Dutch LT1

**dutch-lt1** · 04-05-2009, 02:37 AM

Hi there,

I'm Rene, 35 year old male from The Netherlands. My daily drive is a Red 1997 Trans Am with the LT-1 engine. For sunny sundays I also have a white with blue interior 1969 Corvette Coupe with a non-stock beefed up V8

and 4-speed manual. I'll be doing a lot of reading and picture viewing on this forum. I know what I like but my brain

is not set up for the technical part of cars, so I'll leave the posting up to those who know what they are talking about....

Pictures!!

Cheers,
Rene

A modern Trans Am and a vintage Corvette.... hmmmmm, sounds vaguely familiar. Welcome to the site!

Very nice! Is the Vette lowered in the front?

Rene,

Zeer koele auto's!!! Hoe gaat het met jou? Ik ben aan Amerikaanse Maranier. Ik verhuis naar de Netherlands ongeveer 25th April met mijn Cobra!

LOL! Thanks. Your Dutch is very good, guess you've had some lessons... That Cobra is very cool, you'll be one of the very few on the Dutch roads. Just a heads up; The Netherlands is very very crowded and speedtraps are everywhere! But Germany is not far: NO speedlimits on the highways!!

You should really come a week early, the 19th is American Sunday on our national circuit Zandvoort... Maybe next year... FYI: The Dutch forum for f-bodies is located at www.f-body.nl...

Maybe I'll see you around...

Yeah I have studied Nederlands/Vlaamse for 6 months. I wish I could come early but the Goverment tells me when I can leave and stuff. I am really looking forward to chatting with a new group of car people. Hopefully our paths will cross! Tot ziens!

Welcome to the forum!

I stand corrected... Indeed, most of the time. The Germans (some Germans, who have the right cars) hit the pedal until the speedlimiter kicks in (250km/h for BMW/Mercedes/Audi), but when a sign indicating a speedlimit comes up, they are not shy to test their ABS as well...

In the Netherlands it is so crowded, we are happy if we ever reach the maximum speed of 120km/h...

Hmm... Not that I know off, could be... Looks like it in this picture... I'll look in to it when she comes out of my brother-in-laws garage, don't have her home right now...

Here are some pictures I took today of my TA parked in front of an old windmill, thought you guys might like it...

Hey,

I am here finally! I am living in Houten with my buddy until my car comes in. I am going to find a place somewhere around Utrecht or Haarlem maybe. I dunno I am still looking. In a week or so look for my gele Cobra on the streets!
