It is very difficult for me, to let go.
I had this car longer than the love of my live.
And it was always a dream fixing her up. So now, as other people under these conditions are tearing out theRead more
Het zou zonde zijn als het nu niet lukt met alle hulp die de oude dame nu krijgt, can we do it YES we can do it, blijf geloven Loek en Nika de oude dame brengt jullie weer thuis. Groet uit Scheveningen, Herman
Zo, dat is inderdaad een monteur aan het werk. Is het niet mogelijk om zelf een pakking te maken? Of moet je die echt laten sturen? Maar zie wel dat je een heuse overall aan hebt. Succes en als we iets kunnen doen wel laten weten. Maar zie wel dat Lieske in goede handen is.

One of the main points for choosing Algeria as destination, is it's rich history of Roman sites. Tipaza, Kehmissa, Tiddis, Djemila, Timgad...
But it is closer than expected.

During the day we could get a headgasket from a newerRead more
Zij klinkt weer als vanouds. Wat een ontroerende hulp hebben jullie daar gekregen. Geweldig om te zien dat jullie weer on the move kunnen. Een paar dagen vertraging. So what?? Happy travels again and hit the road Lieske.

Today we kept it easy.
Checked out the car, as there was (is?) a inconsistant rattle in the front, after our 4x4 trail up the Théniet El Had.
I found the right wheel bearing a bit too loose, so IRead more
Traveler Wow, what a lovely and warm people🤗 we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Lieske to stay “buzzing” 🤞😘
Loek Scheepers We did not restore. We just repaired. And replaced only what was needed. Now, with bad roads, heavy climbs and hours after hours driving, things starts to fail. That was to be expected, only we hoped it would be in Europe .. ;)
