Dink's Klassiekerrally 2007 blog
Discussion
As usual an excellent event: top weather, top entries, top atmosphere and a ride in a Diablo SV . . . More about that later, let's have a look at the cars:
Gorgeous line-up of Mog, Matra and a duo of early 911's.
Brilliant Cooper with all the bits, no rear seats!
Mog's spare.
Fine 2.4.
Yank beef:
C2 beautifull red Vette.
Look at the exhausts.
Classy 289 with a Cobra Ford in. No overstatement here.
Is this too much? I think not: XK120 coupe.
Owners drove 3 hours to get here. I want one.
Yours truly with the '26 Buescher.
Next: there's so much more. Expect a full months blog folks
I thought not much could top last years event, but never trust expectations: this one was even better.
Cheers, Dink.

Nice footage from our Dutch Autoblog.nl friends.
At 40 secs: GTRene's Hartge and Kewly / Dink (waving) passing by. GT40 rep, Messerschmidt 3-wheeler, Tiger Moths flying by and loads of classics in a massive crowd. Tom tells the story about his immaculate Lamborghini Espada, my pick of the bunch.
Edit to add: even more pics here.

Thanx Rene, will you bring your rocketship Hartge over to the Nring October 8th?
That would be awesome. I'm sure some of the UK boys'd love to see that supercar killing piece of Beemer. Some effing torque!
Loved the ride as always. Damp roads meant tricky corners but hey: it really holds and is controleable.
The sound when floored is real dzjerman muscle. Respect . . . and don't sell it, they told me

There's that luverly '69 Southern Roadcraft 289 again (302 fitted BTW). IMO the best Cobra-shape. Those 427's are a bit too macho IYAM.
Of course they look the absolute nuts, but somehow they only make sense if there's really huge power up front. Beefy Rover V8 in this one.
So yes, a 275 hp V8 will make fine progress and sounds OK. Scare Rari's every now and then . . .
. . . but it doesn't have the 7 litre-badge just for looks. It effing needs a master-torque tire-eating axle-splitting piece of Yank steel in. This red baby can be seen in the vid posted on page 1. Great accelerating action there.
The 911 to have.
British steel:
MGA lump, if I'm correct.
Scimitar V6, never seen one of those.
More Healey's to come. Some imaculate and utter gorgeous 100s . . .
One of my favs of the meadow: Fiat 508 S Balilla Coppa d'oro, 1934
600 kgs, fourpot 1 litre, 30 hp, 115 kmh, 3 speed box.
This guy and his wife did the 2007 Mille Miglia in it and was Best on Show at Spa/Italia 2007.
The owner bought it in '64 and drives it . . . Fantastic!
"Hey, there's more over there!"
Tomorrow.
And check this for Heidi's pics. Great stuff there
Church of Noise said:
Great pics Dinkel! Didn't know you 're into music too.
I WAS into music. Before my 2 girls I used to semi-pro altosax in bigbands, jamsessions, I had my kwintet, did festivals, sit-ins at bands, etc.Since nightlife and babies don't really combine I quit and pick up the axe every now and then.
So thanx to my daughters I'm into cars now
This year a record of 100 cars doing the rally and about 30 on the supercarpaddock area.
Early morning Opel Record. Meadow's ready to take huge crowd and a bit too much cars. But hey, we know now
This colour suits Aston DB6 just fine. It's 10ish and cars dropping in every minute now, guided by Tom and Wim to park tight.
Tom's gorgeous S1 Etype. Behind it two projects: cocooned XK120 almost done and barnfind XK150, both dropheads.
Typical allsorts of everything overview: nice S with 2.9 V6 was just ready after extensive restauration.
Wiesmann brought 2 cars for all day display: yellow Roadster and drop-dead gorgeous GT coupe with flappy padels. A primeur, I wonder if there were journo's to catch it though. Both drove along with the 100 rallycars: they loved it to bits.
W'mann enthusiast GTRene always attract crowds with his thundering 420 hp / 530 NM Hartge. Effing fast thingy and he might just drop by at the Ring oct 8th. The car's for sale but by God do I hope he still has it then.
Amazing in the early 70s both these cars drove side by side on our motorways: Big Healey and bigger Espada, as featured on the autoblogclip. More and more people seem to like the 4-seater.
Ex-ABBA drummer Countach has nearly 400 hp on the rearwheels. LP5000S sounds like nothing else.
Next: it's getting busy, rally's getting started. Will drop some this eve

