New Europa member from Europe
« on: Tuesday,September 01, 2015, 08:45:51 AM »
Hi all!  :newhere:
I'm a new member from Europe, Belgium.
Car nut and have mostly played with US cars in the past - my first 'real' car was an El Camino (hence the name). They were never imported in Europe, so that was my first big car adventure many moons ago. 
But after many years of gas guzzlers, I wanted a change of direction and about 6 years ago started looking for an Europa. Finally found one (1970 S2) end of last year and have it on the road since a month or so. Will post pictures later in the 'members cars' section.

Hmmmm, interesting coincidence. There are two Europas sitting on the docks of Long Beach California waiting to be shipped to Belgium later on this week.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
