Welcome my friend. That must be a rare vehicle over there.

I am kind of a rarity over here driving one of those
Unfortunately parking is sometimes a issue due to its size, especially in old city centers

Welcome to the site

My Mothers family came here from Holland, heard it's beautiful there. I've watched a few documentaries on the unbelievable engineering marvels there to keep out flooding

[Hermans]

Thnx, for all the warm welcome's!

Almost every road here are just fine to drive, enough space. The funny thing is when driving you automatically enforce respect to other (smaller) automobiles, they will go out of the way for you

The thing is, there is also a big financial reason why these kind of vehicles are rare in NL and other parts of Europe. It all has to due to gas prices en road tax. That's also the reason why trucks like silverado's, ram's, f-150 in NL all driving on LPG and used for business purposes.
And sure, other reasons are for example that the infrastructure is not build for large vehicles, and GM has no dealership in Europe for US Chevy or US Ford
