However we will not be able to finish the job so we have to spend one more night in the hotel. At 18.00 we are going to the hotel to practice our song for tonight is the club meeting of the auto club of Córdoba and also the evening to wish the “ Dutchmen” a good trip. First Peer shows us their own Model T meeting room, and then we go to the big meeting room. When all the members are present the president, who still races a Ford Falcon, asks for silence and tells everybody we will leave soon. Everybody gives us an applause and we receive all kinds of presents.

Now it is our turn to sing our song. Trudy and Greetje share the Spanish version of the lyrics. Just now Guillermo understands the Model T of Dirk is named after him; WATSON. He becomes emotional as we sing our song but joins us later while we finish it. The melody is so well-known ( quantanamera ) everybody starts singing along: Watson mi coche, yo guierro Watson mi coche. Many pictures are made and we have to autograph the Spanish version. When we leave they all wish us a good trip and: suerte , good luck. Together with these great, cordial and helpful people we can look back to a very special period of our stay in Córdoba.
