Holland reporting
Hi all,
Just joined this forum as a member, after browsing it as a visitor for several months.
My name is Gert, I'm 51 years old and I live in The Netherlands (aka Holland). Ik work as a paramedic at the EMS.
I've always been a big fan of US-muscle cars and I drove several ones, like a Vette and a Trans Am.
Since February 2016 I'm the proud owner of a sapphire silver blue '04 XF coupe Limited Edition with very low milage and in perfect condition!
It took me quite a while to find this beauty.
There's a lot of crap on the market over here, so filtering before buying was essential and that took some time...
I simply LOVE my ride! Although it was build at Karmann in Germany (our direct neighbours) you don't spot them a lot in Europe, so that makes it a very special and rare car on the European roads.
Every day people stop and stare and ask me: "Nice wheels man, but WHAT IS IT ??"
I'm looking forward to read much more about this legend-on-wheels!

Thnx Gordymc!
Love your Roadster too.
And yep, that looking back is something that sounds very familiar to me!

Re: Holland reporting
Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
Already feeling at home right now... ;-)
@ Jim: A Dutch chapter, yeah, why not?
Do we also get these slick leather jackets with a logo and everything?
