This weekend was the start of the Season of European classics getting out of their hibernation. So I took the Porker to meet with some fellow Porsche-nuts to an old town build around a Fortress: Geertruidenberg. I’ve shot some pics and thought I’d share some (unedited, raw material). Jetzt geht’s los (pic heavy)!!!

After coffee we went to do a small tour in the area surrounding Geertruidenberg, the start was from within the Fortress itself.

Somehow I can’t imagine that being healthy with all those fumes but hey...

And yes: fellow classic car owners enjoyed the lovely weather so you run into others. And yes: the guy in front of me had his two German Pinchers on his back seats.

So many Porsches that day, even on the way home... Tschüss!

Nice pictures. Well at least somebody did something with the nice weather we had last weekend, I was stuck at work. What kind of Porsche do you have btw, a G-model?

Jobjoris > BvdV - The Dutch Engineer 04/12/2016 at 07:16

Thanks. The weather was amazing, working in weekends like these suck! Mine’s a Grand Prix Weiss 1987 Carrera 3.2 Coupe (the one on the 7th picture). So yes: last of the G-models.

I want a purple GT3RS so bad.

BvdV - The Dutch Engineer > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 07:28

Oh, nice, have never really been a big fan of G-models, mostly because of the safety bumpers. But yours looks nice, the contrast of the black on the white really works.

Jobjoris > TheTurbochargedSquirrel 04/12/2016 at 07:43

I’d settle for that silver “plain” GT3 in a heartbeat as well. Or that 997 Sport Classic. Or that 964 “30 Jahre”. Or that Orange GT3 RS. Or that race-ready 1975 911S. Does it show I like Porsches?

It was the car of/in my youth. White is great with those black Fuchs’s. Maybe my 2002 tii touring (work in progress) is more on your turf looking at your avatar ;-)

Best automotive butt in the world!

BvdV - The Dutch Engineer > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 09:01

1

Wow impressive, I do really like the look of 02 tourings. I surely want to see that one when it is finished! Well my ‘turf’ is kinda large, everything from quirky french cars to older german cars and about everything inbetween. Though I do have a soft spot for rotaries, BMW and Renault (only have the last one right now).

Jobjoris > BvdV - The Dutch Engineer 04/12/2016 at 09:44

1

The Touring is the one to get. I’ve documented it a bit on Oppo , been a while since the last update (verhuizing/verbouwing) though ;-)

We’re definitely on the same turf then, after the 2002 is ready a French project will be initiated (I think a Bagheera). And I’m the founding father of French Friday on LaLD ! If you’re ever bored on a regenachtige zondag some of these posts can be interesting.

BvdV - The Dutch Engineer > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 09:59

1

Wow, you’ve got my full undivided attention now, with an orange Touring with yellow Marchals. Hats off to you sir. If you ever need a hand finishing it up, let me know!

Nothing quite like a white 930 with yellow lenses.

Jobjoris > BvdV - The Dutch Engineer 04/12/2016 at 10:19

Haha, will do! Where in Dutchie-land are you?

Jobjoris > philipilihp 04/12/2016 at 10:20

Still haven’t mounted those. But... The 911 is finally home after the move so that’s not that hard to do anymore! YELLOW LENSES FTW!!!

philipilihp > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 10:22

1

Well you’d better get on it then, so you can park next to that 930 and 964 next year!

BvdV - The Dutch Engineer > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 10:25

1

In the middle of the top part of the Triangle Den Bosch - Eindhoven - Nijmegen, in a small village called Nistelrode. I remember talking about the Pal-V factory in Raamsdonksveer, so I guess you are from somewhere around Raamsdonksveer, though I could be wrong?

Jobjoris > philipilihp 04/12/2016 at 10:29

Maybe this weekend. MAYBE!

philipilihp > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 10:34

1

Do it man. You have to match the 1:64.

Jobjoris > philipilihp 04/12/2016 at 11:24

1

Oh, I’ll definitely bring your best custom ever....

Hey trouwens, ik ben eindelijk geen Porsche 911 maagd meer! Ik heb net de 996 C4S van een goede vriend gereden. Wat een wagen. Echt geweldig.

Jobjoris > BvdV - The Dutch Engineer 04/12/2016 at 14:02

1

Haha, indeed! Breda, just drive that A27 down south from there! I know Nistelrode alright, I grew up just onder de rook van Nijmegen!

