On September 17th a group of 12 NB's got together to drive the 11 citytour in the province of Friesland, in the north of the country.
This tour is normally done in wintertime on iceskates :D

Here are some random pictures.
Many more can be found on the Dutch New Beetle forum.

And of course a hick-up in the plan, someone left the keys in the car. Good thing, an NB is hard to get open :D

The local VW dealer offered us some original "Oranjekoek", which is typical from the province of Friesland. It was yummy!!

A view while touring, the countryside of Friesland is beautiful (didn't really know that) :o


All pictures are taken by Der Spieder from Germany.

we may have the same clothes, but we could never put an outfit together like europeans do. seems that americans lack the creativity when it comes to tasteful and posh clothing.

awesome pics of all the new beetles, by the way!

It is really fun seeing pictures from groups outside of the USA. The internet is such a cool thing.

The NB Camino is really cool looking, who owns it, and are there more pictures of it?

I am not sure what MentalVdub is talking about with your clothing. You look fairly normal to me. The only main difference that I see, is that at NB gathering most of the people would be a bit more casual, wearing jeans or shorts, and t-shirts.

Saturday we almost all wore jeans anyway!
I didn't think we look that different anyway (I'm the one in the skirt with the poncho and boots by the way ;) )
