Purchasing classics there

MaastrichtThe man, his classic and his partner, a field of tension or a beautiful combination?

Our passion for classics is usually a 'men's thing' that may be tolerated and understood by our partners, but that is not necessarily 'the woman's'. That sometimes gives some resentment within the relationship.

Because women are just like our beloved classics: they constantly need love, care, attention and respect. Otherwise ... well; then you stand there in the rain in the rain in the evening.

Practice has shown that the 'polder model' also works well in these situations: Plan trade fair visits at least once a year in the vicinity of a city with many nice shops. The MECC in Maastricht, the fair in Antwerp. Groningen. Does not matter. Locations like that. Invest there in a few nights. And claim 1 day visit to the fair on one and a half day city visit. Your partner can then spend a day shopping and looking at shops without having to wait with your arms in front of your chest for the shopping threshold and the day together can be used comfortably to listen to each other's adventures. This concept works optimally when you go with a fellow classic enthusiast and his lady. Then the girls can shop together. While you and your comrade discuss the state of the world. On a terrace. With a glass in hand.

Ruhrgebiet
Technology that appeals to women

Classic excursions within the relationship can be sold well in the same way. It is a matter of planning a weekend at a nice, woman-friendly location and finding a pleasant route. Our own secret tip is the Ruhr region. The former 'Kohlenpott' has been transformed into a beautiful, wooded area where a great deal of industrial heritage is cherished. And because those former blast furnaces and thus have been declared a recognized cultural heritage, they are apparently, despite their purely industrial character, also highly interesting for our partners.

 

And your classic car is always on the parking lot to attract exemplary attention because it fits so nicely in the picture.

Soest, North Rhine Westphalia
This will make your partner happy

The German hospitality industry generally offers double the quality of the Dutch, and that for about half the price. A day in Essen, there's nothing wrong with that. Make the surprise extra big by booking a hotel in the center via booking.com, or go on a romantic tour in a Gasthoff in the green part of the area.

Also a nice combination: A weekend in Soest-Bad Sassendorf. Soest - pronounce 'Soohst' is a Hanseatic city, a kind of Zutphen XL. In the Prodomo hotel just outside the city wall, your classic, or if you are with the club: your classics can be stored out of sight. Within ten minutes you are in the historic city center, a place that will make your partner happy.

 

Bad Sassendorf
Relax as intended

You too. There are pleasant terraces. The next day you can visit the thermal baths in Bad Sassendorf. That is very relaxing and healthy and all that. And the best thing is that the thermal culture is deeply rooted in the German genes. For people who no longer go to the sauna in the Netherlands because they get nervous from all those pubic hairless, tanning-brown, double-tattooed, such a German sauna is a relief. There are people walking between the 16 and the - estimated - 96.

So there are ways to coach your partner so that she learns to see the classic as a vehicle that leads to fun things. To share pleasant activities. And from our own experience we report that this approach literally leads to a win-win situation. So use those ways.
