Switch your speedo for a Dakota Digital. You could switch from one to the other at the
press of a button. Plus you'll get a hole bunch of extras that come with the guage....

I'm going to be near Emmen for now.

the OL needs to learn how to speak dutch, and in that area I have most of my family, figured that would be easier for her to adapt to the dutch culture

go ahead and order the handbook to get your licsence, when I first went to Germany, I took the test, didn't study becuase I though "man I've been driving 20 years, no sweat. It was over 150 questions, naturally I failed it. had to study hard to get mine. Need to learn the signs in Holland too I would think.

I paid the money and went to fahrschule.....money extremely well spent. Best drivers course I've taken to date. I couldn't have gotten the German license without it.

150 questions? When I went to the Fahrschule in 1988, it was 40 questions, and 10 more for the motorcycle. I made it at the TUV Saarland. Any members who went and served in Rammstein, in here? I used to live 20 KM from Zweibruecken, and 50 KM from Rammstein Air Base.
