Lot's of nice classics on a wet meadow . . .

And there's more on www.klassiekerrally.nl

There are some crackers there - including some good examples of my particular weakness, old Volvos - the 1800ES is stunning, and the dark blue Amazon with the white roof is good too.

The straight-eight Bugatti is excellent. What is the massive driveshaft coming out of the back of the head for? I presume the distributor is hidden behind the bulkhead somewhere looking at where the HT leads go, but the driveshaft looks far too chunky to be driving nothing but a distributor.

No, it's not attached to the compressor.
It's a nice piece of over-engineering I guess...
The 1800 ES is very nice, but the wheels are SO wrong!
A pity we don't have pictures of the Tiger Moth that flew over at 17.30.
The pilot: "I'll fly over, but not as low as last year"
He was right. He flew about two metres higher, so he could avoid hitting the treetops

The Volvo was allright Wim, c'mon . . .



A bit unsharp but check those wheels!

The car is gorgeous, can't get used to the bling wheels, sorry...

Bling wheels? Those look fantastic on there maybe an inch too big
