experiences (cars i drived and knew) |
the first Subaru models that came in Holland were distrubuted and sold on consignment base , to promote the cars and interest dealers. At the time i was employed at a dealer called Piet Leeh carfirm in Amsterdam |
Power with a Chevrolet engine , what a appearance , and a terrible quality , every part was expensive and hard to order. the car i drove was owned by a guy that had loads of money because of his business , every time he showed up at the tyre firm he was accompagnied by girls i didnt dare to talk to............... |
what a great Fiat |
Jaguars will always be my favoutites. The 2 door version is the first classic i would buy if i could afford it , just because off emotion and knowing it will break down every week........... |
Rover the poor mans Rolls especially the 3l , v8 engines power and comfort ,the only tyre that you could fit on was Dunlop |
The Wartburg , 3cil 2 stroke and free gearing , i helped building the first one with a 4 stroke engine (1100cc Opel) for a taxidriver in Amsterdam , eastgermany came 15 years later.................................... |
I drove many , owned much and i know now that a car can offer pleasure and freedom. also frustration and dependancy , but it changed the world it made everyone able to go past borders and unite people. Its stupid that governements dont try to deal with it in a way as it should , the car is one of the primary life needs. |
