Spare part market in Gemert (Holland).My first trip with number 2I have visited the spare parts market in Gemert, Holland for the third time in 2012. To be able to truck home some bulky goods I could eventually get there, I had prepared my station waggon for the journey. Together with Marcos in his Hoffmann convertible and Frank at my passanger seat we startet our engines at 7:20 in the moorning. At the Autobahn exit Neuwied, Bernd in his serial-production 2CV came to our tiny, but very versatile convoy. At 12:00 we reached the target area and started to process our shopping lists. Like at every flea market, there is something entering your shopping basket which was not intended to be purchased. I found three old radios inside of it which I payed 10,-€ for. Probably I will be able to bring at least one of them back to life...Besides satisfying your pinion of collecting spare parts and spare parts and spare parts, a trip around the parking areas and doing some "fuel talks" is a reason for driving almost 600km in one day. Two Sahara models could be seen at the meeting ground and the variety of cars is a bit larger in Gemert than at other meetings. The goods Frank and I had purchased would have fit into the trunk of Marcos' "sports car", but nevertheless we were very pleased about the parts we had accumulated in my no 2. The two front fenders colored in "Bleu celeste" were not in the range of goods...