Since we arrive at sunday before diner, I guess we'll be up for ringtime at 9ish Just call me Rene, and you'll find me . . . sitting next to someone with fast wheels probably 
Wikipedia about that Reliant GT SE4 (1964–70): "Reliant's first Scimitar was a coupé based upon the styling of a Daimler SP250 prototype (renamed the SX250) and the chassis of a Reliant Sabre. It was first displayed in 1964. It was powered by a 2.6 L Ford straight six from the Ford Zephyr / Ford Zodiac.
In 1966 the SE4A was replaced by the SE4B, with a V6 3.0 L Ford "Essex" engine. The cheaper SE4C came with a 2.5 L version of the same engine. Just over 1000 SE4s were produced."
Talkin' about Rene: Wiesmann!
The roadster surrounded by the British heritage which inspired the concept.
Rene says this GT's wheels are special.
Flappy pedals are a nouveauté on the GT.
Interior to die for.
The Mogs grow on me . . . should I worry?
Usually most of the rides are from the UK, I guess because they are simple to maintain. Note the plastic bag with the sandwiches.
Usually one or two awkward beasties appear at the KR. This year there were more than a handfull pre-war stunners.
Talkin' 'bout awkward: Messerschmidt provided a funride around the meadow. The kids loved it and at the end of the day the Prof. took as much as'd fit in! Funny guy.
"Say, what's in there old chap?"
It's that Tadek Marek - former tank engineer BTW - six again! I wonder what happened to the guy . . .
More straight six: there's arriving and arriving. This Etype does it in a silent and most elegant way . . .
. . . while this racy (Webers, Wim?) XK120 slided and stormed its way in. Love that noisy beast.
There's way more . . . tommorow evening. Time for a glass of rosé and a chat with an old friend

Thanx.
THAT dog in the '61 Ford Galaxie Sunliner.
Probably the most seen classic over here: Volvo 122.
Alfa's:
Giulia 1300, there's no classic 1.3 sounding better than this one.
And there are not much small verts looking any better than this one.
TR3's are a different class. They're both funny and rough and you can touch the tarmac while driving!
This one looks to die for in red and with the whitewalls.
The allround roadster GT: in 4.2 the one to beat. It's faster than you think: try grab one in your period Rari!
Some say it's the most beautifull car ever produced - not me - and I'd say it has one of the best bonnets ever.
I like that: a type-style badge.
Healey 100 detail. I thought to give details a try and they looked rather silly on my small camerascreen. Most turned out to be nice IMO.
I'm a sucker for tidy lumps.
Artistic shot just for the hell of it

Rene, Wim: you already saw 'em all 
A nice badge to fiddle with.
A lot of red cars this year BTW, MGA 1600.
THAT Healey 100, a bit rough but my gawd what a stunner. More later.
Note the 3-speed gearbox. Healey's must have nuff torque.
Luverly old dashes apeal compared to contemporary plastic and digital muppetery.
In racetrim these babies outperform 911's with their 275 brake. Feck me, Spa within weeks.
Feck the ozon-layer S3 E V12.
Mini Ferrari FIAT X1/9, what an odd name BTW. Tom doing his best Dirty Harry here.
Oh yes, sorted Giulia again. Soundbyte!
Nice lights, small plate.
Two-stroke and wobbly, one of the most tasty cars around there: 1936 Auto-Union (AUDI) DKW F5 with a wooden chassis!

Fav 100 of the bunch. That sidepipe is SO close to the ground.
What a little tweak of the windscreen can do: hotrod!
This year Wim choose tidy 50s-typeface Hermann Zapf's Palatino. Big 1955 2.6 four with 110 hp and in '55 guise with 4-speed box.
MG TA 1936 rolling to duo-start the rally. Take-off procedure took a mere 40 mins this year.
Tightly harnassed in his RV8 Cob rep.
"This beastie revs up to 8K." I really wonder dude . . .
THAT Fiat.
I'm a sucker for a Ponton Merc. Especially in U-boat grey.
Funny: XK120's wheel isn't wood. In fact, most 50's and 60's Jags have plastic wheels. And if not they have been replaced.
Favourite TR6 and owner - funny guy - ready for take-off. He has a garage full of nice classics - and no kids - and started his car-life at 18 with a Giulia. Good man.
Scimitar: the rear is - with some imagination that is - a bit 400GT-ish . . .
It's because I really have nothing else better to do than showing of KR'07's pics
Edited by dinkel on Sunday 9th September 09:40
Last bunch of starters, it's noses-time:
Clean Mk2, Wim giving last details here.
THAT noisy XK120. Always a spectacular entry and arrival.
Not this Aston, whispering take-off.
This is gotta be one of the finest originals. Gorgeous.
German engineering came a long way . . .
. . . although I'm a sucker for one of these big VeeDubs.
They also did one of the meanest WO2 fighterplanes
There's a particular story about this one. Maybe Wim can write some down?
Next: Arrival of the Diablo. Bunch of Lambo's.

