New here, living in Europe Hi guys,
I'm a new member here and the proud owner of a '95 Trans Am, which is a very rare car where I live: The Netherlands, Europe.
I'm very interested in USA-cars (former owner of a '88 Camaro and a '89 Corvette).
Will visit this forum regularly from now on.
Here are some pictures of my black beauty:

It's a funny mix of stares you get in Europe while driving these cars. Some people, especially the youngsters, love em. I had a car full of kids taking pics of my car with their cell phones last time I was driving through the Netherlands. They almost caused a wreck the way they were driving! Then you get the people that turn their noses up. Probably jealous that they are stuck driving their plain ole Audis and Beamers. Fred, where in Holland are you?

Thanks for your warm welcome, guys !
Reactions here are like Jeremy says: youngsters mostly like the car and sometimes invite me to do a burnout. Some people really stare at it when you pass them, as if it were a UFO. And other people do turn their noses up in their European cars.
I had similar reactions with my former Camaro and Corvette (which was Lingenfelter tuned in USA before it came to Europe, which made some more noise (but music in my ears).
The Trans Am is my hobby-car, my dailly driver is a Subaru WRX and people in Audi's etc. have similar reactions if I'm driving that car.
In both cases problably because they fear to be beaten.
@Jeremy: I live at the Westcoast, near Hoek van Holland / the Rotterdam harbour.
By the way, there is a big USA-meeting here in April and the Dutch F-body club will be there too. It's at the Zandvoort Circuit, so if you like a nice drive from Bitbury to Zandvoort on a sunny day....

@ Jeremy: it's on April 19th.
@ Kevin: my T/A was imported from Canada to The Netherlands when it was brandnew, that's the reason I guess.
