Speedskater Uytenhaage crashed his Donkervoort (www.donkervoort.nl) on a rainy dutch highway this week. He's now in hospital, but apparently doing well.

Have a look at the remains.... (maybe someone can post the pic in this thread? i can't seem to get it to work)

Its not so easy to go from Dutch to English as the direct translation will arrive back to front due to the structuring of the language.
You should learn some other langauges and see it aint that easy. We have a few guys on this forum who dont have English as there first language and they do very well.(hats off to jonte alez and a few others) Engels se blanke is vol kuk! Rant over


Now back to the original thread


That looks bad and hope Jochems ok
