Suzuki Club outing on April 1st.

Dear members, this is also part of it.

Never happened to me before, but due to really too few responses, from only 4 members, we are not going to rent half the pancake house in Lage Vuursche.

So I hereby let you know that the outing of the SCGXF will NOT CONTINUE on April 1!

We are now going to look at something else and in any case the members meeting which fortunately is (always) well attended, we will keep you informed.

Greetings, Jan, Petra, Richard and Ingrid

News about the Coupéés!

Dear members,

Long time no see! It's been a while since we met in Mill, where I mainly succumbed to the piglets when the other members were busy with seals and sinchrome rings(?). It was very nice to meet you again. Jan Schilstra had done his best to conjure up a beautiful key ring from the top hat for all members. An impressively beautiful gift. If you haven't been to the members' meeting, don't forget to contact us at the next meeting and you will still get it. See next to this!

We also brainstormed about the next “outing” and when we will meet again. Put it on the agenda! The weekend of May 20-21 we will hold our members' meeting, with or without an overnight stay for those who want to. I'm going to contact Marco & Francis, Sef and Dennis (they don't know that yet, but I'm going to do it (wink)), to come up with something in their region. Petra's proposal in Leiden turns out to be unfeasible because of the inability to display the Coupéés. (no parking possibility). I'll keep you up to date.

Second Thing: We also want a nice "outing" but that is still subject to reservation. April 1, 2023 seemed like a great date for that, and Petra and Ingrid are going to look into it.

We also talked about collecting the contribution: You will receive this week (sorry..... we're late again) but we promise to make it right. For example, just before the members' meeting, then that is immediately a nice reminder.

I think I updated you again. It remains for me to wish you a wonderful December. Stay healthy, be careful with your Coupé, and finally, happy holidays and a prosperous 2023.

Kind regards, also on behalf of Jan, Richard and Petra,

Ingrid Stroosnijder

EMWalhalla - Trip for the outcasts.

Dear members,

It's a bit short notice but we didn't want to keep this from you. Partly due to Sef Pesser, who reported it and will probably also go there. Which of our members will accompany him?

Newsletter & members meeting

Dear members,

How we missed each other!! No meetings for two years, no outings, no rides. I even received a few reactions on the site whether we are still doing anything at all... And if we still exist... What do you think?!!

But..... We are all ready to meet again and look at each other's cars. Now the great news: Most “old” members know that I started this club in June 1990 because I thought I had the nicest, most beautiful Coupé in the Netherlands! I wanted to take up the challenge and called on everyone to come to my school in Amsterdam with a Suzuki Coupe GX and thus initiate the official opening meeting. There were as many as one hundred and eleven! Coupé's approached and the club was a fact. On to the Chamber of Commerce and we are a real association! So at that time I had my Tennessee Blue Coupe called “Ork”. But now Ork is back in the Netherlands after years of standing in storage and wandering through Germany. I hope to be able to show you Ork again soon, he is in safe hands with Mister Gorissen from Sittard.

Welcome!
We also welcome Hilde Bruinenberg, Albert Antema, Richard Verkerk, Garage Spangers, Sytze de Vries, Marcel Romijn, Tini Kivits, Marc de Vree, Dennis Beerens, Nellie & Tonnie Neelen, Jan Essers, Jasper Bunnik, Bert-Jan van den Broek and Harry Gorissen. These all joined at the time of the Covid misery.

Then now: What are we going to do then?

Just make a note:

On Saturday, February 13, 2022
We will have our annual “party” the members meeting this year in Logement de Valkhoeve in Mill
(of all places..)
Valkweg 11
5451PX Mill
0486-431224
(http://www.devalkhoevemill.nl/)



Arrival from 10:00 AM. You will be welcomed with a mug (= two cups!) of coffee or tea with your choice of apple pie or a slice of cake. (If you look at me very sweetly, I can also add a dollop of whipped cream..). We then go to the rented visitor's room where we meet and chat until 12:00. A delicious lunch is served afterwards. Thanks to Richard for this tip so that we managed to get a beautiful spot again.

