After attending the 2015 European meeting in Bleckede, I bought my GT in late summer 2015 through Olaf Moldzen. After a 2-year "construction phase", the GT has been back on the road since August 2017 and is "experiencing" Europe.

Important international representation of the European Opel GT scene to communicate and promote a unique community of car enthusiasts.

Since when do I drive GT:

I have been enthusiastic about the GT since 1984, when I discovered the book 'Nur Fliegen ist schöner' (Only flying is more beautiful) by chance in a bookshop. The model has inspired me ever since. That's when I started collecting everything about the GT and never stopped (models, brochures, books, reports, etc.). In 1985 I became a supporting member of the Dutch GT Club and since then I have attended many meetings in the Netherlands and abroad. I have owned my first GT since 1988. In 1995, during my first trip to the US, I bought and imported my other GT's locally. I have been driving the first US GT since 1998, the others are being restored.    

I have always had a great interest in the 'underdogs' of the car world. In the 80s, the GT was completely unknown to the general public. That a brand like Opel produced such a unique car back then! I still get excited when I see one or more GTs, there's always something new to discover - what the owner has done with it or what was original to the GT that I've never seen before.

An international organization to represent interests, build contacts and revitalize the classic Opel GT.

My interest in the GT was sparked by the fact that I grew up with the car as a teenager. Since then, I've been able to experience many wonderful moments and meet lots of nice people, and my fascination for the GT and the scene has remained to this day.

Representing the interests of GT clubs and supporting members in order to jointly shape an active scene and represent the GT outside the scene.

Opel GT Club Schweiz

 I've enjoyed sitting in my own GT since 2009, and was at the European meeting in Sevenum (NL) in 2012, where I first came into contact with the Swiss club.

As a child, I marveled at my neighbor's GT and imagined owning an Opel GT myself one day. In 1998, I had already test-driven the car of a good colleague, but with a heavy heart I postponed the purchase when we had a baby... . By chance, in 2009 I was in conversation with a garage owner who was retiring and wanted to give his GT into new hands

Promoting the vehicles, which have become a cultural asset in the meantime, on a European level and maintaining the good network of Opel GT drivers.

Since when do I drive GT:

I have been riding in my father's Opel GT since my earliest childhood. In 2018, the decision was made to buy my own Opel GT, which was then restored. Since 2020, I have also been driving my own Opel GT myself

The unique shape and the driving pleasure that cannot be described. You have to experience it for yourself. But also the many memories that you associate with the car.     

A large community and central point of contact for GT drivers in Europe. It is important for maintaining contacts outside Germany and strengthening the community.