More French bread:
1938 Traction Avant was one of the last to go. Lino Ventura! Alain Delon!
:ring ring: Lambotime!
Mark Nauta called he would make an entry with Kewly and his stunning SV! And a spectacular entree they made. Revving the 5.7 while crossing the bridge turned heads. Wim's Morris in the background.
Kewly parked his beastie among the two Countachs and Rene's Hartge, opened the doors to get out and let it cool down for a while . . . at idle and thus spectacular.
Tom had conversation at last
IMO Gandini-styled Diablo is the last real Lambo. No match for the Countachs though . . .
Big power packed at the supercar paddock.
Tom's LP5000S has some 360 brake at the rearwheels now. Electric ignition, peppy exhaust and all. I need another go in his white lightning. The 4.7's sound is frightening.
This red baby is factory-souped with faster cams and spits flames at idle.
Mark and Rene enjoying themselves. Still haven't seen a single KR-pic, Mark . . .
A Countach looks a bit small compared to the elegant Diablo.
The Hartge has a big 5 litre V8 and sounds like a Nascar.
If you think Z3 performance think again. This is a Diablo slayer. Windmill so we're still in Holland.
The one-off is a GT-cruiser as well. Reasonable 25 mpg. Diablo is a bit more thirsty and a sensational looker. I'm not into practicallity when it comes down to supercars but there are some buts, more later . . . Performance is all cool but drama is what really grabs me. Let me tell you about Diablo and Hartge at speed . . .
Next: lunchtime! Passengerseats in both the Hartge and Diablo.

"She said: 'the passengerseat is crap anyway', so I guessed that saved me a lot of money and trouble. Anyways Tom, great set of Lambo's."
And off we went, on our way 30 mins up into Germany. To a most amusing lunchspot I must say.
GTRene's acceleration attempts made the Diablo a bit small in the mirror. I'm sure on the Autobahn it'd keep up easily. Twisties are perfect for the big V8. Damp roads and heavey rightfoot caused fun moments. The Hartge is so controleable though, almost one-handed action. The Lambo is more of a handfull I think: it feels big! The uber-meaty 5.7 roaring it's way through the revs but it's above 6k where the typical Lambo-whine appears. Glorious piece of machinery and a looker: lots of cellphone-cams flashed the way back. And what a way to enter the supercar paddock . . . Lunch was fine BTW
Spoiler makes a great shovel.
On our way back it cracked, "Oh that's good for symmetry, now it's snapped on both sides" Kewly stated. Feck me!
Olav's nice Scorpio-engined '89 TVR S.
1965 TR4 with the globe-logo on the nose and wheels. What's that?
Janssen's 1960 DB4. The guy has a Bugatti rep I didn't snap this year: bloody shame!
E-vert is the E to be. Hardtops are allright but racers for me then.
A few years ago C&SC mag named 'em best 60s allround GT
Big '53 XK120 and small '60 TR3.
There were quite a few red cars out there, gorgeous theme for a run.
In Wim's dreams he has the house, the land and this utter disireable Riley . . . what is it: RMB 2,5 litre?
Next: afternoon-program.
The globe-logo on that TR4's bonnet. Shiny little bugger. I love that bump and the bonnet draped over the lights. A TR6 should have that.
A slight drizzle at 11 o'clock made lots of ragtops start closed. After lunch the sun was shining again. The posse convoyed back to a cold beer and bigband music.
My pick of the TR6-bunch: a hairychested sportscar? For a moment it's not . . .
This one most certainly is. Beefy twincam - note the double bubble - sounds sweet. Love the wheels.
After an uncomfortable but most enjoyeable passenger-ride in the SV we came back and found ourselves a packed field. Even more snappers for the Diablo! V12 attracts even a blind man. Thanx for the right mr. Kewly.
This is got to be one of the finest Yank rears of the 60s.
Here my nr. 3 70s Rari - after the Tona and the 365GTC/4 - the lovely Gandini designed 308GT4 . . . Although this is the 2 litre (Italian tax-system!) 208GT4 it is still a dohc V8. Great to see the resamblance with his Fiat X1/9 here.
Bertone didn't do much Ferrari's: check period Lambo's Silhouette and Urraco.
This is more familiar: stylingwise the 308 and 328 came from the original 246 Dino shape.
In this row Stevens' Esprit Turbo (in blue) is a matching car. Give me the Giugiaro any hour of the day though.
These cars are timeless. Period Lambo Jalpa is rare . . . Are they still around?
From Rari's V8 masterpieces to Auto Union 2-stroke is a huge step . . .
Looks a bit like a transistorradio 
More?
Dunno Wim, TR6 just has it.
Merry-go-round car's perfect for a summers day.
Whether they are shiny . . .
. . . or a bit ratty, 50s Brit sportscars appeal. This 100/4 has it all.
Another Merry-go-round car, but what is it? It's got to have the most simple dash ever.
Although this is pretty close as well. There is really, no need to add more bits. Apart from satnav and phone-kit maybe.
What the MGA, B and TR3, 4, 5, 6 are for the Brit cars is the 308/328 for Ferrari: a bit of a standard. The icon of a mid-engined sportscar.
285 kmh GT40 rep with 4.2 Audi V8 in. It's low! . . . and noisy.
Another German icon: 2.7 RS.
I'm not into 356 speedsters . . . but hey, they do look nice: luggage heating.
Nice row of Pork here.
Mazda 616: mid 70s they were a laugh but at the KR'07 they look perfectly in place.

