Recovered Ferrari saved from demolition: Preferably to Artis

The Ferrari that was removed from the IJ on July 9 will not be scrapped. The car is now at a scrap yard in Blokker, North Holland, but what exactly will happen with it is still unclear. The Ferrari Mondial was stolen in 1987 and was spotted 26 years later during a fire service diving drill in June. A month later the Ferrari was fished up.

'Normally it arrives as a package. And then the story actually ends, 'says Lowie Hoedt of car junkyard De Ooyevaar. Yet they did not have the heart to actually demolish the vehicle. That while this type of vehicle was not the favorite among Ferraris. 'This was kind of the ugly duckling in the family. But so many years later and after having been through so much misery, he still gets the appreciation that a Ferrari should get.
What will eventually happen to the Ferrari is still the question. The scrap yard has had a lot of contact with people who wanted a part of the car. 'For example, people wanted to buy an engine block and use it to build a coffee table,' says Hoedt. 'Or they wanted to convert the rims into a piece of decoration.' According to Hoedt, the car comes from Amsterdam and belongs there. "Big money is being offered for the car, but our wish at the moment is to get it to Artis." According to Hoedt, there are beautiful aquariums in the animal park. 'The best thing would be if he could be under water somewhere. After all, he spent 26 years there. ' And I totally agree.

In this summery Happy Hour we play music from 2005 to 2018. Oh yes and the month is August. So, very interesting to listen. A tip of the veil: Avicii and The Black Eyed Peas.

Have fun listening!

#Lief is a themed broadcast of Decennium Dick on Thursday evening March 4, 2021 ... Love is never sin, living without love is sin! That was one of the texts that was written down in chalk on the public road near the Mieras Church on Saturday. How can we find love again in Krimpen? How can we together ensure that peace is restored in our society? Where we can all live, work and live with pleasure? Living with pleasure is also one of the central points of the Youth Advisory Council of Krimpens-Belang. A group of 15 young people want to help local politicians with their ideas and will provide the Krimpens-Belang and thus actually the entire municipal council with input. Two members of the Youth Advisory Council were our guests tonight. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file .

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p...

Literary Happy Hour

After Erik's Tip, writer Marjo de Vroed sits down to tell something about herself and of course about her second book. Marjo de Vroed (1965) has lived in South Holland all her life and was a teacher at a Jenaplan school. She is married and has three grown daughters. When they were little, she regularly made up stories for them, which she brought to life with their hugs. She has loved writing since childhood. It started from group 4 with stories in the school newspaper and eventually resulted in adulthood in writing musicals for group 8 of her own school. In between, she wrote notebooks full of short stories and rhymes. And now children's books . First, of course, we have an overview of the Mega Single Top-100 and the announcement of the new LOKSCHIJF. Afterwards Ellen Bommeljé will be a guest for the item “Happy with the Bieb aan de IJssel”.
