Oldbus, if it's alright with you I will be joining you somewhere around Roermond/Maasgouw, where the A73 meets the A2. Do you have any idea at what time you will be there approximatly?

We´ll be leaving "oldbus garages" at 10:00 and the first leg is to Brussels to do some car swapping and trailer loading at GTV Johns´place. I´d expect to be passing through Roermond somewhere around 13:00. ;D

Is there a motorway services on route where we can meet up?

[R3TR0_R0B]

Will check that, would be good to meet up at the first servicestation after the A2/A73 join. I'll get back on that.

Hi guys!

If anyone see a guy in an '82 Tercel turn up then be nice to him...I met him randomly the other day (he's on a UK camping holiday with his girlfriend) and suggested that RRG might be a good (cheap camping!) stop on his tour.

It's a black one of these on NL 'plates:



Thanks! ;D

[Oldbus]

Anyone on foreignplates driving anything remotely old and interesting will automaticaly be integrated in the convoy along the way and dragged brought along!! ;D

There doesn't seem to be a service station near to the A2/A73 joining on the side of the road we are going to be at, but let's just say we meet at the 1st motorway services on our side of the road.

Is that alright?

To get the timing right it might not be a bad idea to know where we are going to meet....as i normally go via Antwerp i´m not sure where the services are on this stretch of motorway...i´ll see if i can find out.

At what junction will you be joining the A73?

[R3TR0_R0B]

I'll be coming down the A2 from Weert/Nederweert. Maybe a McDonalds somewhere near Echt? Not sure that's near the motorway though.

Just checked, it's not right at the motorway, but not far off.

Can I apologise publicly to Berendd - you could've been piloting the Trump if I hadn't been a wally and had my docs and passport stolen - meaning time for finishing the car was spent tooling around back n forth to Germany to get everything sorted so I could make the gathering.
Lex is running fine - but MoT runs out midnight 13th!!! thought I had another week - sorry
track shed is on offer for a go if you want compensation
