Sunday was a rather calm day except at Michel’s place; Toby fixed my brakelights (thanks again!) while Michel was wrestling with a SIIA gearbox.

Especially thanks to Toby, Annabel & James for making the trip and bringing some spares and to all the rest for being at our greenlaning tour (especially also Johan for sending in some nice piccies)!

Cheers!

Carl & An

Ps. We’ll surely organise this small but great:) event next year!

[bugeye]

Dieses Wochenende kommen wir mit Bugeye (109 SIIA SW) nach Deutschland (Aachen, Köln, Eifel,...) vielleicht könnten wir (andere Series-fahrer) uns irgendwo treffen für ein bisschen "greenlaning"..

Grüsse,

Carl & An

[El Silencio]

Very beautiful pictures!! I think i have found myself a new wallpaper for my desktop :D

Greetings
Oliver

[Armin Schagen]

TOLL...

Freude pur...

Danke...

Gruß, Armin

[bugeye]

Danke für die Blumen! Johan (bleuer 109 SIIA SW) hat mir einige sehr schöne Fotos gegeben (close-ups, Schwartz/Weiss).;)

Carl

[gustel]

prachtige fotos

tres jolie

[pernod]

Eine wirklich schöne Tour. Wenn ich noch in Bonn wohnen würde ...

Aber WTF is "Zebedee"?

Ciao
Pascal

[ccbm]

Eine Freude fürs Auge.
Gruß Christian

[bugeye]

Aber WTF is Zebedee?...

Voila!


As well as being a New Testament character, a Hebrew Fisherman who was husband to Salome, Zebedee was also a figure from 'The Magic Roundabout' television series, which was known in its' original French as 'Le Manege enchante'.
Zebedee was a character who had no lower limbs, instead having a coil spring to bounce himself around.
Our allergy to coil springs made him an obvious foil for our odium towards this most vile of products.

Grüsse,

Carl

Darf ich vorstellen: Zebedee

...Voila!;)

[pernod]

Ah, me voila savant. Merci

Ciao
Pascal

PS: Wanna have such a sticker!

[delSilencio]

Moie fotootjes

[pernod]

Ok, jetzt wird unübersichtlich. Wollen wir uns auf eine gemeinsame Sprache einigen?

[delSilencio]

In der Walonie spricht man fränzösisch, in Vlandern niederländisch, hier deutsch und ihr im Osten könnt dafür russisch

[dom]

... aber wir fahren doch alle englische Autos...

[dom]

... die jetzt dann in Indien hergestellt werden...

[pernod]

Und eigentlich bin ich Wahl-Rheinländer mit Verwandten in England, Frankreich, Holland und dem Breisgau den es nach Brandenburg verschlagen hat. Mein Auto wurde in England gebaut, ich habe es aus der Schweiz und es prangt ein großes "F". Ähhh wie jetzt?

[dom]

Dann würde ich mal sagen: esperanto!

Was meinst Du, Guido? Kann man die Forumsprache ändern?

Dom


zur Wahl stünde auch Volapük.

[gkuehn]

Esperanto - Na korajn salutojn! Das hab ich mal angefangen. Ist aber lange her. Ich kann fließend Französisch, Englisch, Deutsch, Schwäbisch und vor allem Serie reden. Das sollte reichen.

Grüße, Guido

[WAY TO GO]

yesssss, nice stuff!!
Keep it coming:D.

groetjes van Arend

[109S3]

Eigentlich ist mir die Sprache egal, denn wie heißt es doch so schön in der Werbung:


Wir können alles außer Hochdeutsch :D :D


Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen.

[pernod]

Do you speak serious?

Sorry, I only speak series.

Aber jetzt wirds echt OT ...
