Celebrating 15 years of PWC in the wet

To celebrate fifteen years of PreWarCar there was a small reception during the Concours d’Elegance at Het Loo. And when we say it was in the wet, we mean that quite literally, as it was wet outside the PreWarCar stand as well as inside. While the rain poured down, several bottles of bubbles were opened to toast Joris’ continuing effort to bring us our daily dose of both prewar and postwar stories. There were also gifts, more champagne in the form of a huge card as well as a life size bottle.
A few weeks ago we asked you what kind of memorabilia you had kept from the past 15 years. We received several pictures, from the 5 year celebration sticker still on Ruud de Pater’s LandRover to several early T-Shirts from Chris Paulsen. But only yours truly wore the very first T-Shirt, a gift at the Beaulieu Autojumble way back in 2003. Still very original and in mint condition, it reads: “Are you old enough for a PreWarCar”.
Cheerio Joris, on to the next 15 years!

Congratulation from Austria,too.
Was on the road with my 1929 Steyr and missed the Sunday edition. Try to look into prewar.com everyday and love it.
Keep the good work to another 15 years

Reg Harris, well spotted! It wasn't Joris who wrote this text, but a (semi-)retired editor ☺ However, it wasn't the drink that caused my mistake, but I do admit it was quite late in the evening.

Congratulations Joris and all at prewarcar.

Hi Joris,

I think you must have had one too many glasses of your bubbly. As I looked at the photos of your big day, I noted that your original T-shirt read "Are you YOUNG enough for a PreWarCar" not "old enough" as per your text.
Congratulations anyway. Rarely miss your daily posting. Please keep it up. At 84 years now I don't expect to see your next 15 years out. But who knows!!
