Everyone should get pics of their events and post them on Carp. Due to it coming up to car stocking season (erm?) ...I mean stalking I'm going to be pulling out many a nanosecond working on that fish to get it up to scratch for Arabian Splendour this summer. :D Mmmmm fish.

Lol we have a couple of good ones a year here, but nothing like the mental ones in HK!

Well, since some jerks messed up everyones trust in car meetings in Holland, we only have some events but not a proper meeting.

But hell, i just go to the Nürburgring :lol:

Yeah, we like Nürburgring. There's a sportscars club, which organizes trips to Nordschleife, Alps or whatever else. However, I don't know if I visit the Nürburgring. We might visit it when we will buy a new car in Germany (which may happen this year).

 

btw, you're right. It's about 8 hrs from my home. I'm about 1 hour from Prague.

Sounds interesting... You have a hell of a lot of spotters in Holland. I think it has by far the largest Spotter:Cars ratio lol.

Good! If you're going there send a message. If i'm there you can do a passengerlap in the Rallye haha.

2008 some guys started Cars & Coffee in Holland. Even got the official stuff from the guys in the USA. Everything went fine for a while.

Then they thought: "Hey, let's do this Roadtrip". Sounded like a good idea. They charged €75 for people that wanted to participate (incl. dinner, hotel and breakfast so not that bad).

Lot's of people signed up and then it was called of. Nobody got their money back and the guy who organized it went on holiday... So anything that is organized hardly get's visitors because there is no trust anymore which is a shame.

And yes, way to much spotters in Holland. I wouldn't even call them spotters anymore... Idiots actually fight/insult/threaten eachother if they can't upload their spot on AG... Stupid 12 year olds ruin it for everyone that takes a picture of a car...

Some guys even climbed over a fence to get photos of a car on private property, then when the owner came to ask what they were doing and if they could GTFO. They insulted him. On all Dutch forums they "hate" carspotters because of those little morons ruining it.

I never call myself a "spotter" anymore because i don't want to relate to these f-tards.

 

Long story short: Car culture in Holland sucks. Everyone hates on eachother (Y U NO DRIVE BMW!? FWD FOOL, LAMBO'S ARE FOR POSERS and such bla bla), no one respects eachother (Hey look, one of those ricers in a Skyline...) and being an enthusiast/photographer isn't appreciated. Dutch culture just sucks. If someone has a better car they hate, if someone has a cheaper/slower/whatever car they hate aswell.. Everyone is being an idiot which is stupid, people should learn to appreciate stuff.

 

Last meet i went to was in 2010. Was a pretty decent meet/tour.

To be honest, everytime I go to London there's a new random kid chasing a 458 down the road yelling at the driver to rev it and do a burnout. London is nothing like it used to be, there used to be about 5 or 6 of us spotting most the time except summer when there's a foreign invasion. Now there seems to be 10-15 spotters around every weekend :(

I don't know. I'm 15 and my dad would not be pleased. You know... :p

 

As for the spotting: I don't like car spotting, to be honest. Sometimes it looks like they are papparazi's. It would bother me if someone is taking photos/videos of my car. But yes, when I was in Monaco, I made some pics.