Je weet wat je moet doen he... Elke generatie is een wereld van verschil, de 964 is al weer zo veel gemakkelijker dan mijn G. Het wordt gewoon tijd VdH!

philipilihp > Jobjoris 04/12/2016 at 15:40

1

Oh ja het is zeker tijd. En zodra het financieel mogelijk is, staat er een Porsche in mijn garage, het maakt me eigenlijk ook helemaal niet uit welke generatie.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/13/2016 at 01:42

1

That was a great show. Did they let that orange GT3 RS out of the truck? That thing is awesome. I love the yellow lenses on those 2 white cars, too. Your Porker looks good next to that silver fried egger.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/13/2016 at 04:56

1

Next year your mum can team up! The orange RS didn’t leave that truck, not when I was around anyway. But that’s probably my favorite. And that 964 “30 Jahre”. And that Sport Classic. So many good things...

Good spotting sir!

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/13/2016 at 14:20

1

She’d love that. Such a beautiful locale for a show. I actually should find her a Porsche meet in her area so she can see the Porker lifestyle. Is the Sport Classic the off-white one with the orange stripe? I feel like you’ve shown me pictures of that car before. Does it live in your area? I see one 924. Were they any other non-911's?

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/13/2016 at 18:08

1

There was one nearby your site last weekend if I read it all good . Nope, the Sport Classic is that Belgium one with the neo-Fuchs’s. The orange striped one I had not seen before. But made gigantic impression on me. Bonus pictures!

There was more than just 911's. The only one I didn’t spot was a 968. And the obvious 959, Carrera GT and 918's of course.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/14/2016 at 00:01

1

Oh yeah. I forgot that was going on. Some incredible cars it looks like. Too bad it didn’t happen last month when she was here.

I love the way that car looks. It’s awesome. Is it off-white, or grey? Do they call it something special?

How were the 928's?

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/14/2016 at 03:59

1

It’s light-grey. It was a US imported 911S from 1975. And they just gave it Carerra RS looks.

I’ve only seen one 928 S4. These are getting really rare, the 928s!

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/15/2016 at 01:06

1

Did you not get that 911S over there? I love what they did with it. Now I’ll have to convince my mother to get that paint job on hers.

Really? Plenty of 928's here. I think you need to rescue one of those, too, then. Save the 928's!

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/16/2016 at 06:39

1

Oh we did. Just once in a while the Euro-dollar currency rates were really good and cars are cheaper over there anyway so some of those make their way back home to Europe.

I tried to save a 928 before. Talking about money pits...

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/18/2016 at 01:06

1

Oh, right. I remember your 928 money pit. You did get to drive the Ring in it, right? I’m surprised I never dragged one home.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/18/2016 at 02:39

1

Yes, my first Ring-experience ever was in my beloved doglegged 928S. I always get excited if you want to get an odd & obscure car but better stay away from these.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/19/2016 at 14:29

1

Maybe when my ship comes in I’ll find a well sorted one. I think it was my first “favorite car,” so I should satisfy the 7 year old me if I have the means. Or, maybe I’ll put an AMC straight 6 in one. That would amuse me and horrify any 928 purists out there.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/19/2016 at 17:14

1

What about a M57TUD30 BMW 6-cylinder diesel engine in that 928 of yours. That way it’s still Teutonic. And you win some Nm’s: 400+!!!

Are there any 928 purists out there anyway? Dutch Opponaut Section38 has a 928!

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/21/2016 at 04:33

1

Well, I want to put a Pacer engine in it because they look the same. It would be a joke only I would find amusing. Maybe instead I should do a Wankel.

Maybe you can visit his if you miss yours.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/21/2016 at 08:25

1

Good call. And those AMC engines are bullet-proof, right? Then better skip on that Wankel.

I miss it. But I’ve found a far more capable replacement so it’s bearable. Section38 seems to be MIA a bit. Had awesome shots of his genormous casts.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/22/2016 at 01:39

1

Probably more bullet-proof than the Porsche engine. And the Wankel, yeah. I could call it the Nine Twenty-acer.

Why kind of ginormous casts?

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/22/2016 at 09:34

1

The V8 yes, the flat-6 can’t be beat though. Good name!!!!

All 1/18's and 1/12's. These are huge!!!

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/24/2016 at 03:09

1

That is big. Diecast? That’s like what the car companies would use to test paint.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/24/2016 at 10:59

1

Yep, diecast. I’ve only got one 1/12. Of my 3.2. Grand Prix weiss.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/25/2016 at 02:42

1

Ah, of course. How old is it? Did you get it after you had your own?

