what makes him tick! Travelling is essential to the TSS
It all started at a local hillclimb, called the Eggbergrennen in Bad Säckingen in the very south of germany in 1970. But it got really going two years later: Absolutely aware of what effect this could have on a young lad aged barely ten, his dad took him and his brother to Hockenheim at the end of 1972. The turbo Porsches were there, it was said… the race was called the „Preis von Baden Württemberg“, last heat of this years`Interseries championship - big V8 McLarens, Lolas, Ferraris, the whole lot… And that was it

Swiss motorsport expert and luminary Peter Dätwyler offered him his 1965 FormCar Formula V car to take part in the Eggbergrennen hillclimb. That was so much fun that he repeated it one year later and it even led to buying a wrecked Veemax Formula V. The car was restored by friend Kalle Reuter and finished in time for the maiden outing at the Altbüron hillclimb in switzerland in 2011. TSS did it „for love of the sport“! Also, there was a drive in a proper F1 car in France and several outings in the passenger seat with real pro`s - see the photos in the drivers gallery.
"hit the gas!“
The TSS was addicted to modelling right from his early school days. He has watched his dad building airplane and racing car kits and wanted to do the same. Sometimes it became excessive and he had to sell some of them because simply there was no space anymore to display all the cars properly. Today the collection counts more than sixty 1/12th scale cars, but also he is big into 1/43rd Land Speed Record cars and Ferrari F1`s.
"loving nice models“ 1/12th scales

"oh no, not that…“ Steampunk Rules!
