THE RENAULTOLOOG

The face behind the Renaultoloog

My biography

First of all my biography. I was born on 12 January 1974 and lived in Evertsoord, a small village in the south of the Netherlands, until the age of 22. After primary school I went to the school for Lower General Secondary Education, after that I got Intermediate Business Education (logistics), and finally I got my professional training as a truck driver from 1993 to 1995. I have lived in Sevenum (near Evertsoord) since 1996, with my wife Josette, in 2002 we got a lovely daughter: Isa and in 2006 our lovely son: Jasper.

My working career started as a farm-hand on the farm of the brothers Van Enckevort in Evertsoord, where I worked every Saturday and during holidays. It was on this farm that I came in contact with Renault first. During my education I did practical training (one day at school, four days at work within one week) at a company called Fancom. I also worked in the garage of Driessen Cargo Horst, in the warehouse of Van Mierlo Logistics in Venray, and as a truck driver for Nedlloyd Road Cargo. After completing my education I got a regular job at the firm Jumbo, which just had a new name: Hanos. I worked for this company untill march 2002. After working as a chauffeur for Mertens B.V. in Horst from March 2002 till July 2007, as from August 1st I am again working as a chauffeur for the firm Hanos in Venlo. I drive a Scania P230 with Opticruise transmission.

Renault in the broadest sense is my greatest hobby and pleasure, with making models as a part of it. Furthermore, I collect everything of Renault and I poses 4 Renaults: a Laguna 2001, a R19 1995, a R340 1993 and an Endurance mountainbike 2006. My other favourite brands are: Mack, Claas, Scania and Volvo. My other hobbies are playing football, running and listening music (Bands like Queen, Manic street preachers, Talk Talk, Coldplay and Massive Attack).

The Renaultoloog specialists, fellow-supporters and observers

Much has happened since the beginning of this website in April 2004. After a lot of hard work, research done, taking pictures and knocking together the site, it grew into its current shape. In the course of time I came in touch with many people, all of them, in one way or another, having to do with Renault. Almost every day I am approached by people from all over the world. That’s something I enjoy very much and hadn’t expected previously. It enabled me to build up a network, as a result of which we can help each other and share information. Via this page I would like to thank everybody for his or her contribution to this website.

Renaultoloog observers (Représentant Renaultoloog)

People from all over the world, who are, in one way or another, occupied with Renault, are approaching me. They keep me up with the latest novelties (on local or world level), provide me with photographs, CD ROMs, books, web links etc, which in turn I can use for the site and pass on to its visitors.Make visible that you are a "Renaultoloog observer/representative (Représentant Renaultoloog) too: Download, print and plasticize the picture below and put it behind the window of your Renault, in order to show everyone that you are a member of the Renault family. Please, tell me your experiences!
