For prior years events Richard has sent pictures of a catered hot meal with a chef serving the food.
This year only sweets and coffee! At least you could have ordered Pizza.
What happened?
Ted.
Ted, we had a great lunch outside in a big restaurant. Much better no cleaning. After the lunch we continued our small roadster trip.

@David, I think there are about 30/35 driving roadsters in the Netherlands, but there are more who are not ready yet or known.
I think the Netherlands have the largest amount of roadsters in Europe, but that's a guess.
It was a very nice day, only the sun was missing. for me the first meeting with my own car.

Belgium 15
Germany 5
France ?
Switzerland 2?
Denmark 5
Norway 10? (you should ask Jon Ivar, he knowns most of them there)

You can look on mu website at the register for Foreign owners (mostly Europe).

There is also that 67.5 2000 for sale in Portugal as I recall. France may have Roadsters hiding there. I still want to get my hands on a French model solex aircleaner...

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am talking about the closed solex aircleaner with a snorkel...

I was in France last year. Went to a Nissan dealer and had the parts guy search all Solex air cleaner part numbers, including the French only snorkel version. Nothing, but I couldn't leave France without having tried!

Good job Datfun311! Bummer it came up dry. I really want to see one of those snorkel models. I want one just because it is so goofy.