Interiors:
Comfy and porny.
Hardcore with a 3-speed.
Woody and classy.
Nice Healey 100 detailing.
Yank hardcore Vette. Kewly's looking at a Merc vert.
A true '69 Cobra rep. Nice burbeling 302 in.
You gotta love this 1972 Matra 530 LX by Michelotti. Mid engine 1.7 L Taunus V4 ohv V4, 915 kgs and 73 hp. A tad under 1000 were build.
A bit faster mid-engined beauties line-up.
Another step up in speed: RWD 5.7 litre Diablo SV.

Mothtime!
These little buggers keep fascinating.
They're so agile.
Enough sun = fast shutterspeed. This prop is made of wood
And here a metal one.
Period Bug sounds completely different and smells like an aircraft too.
Wiesmann roadster and Cobra boast the same concept and yet are so entirely different. The 289 for me.
Really great the two W'manns came over. Somewhere in November we'll visit the brandnew factory. Did you guys see the new V10?! It's there as well.
THAT Countach.
THAT Espada.
It's definately the era they came from: mid 60s to mid 70s. The mechanics are feel-able. Those two and a Tona racer in my garage. That'll do . . .
Last bit monday eve.

Make that tuesday afternoon:
Near finished XK120 DHC cocooned and restau-project XK140 DHC MC: they're trucks with their bodies of! Both have the mighty 3.4 straight six.
XK140 DHC MC has the more powerfull C-type head.
Of all 50s Jags the XK120 (1948-1954) is my fav. OK, XKSS . . .
Never mind the color, this imaculate fixed head turns heads.
Dangerous curves. Closed wheels!
Going all arty farty here.
Big '64 Volvo 544 Duett stationwagon. Production of the PV444 and PV544 series ran from 1947 to 1965. The 1.8 is a killer engine.
Galaxie Sunliner rear. Made to carry birds.
Can someone please tell me what this is?
The end of the show: ready to go Countach.
Gandini's nice work can't be beaten. As can the V12 . . . All Yank beef and Italian howl in here.
Next Klassiekerrally-event: probably a 2008 spring run.
I'm thinking of organising a May thingy in the Belgium Ardens. Hooning around, Spa trackday, eat 'n drink, have some fun. It could well be a combination with the KR-Springrun for starters. Max 4 days . . .
Near finished XK120 DHC cocooned and restau-project XK140 DHC MC: they're trucks with their bodies of! Both have the mighty 3.4 straight six.
XK140 DHC MC has the more powerfull C-type head.
Of all 50s Jags the XK120 (1948-1954) is my fav. OK, XKSS . . .
Never mind the color, this imaculate fixed head turns heads.
Dangerous curves. Closed wheels!
Going all arty farty here.
Big '64 Volvo 544 Duett stationwagon. Production of the PV444 and PV544 series ran from 1947 to 1965. The 1.8 is a killer engine.
Galaxie Sunliner rear. Made to carry birds.
Can someone please tell me what this is?
The end of the show: ready to go Countach.
Gandini's nice work can't be beaten. As can the V12 . . . All Yank beef and Italian howl in here.

Spa to come!
What a nice and funny buggy you have. Bug boxer 4 in? I was a huge Ruska fan.
