THE YEARS 1986 AND 1987: MY TIME IN LIMBURG, THE SOUTH OF THE NETHERLANDSIn 1986 , I passed my exams at the school of commerce (Mercatus college) in Rotterdam. I decided to work at the Vonk Cheese factory , situated on the big industrial area of Melick-Herkenbosch in Limburg. I was feeling at home among the people of Limburg and I met some nice Limburg beauties …… sometimes thanks to La Reina Negra ! On the 5th of October 1986 , I took part in a Citroën 15 SIX meeting in Uden. I met Mr. Cuypers from Nederweert. He was a brilliant technician and noticed a technical failure on La Reina Negra. It was repaired at his place and I was grateful for that.In November 1986 , the engine was showing low compression. Unfortunately I couldn´t drive any further and the engine had to be taken out. After I found a new location for the car I started to dismantle the car again. La Reina Negra was stored now in an ice factory (Dedert) in Melick-Herkenbosch.. (More details about the work done can be found in the part “Restoration”) In September 1987 , La Reina Negra was ready to take part in the ICCCR (International Citroën Car Club Rally) in the “Loreley” in Germany. I took part in this very well organized event with my friends Nico Vreugdenhil and Wim Roodenburg. (More details in the part “Events”) |
