Everything started back in the late 80s when still a kid, I spotted that dark red Mercedes-Benz Ponton. I started seeing life through cars. Behind The White Wheel reflects this part of my personality. In it, you will find thoughts, stories, events and valuable information related to owning, restoring, maintaining and living with a classic car.

Red Empty Bench Seat
I jump into my car, turn on the ignition and press the starter button…
As the tired 49 years old engine starts, and I glimpse on the rear view mirror the small puff of white smoke,
As I engage the 1st gear, and start hearing the different noises that come from the many still ongoing mechanisms,
As I turn on the old Becker Mexico, and push the wonder bar looking for a nice song,
As I shift gears, climb hills, avoid water puddles, and drive on small empty roads…
I can’t but think of you…
I miss you sitting next to me on the red bench seat, making fun of the car, calling it “tombor”, laughing, complaining, and talking, talking, talking…
I miss enjoying these crazy little things with you!
I miss living with you…
