a short history of our mobility

Historie unserer Mobilität - History of our mobility

I couldn't wait to have my own car (vehicle). Before my 18th birthday I started repairing my parents' Renault 4 and when my mother got a new car it became my first car. I was very proud of it. Unfortunately a gearbox failure and the resulting costs took it away. But see for yourself...

my first car, a Renault 4 TL - it previously belonged to my parents - I repaired the car and repainted it in Porsche Albert blue and exchanged the standard seats for seats from an Alfasud, which was all possible back then

my second car - a BMW 2002 (I should never have sold it) - everything original, in top condition - but a "small" rear-end collision damaged it a bit, I fixed it but didn't keep it

it didn't look good, the thing with the fur seats was like that back then and it was well received by the ladies (because of the warmth) - allergies etc. were not considered back then
Button
Instead of the BMW, a Renault 4 came into the house again. This time an F6 box
Button
I have completely converted it into a motorhome, with seats from the R16
Button
and it also had more horsepower (48 instead of 34hp), at that time it was good, a Polo or the normal Golf had 50hp
Button
the special thing was that you could sit on the passenger side against the direction of travel and thus good communication was possible (which was not allowed even then)
Button

... and after all the Renaults and the BMW came the Saab passion, although a Renault 4 can definitely end up in the collection again

and there were other vehicles - from the first motorcycle to various vehicles ...

my first motorcycle - a Honda XL 250 K2, built in 1976, behind it the XL125 of my friend Thomas

later I painted it in the Honda Racing colors

the car together with Brigitte, a Mazda 121, a brilliant car

the children came and the Saab 99 was constantly broken, we were allowed to take over the Citroen BX from my parents, a faithful vehicle
Button
Button
a great car, our Saab 9000
Button
he had to endure many journeys - always with the caravan
Button
Button
my Triumph Speed Triple built in 1996, I love it, even though it is very heavy, unwieldy but it is fun to ride
Button
Button
Bettina's Bienchen - our mobility in Berlin, we got everywhere
Button
then came the Ducati Monster S2R for Bettina, the two always fight a little with each other, but that is also because we don't ride enough
Button
Button
Bettina's first Mini - Cooper S built in 2006
Button
Button
Button
then came the Clubman Cooper S, a brilliant car, today the Clubman is much too big (but that's apparently what the ladies and gentlemen want)
Button
Bettina's Mazda MX5, again a great car, fun and reliable
Button
Button
my Jaguar XF, I loved it, unfortunately the engine gave up at 250,000 km and said goodbye with a major engine failure on the highway
