utrecht
I wonder if anyone is interested in doing a trip to the Citromobile event, held in Utrecht Holland next year?
I went back in 2005, and if you've never been before, it's basically a giant auto-jumble just for Citroen cars.
The nice thing is, it's held over 2 days usually on the first weekend in may.
Outside in the carpark, you can usually see some of the weirdest Citroen based creations!
Last time I went, I stayed at the Karel V hotel, which is sumptuous to say the least, but expensive!
Any thoughts anyone?

Re: utrecht
Does sound very interesting! And it's not far away either (from me in the south at least). Going in convoy would be good fun

I'd love to go to Citromobile. One small problem; MORE bloody money!

Don't be going to Utrecht in 2013 as Citromobile moved to a new site at Expo Haarlemmermeer just west of Schipol airport, two years ago. A better site than the old one and just as easy to get to.

Re: utrecht
Now that's handy to know, but i think i'd still drive out to Utrecht, it is quite an amazing town. I've never seen anything like it in my life and would happily spend a lot of time there.RogerPorter wrote:Don't be going to Utrecht in 2013 as Citromobile moved to a new site at Expo Haarlemmermeer just west of Schipol airport, two years ago.
Citromobile, if i was only ever going to one more Euro meet, i think it will have Citromobile NL. I went to Euro Citro in 2006 and it was amazing, but mostly down to the Dutch. EuroCitro with even more Dutch sounds right up my street.
And i have a place to stay

In 2005 I was at 10km from Utrech in an lovely hotel near a typical canal very cheap
Another year I booked an luxury hotel just the day before in a special website and paid only 15% of the normal price
In 2005 on saturnday afternoon all the displays were empty : every thing had been sold and some sellers were going home 500 km away and back on the sunday morning to fill up their shelf
At the opening door (10.00 AM) there was many people running in and going out with leather seats in good conditions : so funny …!
This is the only place I've ever seen those sorts of thing
Development must go through simplification

Re: utrecht
It's been on my list of places to go for a few years now, I just never seem to get there! As I'm having 2nd thoughts about next years 2CV world meeting, maybe this is the one I'll get to...

Re: utrecht
I like holland that's a definate
and also for steam fans like me on Harlemmersmeer there is the biggest ever cornish steam pumping engine at Cruquius this massive engine is worth a vist
its single piston is 3.5M in diameter and runs 8x 73 inch diameter pumps
I can recommend a visit whilst over there it is awsome
