Newbie from the Land of wooden shoes and windmills

Hi everybody,
my name is Herman from the Netherlands and I think I'm one of the older newbie's. I'm 57 and father of three kids and a wife who are all crazy about American cars. I join in on this forum because we own a '76 Olds Cutlass Brougham wich we are going to use for street and strip next year. I bought the Olds last year in England (Europe) as a roller and am collecting parts since then. I'm a dragracer since 1976 and my oldest daughter is starting with the Olds next year. One thing I hope to find out on this forum is if a Olds wich I sold in Bakersfield in 1979 still excists (try to find a picture wich I will publish later). The picture of our Olds when it was advertised before I bought it is below.
Wel so far for now.
Regards Herman

Ok, ok, we get Olds64 talking German to our friends there, and now Jamesbo to our Dutch friends. I probably missed it but I bet some members spoke Finnish to our friends in Finland. And I still have trouble understanding the guys in the next state!

Welcome to CO. That car looks kind of like a road warrior with that scoop and stripe treatment. Kind of aggressive looking. Glad to have you and your family with us now.

Welcome! Very different and cool looking Olds you have there. I keep looking at the picture of it. Any more? What kind of engine are you running?

Do it as often as you feel, besides you were making a reply in kind! No problem! I was just commenting on the fact that we are an International Site!
