Sunday. Occasional sunshine.
Worth the chance to make a nice trip.

"You said Cornelis Schuytstraat."
"No I said Mech's on the Willemsparkweg."
"Yes as I found out finally."

Mech's on the corner of the
Willemsparkweg and the Cornelis Schuytstraat.

Quite early Mech's already quite busy.

Swiftly pedalling downtown.

Aston Martin DBS microsite. Nice to look at, no? Hot on the heels of Porsche with its 997 GT2 microsite, Aston Martin have launched a new DBS microsite. Aside from showing the car from a variety of angles showing off the gorgeous looks (does it have a bad angle?); they also have a short movie to watch. Microsite.

In the weekend of September 1ste Chrysler
introduces the new Jeep Patriot, a real Jeep again,
ready and qualified to drive deep into rough terrain.
Price starts at €29.230.

Not spinning smoothly anymore.

Not an Opel, or a Vauhall, but a Lotus.
Not Barclays Bank either.

Not a dog, nor a teckel, but a marten.

Volgens Max Carpedi is het een DAF Siluro. Volgens Wikipedia was de DAF Siluro een door Giovanni Michelotti ontworpen prototype op basis van een DAF 55 Coupé. De Siluro (Italiaans voor torpedo) was de eerste auto met een zogenaamde wigvorm . Deze tweezitter beschikte over een viercylinder Renault motor van 1108 cc met een Variomatic transmissie. Hij werd in maart 1968 gepresenteerd op de Autosalon van Genève. Na de dood van Michelotti in 1980 stond de auto in de tuin van diens zoon weg te rotten. Vervolgens werd hij door een Duitse handelaar opgekocht en aan het DAF museum doorverkocht. Na een restauratie die enkele jaren duurde, werd de Siluro in 2005 in Amsterdam op de AutoRAI gepresenteerd in de stand van Daf Club Nederland. Tegenwoordig is hij te bewonderen in het DAF museum en op meetings als dit weekend, zie hier onder op de foto van Lisette Huijbregts.

This photo was taken on the DAF-Weekend
in Deurne. But what car is it? A Fiore?
Lisette, who sent this photo, wasn't sure.

Shadowy, and assumedly shady Minervalaan.
The police with umpteen men and a sniffer dog came
to have a look. AT5 was also present.

The book is a drugs and crime story,
the car is science fiction.

THE DELOREAN IS BACK!
The 80's are back...with a modern twist. What the Delorean actually looked like...
If there was one car that could divert attention from a Ferrari, it would be a Delorean.
Good news, they're coming back. The new Delorean Motor Co has decided to resurrect the old bird at their small factory in Texas. The new firm was formed in 1995 and specialised in selling parts for and restoring the original Deloreans.
However, they have decided to use the parts they have (and a few new ones) to begin production again. The old 2.8 litre Renault V6 isn't reappearing and more powerful engines are on the cards. Unfortunately they have not been brave enough to release any pictures of the new look car.

What we saw in our heads.
The cars will be hand built at a rate of up to two per month. They are expected to retail at about $57,500 (£30,000 ish). Production is expected to start at the end of 2008.
Although they were poorly built, had abysmally underpowered engines, drove badly and were made of touch-and-smudge steel they shot to fame in the 'Back to the Future' series of films. And we still want one. In fact, we remember seeing a PHer with one at the Tonbridge Sunday Service? New York, NY USA.

Sunny as in memories.
