Ton,

Great news about the struts - I think we will have to arrange a get-together.

With respect to being back on the road, the first priority will be to get my cam belt done, to replace all fluids and to have the car thoroughly inspected before I do any hard driving.

I have the insurance papers in front of me...my passport to summer excitement!

Cheers, MARK

Jens: Trip went very well. Was quite easy too, just had to follow the A3 all the way back up again, until I could take the exit to Arnhem.
Forced myself to make 2 quick stops so that I would keep my focus. I mean, spending the day with ferrari's, but then driving back 350km in a volkswagen golf... now thats *boring*, trust me :-)

Ton: It was very much worth it, and I will definately be there next time!

Mark,

Don't worry! It is springtime and there will be plenty of nice days. It is great to have your car back on the road. Does this mean that we will see you on our next meeting :-)

Yes, I agree with Jens! If you are prepared to travel so many hours for a small meeting then you definitely have the "passione".
That's the spirit. We hope to see you again at the next meeting. There will always be an available seat.

Roel,

Hope you didn�t have such a long trip back home! Did everything worked out like planned or did you miss the route somewhere?
Three hours is a long trip after such a long day. Nice you did join us for sure :-)

Hi everyone,

This was definately the most exciting sunday I've had this year, loved every second of it. The tour was beautiful and Ton's 328 was roaring like a lion. It was such a great sight seeing these 6 ferrari's and the porsche ride along together. Ton thanks again for the ride, was loads of fun!

Wolfgang your pictures at the gasstation are really nice! thanks alot! Good to hear your tubi is arriving soon.

Jens I must say the Tubi on your car is definately worth every penny. The sound was amazing, from Ton's car, we could sometimes really hear you downshift and open up the throttle, so nice. Also, the lap around the ring with the windows somewhat down was such an experience, adrenaline rush for sure.. unbelievable.

Harry's porsche was really impressive too. Gotta love that no compromise all-race attitude of it. Did you see those tires too? Sticky Slicky. And Harry was quite in his element on the ring too. He was very fast.

Oh to add another picture to Ton's couple, I thought this one was pretty funny. Somehow I've managed to get you three (Ton, Jens and Harry) all in the shot, but none of you recognizable. I didn't even realize until I viewed 'em all at home. Guess I was concentrating more on the cars than on the owners eh? Obviously, hehehe

Goodmorning to you all!

We had a very nice day indeed! I really enjoyed the ride and Roel was good company in the car. It was a pleasure to meet all of you. Wolfgang, thanks for the nice pictures. The pictures of the Nordschleife also turned out well. It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife.
As Jens mentioned before we waited for the Ring to open up again for at least one extra lap. But unfortunately this was not the case.
I am also looking forward to the next meeting. Uwe, I am looking forward to your plan. It was very nice to have your lowered 328 in my rearview mirror for a long time. It was a pleasure to look at your car. Also the black Mondial T impressed me with it's mean look (275 rear tires!)and outstanding performance.
I am also happy that Harry joined with his 911 RS. We had some extra fun on the way back home. It turns out that the 328 is slightly faster.:-)
Jens, It was a pleasure to see you again. I am looking forward to the next meeting in the near future. The BeNeLux area is also nice for a day of driving pleasure.

Wolfgang,

Really nice pics! Only the grey sky doesn�t fit in correctly :-(
Hope to see you all again soon. Maybe we can arrange something similar in some time as Uwe suggests (Never been to the Taunus!)



Con saluti cordialissimi,
Jens Haller




P.S. Harry, Ton, Roel and me waited on till nearly 1900 still hoping that the Nordschleife would open up again. No chance, though. They didn�t open up the circuit that day...

Hallo Ton, Harry, Jens, Wolfgang, Thomas, Olli and Ulli,

I hope you all have been arrived savety at home.
It was a great pleasure for me to join the day with all of you.

Our ride through the Ahrtal was wonderful and now I know why the Eifel is so popular.

I hope we can retry this again - maybe through the Taunus (which I know very well ;-))

Red wishes
Uwe Ricken

PS: Wolfgang, I hope you will place the pictures immediatly ;-)
