He invited us for a dinner and we all got to know each other in person and he made me the offer to be a part of the Customikes team.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_7119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7119\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7119 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSC0274-300x288.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC0274\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSC0274-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSC0274-560x538.jpg 560w, https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSC0274.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marianne and me in front of our wedding car&#8230;a 1958 Mercury Parklane.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_7121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7121\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7121 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n-300x298.jpg\" alt=\"554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/customikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/554202_3336102379898_1113540670_n.jpg 461w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hamburg Central Station, the first pic wearing a customikes shirt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 2013 I sold my Volksrod project to Mike to get a little bit of money to buy an American classic car from the 50\u00b4s or the 60\u00b4s.
