Re: Burgundy in Wieringerwerf -NL
The army and military police use similar license plates with an identical scheme that are however not registered in the public license plate database as mentioned by Brinkie.

He has a Flame Red 480 for parts and drives a Dark Grey himself (and a DAF 66). The Dutch registered car with an elder driver -by coincidence the...

It was great to meet you all - and the cars, names and plates I seen for so long and now I've met them! I really enjoyed the convoy. If on...
