- a 1991 Mini-El (CityEL) 🔌 EV Cabriolet (named "Obri-El" after its previous owner, Obri, who unfortunately passed away much too early), and
- a 2001 Knaus Traveller 500 motorhome based on Fiat Ducato, called "the Pennsemmel" (a portmanteau of the common German nickname "Rennsemmel" for a small sporty car and "Pennen", a slang term for sleeping).
