Well Henk, its what made America great, capitalism at its best. That and the American man's obsession for power tools

Just had a text from a friend of mine who spotted two Datsun roadsters near Sisters, Oregon which stated "...must be hard core-- they had the tops down and it looks like rain!" -- My reply-- "Red and Sora Blue? Yep-- friends of mine-- they're crazy-- you don't even know!"

Hope Richard is having a good time...

Last day of the 2016 Solvang tour.

14 Days
3400 miles.
No mechanical problems
No tops up.
Beautiful weather with only 2 cloudy days and only about 3 hrs of rain/hail.

A BIG THANKS to those we visited. Their great hospitality was much appreciated.
The Dutch Roadster Tourists had a wonderful time and plan to return for the 30th Solvang show in 2017.
I already have a room reserved at Svendsgaards.

Ted.


Horse Heaven Hills area East of Goldendale. A Perfect roadster driving area.






Strange Dutch custom. Kissing the roadster in thanks for a trouble free drive.

I just heard the plane has landed. My lady is back. Ted thanks for taking care of her and giving her a great time on her first trip to the states.

Will there be a 30th Solvang? Has anyone stepped up to takeover running the show for 2017?

There will be a show in 2017.
Harlan Katz (2016 winner of first place in low windshield modified) is the new coordinator of the army of Solvang!

Great news! The tradition continues just in time for a Jubilee celebration of 30 years!!

What a great tour Ted! So glad to see and hear that all went well with no unexpected delays. Even the weather cooperated, and that's saying a lot around the northwest this time of year.

Regarding the car kissing, I do a similar "thank you" to my car when we return home safe... But I usually just pat her on the fender...

Great to see you guys. Thanks for stopping by the Gorge. I really like the picture of the pure joy on Richard's face as he is about to dig into the steak. I propose a Tulip Tour in Holland next year.
