September 1st is my first day as an officer. But before that: one more Nijmegen march, my eighth. This time it's not about the medal.

My father drove a BMW E31 840Ci in "Laguna Green." That exact color-and-model combination is existing twice, worldwide. I'm in touch now with the owner of the second one. In two years, I get to take it over.

Two years is a long time. Too long to just wait. So I'm starting now: finding an E31, tearing it apart, restoring it piece by piece, documenting every step. Not a finished showpiece. Workshop floor, rust, probably a curse word or two along the way.

Every euro you donate goes straight into buying and restoring this car. Nothing else.

Social channels are in the works. I'll take you along from the first turn of the wrench. Thanks for helping me make this dream on four wheels real.
