Hi everybody,last weekend we were on a meeting in Holland, Boxtel.

Some pictures:

This Manta was looking like new, the car was always stored in dry condition with low mileage and only used with dry weather.

Also a very nice looking car with just minor details to fix.

This is my own 400, very stressfull moment when "Granny" passed my car with the rolator...

Nice looking "A", my son (14) would like to have one.(Yeah, I understand him what I have to do)

Rekord Coupé, one of the best looking German Coupé's in that time. If you look on the right side you'l see Granny accelerating and leaving

everybody behind!

Always a selection of excellent Manta's (and other Opels) in the Netherlands.

 

 For those that have not been 'across the North Sea' i can recommend it.

Hi Mantaman, you'r absolutely right! I'm a Flemisch Belgian but I'm member of the Dutch Mantaclub.

Belgium is thanks our government not so "car minded". I don't have a lot of weekends free so I can join

their meetings only a few times a year. Next meeting I join with them is the "Zeeland meeting". Zeeland

is the region just above Belgium, by the sea.

And we (Flemisch & Dutch) speak Englisch!

 Hi Herman,

 

 In the UK we refer to Belgium and the Netherlands as the 'Low Countries' perhaps due to them not having any mountain ranges !! this groups them together in our eyes.

 

 I have been to Belgium a few times in the distant past to enjoy my other interest, Rallycross, i would have liked to be in Mettet this weekend but will have to settle for Lydden Hill in the UK.

 I'm jealous !! gotta decide if me and my mate are camping at Lydden, makes sense as i want to get both days in, but there will be space for the seats.

Great pics of what looks like a great meet! B)
