As a young man he drew and built models of vehicles and boats. He later developed an interest in restoring and building motorcycles and Classic American cars, from both a design and a mechanical point of view. John-Egil was trained in mechanics and has worked as a vehicle painter, truck driver and product developer.<br \/>\nAs a product developer he has always focused on high quality. The question has always been: \u00abIs this the best we can do?\u00bb By recruiting a diverse team of 20 experienced advisors with experience in transportation, banking, industrial design, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, he started a process that is still developing.<br \/>\nJohn-Egil has cultivated his interest in vehicles his whole life. He has been fascinated with American vehicles ever since he got to drive his grandfather\u2019s truck as a twelve-year-old. He was the president of the local Classic Car Club from 1982-1992, and sat on the board of the American Car Club of Norway from 1994-2000. This active founder is currently building his own dragster, which he will drive for the Autoline racing team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"attribute-body\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00ab20 years ago I was challenged by my father-in-law to develop a reliable sand spreader.
