Louwman Museum

My friend Seth and his family just recently finished another road trip vacation with an epic drive through Holland & Germany with his Hillman Minx. They visited the amazing Louwman Museum, if you arrive in a car older than 40 years then you can park by the front door rather than in the regular car park round the back!...
Great Job Seth!...

Vacances





Pictures sent to me by my friend Seth, he and his family went for a road trip vacation, in his famous Seth Wagon, through France last August:

Seth: "In August we went to France on our holidays again, this time into the East of the country near Strasbourg and the German border. Lots of hilly/mountainous country and the car coped really well, even towing the trailer tent over a 949m high pass on the way home. By the time we got back to London we’d done a bit over 1400 miles in the two weeks we were away."
