The Camaro went to the show last weekend and if i got a dollar for every picture i could get 4 more camaro's from the us.
The car was a succes.
one thing i found so sweet.
there was a kid from about 7 or 8 years old that stood next to the car and whispered to the car " Hi Bumblebee , how are you doing"? " i pushed the horn with the remote after that.
You should have seen the look on his face after that

Here are some pictures from the camaro on 22 inch rims... it really nbeed some lowering fast..

Lol. I love it when the kids come up and talk to my Bumblebee too. Lots of fun.

Hey man, your right about lowering her but I think you really need to get the TF2 spliter. It will make the car looks insanely different

bb040 · 10-20-2012, 06:34 PM

you did a great job with this

Stunning car, can't imagine how much work that's been put into this.

Very Nice! I love this thread and I love seeing American muscle in Europe! Isn't it amazing how a gearhead is still a gearhead, no matter where they are from? I'm always impressed by these European builds. When you consider how much harder it is for them to get parts and how much more expensive they are, you realize how much more dedicated they are!

Dutch-Bumblebee · 10-21-2012, 11:13 AM

It is not the parts that are expensive. i order them from lake chevrolet in the US.
But the F#$ing taxes you have to pay here just to get a licence plate on the car. For that money i can get an extra camaro SS from the US.
If i had the car in this condition in the US i would be driving it allready.
To drive it her i will have to save around 22000 euro just to pay the taxes....
Damn Dutch goverment In Holland there are a lot of classic american muscle cars also because you dont have to pay any taxes to drive the car, import the car, and to drive on the road.
You only have to buy the car, ship it to here and get a registration.
If i ever sell the car i will be getting a classic muscle car for its place.
there is no better and more beautiful car then an american car. period.

22,000 euro! That would be like $18,000! That's just crazy! I think I paid around $1700 in taxes when I bought my SS, less than one tenth what you pay. My yearly taxes are right at $200 and my yearly registration is $25.00. These fees can vary greatly between U.S. states. Some states don't charge any yearly taxes, but most have much higher registration fees. Why no taxes on classic cars? Does the Dutch government stop charging taxes on cars after they reach a certain age? I have several classic Camaros also and they are very inexpensive to register here. I pay no yearly taxes on my 69 SS,73 Z28, and 87 IROC and only a $21.00 registration fee on each of them. And I do agree with you. There's nothing more beautiful than an American muscle car, old or new!

Wow that looks great in the 22's, I do agree that it could be lowered a bit, but even sitting the way it is in the pictures it looks amazing.

Now did they let you keep the wheels for your letting them use your camaro?

Would I be too hopeful for any updates?
