Hello from Oud Gastel!

Hello,


I'm Mark from Oud Gastel a small village in the south of Holland, Europe.


Just bought an '07 LT 2.4 with 72k km's. Not to many HHR's around here in the Netherlands.
(been told aprox. 200 in our country) So it's a pretty exclusive ride.


Needed a practical car because i'm a triathlete, so i can stuff my time trial bike in the back. http://www.toga-triathlon.nl/index.html
Didn't want your average stationwagon and as a us car enthousiast (had an '86 C10 Suburban once) stumbled upon this HHR at a Peugeot dealership.


Made a quick deal, no extra service or delivery stuff, just drove of with it. (i'm a mechanic myself )


Got it for 2 weeks now. So far changed the grille for a black alumnium one, put 20" American Racing Rogue wheels on and plastidipped the rear bowtie.


Future upgrades : Lowering with springs, tint front side windows, refurbish the 20" wheels (curb damage), fix swaybar bushings, install parrot bluetooth Phone kit, find and install a leather steering wheel (anybody has one to sell?), change sidelight lenses


Thanks Mark.

En Mark, ik ben blij dat mijn Nederlands is niet zo roestig als ik gedacht had, is mijn vrouw Frans zodat wij spreken Frans thuis, en mijn taak als piloot aan mij heeft afgestaan worden voor gevorderden in Nederlands, Fins, Duits, Pools, Russisch, Vlaamse en Italiaanse.
