Erik Translating the "Flevobike Story", I had a doubt. You've wrote that Mr. Vrielink was born in 7-10-1944. This means October, 7th, 1944 or July, 10th, 1944?...
Thanks for the input everybody! Comments below: ... Me neither. I'll leave this problem to later. ... Right, a real genius doesen't make any money. ... Good...
