Belgium is renowned for its chocolate, beers, and potholes. Because goodness gracious, the roads are abysmal. As soon as you cross the border from the Netherlands, it’s like hitting a minefield, zigzagging to dodge the craters. But i digress, because Belgium is also known for its plethora of car meetings. In the Netherlands, we have a few events, all organized by the same outfit. So most of the times you see the same cars over and over again.
But in Belgium, it’s a different story. Small organizations which attracts different cars and people run the events with a slew of volunteers. One such event is Heaven on Wheels. They take over a parking garage at the shopping center Cora in Anderlecht, near Brussels, transforming it into a scene straight out of the Fast and Furious films.
What sets Heaven on Wheels apart from other events is that they don’t do any pre-selection. Anyone can roll up with their car. This means there’s a wide mix of cars, but to be honest, it also means there are quite a few cars I wouldn’t normally spend 2.5 hours in the car to see.
Fortunately, there were plenty of other cars that were definitely worth the trip. Here’s a small selection I gathered from the event. I’ll be showcasing some stand out cars in a different post.
All the way from the UK was this Mercedes SL320 built by Harry Pippard, manager at Identity Wraps. This car needs a bigger spotlight, so I’ll go a bit more in depth in a seperate post.
Another stand-out car was this BMW E28 owned and built by Vincent Cornil. This will be another spotlight, so check back soon to see what makes this car special.
Taking a Subaru Forestor to the next level. Prime example that wheels maketh the car.
Thanksfor the pictures from my Forester. 😍📸
