  • His Majesty, King Willem-Alexander

    ... I have just learned that Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange will be opening "my conference" (MicroTAS 2010 - 3-7 October 2010 - Groningen, NETHERLANDS) held in Groningen, Monday October 4th at 9am. Is he interested in Spyker? I know he is an aircraft pilot. Perhaps he should arrive in a "Prince of" orange Aileron? Or in the "battle livery" Spyder #141 Let me know, ...

    I don't think I trust him in my #141
    I think WA does not like race cars. He loves skating and skiing. He is a great fan of professional sports. Is also a member of the Olympic IOC. He does have two nephews who are racing every week:

    Bernard and Pieter-Christiaan

        Bernard has an 8C. Correct letter, correct number. Just the wrong order

          I've seen Maxima driving her volvo XC90 here in Wassenaar, and Beatrix is being driven in her S80L. No sports cars belong to the part of the family close to the crown I think...

            Queen Beatrix did visit the Spyker factory in 2006 with King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan in 2006:

            There was also a that King Abdullah II bought a Spyker, but I don't know if that is true. He did get a Spyker bike when he was at the factory.

            The grandfather of Willem-Alexander (Prince Bernhard) was famour for his love for fast cars. He owned several Ferrari's for instance.

                ... no Spykers that day in Groningen, then.

                (sorry for the bad quality, we were not allowed to take photos, a friend of mine seems to be a good spy!)

                        On facebook spyker cars said an aileron with dutch livery would be on display during the boat tour of the king. I haven't seen anything, anyone else? Some images?
