Dirk drives around in a tricycle: « If a Porsche comes next to me on the red lights, then I win”
Why did you buy this -Arum car?
“I drive privately with a Opel Grandland and for work, I have a security firm, with a van. But I have always been a car freak: at the time I have a BMW355, a Ford Cosworth and a Honda Civic VTEC. I wanted something again, but an eye -timer was able to work on it. That is no longer an expensive story.

What do you use it for?
“We have bought him in the first place for the company. If a customer starts his business or keeps an open day, we will park him at the door and we treat it to test trips. The children are crazy. He also delivers us customers. He is constantly photographed and people post it on social media. And when I park the neighbors outside. it appears that I do in security. «

Who is behind the wheel?
“Only me and my partner drive with it. We don’t give up our steering wheel. Our women should be allowed to drive it, but they don’t dare. You should also be able to drive well with this machine. There is a turbo in it. If there is a Porsche next to me on the red lights, then I win. And if you. planché Pushes and you don’t have your handlebar with two hands, then you’ve lost it. «
When do you drive with it?
“It’s really something for the summer. You can’t compare the blackjack with a convertible, those drivers are still somewhat protected. We are not. We are full in the wind. So if it is nice to ride with it from 25 degrees, then it is great in a t-shirt. In your thick winter coat in something like that, I can’t ride it with it. Is a perfect machine to cruise along small roads, and to take a good time occasionally. ”
Do you only dare to leave it behind? You can’t close it.
« That’s right. But I have never known that someone was going to get in, the people still have so much decency. But what strikes me: everyone wants to touch him. I don’t understand that well. I understand that you want to caress a dog. But a car? Especially when they are women playing rings. I already have many small scratches. »
