mooi = beautiful (so, also “NSX”)
strak = tight (like the NSX handles)
rood = red (like my NSX)
vies = dirty (like my NSX)
blij = happy (have NSX)
inhalen = pass (what we do, and what never gets done to us)
niet goedkoop bij een botsing = not cheap in an accident
boost = this is what Gerard has (supercharged)
rijbewijs = drivers licence
rijbewijs kwijt = licence confiscated
brede banden = wide tyres

leuk = nice (like NSX drivers)
cossie = my Cosworth (not a Dutch word) (yet)
lekker = tasty (a very important Dutch word)