Because there is always the opportunity to spend the night before or after, that is also possible this year. It's not a big hotel so be aware, first come, first served. Check the site for further details but I have taken everything in the reservation for us. (Obviously at your own expense) There are 2 double rooms, 1 apartment for 4 people and a family room for 4 people, but this can also be used as a double room. There is no obligation to spend the night here, you can of course also look for something yourself, or drive back home. (FYI: John and I will stay overnight).

What we will do AFTER the meeting is still a bit of a question... I suspect that Richard knows a nice route in his home port ... But otherwise there really is plenty to do in the area. There is even a zoo I saw ... And for the people who stay, we can also eat out in the evening in the area, we'll see...

Just to be clear: The above outing/meeting/lunch is ONLY for (family) MEMBERS of the Suzuki Coupe GX Fanclub. Any children and/or guests brought along cannot attend the meeting, but if you register in advance, you can enjoy a nice lunch and a cup of coffee at the cost of 20 euros. Preferably to be paid in advance.

It remains for me to meet you again in large numbers, it will always remain very special for me, this year 32 years ago (!) that I started this strange club together with Janny Coens. And in June 1990 I walked to the Chamber of Commerce...

Please email me if you are coming or not? (and by how much)?
And as far as making use for the overnight stay at the Valkhoeve itself is concerned, please inform us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, it is only a small hotel!

It remains for me to thank you for the unwavering trust, and hope to welcome you in Mill

Greetings, also on behalf of Richard and Petra and Jan,

Ingrid Stroosnijder.

Oh PS still... In the past, due to changes in the board, we always had the strangest moments to collect the contribution, sometimes in November when the year was almost over. We have now promised improvement. again at the beginning of the year. You can receive your bill for 2022 this week, and despite all the Covid inflations, we keep it tidy! The advantage is that I can give the members their pass at the members' meeting and that saves a lot of postage costs. Just this: If yes after October 1, 2021, you have already paid for 2022. If there are any questions or ambiguities, do not hesitate to contact us! The new, entire 4-person board will introduce itself to you.
See you Saturday the 21st!.

If you receive this e-mail and you are no longer a member of our club, would you like to let us know?
I would have liked to have asked the other way around, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way...

The best wishes for 2021

Dear members,
it's time again for a little message from your chairman.

We too have closed the crazy year 2020 and I can't remember thinking “I'm so glad that this ..... year is over”. During this sad corona time I sent you a Christmas card, hopefully I could give a little more support.

The payments for the memberships are, except 5, in so that is another hammer piece. I admit, it is always “mustard after the meal” with us, we know ..... But there is no board member who is elderly behind the geraniums and before we realize it the year is over again ..... I hope, and will remind Petra, that we are a little earlier this year with the 2021 collection fee .....

As you know, my spouse has a hair salon and long live the reading folder, I came across this very nice article by Johan Schoenmaker. Such a nice piece about our grandmother, the Suzuki Fronte, I do not want to take that away from you. I got the number personally, I will send it to Ruud, who will scan it and then you can all enjoy it.

Be very careful, we are not there yet, and as soon as we get some air again I will find and book a cozy get-together again.

If you have a good, affordable tip with a meeting option and the possibility to stay overnight, I am recommended.

Greetings for now,

Ingrid Stroosnijder.

Parts - Suzuki Coupé GX

Good day dear Members,

Here is a short piece of the technical service.
As of this week, all parts available through the club are on the site.
This way you have a good overview of everything that is still in stock.
They are at the bottom of the menu: Onderdelen - Parts - Teile
I will try to expand it as much as possible and keep it up to date together with the website administrator.

Various articles supplied by Jan Schilstra are also listed here: Mat set and hoses.

So if you are looking for articles within our club, feel free to take a look.

Suzuki Classics Ride October 4, 2020

Have you made it through the Corona crisis so far?

It's been a bit of a boring year in terms of vintage car events and rides. Most rides have been cancelled or are going in very slimmed-down form and are still going on at 1.5 metres away.

