Indeed, this confirms a theory I have: If you understand German and English, then you should be able to understand written Dutch. It's just a cross between the two!

Doesn't seem to work quite so well with spoken Dutch!

So, just how many members does the "Flemish Ferrari Friends" club have?

I just think porsches are to narrow. This makes them look to high, but thats mine opinion.
I find that porsches don't look very sporty.

of course ferraris look great and sound even better! it's the driving characteristics on "sports car roads" that i'm taking issue with. too wide to be as much fun as as 996tt. the modena is about 4 inches wider than a mercedes s500 sedan! lambo's are just as bad.

am i the only one who remembers the expression "no go showboat"?

Do you honestly think 4 inches of width really makes any difference? In REALITY if eh road is so damn narrow that 4 inches makes a difference maybe you shouldn't be driving there....

And I'll take that extra 4", because it looks better and allows for a wider track. P-cars look way to narrow IMO.

Of course it's not that extra 4" we should argue about, BUT cars are getting wider and wider (as well as longer and longer) with EVERY model change, resulting in bigger and bigger cars, whilst space gets more and more limited.

Vlaamse Ferrari vrieden ?
ken ik eigenlijk niet, hoe kan ik daar lid van worden.
Ik bezit zelf geen Ferrari

, wat ik ten sterkste betreur.
Ik zie dat jij er wel twee in je garage hebt staan, proficiat daarvoor. Als je ooit eens een passagiër zoekt, ik ben kandidaat.

Vinnih,

Ik had nochtans gelezen (ben ik vrij zeker van) dat je verschillende ferrari's had , waaronder een 512TR, en een 328, als ik mij herinner ???
En nee, wanneer je geen F hebt, dan kan je geen lid worden.

4 inches wider than the mercedes s class sedan is excessive, imo, perhaps except for garage queens that are simply admired for their good looks...

driving narrow mountain roads is more fun

Nee, hebben we niet, het zijn meestal allemaal rondritten waarbij enkele bezienswaardigheden worden bezocht, of eens een feestje, of bvb medewerking met de "nacht van exclusief", ... meer stelt dat ook niet voor, ...

groeten,
