What a great event in Ghent / Belgium.
More than 80 vehicles where present, but mostly Amphi cars.
9 Ford GPA's where there.
The hole week we had sunny weather, and it was nice to meet all the
amphib owners from all over Europe.
We are more and more getting famely.
The organisers team arranged beautifull tours on water and land.
We started the sunday with a visit to a vehicle museum, and the nice thing
about this museum was that there were a lot of "Barn finds" to see.
Untouched vehicles in all states.
A watertour near Ghent along very big expensive houses with sometimes 6 robot mowers
for the grass.
There was much public in Amsterdam, but so many people as in Ghent, I never saw !
Because of the very hot temperature, several vehicles had "vapor lock" problems.
I was lucky with my GPA; no problem at all
Only two DUKW's, because the possible low water in the rivers.
But also Duttons, Amphi Rangers, Water buggy, Amphi cars, GPA's, Schwimmwagens, chinese made
and several others.
It was great to meet my friend from Brazil, Vitor Martin and his wife, a GPA owner and collector.
All and all I am looking back to a fantastic event.
Next year 2026 amphib will be held in Germany: Berlin !
2027; Great Britain "Henly on Thames" and
2028 plans are for Norway.
