I'm meeting "volvomania" to pick up some parts for the DLS at the V3C "Ledenvergadering" near Utrecht on 7th March. Is anyone from here going too? It'd be good to have someone to interpret

What is a "Kofferbakswappen"? A car boot sale?

Tom

yep i'm present; with the 340 turbo

"kofferbakswappen" is indeed a car boot sale; but with the v3c twist that stuff doesn't need a pricetag, can also be traded or given away for free

That's great, I'm looking forward to it

Cheers

Tom

indeed; what vehicle are you bringing? the 343 gl touring ??

"Kofferbakswappen"

Love that, it gives me the image of a dodgy deal involving a back-hander in brown envelope.

Hopefully, but it depends on the weather. It's running on turkish summer tyres - which don't grip in the dry, let alone in the wet or on snow Otherwise I'll come in the GLT.

I'm having trouble translating Jeroen's answer to my e-mail Google Translator doesn't always help ...

I've really gotta learn the lingo. Most people who speak German have no problem understanding written Dutch but maybe I've got some kind of mental blockage or something

Tom
