Dutch Bosmal Cabrio 650 on Holiday in South England

[listenchris]

Hi British persons!

I decided to become a member of your club when I decided to take my '95 Bosmal on a trip to the south of England. You'll never know when it may com in handy to know some experts online!

I've bought the car last september and at the end of july and start of august we'll be coming to you to enjoy the famous English weather!

Currently we're fixing the gearbox and doing maintenance on the brakes. We hope the little Maluch will be ready on time...

Greetings from Holland,

Chris Aa

Welcome to the mad house, there are quite a few members who live in Kent, Sussex and along the south coast if  you get stuck

Hee Chris!

I'm not able to help you in England but maybe we can meet sometime closer to home!

Thanks for the welcome!

And fellow countryman Piet, next week I'll be in your town Nijmegen with my other wagen (car), the benenwagen (translation: walking), so you can cheer me on if you want to!

[pietschokkenbroek]

Good luck next week and enjoy!!

Enjoy the Vierdaagse Chris Hope it cools down a little for you guys

Ah, the Vierdaagse is even known on the other side of the sea? thanks and I sure hope so....

Not really, I have allot of cousins and family that have done the 4 day walk in the Nijmegen area over the years

Well a bit of a dissapointment the last two weeks, first I only finished 3 (150 km.) of the 4 days  of the vierdaagse, because my shin was all swollen, red an thick...

But also because of a problem we haven't yet solved with pressure loss in the brake system of my Bosmal, I have postponed my visit to the UK. I'm now counting on 2014!

  What only 3rd !!! That's fantastic its a tough 4 days walk especially in the heat that we have been experiencing over the last few weeks, Did you get a chance to meet Piet in Nijmegan? Sorry you cant get over in August but maybe you could join us next year at
the Retro Rides Gathering 2014. all you guys that come over from Europe to the Gathering get Free Weekend Tickets including Camping    

[pietschokkenbroek]

Hey Chris, just 150 (! !!)km...something to be proud of! 
Good luck with the brakes!

I'm sure you guys would enjoy the weekend there are usually 4 or 5 Retro Ride members that travel across from Holland so you could tag along with them, maybe we could get some of our 126 members and do a tour of the south coast and London following week, Just a suggestion

My Bosmal is ready for the trip overseas!

Woohoo!

I didn't manage to finish the car last year in time for my Holiday Engeland, so I had to postpone it...

We have booked a ferry on the 28th of june and we will be travelling along the southern shore.

Maybe I'll meet some of you over there

Not without problems:



But I loved my trip! And we did get home.
