Last weekend, I ran into an old pal from high school (Kenny Butstraen) and guess what: he’s building cars<\/a>! Up until recently, he was mainly focussed on building Le Patron: a kit car<\/a> based on a Citroen 2CV<\/a> chassis. Last year, with this car, he was the youngest distributor at the largest car expo<\/a> in Belgium. For Dutch reading people, there’s an interesting article by HLN<\/a>.
