Dutch Spring Run 2009: 2 & 3 May
Discussion
After 30-something minutes two familiar V8 soundbytes came our way: ta, where is the nearest fuelstation dudes!
TomTom was our friend and guided us to Reken:
Ollie filling up his thirsty 6 litre.
The absolute dogs.
When this is in your rearview: better move away!
Same with this one: even louder a thunder.
Hi Anne.
Wind down windows no way: this is the way to let fresh air in.
Great shirt Andy.
Check the see-thru fuelcap.
The nose of a Vmax king: chin came down on the Autobahn so we had to scrape our way to Vorden!
You gotta love this Jap, as I do. On our way to lunch Ben learned me some convoy antics.
Very handy was the leading car - Supra - 'stay in passing lane' signing the last in convoy to safely pass slow traffic. No worries to frighten euroboxes.
Surely, that can't be the hose for diesel . . .
Next: Vorden lunchstop.
ETA: Reken!

Rain in the skies so no terrace for us: Vorden lunchspot arrival.
Our little convoy took the shortcut to make sure we'd team up with the group.
And we arrived in time to welcome them. Brian thundering in.
Erics smile says it all.
Klaas giving me the finger?!
Mega pop 'n bang Japrocket.
Next: quick blast to afternoon nip 'n diner spot.

Dinkel - you would have enjoyed Supercar Sunday breakfast at Goodwood this morning with your camera. All sorts there. Couple of XJ 220, couple of Alfa 8C, latest Maserati GT, X-Bow (driven down in the rain!), American Muscle, nice yellow Lambos and a few score of those red cars from Italy (including a California) and a bee-oo-ti-ful one of these,
Ouch Steve and I was thinking of getting up - 3ish - and drive to the Euro Chunnel and meet you guys at 8. But I choose to have 4 meetings with friends this weekend (drove 700 kms just the same, is Holland small?), do the garden, clean up and did the full Tesco's. It is amazing the things you can do when the family is out. It must be my ADHD . . .
You must've had a great time Steve, can you direct me - us, dear readers - to the topic packed with fine snaps?

Elco was allowed!
Thus parking in as the last one
A classic really. I saw Aram today . . .
. . . he has a 'white' Corolla TwinCam (mid 80s?) as a daily hack. These guys are getting the classic car fever.
Tasty Chim.
Tasty ST. Eric had me as his passenger for out last stretch - wasn't Jan in Ollies Monaro? - and that was a surprise. The car looks hardcore but is actually very comfy and enjoyeable to be in. Everything's there and the seats are great. I would've liked to know how it compares to Joop!s 325 Coupe . . . really!
Stamping hard when in a corner is an experience but for a FWD car I was amazed. Performance is a riot! I believe the RS can see 270 kmh on the tacho!
A hunderd horses down from the ST is Alex' fine 'white' Alfa vert.
We came in early!
Great memories coming back just looking at this.
Next: eat!

Time to get inside and share todays stories with a glass of Coke or wine:
Elco, Sophie, Ben, Ollie, Andy, Bryan and Alex freshing up here.
Arj, Ben Andy, Sophie, Alex and Bryan telling though stories.
Time to say goodbye and go catch the Chunneltrain or Hook ferry.
Let's see if we can get this one to work.
Ben leaving from the special parking space. Can hardly believe you guys have made your mark in my Leusden.
No tiremarks from Eric: he behaved nicely.
Brain left the Ultima for a few hours of Tapas enjoyment.
Next: diner!