The postponed annual meeting of the Suzuki GX Coupé club will be held on 10 October. I offered to turn off a ride for the club because it's almost on my birthplace. With TOPO GPS I have completely Corona proof from the bank a ride, but of course it has to be re-run because you never know if a stray Tour de France stage will show up for you. Then I thought, maybe there's someone who wants to ride with you!

On Sunday, October 4th I want to ride the ride. I want to start at 11:00 in Stieltjeskanaal at the Stieltjeshoeve. This is near Coevorden. The length of the ride is almost 80 km. If you come to Stieltjeskanaal along Zwolle, you are welcome for a cup of coffee. From 10:00 we leave from Zwolle to Stieltjeskanaal. Obviously via a nice inner route.

For people who come from far it is possible to stay on the Stieltjeshoeve in a furnished tent (with heating).

If you'd like to ride along please let us know before October 1st, then I can reserve the Stieltjeshoeve.

This spring we had a technical day at Arjan and Leo. In fact, we wanted to organize another technical day this autumn. Unfortunately, arjan and Leo can't do that anymore. That is why I would like to know if there is still a need for a technical day this autumn. If there is interest, I will look for an alternative location, or maybe you will know a location for a technical day?

You can email me at jschoenmaker(at)home.nl. You can also call me on +31 6 13875563.

See you on October 4th!

Suzuki Coupé GX Fanclub Members Meeting

I hope you've all been in good health through the summer.

We have had to call off the members' meeting, like almost all outings, organisations, fairs, holidays, you name it. A big sad thing.

To do 'nothing' anymore, I don't really like it. So, after visiting some locations, I decided to let the members' meeting 'just-100% corona proof'.

So if you want to meet again in person, you can !!


WHEN?
The meeting will be held on Saturday 10 October 2020. Start from 10 am. Start meeting 11:00 a.m.


WHERE?
In the town of Stieltjeskanaal (near Coevorden) Camping/Bistro Stieltjeskanaal. Check the website to see if it looks like you, (https://www.stieltjeshoeve.nl/). This time not in the middle of the country, but now for our northern members once for no 100 plus kilometers drive.


WHY THERE?
Charmed by peace and space, the latter is important to us for corona. Spacious parking spaces! The area is a former golf course which has gone bankrupt and these people have started a livery stable, bistro and a camping site. Very nice. It doesn't have the looks of a campsite at all.


We keep the meeting in the bistro with a snack and then a delicious lunch, which you are used to from us.

Then, if you want, you can visit the town of Coevorden, very nice, we can think of another ride, we can do anything. You can stay in a safari tent (with heating), or you can bring your own tent, caravan or camper. Anything is possible, it is en that week after autumn holiday (for northern Netherlands)

For members, of course, this meeting costs nothing, for non-members/ introducees only pay lunch. (Some had already paid that remains natural! Don't want it anymore, let me know, I'll dump it back!)

An urgent request for my 'administration': Tell me if you're coming or not. Also whether you only come or want to stay the day.

If it turns out that you are still receiving this email and you are no longer a member at all, please let me know.

Hopefully enough information for now, love and greetings.

Suzuki LJ80 Meeting Hurdagarijp

In the weekend of 6 and 7 June, Pieter Visser will organize another LJ80 meeting with Eljee Holland. All types of classic Suzuki are welcome. The event will probably be organized this time at a campsite near Hurdegarijp / Leeuwarden and we can spend the night at the campsite. For those who do not want to play in the mud with their Suzuki, a nice tour will be set up.

For more details you can keep an eye on the site (www.eljeeholland.com) or send an email to Pieter (eljeeholland@gmail.com).

It seems very nice to me to go there again with a group of Suzuki Classics, just like previous LJ80 hits and make it a nice camping weekend. Who is in?

I promised to forward the link of Japan Classic Sunday in Gemert on July 7, 2019, which would be nice if a number of Coupé members could show their pride there and see what beautiful things are on display.

Frisian Eleven Cities Tour, Leeuwarden, June 10, 2019

Hello everyone,





I had already written something about it in previous years and now this is the case again; The Frisian car and motorcycle elfstedentocht is coming again and the registration has already started. Since only a limited number of cars and trikes are allowed to participate, it is important to take action as soon as possible.

