If people want to see more vintage rides in Amsterdam, my friend who is working as a stewardess on the Thalys (international train) between Paris and Amsterdam can take more pics, as she's going there like 5 times a week!

I apologize to be so bitchy, DTC. I sure am a little bit childish. But my friend and I find it so funny to track old cars in Amsterdam. Please understand; this kind of cars is so rare in France that she's now very excited and almost made a hobby of it!

hey i'd love to have some of these vintage beauties, kudos to their owners!

sorry limu, all those pics are nice but they really don't prove your point. it only proves that some amsterdamers like vintage cars and they usually seem to take care of them quite well. they all look heaps better than some of the rotten peugeots and renaults you see on the french countryside. i believe DTC is quite right with his analysis of the french countryside.

so what, you should see some of the cars on the streets down here in south africa, you'd have a really great laugh

You're probably right about Amsterdamers' taste for vintage cars. Actually I'm not trying to proove there's a lot of rusty cars in Holland, that's not the case.

I lived in France and spent a lot of time in the French countryside and still go there frequently, as I'm relative to a French countrysider. I don't think they're living back 50 years ago, with old cars that wouldn't even respect the Dutch regulation. The way it was said is very disrespectful towards the French, I think.
Of course I can't say there's no old rides at all and I would be lying telling I never saw any.

But the first time I went to Amsterdam, I was myself surprised by the number of old cars, more than anywhere else in the western European countries I've been to, even the French countryside.

So I repeat it again, but in my own experience as someone who went in many villages in France, I rarely saw cars as old as the ones I found in Holland. And all the French people I know who went to Amsterdam, always come back satisfied, saying Amsterdam is a lovely place with friendly people; they don't speak disrespectfully about Amsterdamers.
