 Surely you have read on these pages that Joris Bergsma, our former editor, planned to organize a Sunday get-together, a small event eligible only for pre-war cars and their drivers. The event was held last Sunday at the Hotel Belvédère in the picturesque town of Schoonhoven in The Netherlands. An amazing crowd of almost twenty pre-wars turned up, most probably helped by the unexpectedly sunny weather, as the day before the temperature was not much above zero degrees Celsius. Apart from driving to and from, it was a static event, yet the participants had much to talk about at lunchtime. There was a prize for the driver who had driven the most miles to Schoonhoven. It was awarded to Hubert Kranz, who came all the way in his Alvis from Straelen in Germany, a mere 150 kilometers (100 miles). Yet we feel the next time there should also be an award for the driver with the least miles, as one driver needed just six kilometers (four miles), as he only had to cross the river by ferry! There are already plans for the next Drivers Lunch, probably in April. Of course, we will inform you in time on these pages. Text and photos: Rutger Booy |
