Hello from the Netherlands

[Mausje75]

Hello everyone!

I`am Maurice 38 yrs young and married with Mariëlle. We live in A place called Tholen in The Netherlands.

I own a 1985 VW Bug and a 1984 R4 GTL witch we bought 3,5 months ago. It was a light restauration project... with some welding and completation ( missing parts finding :P )
Upcomming wednesday he goes for APK (MOT) the first time in 10 years.. i hope he will pass.

And now some pictures:
How we bought it.





Sorry for the sideway photo`s..

And now some photo`s from a few weeks ago:





A lot to do... but i have fun with it..

Greetings,

Maurice

Welcome Maurice,

Nice GTL you have.
Please get that German thing away from here;-)

Might see you around on Tholen. I do dive there occasionally.

That German thing... drives me around for 25.000 km per year... and hopefully will do for many years
The R4 will be for my wife... but i`ll do the maintenance... and some driving

We actually live in Scherpenisse ( gemeente Tholen )
I`ve seen you also @ r4club.nl forum... ( i have the same nickname )

Gr,

Maurice

Greetings Maurice, welcome to the forum. I hope you and your wife enjoy the 4, they are great cars to own. We have a 83 GTL, and one of those German "things", a 73 Bay camper, we love them both.

Regards Brian.

Welcome to the forum, both cars are lovely and I used to have a bright pink 1303s

With a huge whale tail too!

 

[Mausje75]

With a huge whale tail?? LOL!!

I`d would like to see a photo from that!

 

[pepper]

Just knew you'd say that

Will see what I can find, may have photos of it pre whale tail to hand.

Before whale tail added!

 

[Mausje75]

Nice on! You used it for races?? Or just for the fun of it?

Just for the fun, my father 70 years old owned it before me too!

You kept it in the family for a while! They are very fun to drive! And also very easy to fix!
