redwing amsterdam : memoires - good old boots

matthijs from redwing amsterdam invited me last thursday night for a drink and a special night in the redwing store in amsterdam

so i brought my buddy kees (shoe repair specialist) with me to amsterdam
and whe had a blast ,lost of nice people with the same shoe fettish and some great old pairs in the store

even a pair of boots from 1918 that looked like they where maybe 20 yrs old at the most !!

the guys from tenue de nimes and the whole crew of the redwing store where there
i had my van parked out in front of the store because its also a vintage american brand ;-)

i'm sure that you can find more and better pics than mine on the net
but it was damn cold outside and hot inside ,so my i-phone had some difficulties ........

snow !!!

i was right in my previous post
snow arrived the next day ,so i took these pics

to see how my van looks with a white rooftop ...

if they new then what we know now ........ chargers are so nice !!

fu manchu - drive

nice clip !

fu manchu - king of the road
lots of cool van's in this clip

little batavus moped with honda cb50 engine

this was my fun project and also a type of revalidation during the chemotherapy time
right before my chemo's started i decided to build this batavus MK4
the org.  SACHS engine didn't shift gears
so i looked in my shop and decided to use this honda CB50 engine that i had sitting ,waiting for me to build into my son's KTM dirtbike project (got another engine for the KTM already so ....)

its kinda the same scrambler style as i did on my BSA A65 a while back ,except its smaller !!

some more econoline vans from the net

just love this type of van ,its the best USA van ever made !!
especialy when its like mine PATINA ,don't like em much when they are completely restored
it just needs to be in great mechanical shape and all rough on the outside .....just like myself ..just kidding !

my Ford E100 econoline van from 1974

yep its winter now ,days are short and cold
weather forecasts say its gonna snow tomorrow
so ... quickly took these pics and maybe some white ones tomorrow !!
