Some nice ones from The Netherlands René R!


This coming Sunday about 800 ACVWs (and my Porsche 912 Wink) will be parked on the boardwalk again for the yearly event "Aircooled Scheveningen" I am sure there will be some splits present Cool


Korte Hoogstraat is in Rotterdam and the big shop in the middle is still there.
