Euro porsche tour part 1

bag packed leaving LAX.

 

my adventure begins 10HRS later in Amsterdam on a Friday morning

i was picked up at the airport by all round cool dude Joost Hermes in his 67 -912 

 

 a quick bit of tourist type sightseeing was the first call of duty,

not to much time to spend as this trip is a bit like the "national lampoons European vacation"

later on that afternoon we met up with The Dutch man maurice,
