Dutch Spring Run '08 in pictures
Discussion
We have loads of time . . . Spa6-topic took over 3 months before all snaps were posted 
See you all there this autumn guys?
Speaking of Spa: 17/18th May BossCerb will race the mighty Thunderroad Cobra at Spa. Go see. Little chance I'm there but trust me it's impressive stuff.

Some nice snaps from Joop here.
Great bunch of pics so far!
Thanx for taking those pics of me being absolutely comfy in the Cerb Andy. My but did not touch the seat, I only bumped my head once and my left leg - or right? - rested on the tunnel, making a shift only just possible. Leg started to sleep after 30 mins, when we arrived all safe and sound: thanx Andrew, Jeanine, Abby!
About 200 snaps to go through, will take my time as usual. A few from saturday:
Arjans stunning piece of Tusc Vert.
Here the door still worked . . .
Eric's sweet Chim 4.3, Andrews mean Cerb. Qty and Reckless Eric inspecting it.
Wow and wow, this is it. Gives a decent sound as well!
The one and only Hartge, David, EricT900, Arj, Andrew, Qty, Reckless, GTRene, Aram and Elco.
GTRene thundering towards the gasstation.
Reckless Erics beauty: this ST is a looker!
The only car without flies or any dirt. How do you manage!?

Davids fine Yank, here at the amazing Louwman Collection.
Torque and torque, such a relaxing car to be in. A beast when in anger though!
My fav of the bunch: Jans awesome - AWESOME - 6 litre Diablo.
Spinechilling scream thanx to sportsexhaust.
Furby for good luck.
Orange for queensday, 30th of April. It was very hard to stand out in the all orange villages on sunday
Sheer beauty.
Convoy to Rotterdam: Dinks 1.3, Jans 6 litre, Davids V8 and Arjans Speed 6 . . .
. . . and Reckless fourpot. Posse was filling up.

What did we want? 
food sir!
After a few beers in the sun:
Aram's stare.
The happy bunch.
Eat Arjan eat!
"Are you sure you don't want a shrimp?"
They managed . . . and turned into fish and jumped in the river Maas. We never saw 'em again . . .
Arjan did a great job getting all of us - 15 - on one table. Cheers for that mate.

Louwman Collection snaps:
Moody Roller.
Big hall with tasty 20s and 30s cars.
Voisin with the killer badge.
Porn D'berg.
No need to pimp that.
I love 'em, shame they don't drive these often . . . All minters.
What's this, Auburn Speedster? 30s bad boys choice.
Real Cord, the yellow one on sunday was a rep. Great car that. Very happy owners as well.
\
Otto Vu Fiat in fine livery.
The 2900 Alfa was to die for! My snap didn't work out though . . .
I snapped a similar Rari 750 - big fourpot! - at last years Spa6:
Well driven 275 behind it.
You gotta love the Pegaso.
Every guy my age had the funky Sbarro on their wall.
More tomorrow evening.

Why not lift that thread out of the restricted part of DF Peter?
That's the reason I put the pics-topic on GG.
Great collaboration with Pistonheads, Klassiekerrally and Driving-Fun innit?
Great to meet your girl: she likes great music! Qty also is involved in stuff like Steve Gadd, Yellow Jackets and Keith Jarrett. All of a sudden cars were out of our sight.
I was thinking of giving up on the carsthing and turn to 'all music' mode next year . . .

Excellent stuff Andy, big thumbs up. The Bug turned out well eh?
This topic should say: image heavy
More to come? Keep 'em coming then.
David: I value the Belgiums better drivers than us Dutch . . . I guess you were just a bit unlucky. Or we Dutch just move aside when stunning cars arise
Glad to hear you all made it safe back.

Just goes to show how incredibly diverse the participants on the Spring Run were! 
Yeah and could I get past him? Bloody turbo lag!TheStoat's photograph said:
Didn't the green Griff had some troubles as well? Never saw that one after it left the Gallery.
More Louwman:
Jody's other 6-wheeler was a bit more succesfull . . .
. . . and you can guess why: this one had an extra axle welded on the back, and that was about it.
Fab looking Alfa's, Indyracers in the back.
Nice 33s.
That is what I call a drumbrake.
Lovely Maser showing off the bits.
Alfa LM winner. Odd Bug colour.
Without words.

There's always next time indeed! Like next year the Spring Run is in the rough already. First week of May?
Great snaps there Andy: I knew you could!
A few comments - I'm wrecked at the moment.
That Cord is a very nice rep and a Klassiekerrally Winterswijk regular. Also a very good event to attend BTW.
Berts Aurora 289 is a stunning thingy. Relaxed 302 in that. Topchap as well.
The Bugatti was a surprise: months ago I mailed my adressbook section 'Car' and he was in. Never heard anything of the man since. Bloody surprise to see Bugblue rolling on the dike!
He also told me he hardly revved past 5k, and that's where the 4 turbo's come in. A bit later we all saw his mate in the 360 Stradale and I believe his dad in the Macca . . . Feck me!
GTRene's Hartge is still for sale folks: awesome thing or what!
The stroll through the little touristic village must've been quite a sight . . . from the pavement that is! There's hardly room for a ferry's load of cars at a time let alone 40 odd cars being loud and colourfull. Local news . . .
We had major luck at the ferry. The river IJssel had some extra water in to get us on the ferry on a not to steep angle. Jan's Diablo raises a few inches and was just fine. I saw an Impreza entering backwards . . . no problems where I so much had expected them.
That ferry can carry twice as much cars so yes, those cyclists dirty looks came from somewhere
TheFarmers Abby is a lovely dog, all day long in a thundering Cerb - loudest car of the day? - and she got all big hugs from everyone.
Alex Diesel Alfa was quite something. He could hang on with the big guns . . . WTF is in there?
Harry's Vip was on the Anglo-Dutch TR last year. Hernia troubles his back so he had to take it easy. Big bugger for him . . . next time mate.
Aqua blue Alfa is a fav: 2 litres and a joy to see and hear.

Toyota 2000GT :drool:
A miracle.
Louwman was - or still is actually - the Dutch Toyota-importer. This beauty was one of the many 50s/60s/70/80s Toyers at display.
Huge US influence on these cars. Early Celica's are hard to find . . . in rustfree condition. The 2000GT gives away a few styling cues.
150 brake straight six 2 litre.
More . . . Toyota made a CanAm car: 5 litre V8 double turbo . . .
