Hank is about 66 miles from Assendelft. I never heard from that place :blush:

Thanks that you like my car. I'm very proud of it.

We have a lot of aircooled cars in Holland. ( almost in every street you can see one.... (or they are in the garage

) And the scene is getting bigger and bigger.

Meetings : almost every Saturday, Sunday and Thursday night between may and october .

In the summer ( june/ aug) the meetings are bigger. weekends. ( 3000 cars)

Like Budel, Spa, Bug show, Das Drag Day.

You can see some 'Kevercop movies' on you tube.

Cheers
