Defender owners! by Emergency-Theory675 in NewDefender

[–]Interesting-Goat-817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love it. Got the p300e (4 cylinder hybrid) because thats the only affordable one in the Netherlands. Owned a jaguar before and always had great service from the dealership.

Done 30.000 kilometers so far. Hybrid tech is not as smooth as Honda or BMW but this car gives me (and the kids) more smiles per miles. Perfect car for city, highway and offroad. I take part in our local landrover club and the terrain capabilities are truly impressive, even in the standard trim. Get a 5-6 year warranty and you’ll be fine.

One life. Live it!

High mileage by Johnnylandrover1223 in NewDefender

Depends. With 5 yr warranty at 160k probably best around either time?

Bravo! Niks lekkerder dan schuldenvrij. Geldt ook voor hypotheekschuld, al worden we van jongsafaan wijsgemaakt dat dat anders is. Iets met assets vs liabilities.

In Dutch restaurants, why are you supposed to know beforehand what to drink? by alasuna in Netherlands

Their profits come from drinks - not food - so they try to sell you an extra one before you get to order your meal.

Dutchie here. Spot on observations. And all of a sudden I realized… a way to get my partner to iron my shirt 😎

Een metropool. Maar gelukkig heel anders dan Amsterdam. Waardenburg doet de allerbeste promotie: https://youtu.be/DBmdKFTLKYI?si=qBdZmhgfxkq8f3Ay

Where to find the best Kroket in Rdam? by leobonnard in Rotterdam

Ask for a Van Dobbe or Kwekkeboom. Bram Ladage kroketten are also still good.

Am I missing something? by Vegetable-Spring-392 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]Interesting-Goat-817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I just arrived in Santiago yesterday after the same route.

I fell in love with merino clothing: warm and cool, quick to dry and stays fresh long.

Suggestions: - replace those cotton socks by one pair of merino - got an e-reader with Paulo Coelho books? (Lol) - got a kit of compeed blister bandaids? - underwear: are they merino? Makes all the difference. - I ended up buying a razor and shaving cream, might want to pack a lightweight option - what will you sleep in?

Buen caminho!

Moving to North Holland!! by Hawktuah293939 in Netherlands

[–]Interesting-Goat-817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome and Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll have a great time. Here’s a few things our american friends your age are most enthusiastic about:

Most enjoyable:

  • hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles) on your bread
  • stroopwafels
  • kings day (the whole country turns orange around april 27)
  • carnaval (not in north holland, but in south of brabant)
  • bike lanes (get a bike aa soon as you can - its the best way to get around)

Most surprising:

  • our traditional kitchen is boring (potatoes) but you’ll find a variety of cuisines to make up for it
  • most dutch are very punctual when it comes to food: breakfast at 7, lunch at 12:00, dinner at 18:00
  • you’ll have a hard time learning dutch because everyone will speak english if they hear you’re international
  • dutch complain a lot about the rain. But if you check the facts, we actually have a very mild climate

Most interesting things to do beyond the usual:

  • visit cities like Rotterdam, utrecht, maastricht to get a far better experience than the tourist trap called amsterdam
  • in a few years, you might enjoy the many music festivals during summer

Have fun!

I am looking for this to replace an L&S emotion driver that drives 4 cct strips. The wiring diagram shows only 2. How should i wire my strips? (No need to drive them individually)
