I started this page when I had a Porsche 924. I dont own it anymore. Somewhere in 2002 I decided to make this page a history of cars I owned. Just for myself ofcourse. (or is there really someone else who wants to watch this page?)

My first own car was a Fiat Regatta. I bought it when I was 29 years old, because driving to my work saved me more than 2 hours a day. At this age I still felt that corners should be taken with 4 tires smoking. I sent the car to car graveyard after one and a half year. (RIP 19980703)

Fiat Panda. 19980703 This car I got from a former friend of mine. She owed me money, I needed another car. I drove three months in it. Getting it through the dutch APK would have costed tooo much, so I traded it in for a

Ford Fiesta. Finally a car which didn't hurt my back when driving more than one and a half hour. But boring and slow, so I traded it in for a

Porsche 924, which wasn't boring and slow. It had perfect (50/50) weigth distribution. Cornering was big fun with this car. But keeping it on the road got too expensive, so I bought a

Audi 80 Probably the most reliable car I ever had. But it was a bit boring. When driving from France to Holland I decided I had to get rid of it. At 150 km/h it wasnt as steady as the Porsche was....

BMW 525i (E34)I bought this car in august 2001. At that time it had allready driven more than 350.000 km. But it still drove quite well. 20.000 kms later I can say I didnt had too much trouble with this car sofar. But parts are expensive for a car which costed 45000 euros when new... Anyway, this car drives really well. With the automatic gearbox and the way it sticks to the road its a real autobahn car. And perfect for trafic jam cruising while having breakfast as well. ;-) By the end of 2002 I decided to search for another bmw. Allready had some expences with this +370k km car. And was afraid it would become worse. All of a sudden the drivers seat broke somehow. At the garage where I had it fixed they had a oriental bleu '94 525i with half the kilometers the old one had.

BMW 525i/24v (E34) 29/01/2003 I traded the old E34 for this one. Orient Blue metallic with grey interior, which looks chique I.m.h.o.. I was a bit afraid the manual gear would disappoint me (automatics are nice for lazy people in traffic jam), but sofar it doesnt. The 20 extra horsepower and the added smoothnes from the 24 valve vanos engine make a difference. This engine really gets alive somewhere above 3500 rpm, but at 1000 rpm it is also quite usefull (i.e. 25 km/h in thirth gear). 2010-01-06 after almost 7 years ans with 320000 km we traded this car for a car for my girlfriend. I am carless now after some 17 years of having a car. ;-)
Deze auto door de apk krijgen zou bij onze buurman Autobedrijf Sieben in Zaandam meer dan 2000 euro hebben gekost. Dit bedrijf is een echte aanrader. We brachten hem de auto voor de apk en af en toe afslaan. Hij repareert eerst voor veel geld (zonder dat tussentijds te melden) het afslaan (en niet eens goed) en daarna ging hij de apk punten doen waarvoor hij tot een dusdanig vette begroting kwam dat de auto het eigenlijk niet meer waard was. We hebben 600 euro voor een benzine pomp weggegooid eigenlijk. Bedankt buurman!

Note: The F**** cars in the pictures are not my own cars but look alikes.
