[DutchGT500]

Today we went to the Dutch GT4 championshsip race on Assen racetrack. I drove the Grabber Terror and Astrid drove her Terlingua. She had her licenseplate last Wednesday. It was a great race with 3 Mustangs, 2 Corvettes, 4 Aston Martins, 4 Ginettas, quite a few 911 GT3 and BMW M3.

On our way back home a Volvo V50 of the KLPD was passing us. I was waving to them. Astrid drove in front of me and they passed her too. Then they showed us the lights. We had to follow.

Were we speeding? No. Seatbelts? No. It was curiousity. They never saw two cars like these before. After a nice chat they wanted to see the engine compartments, hear the engines and roar of the exhausts. This was brute force to them. It was a Dutch Shelby kekkel party. Lucifer showed them his fearsome growl.

Did you notice some new things on the car?

[NordicShelby]

Yeah Astrid's name on top of the door with the Netherlands flag next to her name

[NordicShelby]

And The Terlingua Yellow racing stripe on fender

[FordRocks1]

Gefeliciteerd! Now, mag ik stuur uw auto?

[DutchGT500]

Good job, Chad. And the Shelby letters on the back.

[NordicShelby]

Oh I see it now once I blew the photo up and after you pointed it out.

I bet Astrid is having so much fun with the Terlingua. I can imagine how many people over there wonder what the heck that sweet looking car is.

Very cool! I really like the Shelby letters you put on the truck....something Shelby should have done...

[DutchBunny]

The Dutch licence plate matches my car, yellow with black.
I am a happy Bunny!

I loved the Pic's Patrick.

Good to see you guys having fun with the cars.

I can tell you first hand how easy it is to spot your cars from a kilometer away, Patrick! Good to know that Astrid's car is legal now. Shirley and I had a nice time visiting you at your home last week.

Astrid & Patrick,

Those are awesome photos!

You better plan on adding hours to all of your trips, as this may become a regular occurance.....

Now bust a move over to Deutschland and jump on the "autobahn", too many cameras in the Nederlands, as I personally know (I think I may have told you my story last time we met )

Anyways, congrats, great pics and enjoy. Hopefully you get much good weather this summer so you can continue to exersize the two beasts

Those plates look great on the Terlingua! You certainly have a one of a kind there! Love it!

[sportscars]

Thats funny! I kinda like it when the police express interest in my cars. Gives me a chance to meet them (never hurts to know the local law enforcement!).

See you two in January!

Have fun in the Terlingua!

P.S. What do the kiddos think of the new car?

[Shlbylvr]

The car looks awesome.

I love the word kekkel.. We used to use kekkelbek a lot growing up.

The kids like both Shelby's and love to come with us for a drive.
About the interest in my car, when you get the sign to stop your car you first are asking yourself what did I do wrong? When they tell you it is a routine check and ask if they can look under the hood you know that that is why you were pulled over. We certainly had a nice chat with them.
See you, Astrid
