Good day sir’s and ladies!!

I figured I would compose a small introduction on Oppo and LaLD (the LaLD intro is being composed and posted a bit later), since I’ve been commenting on here for a while and plan on composing a lot more posts.

My name is Niko, I am 27 years old and I’m a car nut. I absolutely love cars, ever since I got my first toy car. Like a lot of you, I could already identify a lot of the cars on the road by the age of 10. Hell, starting high school, it was getting normal to get shouted at by the teachers for looking outside the window too much. Couldn’t help it, cars interested me a lot more than math, I guess.

As some of you might know already, I am from Holland, Europe. I am originally from Croatia (both parents are Croatian), but born and raised in The Netherlands.

I currently drive, as the name suggests, a Honda Integra dc2 Type R. Its my daily, my track toy, my long-haul trip car, my everything. Its in a great shape, needs a couple of things, has a bunch of upgrades, I love it. It does everything I need it to, and then some more.

I used to own a Miata NB, built for the track, but daily’d it also. Lovely cars, had some very bad luck with an engine swap and decided to sell it a year ago.

I plan on composing posts mostly covering adventures with the dc2 (trackdays, meetings, weird encounters etc), but I also plan on making random, weird posts (like everyone else, pretty much..:p).

Thnx for having me Oppo!!

Friendly greetings,

Niko

They had been sold in Holland through official Honda dealers, but not in Black. This one is a very early import from Belgium (you can see the period-correct license plates). Thnx for the welcome..:)

Hi there!

Its always nice to see a car nut, in a very not car friendly country.

You got the nastiest speed traps.

Ah I see, didn’t know that. I indeed noticed the period correct plate, so that got me confused.

Meh, the speed traps I can deal with. That’s what cruise control is for. It’s the car related tax that kills a lot of the fun. Ownership tax (costs me >€200/month), very expensive fuel (mostly tax) and a draconian CO2 based tax on new or newly imported cars.

Welcome! A black Inegra in the Netherlands, that’s a first? Wanneer gaan “we” weer naar Adenau?

Welcome! I’ve always wanted to come to the Netherlands. I was going to drive through there during a Germany trip last year but decided it was too much driving for one trip. One day!

Welcome! There’s a invasion of Dutchies here lately, which is a good thing I guess. In what part of the country do you live?

Hello!

Awesome car you have there, I like Hondas like those when they’re closer to stock.

Adenau wordt weer over een paar maanden, in de zomer wss. De Integra heeft wat dingetjes die gedaan moeten worden voordat ik de track weer op kan. Ik denk dat de eerstvolgende of Zolder of Assen wordt tho, dat is iets toegankelijker..:)

I figured that when I first saw your screenname...:P

Qua afstand zeker toegankelijker. Om er daadwerkelijk op te komen niet, te beperkt. Hou ons op de hoogte, voor Zolder lig ik waarschijnlijk op de route voor je, dan kan ik wel ‘s aanhaken ;-)

Mjah, op Zolder hebben ze van die ‘Event Days’ van Skylimit Events, als het goed is, is iedereen welkom. Ik heb eens met mijn mx gereden, samen met Sachers en Evora’s op de baan...interesante dag, dat wel..:P...

Ik laat het je zeker weten. Anders ff FB/e-mail contact uitwisselen?

Too bad. Many westerners/southerners here. I live in Groningen (city).
