Car
Demands to the car, that where decisive for the acquirement::
- Ready to drive
- Automatic gearshift
Because of automatic gear shifting the steering of manual gearshift and clutch
are not required
- Cheap
- Can legally be driven from the seller to the garage
The journey
The car was acquired at "Automobile Jürgen Reis" near
Kaiserslautern. From there the journey began with red licence plates. First
destination was a disused flight path in Sembach. After a copious test drive
the car was set down in Erlenbach.
It soon became obvious that the garage was too small and the possibilities
where limited so the car moved to Steinwenden to a much bigger and better
equipped garage..
