How things got started

This picture is one of my favorites. This is the very beginning of my hobby. This picture was probably taken shortly after my father arranged the Suzuki from Oulu to Helsinki and from there to Sipoo. The story behind the Suzuki is somewhat funny. Once we were visiting my mother's uncle in Oulu and I was exploring his large yard to pass my time. I ended up behind his garage, where I saw this abandoned car and some unexplainable enthusiasm exploded in me. I ran to my parents, who were drinking coffe with my mother's relatives and the little I could speak, I told them to follow me. They came to see the Suzuki and I said something that would have heavy consequences. "Can I have this?" I was so young that I can't remember everything that happened after that, but the next thing I remember is that my father towed the Suzuki to my Grandmother's house and fixed it enough that it'd start. Then the Suzuki was transported to the railway station and the rest is history. In this picture I'm (on the left) 6 years at the most and my brother is 4 or 5 (on the right).
