn-Polizei hooned about in Targa's.
Valks '69 Giulia 1300Ti, I love that car. A KR-fav.
I missed Racke's absolutely stunning '60 2000 Touring Spider but hey: this 70s Spider is a beauty as well.
OMG I adore this baby. I PMed Ewout for a day out . . . It's been too long since I did a proper write-up.
Erics red rumble. Big thumbs up for the wheels. Did you guys check out his dash?
Cloggy's red rumble.
Harry brought the Vip for a quick peek. His shirt matches the Bug.
I heard 9K flying around somewhere. EB110 owner Joop brought a friend with a 360 Strad . . .
. . . and his dad rolled in something German
Last batch to go . . .

Last batch, Gallery goodbye:
Bert taking off. Tidy Biturbo to follow.
Glorious sounding 302. I wonder how Femme's (R) vid came about.
I hopped in with Davids Vette: perfect GT and thunder when required. The route to Kootwijk was easy . . . apart from the last bit
We all had a perfect spot under the trees and had dinner till 9ish, then it was time to say goodbye and convoy back to Rotterdam, Alphen, Leusden wherever. Luckily I fitted in Andrews Cerb
Fuelstop attracted the crowds again.
Cheers Dave for the passengerride. See you!
Thanks Jan, I've enjoyed it. Until next time!
What a machine . . .
Evil twin part one filling the Pug up . . .
. . . evil twin part two probably scoring Mars bars. See you guys!
Andrew fueling and Jeanine looks so cool in a Cerb . . .
I've said it, see you guys!
Want to do the Dutch Spring Run'09? PM and I'll put you on the list.
Spa6 first, then I'll make a new route.
Cheers, D.

Not the way to do it . . . he smokes the clutch when turning, what a dork.

Same thing on the '07 PH-meet: red playboy 360 something revving it redtagline after a few hours display, strolling on is way to the exit and then stepping on it. The dork spinned and made an utter fool of himself, had to make the silly turn to compensate and accelerated - redtaglining again - off. Our whole gang went oe-ing and ah-ing . . . that's no way to treat a supercar.
