Greetings from Belgium

Hello everyone.

I've been a member of many forums on the net, but I never quite got around to joining this one

I could start introducing myself the classic way by naming what I drive and all the modifications that I've done so far, but instead, I'll let this video do the talking



Greetings from Belgium

Der Abt

That said I have a friend in your neck of the woods, Roland Mailleux an old F1 friend and long time Mac person. Any chance you guys know each other? Yeah, I know it's a big country but car guys stick together.

Again, welcome to our neck of the woods.

Thanks rich.

I'm affraid I don't know him.
There are a couple of former Belgian F1 drivers here.
Sounds to me like he lives in the French part of Belgium.
I am located closer to Brussels.
If you guys should ever meet up here, you can always let me know

It's an Eisenmann exhaust to be exact.
Different taste I guess.
Thanks for the kind words.

Welcome Der Abt from Virginia. I've made many trips to Belgium and to Brussels in particular. We miss eating mussels at "Le Sacre Moule" washed down with some of your great Trappist beer. I seem to remember that the classic Mini's have always been popular there and the new MINI seems to have caught on as well. Will give you a shout next time over. You've got a great looking Cooper with my favorite wheels. Again, welcome.