What is the Frisian eleven cities tour?
Every year, on Whit Monday, the Friesche Motorclub organizes the Elfstedentocht for motorcycles, trikes, cars and Solex riders. The Elfstedentocht is a tour of approximately 240 kilometers through the beautiful Frisian countryside. About 3000 motorcycles and about 100 cars and trikes ride in this spectacle. The tour is professionally plotted and it is always a very pleasant event. On the side in villages and cities people are watching and enjoying.
Last year I participated in the Coupé and the reactions were great !!

It would be nice if we would participate with a lot of Coupés this year, but if you do not have a Coupé but you do have a Cappacino or another oldtimer, register !!

You can register on the site of the 'Friesche Motor Club'.
Take the link "KLIK HIER to register directly" and follow the directions, also mention that you are at the Suzuki Coupé GX Fan Club, there is a chance that the club will be rewarded. It costs 15 euros to register, after the ride you will receive a nice reminder. Do you want to join ?? register as soon as possible because full = full.

See my Facebook post.

You can register for the joint outward / return journey with us via info@suzukiklassiekers.nl You must register with the museum for the event itself.
This can be done via the link: https://ps-speicher.de/kleinwagentreffen.php). Diana Solodun, one of the museum's volunteers, is arranging registrations this year.

April 28 - Biesbosch Ride

Bram and Ingrid Poot have set out a nice ride through the Biesbosch for Suzuki Classics. The ride will be approximately 90 kilometers and will lead us on beautiful roads around Dussen.

As it stands now, the start will be in Van der Valk in Dordrecht. From there we dive into the Biesbosch and the polders behind it via a ferry (€ 3.30 for car + 2 persons). Lunch is planned in Dussen and there is a stop in Heusden for which we want to make time for a walk, ... and there is an ice cream parlor in Heusden, promises to be open on Sundays ;-). The last part takes us over a dike along the Afgedamde Maas to the end point.

We want to ride the ride on April 28, the day after King's Day.

The ride is open to all classic Suzuki's. Please register with Bram and Ingrid at cappuccino@ziggo.nl

March 17 - Suzuki Technical Day in Mastenbroek

Dear Suzuki drivers,

On March 17, all classic Suzuki riders will be invited to Leo and Arjan for a technical day.
What they will cover on this day depends on you. So if you sign up, please indicate what you would like to know more about or tinker with and, if possible, bring the tedious object yourself.
You are welcome from 10:00 am and you are welcomed with coffee or tea.
At noon we provide a pleasant lunch with the cooperation of Leo and Arjan's chickens.
There is a bridge on the part so we can admire the cars we brought with us from all sides.
You can sign up via the mail from Leo: piepbeest69@gmail.com.
Then add what you would like to treat or have treated and immediately indicate whether you need help with the necessary parts.

The idea is to also organize a technical / key day in the autumn. Who opens his / her workplace to this?

Until March 17: Give up quickly because it is already in 5 weeks.

Suzuki Treffen bij NIMAG in Vianen, 12 augustus 2018

Beste Suzuki rijders,

Nog even een herinnering.

On August 12 we want to meet at NIMAG in Vianen and ride a Suzuki Classics ride. At the moment we have no less than 5 Suzuki Fronte's participating, 2 Cappuccinos and a Suzuki SC100GX. Unfortunately, this number is still too few to ask the people of NIMAG to come to work on Sundays. Therefore, another call! If you have the opportunity and would you like to come, please send an email to info@suzukiklassiers.nl to register or directly to me via jschoenmaker@home.nl. Reacties graag voor 15 juli!

If the number of participants remains limited, the event will not be canceled but moved to Mastenbroek. In that case Leo and Arjan invite us to come to their farm. We can possibly spend the night there / camp and BBQ there on Saturday evening.

If you have any questions, please send an email.

