Introduction

Hello, this is me… No not the guy in front, that’s Timmy. Behind him… The yellow Beetle, that’s me! I am called Low ‘N Slow, for my lifestyle and after my main characteristics; low for my stance and slow for my speed. I started a blog in 2023 to share my adventures in the real world. Since end of 2023 I have a younger sister named Charlie, she is a VW campervan, we share this blog. Although we only go out in nice weather conditions, there is enough to share. Enjoy the reading.

How I Started

It was a strong wish for me to drive further trips, to enjoy more beautiful sceneries. After a series of events I showed Timmy that I was capable of doing more. Especially driving up the ‘Knobbel’ smoothly after receiving the yearly tune-up and a new fuel pump, I think he was a little impressed…

Adding our ages of the owner and me, we celebrate 100 years this year. Another good reason for a memorable trip of backroad driving to the south of Europe.

In this blog I keep you updated on our adventure and hopefully the many adventures that follow.

Weser Uplands

Last week I was on a trip with the technical advisor and his girlfriend, aka the owner of my nephew. I do not know how that relates but anyway, it was a trip to Germany, a spot along the river called Weser. It is a nature park about 300km east from home. It was a beautiful scenery and we had […]

Nephew staying over

This week Charlie is on a roadtrip – again, Germany I have heard, or at least it is east from here. But good news is that our nephew from Heerde is staying over on Charlies parking. Our nephew is a ’75 beetle with a very powerful engine with Porsche cooling but probably I have mentioned that already. I am a […]

A beautiful sunset

A beautiful picture taken by Britt. It was taken after a nice evening of waterskiing and wakeboarding. This does not need words.

Last leg of the trip

Today we drove the last leg of our trip, from Brussels back to home. We completed a trip of 1.628km driving in 4 different countries. We received many thumbs up, burned some fuel and lost a little oil. But the smiles per gallon of this trip are priceless. It has been a beautiful experience and some small things came up, […]

From German office to Brussels office

Today it was a road trip of 420km through three countries, it is a route that our youngest brother has driven many times. He is a young slick guy in the left lane, but I am more of the slow lane between the trucks. We started in the morning on the German Autobahn, the most part was the A3, one […]

From ‘Rue du Vin’ to ‘Weinstraße’

Yesterday was a beautiful evening with nice temperature, so a relaxed last evening. I received a lot of boxes to take back to The Netherlands, but more on that later. It was good to have everybody around and the lights gave a good vibe and it became an early night for a change. Today we packed up and started to […]

Relaxing wine region

We are having a good time in France, although in the Alsace the names of the villages are looking very German. There have been a history of battles in this region between Germany and France but since 1919 it is under French control. So far the history lesson here 😉 We started with some sunny weather on Friday and Saturday. […]

Going international

Yesterday I crossed the border for the first time with this owner to Germany. It is the country where I was born, but that I do not remember. I tried to speak my best German but they did not understood me looking at the blinking lights. I liek the German Autobahn, although I am too old to joint the young […]

Regional Family day

Finally some decent weather to go out! After a quick oil check and fuel refill I was good to go for the 70 km to the event. The event was in Santpoort next to the remains of a castle that was built in the 13th century. The trip was easy, part highway and part secondary road, good for me to […]

First Camp-out

Finally some nice weather to stretch some muscles. So off we went, together with 2 friends to test my camp capabilities. Like they were not convinced of my 40 years experience, those 50iers… The trip went to the national park the Veluwe in The Netherlands. We started relaxed on the journey, cruising about 100km to the south-east. The navigation input […]
