The biggest gathering of Euro miatanetters ever. On this occasion we were joined by Skip Cannon.The Colorado Grizzly delighted a lot of us by bringing over his brand new Canon rear subfrmae brace.

Among the
delights of the day was crossing small streams with these open
Dutch ferries. Each ferry only held about 6 cars. The car with
the chrome stylebar is Allan's Little Red Rooster, the Black car
with the orange stripes is Frank's Bibi and way down front, right
you can see Werner's Brua. The ride was smooth and happily very
short.
In order to get on the ferry you had to drice down a small wooden slope. The angle was just too steep for Werner's Miata. Thanx to his lowering springs his front airdam scraped the ground. Much to our amusement Werner had no option than to drive backwards to get on the ferry. Lucky for him his wife Petra prooved a good navigator. Never seen Werner sweat so much
Frank Mom and Nico van Steen were
captured by Skip Cannon. Sadly, Skip didn't have a scanner for
the original. So he used his trusty digital camera to take a
photo of a snapshot. Not bad, considering.