Suzuki Treffen at NIMAG in Vianen, August 12, 2018

Hallo allemaal,

On August 12, we want to celebrate that it is exactly 50 years ago that Stirling Moss and Mitsuo Itoh drove 2 Suzuki Fornte's from Milan to Naples.
We will therefore hold a meeting at Nimag in Vianen where all types of classic Suzuki are welcome, but where the Fronte will be in the spotlight.
On this day we try to get at least 5 Fronte's together, which is unique for a car of which there are only about 15 in the Netherlands.

The exact program has yet to be drawn up but will probably consist of a reception at NIMAG with coffee and tea, viewing the showroom and workshop, presentation about NIMAG and film of the 1968 ride.
After lunch there will be a tour of the area.
We would like to know how many people will participate in the ride because NIMAG employees have to come to the business especially on Sundays.
So register as soon as possible at info@suzukiklassiekers.nl.

Registration is possible until Sunday 15 July at the latest.

Frisian Eleven Cities Tour, Leeuwarden

Hello all,

Last year I had already written something about it and now this is again the order; The friese car and motor elfstedentocht comes back and the registration has already started again. Since only a limited number of car ' s and trikes are allowed to participate, it is important to take action as quickly as possible.
What is the Frisian Eleven Cities tour?
Every year, on Whit Monday, the Friesche Motorclub organizes the Elfstedentocht for motorcycles, trikes, cars ' s and Solex riders. The Elfstedentocht is a tour of about 240 kilometers through the beautiful Frisian country.
In this spectacle about 3000 motorbikes and some 100 cars and trikes. The tour is professional and it is always a very pleasant event. Along side in villages and cities people are watching and enjoying.
Last year I participated with 2 Coupe ' s and the reactions were great !!
It would be nice if we would participate with a lot of Coupe ' s this year, but you do not have a Coupe but you do have a Cappacino or another oltimer !!
You can register on the site of the 'Friesche Motor Club'.
Go to the Elfstedentocht 2018 and follow the instructions, also mention that you are at the Suzuki sc 100 gx fan club. there is a chance that the club will be rewarded.
It costs 15 euro registration, after the ride you will receive a nice memory.
Do you want to join ?? Register as soon as possible because full = full.

See Facebook appeal from Jan Schilstra.

Greetings,

Ingrid Stroosnijder

Last month we had the opportunity to drive a few days with an SC100 for one of our so-called ‘old and new‘ stories. When creating the article and the accompanying video, I've had a lot on the website of your club; That's why I found that a name listing in the message is appropriate.

Hi Ingrid and Suzuki GX fan club members,

In the newsletter is asked if there are members who wish to organise a ride. I would therefore like to highlight the rides we have planned this year for owners of a classic Suzuki.

In February this year, we started with our website SuzukiKlassiekers.nl. This website is a register of classic Suzuki cars like the Suzuki Fronte, the Cappuccino, the SC-100GX and the Suzuki LJ80. For owners of a classic Suzuki car we have already several trips planned this year. The first ride is a ride on May 28, from Zwolle to Triemen which we will paid a visit to the LJ80 event that there will be held and in the the evening we are allowed to join with the BBQ.

On 4 september, we want as Suzuki Classics jointly participate on the Japan Classic Day at the oldtimer museum in Boxtel.

All members of the Suzuki GX Fanclub are cordially invited to come along to do with these rides. More information is available on the website www.suzukiklassiekers.nl in the section "evenementen algemeen".

With best regards,

Johan Schoenmaker

Dear members, friends,

Saddened I give as President of the SCGXF by that last Wednesday has died after a courageous suffering our dear Aad Kortrijk. Mrs Kortrijk was already from its creation to a member of our Association and fulfilled the task in recent years as Treasurer.

With her just so enthusiastic husband's Dick, she was always faithful to all of our outings, tours and meetings. She was always proud of the fact that they are still one of the few was that her car itself as first owner had bought and therefore so all from 1981 with driving around here..

We will miss her sweet passionate presence seriously and wish her relatives all strength to bear this loss.

Goodby dear Aad, thank you so much for all your efforts with the club.

I'm going to miss you very much!

