    this afternoon, we had just finished lunch, we decided to have a drive to... well no plans were made. We set off, the kids were given a sleeping-pil, heading for Knokke. For those who don't know what Knokke is: a little town at the Belgian coast, a couple of miles from The Netherlands and it has a mayor who wants to get his town up there with the more well known upper-class towns in Europe. In fact he does succeed in what he wants. All well-known clothing designers, everybody who's anybody has a place there,.... well you get the picture. ;)
    On our way up there we had the pleasure to follow a Renault Alpine for a couple of miles....

    ...when we got to Knokke my wife was given the task to count the Porsche Cayennes we saw, but she gave up after one hour and 50 of those in all versions, women !!! ;)
    With my dear friend Paul in mind we started to look out for Ferraris and Lambos and to our surprise we spotted a yellow beauty. We also saw the new BMW 645 coupe and convertible, the new mercedes and more Porsches you could count...

    ...we kept driving through this pretty town and on the promenade, while following a 360 spider, we got at the Casino and BINGO!!!! About 200 Porsche 356 were there on display. We got out and in their display area there were: another Gallardo, an Audi W12, a couple of Bentleys, a Bentley Continental GT, a Porsche 996 RS, three 550 spyders, a 907 GTS and many more..

    ...the weather became worse so we decided to head home and just when we left Knokke we saw a Maserati Quattroporte being followed by another Bentley Continental GT, but one could use an extra hand to hold the camera while driving in town......

    Paul,
    no problem. We've enjoyed the afternoon and I can only say you it's worth paying Knokke a visit. One always spots something special(most of the time when one least expects it), so we sure are going to visit the place when you're over..
