I like to keep my cars reasonably dirty. Especially when I take them to a car show. All cars are so immaculately polished, that you can see that they are rarely driven. I like to show that a Spyker is for driving

We are lucky that you take the time to make these pictures. Keep them coming.

Can you post a map - when you can find some time - that shows all the major places your Spyker (and you ) have visited?

Amzamz,

Are you having a very long holiday or are you having a sabatical or maybe even retired? Are you planning to visit more exciting places or are you almost home again? Sorry, just curious. I hope you still have a long way to go, that way we can all continue to enjoy your excellent photographs .

Have a safe journey!

I hope Amzamz stops deliberately and not because of some malfunction

Amzamz, I really appreciate your regular sharing of photos. Thumbs up for finding good sceneries. I particularely like the panorama shots you make. Is this a default setting of your camera? Or do you edit the pics?

Cheers

Amzamz,

Your #45 has got to be the Spyker with the most kilometres of all.

And of course supercars are there to be driven.....thanks for sharing your travel pictures.

...now here is a rough map depicting the activities of #045. Note: some distances were traveled many times. Also note that the actually very exciting bits are better represented in the photo gallery.

Countries touched include: Germany (18,787km), Netherlands (1,121km), Belgium(1,320km), France (4,919km), United Kingdom (7,021km), Denmark (350km), Sweden (1,016km), Norway (2,870km), Spain (956km), Andorra (48km), Monaco (10km), Italy (406km), Switzerland (3,188km and a speeding ticket), Liechtenstein (5km), Austria (83km). A total of 42,100km so far... and no major problems... I can recommend (a) the German "autobahn" for acceleration and speed, (b) the mountain roads of Switzerland, Andorra, France etc for uphill chases and (c) the coastline of France or Italy, or the city centers of London or Barcelona for onlookers or just to promenade with your girl friend.

Europe is divided into three parts (1) too wet (the North, Centre and West), (2) too hot (the South) and (3) too risky for car theft (the East) and the three parts even overlap! I would love to get the opportunity to do Scotland, Portugal or Greece next...

Thumbs up for putting some mileage on your Spyker!!!

I wonder whether yours would qualify as the one with most mileage?? Most I've seen 4-digits. You would definately be a good contender!
