Hey guys,

Last weekend I went to Knokke. When we came there, we saw a Dodge Viper SRT-10. It was parked so I crossed the street and made some pics.. After a couple seconds, the owner came to me and said: ''Do you want to take a seat?'' Me: ''Off course

''.. The owner was very friendly and told me every thing about the car, it's the only one in Belgium 8).. The next day I went to Knokke again and again I saw the Viper.. It was driving in knokke.. After a while I said to my brother: ''I'm gonna ask him if I can make a ride in the Viper with him'' so I walked to the owner and asked it.. The guy said: ''Okay, I've got nothing to do so get in''

.. We drove about 5 minutes and it was STUNNING! The acceleration, the power, the noise.. Everything!
Here are the pics!:

Here's a video:

P.s. Don't pay attention to the talking and it goes a lot faster than it seems

Awesome experiance!!! Very nice pictures!

Aren't those Belgian guys extremely friendly?

Some very nice pics. I've to wait though for dl the vid (I've downloaded too much from rapidshare the last few minutes

)

One remark though, I don't think it's the only one in my little country. I know another place where a Viper is sleeping.

Oh.. I didn't know that, the owner said that this was the only one

Great news, and nice to see another friendly owner.

It won't be long and all JW members will have had a ride in some sort of exotic - well we can try anyway.

You know, all it takes is a friendly owner and enough balls to go ask them

I really love the look of the older model Viper, especially due to the LARGE engine cover/hood which tils up on stils when opened. Breathtaking.

what a nice guy. I asked a guy to get a ride in his Ferrari 550 last year...he was a total dick. I love the new Viper, all those cubes make for tons and tons of fun!!!

Yes, I have worked that out lately - and got a ride in a 328 GTS and Lotus Elise.

Then of course next week I have another 10 cars I can add to that list.....

I just think that such people are not really car lovers, but just buy a car for the status.. I hate those people..

lucky b*stard

Interesting - when the cars are over in the US, they are called unwieldy piles of crap...

But when y'all come across one in Europe it becomes an "exotic"..

Nice - we need more folks to experience pushrod V8's and V10's to spread the word about just how much damn fun they are

Nice sighting and ride!

I saw it on may in Knokke but it was raining
