Moving to Belgium

[ChrisG]

I did not see Stella Artois mentioned yet....

Second RS2315 (Eddy Merckx) ...what about Rik Van Looy, Rik Van Steenbergen (et al)

Jacky Ickx

Wow , the two Riks.......... you must be as old as me, or read a lot of history books

When I first became aware of road racing Van Looy was the tops ( it was the Tour in 1963) he had a young protege, Ward Sels who was useful. Rik is still alive, over 80 I believe and when he retired he open a horse breeding centre (?) in Herentals.
Sorry this is way off topic.
The few times I've been to Belgium it seemed like a reasonable place!

So I now have my certificate of conformance and some other bits of paperwork - I now need to go to technical control in Belgium.

you also might want to check on the forum on www.s2power.com, the dutch/belgium S2 forum. there are quite a few guys from Belgium there who can be of help (the technical control in B can be a pita sometimes...)

Dear ujimaflip,

Are you the guy working for UCB ? A friend of mine asked me some questions about importing a UK licenced S2 to Belgium (with Porsche calipers and so on ...).

If it's the case, nice to meet you here. I was about considering to answer my friend to point you to this forum ...

Have you ever heard about Audi Heritage in Belgium ?

Anyway, welcome, and hope to see your car very soon :-)

Yes I am... Thanks for the welcome.

So - should I just take the car as is and 'see what happens' or should I at least replace the headlamps before taking my first shot? I have limited time in which to do this as the UK MOT runs out end Feb....

Headlamps

Dear ujimaflip,

Really funny to read you, as I just got an e-mail from Stavros ... :-)

To be a bit constructive, as I don't use my S2 for now, I can lend you my headlamps (DE ...) for the MOT ...

Maybe we can arrange this throw PM or at mh.bawin@gmail.com

Calipers

And as I remember MidnightBlueS2 had some fancy "AUDI" stickers to put on your porsche ones. Maybe the MOT will be less reluctant as they aren't red and porsche ...

Hurrah - passed technical control

Went to Belgian technical control today - it passed with no problem - just minor adjustment of the lights!!
Now to find good (cheap) insurance in Belgium.... Any recommendations?

Special thanks to Mashounet for lending me the lights!
