Out for a Cruise:If you were in Dilsen Stokkem or the surrounding area on Sunday and wanted to go out in your car, then unless you were a Buggy - forget it.
Driving Patricks car was Toon, and he manged to keep over 100 cars together perfectly for around 30Km and that is some feat


We cruised through some of the roads at the edge of the town, and it was like driving through a model village

I had a whole load of Buggies behind me

And it soon became apparent how this was to work out. As we approached a junction, Toon would wave and point to the side of the road he wanted blocking, and whichever car was behind him would park across the traffic whilst we all drove past. They would then join at the rear.

That line of buggies behind me is just getting longer and longer

We are now entering the bit of countryside between the villages

Oh WOW ! Just spotted the view in my mirror - Never seen that many Buggies


Toon waves his hand, and another car blocks the road - this is a really simple way of controlling traffic

And Buggies in front as far as you can see too

Its a really nice drive out, with everybody enjoying it

I recognise some of these Buggies too

The car in front of me is now blocking the road, meaning that the next junction is mine

And now I see how the rest of it works, as bringing up the rear is Arno. When all the cars have passed, he lets in the one blocking the road and remains at the rear. Very clever guys, I am most impressed.

And the Buggies just keep on coming

And this vehicle spells nothing but trouble. At the rear of Nigels car are what I thought to be two large LPG tanks, but I`m not so sure that the devious mind of Fiona and the swine that is Pat Masters have not turned this into a mobile water bowser. Sorry, am I being a little harsh on Mr Masters, the guy you see here with a small water pistol in his hand? Hmm . . . . .

Well, It was my turn to pull over just as that mobile water cannon drove past and Pat managed to unload what felt like several gallons of cold water square at my knackers with such a force that it shot up the leg of my shorts, around my bum and squirted halfway up my back. Pat - You are a git!
But you got me bloody good there mate - I was absolutely soaked.


Snoopys turn to pull over and let 100 Buggies go past

People drove past frantically shouting and waving -

Hazel was determined to take more pictures than Vanessa, ( but believe me, it ain`t gonna happen kid !! )


It must have looked like the Autobahns of the fifties

The tarmac had run out and we were now driving on very smooth and very dusty roads

All you could hear over the sound of 100 Buggy exhausts was the sounds of the cyclists coughing a lung up


We had created one hell of a dust storm in rural Belgium
