Ogling to the Octane Scramble

Now that the SX1000 is on the road I'm all about classic car meetings these days. Latest was the Octane Scramble 3. A beautiful drive right through the heart of the Dutch bible belt to get there - on a Sunday morning with churchgoers out in force - and then the gathering itself on the serene and rather beautiful surroundings of a monastery.

I wasn't the only one who'd made it in a Mini derivative. The Birchall McCoy of Peter Ecury was parked in a corner while Hans Efde and Peter Camping had both come over in their Midases. Another great day out. The pictures are from Johan te Keurs, his full series can be found here.

And yet on another field full of classic cars! Little DAF makes Ogle looks tiny

The car behaved well with new radiator and dampers. Steering rack is next now

I really feel the need to stress once again that it does look better on pictures!

Midas Gold twins of Hans Efde and Peter Camping were there, too

Nice and well-used Birchall McCoy has to be the only one in The Netherlands?

Unfortunately I didn't see the car's owner, fellow-scribe Peter Ecury

Find the Mini derivatives to see for yourself how small they are compared to the other cars