Ingrid Stroosnijder

IMPORTANT

Dear members, friends,

“Just a quick” because I have the actually very busy and in school maarrrrrrr time flies, and no, I'm not forget it! We exist in June 25 years. Well.. "We"..? Of my old guard is still very little about it.. but 25 years 25 years so read as fast through and review or your "my ferocious plan" like.. Respond quickly and honestly say or what seems..

WHAT is my plan?
Because most of us know each other not as good (more) I want to organize something to get to know each other better, and in this way organize something that your contacts with associates. Because mine alone can't take it anymore. You must do it yourself, home things. I give only to.. I am ever started..
I want on Sunday, June 21st, invite you to come to Amsterdam (on time, say 09:00-9:30 am) and then ... There it is ... with each other to step on Board of a boat where I have reserved for you a rich breakfast. Then we float a few hours by the beautiful waters and canals of Amsterdam and then (after about 3 hours) you have the opportunity to admire each other's car and then again every one his way.

This I offer the members to my 25 year anniversary because we celebrate!

For this outing, I offer free of charge to members, you want to take someone it will unfortunately have to pay the applicable fees. But that you ask me but through the mail.
I need to know very quickly if there is enough enthusiasm, and if you have specified to me you should also really come in handy. The package has a “from” number of participants. For example, react but 6 people than you know that the “whole party” not can go through (I see me though).

So: say even or you come (or not) and whether you want to bring any guests/introducees. Then I go find a parking spot, the boat, and the breakfast.

It seems to me in any case very cozy.. (Should also because I figured out it myself..?!)

Let fast hear something from you (and do you know people of the very first hours of which you will find that that should not be missing, let me know!)

Greetings, Ingrid Stroosnijder

Diemen, 8 April 2015

Dear members,

URGENT APPEAL
As a result of a previous call repetition.
Come on dear people, there should still be proud owners who wish to participate.

For a report in the magazine Classic Cars we are looking for 2 people who want to work here (more may also, of course, the more the better).

For the edition of July 2015 they want a report from 6 to 8 pages.
Would the one who wants to also do a little story and send a picture over the car.

It will be a combination of a more general, historical description of the SC 100 GX and a more personal story about your cars (or either) and what the SC 100 GX for you so special.

For the cars that they want to photograph, the preferred one in good condition and as original as possible copy. As the choice there is does a fresh or distinct color always good in the pictures.

Newsletter, February 2015.

Not in the planning but TOO FUN to remember..
We are all of a sudden at all in the picture!!
First Auto Bild Klassik from Germany and now the Classic Car Magazine from Netherlands and Belgium!
I'll keep you posted, but this was the plug-in, I have of course all excited responded..
Below is a portion of the mail:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
So I got the idea to approach you for a report in us magazine Classic Cars.
What I have in mind, is a report from 6 to 8 pages.
This will be a combination of a more general, historical description of the SC 100 GX and a more personal story about your cars (or either).
Assuming you want to grant your cooperation, of course!
Maybe you can tell me in brief what more on both cars. What are the differences between them (except for the color and the outside mirrors) and what the SC 100 GX for you so special.
I like to take (or a colleague of me) once an appointment for the photography of one or both cars. Of course, after March 1st, and as soon as there is no brine more on the road.

Annexed to this mail I have a parent article as an example.

For information: our magazine Classic Cars is made by the editors of car Review and appears once every two months. The first issue appeared in March 2014.

Dear members,

Many thanks you for your support.

Different SC-owners have offered to their car by mail to the photo-shoot to work for Autobild Klassik. They are with Rommy and Jan Schilstra from Makkum agreed to have their car use. A big thanks to all the others.
Nice to see that so many club members were willing to help, therefore would like to want to offer a small reward to Autobild Klassik: If there are members who want to be present at the shoot with their SC 100, the photographer a nice collective picture of all the cars and owners that are present.

We want to meet in Makkum on March 14 at 1 p.m. for the club picture.

I hope that several club members there may be present.

Mail me here if they want to be present at the photo-shoot.

With best regards,
Dear members, just a note pinned by a colleague ...

Who find this fun and wants to respond to it??
Like a response on that side!

PS. Please let me also know.
