After (semi-jokinly) posting the Mirafiori , facw generously spitted through tons of Marktplaats ads. One of the finds sprung out:

Went to a flea market today in search of a record player or some automotive posters/signs to hang on my walls (well that was my main goal). Didn’t find a proper record player, but I ended up buying 2 film cameras instead!

The Twingo has been fixed! I’m glad this means the end to all the paperwork etc. It has taken almost a month since the accident!

As some of you may know the Twingo was involved in a small accident:

Damn Monday, couldn’t you spare my car?

Thanks for the awesome gifts Rustholes Are Weight Reduction! The LeMans poster is going to look great on the wall of my livingroom :)

Early new years wishes from the Netherlands! As 2019 has already arrived here.

I just took the Twingo to an indy mechanic specialised in Renaults to replace the front brakes (driving through the Alps was tough on the ageing discs and pads in). Look what they gave me as a courtesy car: A first gen Twingo!

I’m thinking about buying a 50's/60's console radio/record player for in my new apartment. I think they fit what I have in mind for the interior, and if one would work that would make it even better! However, what I run into on second hand sites is that the working ones tend to cost a lot, while the broken ones are…

The hunt for an appartment near my new job (Leiden/Amsterdam area) is becoming really frustrating. First thing I realised were the rather high prices: no problemI can deal with that. Second thing I encountered was scarsity of appartments/studios: no problrm, I’ll just have to make sure to reply to more of them.

Have you always wanted to go on petrol and beer fueled (vehicular) adventure with like-minded people? Then this is you chance to join us for the 2019 Europpomeet!

So I’m starting my new (and first ‘real’) job today, very exciting! However, as the office is around 130km from home, and I haven’t found a suitable appartment to rent yet, this also means (temporarily) replacing the Twingo with one (or 2 or 3) of these yellow things:

Three weeks ago a bunch of Europpos were hooning across central Europe for the Alpine edition of the 2018 Europpomeet. I will be doing a multi-part write-up of the events and stuff we came across during the meet. Today part 4!

Two weeks ago a bunch of Europpos were hooning across central Europe for the Alpine edition of the 2018 Europpomeet. I will be doing a multi-part write-up of the events and stuff we came across during the meet. Today part 2!

Last week a bunch of Europpos were hooning across central Europe for the Alpine edition of the 2018 Europpomeet. I will be doing a multi-part write-up of the events and stuff we came across during the meet. Today part 2!

Never park Porsches near water, they like to swim apparently (video after the jump)

Last week a bunch of Europpos and I were hooning across central Europe for the Alpine edition of the 2018 Europpomeet. (Sadly Alpine edition refers to the mountains and not the cars in this case...) I will be doing a multi-part write-up of the events and stuff we came across during the meet.

And the ‘Ring, and the Dolomites! I just returned from the Europpomeet in Germany/Austria/Slovenia/Italy, and I must say I’m impressed by the way the Twingo handled the mountain passes.
