Dutch Ariel Rally 2022
Posted: Mon May 09, 2022 11:37 pm
On my way to the Dutch rally I passed the 'Woeste Hoeve' memorial.
see this for more info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woeste_Hoeve
Later I payed a visit to 'Gallery Aaldering' a -mainly- classic car dealer.
a rather posh joint filled with some very luxerious cars and a few motorcycles.
Nice appelpie and good coffee though.
Frequented by grown up boys (40+) in shirts that fitted them ten years ago
Over 500K buys you this Alfa, it says Alfa on the grille but has a Ferrari sticker on the bonnet, wishfull thinking ? (never buy a red car!)
Diesel engined street racer made by Star Twin Motorcycles, a one off.https://thekneeslider.com/thunder-star- ... star-twin/

last crated up Norton in the world ?
a few rally pictures ..
New format to the Concours de Elegance.
owners where invited to tell about their Ariel.
like; how did they became Ariel rider, inhereted or bought (or given!) ,
if restored, did they do it themselves or farmed work out, speciality of the model or special features where all of interest to the crowd.
After every one who wanted had told their story points could be given for the Ariels.
I like it! much more interesting to hear all the storys compared to just throw in your vote!
visit to the former DRU foundry, now a tourist ehhhhh attraction .
