Nippon Classic Cars: Spring Ride 2007

Saturday the 5th, the car was washed en waxed for the summer ;-)
In the evening got the fueltank filled up for the NipponClassicCars meeting.


Today, sunday the 6th of may 1007 the anual spring ride took place.
This time we did not join the ride itself, but we were present at the meeting behind restaurant "De Goudreinet" in Veenendaal, the Netherlands.

Today 19 members had signed up to come over. Not everyone was there, but still there was a nice amount of people who actually showed up this time. Let's have a look at today's cars;

This picture was taken directly when we arrived, around 11:15 o'clock in the morning after a one hours drive towards Veenendaal.












Here are a view frontal pictures of the cars who participated today;



























































We also admired the beautifull 6-cylinder engine of Iwan Vlaar's Datsun 280 station, also known as Cedric in Japan, see this piece of art:










Here's also the inside of that C280:






Also today, finally I got a view at Wout van Aken's beautifull yellow 100A, the true datsun yellow color...







Also check out it's spotless interior, nice car!!








We also could get a picture of the engine of this red 120Y sedan, here's the car itself;







And here you can see its, how should I say...
"bling-bling" engine ;-) (please don't be offended)






At about 12:00 o'clock the springride started off so everybody got into their cars an left off.

We had a cup of coffee and spoke to another Datsun 100A owner, and his friend and son. Nice contact was made today with this peoples. We'll meet again later this year.

Then the drive back home started off, driving off the A12 towards Arnhem to get on the A50 direction Zwolle. Here's an impression of the driving;















And then, after returning home, the following question: How's the exhaust doing ? Is it grey ?
See for yourself:
Seems pretty clear to me ;-))
See you around next time.
