Who’s that Quintijn guy everybody’s talking about?

Quintijn was so kind to write a little story about me a while back so with this post i’d like to return the favour. Many years ago (Quintijn says about 3 and i’d like to believe him on that) Marloes and i considered buying a BMW. So we looked around in the showroom until suddenly this guy pops up telling us what not to buy. Quintijn has a very strong opion (which he often calls the truth) about everything with regards to appearance. He’s the only guy i know that is not gay (at least, i’ve seen strong signals that that is not the case) AND has more than 12 pairs of shoes. Furthermore he actually enjoys ironing and folding his clothes.Because of his selling skills, we actually bought a BMW, then, after a while, we bought two mini’s for in our company, and later on even more cars followed. During that time our friendship growed and today i consider Quintijn one of by best friends.

The whole buying BMW’s and Mini’s thing got way to expensive to i asked him to come and work for us at IC&S and, without much hesitation, he joined the club. Which brings me to one of the most important bases of our friendship; Quintijn is a crazy as i am. Impulsiveness and taking risks is a big factor in what we do and how we do it. Instead of telling how we are alike, i think it’s more interesting to tell in what ways we are different. Quintijn is religious, i am not. Quintijn has this BMW, Clothing and everything with a brand fetish, i have not. I’m being inspired how to dress by my wife, Quintijn had a very strong opinion how his girlfriend should dress (don’t listen to him Nadine!). Quintijn is very opinionated by things, while i’m not

The best way to describe our relation is by a striking example (at least, that’s what they call it at the office). They tell us that we’re like Richard Hammond (Quintijn) and Jeremy Clarkson (me) from Top Gear. Both in height as the way we (inter)act.

I’m looking forward to our trip!
