^^Maybe you should wear a bear suite, so we can recognize you, cause there will be more than one Dutch E60 530i I guess


btw, it's coming real close now

Oh yes it is, BTW the 5er is black with a manual gearbox! I'm sure it'll be the only Dutch 530i like that.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be able to meet up with you guys since the time table is rather tight...

Shit, I can't fucking sleep 45 min and I will go YAY!

Sad note.. we got (as always), the damn A4 1.8T Avant.. but it's silver instead of the usual black (160 hp)

And the fucker who got it before us actually took the liberty to steal the Sat Nav DVD.. so basically we will have to navigate with a map like in the XVI century or something

What a day it will be!

We took the three of us together a shitload of pics. And you guys will definitely going to like these pics!!!

Secondly I had a great day. The cars were awesome, not only the Ferrari's at the GP Strecke but also the cars at the NS. And TT digs the NS! He’s addicted to it now

About the trip. I scheduled a 3 hour trip to the ring, but in the end it only took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get there. Ok, I did not really kept my speed within the speed limits on the Belgian roads, but on the other hand I did not floored the car all the time on the German Autobahns. Of course I did it sometimes
On the way back on the other hand, it took me about 3 hours. There was more traffic and three times I went down the wrong road on the highways. Fucking illogical highway junctions and bad road signs. Maybe I should buy myself a GPS or at least I should have printed out a map of the road (I only did that for the B-roads from the Autobahn to the ring).

I enjoyed a great day!

And before I forget a big thanks to dodo for showing us some good spots around the NS.



ps: I will try to post a very little preview in the next hour.

I already edited a few pics.

First of all, our cars we used to do the trip:




Swiss rental A4 attacking the NS :p




Dodo driving at about the speed of light




Ferrari meeting:




We also saw the youngest Ferrari driver ever at work





Thanks to dodo, we were also able to see some cars that aren't released yet:

Your preview pics are awesome once again It must have been such a great day !

Wasn't it hard to speak different languages together ? I mean TT already told us that he can't speak german very well and I don't know if dodo speaks a bit of french I guess you just used english when you were all 3

Though it's hard to tell from the pic if he's pushing hard. But he definitely likes his first Ferrari drive:






j/k of course