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/25/2016 at 04:02

1

I got it like 6 or 7 years ago. So after I got my own. A guy at a customer’s had a diecast webshop for a while, he got it cheap for me. These go for almost 200 euros now.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/26/2016 at 02:56

1

It must be pretty fancy then.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/26/2016 at 05:58

1

I’m planning a shoot for the 1/1, 1/12 and 1/64. But I actually might need to get a 1/18 and 1/43 before that.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/27/2016 at 02:23

1

That’s a great idea. Those can’t be hard to find. That’ll be an epic photo. You’ll just need one of these for the princess.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/27/2016 at 05:54

1

I DO NEED THAT ONE! Love that “Junior” on the side as well.

She did try an F430 once.

That one came with flappy paddles though so she didn’t want it in the end.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/28/2016 at 02:36

1

That Junior decal is awesome. It’s a pretty cool kids’ car. I would have flipped for that thing when I was little.

Flappy paddles is a nice touch, but that windshield seems problematic. How come she wasn't interested? Too Italian?

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/28/2016 at 04:56

1

Same here!

Of course she wasn’t interested. Do you see any room left for Pepe?

And she was afraid of the maintenance cost for this Italian awesomeness.

Jonee > Jobjoris 04/29/2016 at 01:21

1

Ah, of course. Poor Pepe.

She has a good head on her shoulders. Just replacing those headlights probably costs a fortune. You should see if you can find her one of these. She can work on it herself. Or, get Pepe to do the maintenance stuff. They’re dead simple.

Jobjoris > Jonee 04/29/2016 at 05:42

1

OH. MY. GOD. That thing is amazing! I NEED ONE! WHERE CAN I GET IT???

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/01/2016 at 02:20

1

As far as I can tell, they only made that one. But, this picture of it from 1997 says it’s in The Netherlands, so maybe you can find it.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/1518607…

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/01/2016 at 07:13

1

Hmmm... Cannot find much about this one. I did ran into this amazing 2CV Picasso !

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/01/2016 at 14:05

1

Ha. That’s pretty funny. Someone should really build that. Those wipers don’t look too effective. I found a kids’ one made of actual 2CV parts. Maybe you can commission one of these.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

This Iranian woody, break thing is pretty sharp, too.

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/02/2016 at 02:46

1

How hard can it be, that 2cv Picasso is the cutest MPV ever so yes: SOMEONE SHOULD BUILD IT.

A more Teutonic approach would be this:

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/02/2016 at 15:42

1

And here is the American redneck version.

The Craigslist ad would say, “professionally done! Ran when parked! Minor surface rust. No Bondo!”

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/02/2016 at 18:08

1

American Redneck? Looks African! I love the way they solved the second door problem!

American Rednecks just need a somewhat more rusty...

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/03/2016 at 00:02

1

That pickup is rednecky. It just needs to be higher and have a gun rack. This is also a little white trash. Needs an American flag.

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/03/2016 at 01:53

1

An American flag? That one needs a confederate flag! Okay, we’re doing this. You ever saw the 2CV used in the Outback?

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/04/2016 at 02:56

1

Ah, now we’re talking. What’s underneath there? It looks even more rugged than the Safari. There have been some cool ones at Dakar.

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/04/2016 at 04:45

1

No idea, probably just a Daihatsu Rocky or something. We had a lot of conversions, this is a famous one:

I probably told you about Maarten’s C-Kadett with the Opel Rekord engine. Some of his classmates (automotive school) put an Alfasud drivetrain up on front of a 2CV, that was wicked!

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/05/2016 at 00:07

1

That’s very cool. It fits in there nice and snug. Does it still power the front wheels? This is what someone had to do to get a Chevy V8 in an R4.

Wow, an Alfasud drivetrain is a great idea. That sounds hilariously fun. I guess anything fairly small and fwd would squeeze in.

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/05/2016 at 05:08

1

The V8 is a completely different chassis with RWD layout. That R4 reminds me of the Golf on a 928 platform, radical! Have to show that one to Rudi tomorrow...

The Alfasud was an excellent idea. If I remember correct it was a fairly easy built. The complete drivetrain was some sort of subframe they had to cut out and mount on the 2cv chassis. So everything was a Sud upfront: engine, transmission but stuff like suspension as well. It even was street legal which can be tough to get around here if you mount a different number of cylinders.

Jonee > Jobjoris 05/06/2016 at 02:02

1

Yeah, it reminds me of that widebody Golf, too. I’d like to see them in a race.

That does sound fairly easy up to the suspension part. How would you adapt the 2CV suspension for that, I wonder, since it goes front to back.

Jobjoris > Jonee 05/06/2016 at 06:28

1

I have no idea, it’s just something Maarten’s told me. I’ll ask him. It’s been over 15 years though.
