Cars : |
 |
are means of escape
are fantastic
can be an excuse for spending a lot of money and time
can get involved in car crashes !
|
| My car... 2007 |
 |
BMW E39 520i automatic, a 2lt 6 cylinder smooth machine. Very nice ride, great at motorways (and very quiet) but nimble elsewhere!
...a bit thirsty in traffic though...
Sorry, no picture yet... |
| More cars...2001-2007 |
 |
Mercedes 200/8, 1968 model.
Plenty of space, nice ride but noisy (4 speed only), rusted and dying...a front wheel car, my only so far is a Lada Samara 1,3... ssshhh!
A lot better than expected in road manners and that is why it earned the right to be mentioned here! |
| My other car...1990-1999 |
 |
Alfa Romeo Spider, 1990 model (last facelift, last rear wheel drive Alfa), 1567 cc, 109 BHP, 2 double Weber 40 carbs ! This is me in my Alfa Romeo Spider in November 1990.
The car is still new, just a few weeks old, wearing this ugly wheel caps.
Unfortunately in 1999 I managed to drive it on someone coming from the opposite lane and wrecked it... |
| My car 1985-200? |
 |
This is my orange beetle of 1973, bought for me when I was a medical student in 1985. Rusty since but still alive... Around 1991, in front of the Peace and Friendship stadium. |

I admired the Parthenon and on his every column I found the golden rule
but nowdays I am saying it, I see the goodness and the beauty in an Alfa Romeo sport! |
| Other car in the family
|
|
Our 318i bought in 1992 is a very good car. Impressed the whole family with the quality of built and ride. (not surprising considering the Beetle and the Spider!)
It got stolen August 2003.... |
