Who ,What ,Why 
 
 
In the Netherlands and other country's are lots of people who (according to others) have strange hobbies.
The same seems to be with our hobby.
'We' are : Patrick Duijnstee and Edwin Colijn. We are both,since our childhood, hooked on the lights in all shapes and sizes.

personal file's

name : Patrick Duijnstee
born : yep in 1972
home sit. : merried, 1 daughter.
job : filed service-engineer with the biggest Central Heating Co. of Europe.
how did it start : my dad use to have a beacon on his work-van witch he always turned on when he left to go to work. I was a baby back then and saw him leave as I was held in front of the window by my mom. As I grew up I asked my dad several times to get me one of those lights and when he did one day, the collection started.
Slowly the collection grew with one beacon at the time.
Years later I was watching the news on t.v (chanel 5 in the county) where I saw,to my big surprice, that I wasn't the only one with this rare hobby. Quickly after the broadcast I came in contact with Edwin and we are searching for more lights together eversince.
 

name : Edwin Colijn
born : yes in 1973
home sit. : living together, 1 son.
job: use to be car mechanic but now working as truckdriver at the newspaper
how did it start : as a kid I watched a lot of t.v and looked at a lot of police series/movies. I always thougt it was a waist to crash so many police cars. It would be great to have one of those cars for myself one day...... 
Many years later I bought a Chevrolet Impala and bild my own CHP cruiser.
This toke me over 2 years.I had to have a nice lightbar to put on it so I started the search. This wasn't easy but I got one and when you have one, you want more.
Since then I concetrated more and more on the collecting of beacons en bars.
When my girl and I moved into our new home I had to decorate the garden so I toke an old Impala, witch was supose to go to the car-graveyard,painted it black&white and cut the front end off.  Then dug a hole in the garden and pushed the car in.(like the Cadilac project in a dessert in the U.S.A)next I finished the garden with some grass and put a lightbar on top of the car.Now it just looks like the car drove into my garden by pushing the breaks to late(just like in the movies).
A reporter of the regional paper wrote an artikle about my garden and this resulted in a apperance on the national t.v. news(RTL5).
This was seen by Patrick and we came in contact.
