Which translates roughly as:
"From Semko Posthuma in Dronrijf we received this picture. He writes about
this: during my holidays in the Czech Republic, I also visited Austria. In
Linz, close to the Czech-Austrian border, I came across this "Giulia
Spider". Just as I wanted to take a closer look, two gentlemen arrived who
got in and drove off. I just managed to take a quick snapshot."

On the offchance that somebody somewhere is interested...
