Dutch CityBug Forum

The former owner of the Dutch Aygo Forum has announced that he will stop with the forum and he was looking for somebody to keep the forum online. I was very interested to take over the forum so I made an agreement with Rob, the former owner, that I will take over the forum. Rob did a good job in the past 1.5 year, the forum has grown to a community of almost 500 members nowadays.

In the coming weeks I will add the Dutch CityBug Forum to my collections of websites and everything will be ready before X-mas. I'm very happy with this new addition to my collection of websites. And I want to thank Rob again for everything.

More info will follow!!

The largest Czech car maker Skoda Auto plans output at over 600,000 cars this year, and expects to increase it to one million by 2010.

Hyundai's plant will launch operation and produce 200,000 units in 2009 and raise output to 300,000 in 2011.

Companies in the Czech car industry generated sales worth Kc644bn in 2006, 23 percent more than in 2005.

Output increased by more than 40 percent to a record 855,832 units.

Aygo-Forum.nl - Forum Tour Texel

On sunday the 16th of September there will be a Forum Tour Texel presented by the Dutch Aygo Forum.

Texel is the first island in the north of Holland.
First we have a little tour through the north of Holland towards Den Helder.
In Den Helder we take the ferry to the island Texel.
On Texel we have a tour around the island and after that we go back by ferry.
The whole tour will take about 7 hours.

This is the first forum tour after a couple of forum meetings.
And I think there will follow some more tours after this one.

Rob, the founder of the Dutch Aygo Forum, and I have made the tour possible.
And today we made a pre run to check the complete route.
The whole route is discribed complete with distances and things like that.

I can hardly wait till next week, I'm really looking forward to it!!

Here you see the Aygo of Rob on the boat to Texel.
