Yes Tom, I got it a couple of weeks ago, when in Germany. Strange it was a lot cheaper there ...

Great pics and altho' I have never liked Daytonas, that one looked good. The little Cobra (289) seemed to be the top car, however.

Dave,

When your in Amsterdam, check out Anne Franks house.

Also the automated underground Parking Station outside the NH Barbizon Palace near the Church of St. Nicholas. It is amazing. It cost 6 million Euro and provides for underground tower stack parking for 96 cars. The driver leaves his car in the transfer parking area, which is like a normal car port. He locks the car then punches his code into a nearby terminal. The car is then automatically lowered into the parking rack of the underground parking tower. The parking shuttle pallet which the car sits on, is then lowered into the parking tower, then automatically moves with the car into a vacant parking space. This system provides added security as no person has access into the car parking rack. A new parking pallet is then automatically installed for the next incoming car.

Another place you should check out Zaanse Schans. It is an original Dutch village a few miles out of Amsterdam where you get to see the 700 year old 'Dekat' Windmills built in 1982 and are still operating. This was the highlight of Amsterdam for us.

Watch out for the Push Bikes and keep off the marijuana which you will find growing in containers in most coffee shops.

Have a great time.


Baz
