I would love to be there. Captivating for the imagination on this side of the screen.
Thanks, Bas.

Cheers guys!

My favourite would definitely be the first one, a classic 911.
Did find a local transaxle Porsche specialist, might pick up a minty 924 this year

I'm a big 2CV fan, was planning on buying one but still have mixed feelings. The rust problem is my biggest fear.

Sorry meant 2's.

Rust is usually on the floor pans and easy to replace.

I think you need one.

Been bitten by the Porsche bug, the 924 is more practical to me, and a bit faster too Same price range.

Hate to buck the trend here but that R5 Turbo is my favourite. Proper hardcore nutter’s car!

Great shots, Bas. Thanks for sharing

OP, you snapped three of my favorite four. Please tell me you have a Mini Moke picture left in your camera. It is the only one you missed.

Thank you for the 2CV, 912 and 1600/2002 pics. They are weird but I so love them.

P.S. Great boots!

No mini moke unfortunately, the beach buggy car next to those 2CV's was a Citroën Mehari.

There was an Austin mini cooper S for a mere €50k for sale though
