Re: Going Dutch 2014
We might, I emphasize MIGHT, be able to book the Midland circuit in Lelystad again.
During Going Dutch 2001 we used it also!
It is a small circuit where sprints/slaloms can be held against the clock (one car at the time).
If my memory is correct Simon Benoy's Ginetta was fastest car of the day in 2001.
We are looking at Friday 23rd May or Saturday 24th May.
For those not interested we will have a nice scenic run.
We need a minimum of 15 cars at €75 (60 pounds) for the day.
The circuit is available from 10.00 to 17.00 and there will be plenty time for several runs.
A definite decisions has to be made on 15th February, so can I have your input before that date?

On the other hand, cow pattern black and white grills might be rather more fun and a lot more of a "conversation starter"
Are you up for it Baz?
Anyone else?
Effect is not the best due to open grill for better cooling!

On the continent you must have your driving license and car papers with you.
You can tape your headlamps, no need for expensive gadgets!

Re: Going Dutch 2014
We did that about 34 years ago on our 1st wedding anniversary and as one of the trips is also going that way, we're probably going to make our way up the rhs of IJsselmeer so we see a bit more of the country.ImpJimbo wrote:I think crossing the dyke is the best option.
To whet your appetite here are a few memories from Veluwe in 2011...
Safe journey everyone!
