Splendid Alfa Romeo Berlina 2000.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/P6044244.jpg)
Marcos 1800 GT is small. And light. And pretty quick with a Volvo mill between the front wheels.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/P6044247.jpg)
One of the absolute rockers of the meeting had to be this cute 70s Civic. Flawless.

Dutchies love their Lancia. There are quite a lot of Delta's over here.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/P6044245.jpg)
Could this be a Triumph TR6? I can't remember, but this certainly looks like a thirsty fella.

Still one of the best examples of an early 70s Alfa Romeo GTV, at least in my eye.

A build like this 1972 will get you a car to your spec.

Kasteel De Haar is voted most beautiful castle in The Netherlands.

Cute Italian style plate looks the business.

Dec 22 #DauwtrappeRS meetup at the Real Art on Wheels collection. But first get there. I teamed up with Niels (Giulia) and Frederik (308 GT4) to slip and slide for about an hour.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PC224598.jpg)
The keen watcher spots different wheels on my 916 Spider TS (2002, 230k kms). The car came with old wintertyres and one of them could not keep the air in. I decided to ditch all four and opt for used tyres. My garage found a set of four tidy rims but with only two tyres on.
The original Teardrops will be spoilt with fresh Vredestein Ultracs next April.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PC224599.jpg)
The Giulia got a Balocco Classics treatement and looks the business. I think the stance is just right and I adore the wheels.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PC224600.jpg)
Yup, there are some quirks about this car, but who cares? Frederik is a hero for bringing it out his time of year.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PC224601.jpg)
And there we are. Packed with a substansive collection of 50s to 90s cars, RAoW is a great place to drop by. After five or so years of miss-meets owner Bodie Hage spent some time with us and talked us through his gems.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PC224602.jpg)
Unfortunately I'm an inch too tall to find a proper seat in this one: Miura looks great and I'm happy just watching this work of art.

The oldest car I ever did some miles in: 2014-17 Ford Model T.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/P4171755.jpg)
The owner built his T with bits of different original cars. He took me for a brisk spin. Some experience!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/P4171761.jpg)
The base chassis is actually wood which makes for a spirited rush to 40-something. And suddenly that's it.

Hidden in a nondesscript box on some industrial complex...

And a few more from the Dutch Octane Scramble #4:
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084533.jpg)
Rare FIAT Coupe next to a gorgeous Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 (Heritage Cars) and a Landy dripped with patina.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084534.jpg)
This is what a 105-series GTV 1750 looks like: not sure about the gum holder...
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084535.jpg)
More Italian gems: 80s GTV6 2.5 (the sound!) and a Lancia Fulvia on the best wheels ever.

Daf 55!

Triumph Dolomite Sprint in lovely lavender blue.

A day out with two Mercedes-Benz Ponton gems:
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084749.jpg)
Inside the 54ps diesel.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084758.jpg)
On the motorways a rear of a 190D will appear quick, and you will pass. Smoke!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084748.jpg)
Great wheels, fantastic comfort, spacious, and the 180 is agile and brisk too.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084760.jpg)
Teutonic markings.
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/h254/Dinkel_photos/PA084778.jpg)
Working radio: but will you hear what comes out...?
