| My motorbikes |
 |
| Customised Honda SS-50 motorbike (1975) |
 |
| Customised Suzuki GT-550 motorbike (1979) |
| My cars |
 |
| My first car was a Honda N600 purchased for € 125,00... |
 |
| A year later I inherited this classic Citroën DS |
 |
| The day I got the opportunity to buy my dreamcar, the Opel GT, I didn't hesitate |
 |
| Family expansion forced me to buy this Opel Kadett 1.3, my first newly bought car |
| Later I would own in succession: a red Opel Kadett Break 1.6 Diesel, a gray Citroën XM 3 litre V6 and a blue Opel Astra Break 1.6 Diesel. Currently I own a Renault Grand Espace 2.0 16V, a Renault Twingo Initiale and an Opel GT. |
