With a Brexit at hand we (“ze Germans”) ran into some Anglo limousines while driving a tour with the local Porsche dealer. One of the Rolls-Royces had “Duchess” as it’s (Belgian) license plate. What a contrast, both in cars and public...

When your noisy and brash sports coupés rolled into the lot:

Rob is a true hero: Just sold his 993 convertible. His DD. With 410k kms on the odometer...

Woooow Thats amazing. I respect the hell out of that. 410k is a lot more than most cars ever see.

I still prefer your 3.2 though.

Totally. And I prefer the 3.2 as well, but DD’ing a Boxter GTS would be no punishment whatsoever.

Robbert owns an ‘81 930 as well btw. True hero...

I bow before his greatness.

Awesome. Those Rollses don’t look happy. Ze Germans are always getting up in their grilles. Were they out on a drive, too, or were they just sitting around like usual having tea and crumpets?

They were rolling, not driving. They probably rolled more than we did: They were all Belgians!

This 20/25 was quite impressive!

It’s no wonder they came to Holland, then. I wouldn’t want to drive one of those on Belgian roads.

Yeah, that one is really lovely. The 2 doors are so petite for an old Rolls. 20/25 is horsepower, right?

Want multiple eras?

Haha, even a Rolls would probably fall apart there! According to the owner the 20/25 is one of the best cars ever built when it comes to durability. He drove it like he stole it. Nice to see with such a prewar.

Fiscal Horsepower. 25hp would be too little with a weight of what: 2 tonnes?

Well, I guess being Belgian, that’s the Rolls to have then. I saw a Model A the other day. Not as snazzy as a Rolls-Royce, but it always cool to see a car of that era driving around.

It would be pretty damn slow, that’s for sure. I think it was 65bhp. That’s still not a lot. It was only 3700cc. It did weigh 3800lbs, I guess depending on which body was on it. I bet it still feels like a freight train when it eventually gets up to speed.
