And this time it has 4 wheels!

With the first few days of the Tour de France being used to celebrate the 50th aniversary of Eddy Merckx’s first win, I went into the rabbit hole of vintage racing pictures, and eventually ended up finding these pictures of awesome vintage team cars. From a time before every team had a Skoda Octavia:

It’s my birthday today, so posting French cars (or DAFs) will be appreciated ;)

I’m going to look at a Citroën BX Sport today, and if it’s any good I’ll try to buy it. Wish me luck!

Below are the picture evidence of the Europporally points that we hit. DutchieDC2R and I had a great time to race between all these points, and tried our best to hit as many places as possible, while completing a lot of side missions. (A hike of 30-45 minutes to get to 3 castles exhausted us quite a bit though,…

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!
