Just sit in the middle of a football field and get someone to talk to you alternating between English and German every other word.

And stroopwafels. :p
 
The busy september season is finally over, so I've had some more time to take the dynamic duo places, went to a local forest (location) with them (and the kids, ofc). Picdump in order of shooting :)

MORE ADVENTURES!
Today, I took the cars to the museum of natural history in Maastricht (location).

On the way there, we took a short stroll over the old city walls, where the cars examined some old weaponry.

The museum has a grand entrance.

After which there is a plaster cast of the Mosasaur head that was found in a Maastricht quarry in the 18th century, and stolen by the french in 1794.

Any update to this?
 
The cars were stolen out of the package while in transit a few years ago IIRC.
 
In Switzerland, of all places.
Actually, it was delivered to the wrong address, and the recipient never returned it, or something...
 
Aww...
 
Well not all was lost, just the cars :shakefist:

The good news is Viper did get the box with the postcards after that incident.

For what it's worth, if anyone ever comes across a familiar looking model Viper from Switzerland or that general area for sale.... undo the screws on the bottom to open it up. While I had it in my possession and disassembled to clean it up I also signed the inside, so there's at least proof positive of which Viper would be this one assuming nobody else thought to open it up and clean that off. :dunno:
