Engine moment

Llwellyn is not a fighter. He is a poet. He has the appearance of a mildly surprised flaxen-haired gnome. He is one of those vague acquaintances that occasionally manifest themselves in someone's life. A while ago he had emailed that he was coming to the Netherlands. For field research for his latest collection. The provisional working title was “Druids, motorcycles and Caribbean girls”. The 'druids' were merely bait or an excuse for intellectuals. His own BMW R60/5
Purchasing classics there
Kate Moss, Matchless, Italy, Belstaff

Matchless is coming back ...

Matchless belongs to the group of brand names that have had more owners than machines have been made. Just now rescued from Greek hands by a bunch of Italians. The Malinotti clan wants to make Match lessons
car sleeper train, classic, travel, convenience

The AutroSleep Train

In addition to cars, the AutoSlaap Train is also suitable for taking your motorcycle or bicycle to or from your holiday destination, but you are also welcome on board without a vehicle! The destination Alessandria is also conveniently located in relation to the Côte d'Azur and from our destination Livorno (Tuscany) you have an excellent connection with the ferry to Corsica or Sardinia. From Koper in Slovenia you can easily reach Croatia
Black chrome from a spray can

Heat resistant up to 900 degrees!

Foliatec is an innovative German paint manufacturer. The company makes, among other things, a lacquer film that can simply be peeled off later. Nice if you don't want to make your classic orange forever... But their heat-resistant 2K exhaust paint suits us better. The two components are in 1 spray can, mixing is done by shaking (very) vigorously. The black chrome look that is the end result works well on exhaust parts, including manifolds.
hiker's cabin, budget, overnight stay

Between tent and hotel

And we are not talking about the Stay Okays, the former 'youth hotel', but about Trekkershutten. Those basic log cabins offer everything a traveler needs. You will find them at a select number of campsites and thus combine the ultimate traveler feeling with a comfortable place to sleep. The approach is just not very suitable for very modest classic enthusiasts. Because other camping guests soon come to have a look and a chat.
oil, lubrication, additives

For professionals

Oil additives. Books have been written about it in full and the world can roughly be divided into two parts: Believers and Unbelievers

Motor vehicle tax exemption (MRB)

Our mission: unconditionally maintain the motor vehicle tax exemption scheme (MRB) as we know it so far. The approach: trust. After all, a government must be reliable. Changing a rule repeatedly without urgent need over a period of several years does not inspire confidence among citizens.
Rik Ringers in a Facel Vega

A Facel on the cover

Rik Ringers (Ric Hochet) is a detective comic series about the eponymous main character of screenwriter André-Paul Duchâteau and draftsman Tibet (Gilbert Gascard). The core of almost all episodes is a (often supernatural) crime and the related reason for crime reporter Rik Ringers to investigate the mystery. He is assisted in this by Commissioner Baardemakers
locktite aluminum repair

Aluminum adhesives

Epoxy glues If glue is good in the aerospace and aircraft industry, then we can get away with it too. Modern (gap-filling) epoxy adhesives also make metal repairs to engine components accessible to us tinkerers and hobbyists who, when they think of Locktite, mainly think of locking fluids.
Weekers, Bulgaria

So weekers ...

The man who proudly and happily informed us in his letter, see this column from yesterday, how he had saved Classic Driving from Destruction and in the process had delivered the final blow to a lot of smaller garage owners, can be just as proud of his policy towards Bulgarian co-workers. Europeans who came to rob the treasury here. Just Google 'Weekers and Bulgarians'
