Laning abroad: Netherlands II - Overijssel

[JEOH]

On last Sunday Robert / Dragonrijders lead a tour SE Zwolle/Netherlands. Here some impressions:

The essentials for the day - well observed:





The well known Mystery-SUV - the Dacia Duster:



Sun was always with us. I could hardly resist opening the soft top.
Was afraid someone might swap in the car...









Some remote areas of the netherlands are completely free of cyclists. Wondering why?













In the Netherlands, they have these roof extensions out of tax reasons















On coming trafic





The Netherlands are really "hilly"







On the way home GodZilla suffered on a lost auxiliary driving belt... It is no fun standing in the dark on the emergency lane on a German Motorway. Got a wrecker send and a rental car to get home...

Great pickies as always Ian

That Bordeaux is lovely, bet that was one seriously slobbered Jeep by the end of the day...

Roma, our Neopolitan, was the main reason I stuck a soft top on my shorty, so she could slob the cars behind then and not mine!

Whats the score with the roof on this one???


Is that factory, or has the owner added a bit to the roof...

Whats the score with the roof on this one???

Hi Greg,

these are factory built, I guess. As the regulations in the Netherlands for lower taxes (business) are different from ours (they have to put a bit more height/space in the back to make a car cheaper) you'll find a lot of these conversions. I did not make a search for the companies yet, but the cars you'll find on the market are often modified that way... Its the more common with Astra and so on.
