NEW GARAGE FURT BOKEM!
HOW AND WHY WAS THE NEW GARAGE ESTABLISHED?
In 2017, when we started the FURT BOKEM project, we were given the option of a garage under conditions that are not rejected, and therefore we were able to create a background and a place where we will operate. Even this great opportunity had its BUT, because we could only have a garage for 5 years. And of course, time flew by and we had to look for new premises that would be sufficient and cover all the things we need, because in those 5 years, together with you, we managed to move the FURT BOKEM project 200 steps further! It took everything from energy to a lot of money, but I don't regret it and I'm glad that we keep moving FURTHER AND FURTHER.

The big "kicker" was the new garage or, rather, the premises suitable for building a new garage. I told myself that if we were to have new premises, they would really be the premises as I dreamed of them. I am really glad that Mr. Mayor Jan Rejman introduced us to Mr. Pavel Lack, who owns the space and received a positive review for us. I was looking for premises for more than half a year and there was nothing anywhere. Suddenly I was sitting in the office of Mr. Lack (Lapos / Motor gear) and he told me that it was their only available space and he didn't know whether to rent it. In the end, everything worked out and Mr. Lacko accommodated us both with the premises and with the rent, because you cannot get such premises under these conditions... and I am very grateful for the fact that he supported us in our development in this way. I think that the intention of the garage also played a big role, because Mr. Lacko has a son, Adam Lacko, who has been racing cars all his life, and they are both 110% passionate about it.
In addition to the garage facilities, we also have a hangar, a huge yard, which we have partly from Mr. Lack and partly from Mr. Gengela. I am very happy that we have been given the chance to show that we are serious and that we have been given terms that are not rejected. Thanks to Mr. Lack, it was even possible to secure legal paid car testing right next to the garage.

The craziest part of it all was that when I stood in the new premises, I saw how it would actually look. When I started telling the boys about my vision, Nelča and Dad thought I was crazy. Dad came over and said to me, "I don't know if you realize this, but this is a really big bite...do you think you can handle it?" I answered him without a second thought, YES! We are very glad that Dad helped us a lot because he has rich experience with construction materials.
But as it happens, parents are usually right and I really took on something that was much more demanding than I expected, but I will not jump off the bandwagon anymore....
We started the reconstruction, which was worked on by a lot of people who gave their best, and we slowly moved further and further.A lot of problems that had their solutions... But after about 2 months, a problem appeared that we miscalculated, it was the finances that were already above the limit that I had set for myself. But the garage was nowhere near finished, so I reached into the reserves and slowly but surely drove to 0. In the winter I managed, although I didn't want to sell some of my cars. We hid part of the money and part went to the garage. I got to the stage where I said to myself that it's okay, so be it, and I kept going!
I didn't believe that only "reconstruction" would reach 7 seven-digit numbers, and if it weren't for Honza from AhProfi, the guys from Raceshop, Monster Energy, Truelights, Laposu, Traso (Jakub Šmahlík), I think we'd be building a garage by now.
After a few months we were nearing the end and I slowly started to realize that this was really happening ….I was honestly afraid that when we show such a garage it will be "too much", but the opposite was true, because after the release of the first photos, I received hundreds of messages, and when we met, you praised the garage and how we went about it. And that motivated us even more!
The garage was circulating on the Internet, not only in our country, but also abroad, and at that moment, then I told everyone that we were on the right path.
You don't know it, but when you think about a simple thing, you say to yourself that it can't be done without it....I will write it to you as I experienced it, but you can easily transfer it to yourself.
Since 2017, I started and founded Furt Bokem. We had a garage, we started driving, learning to work with cars and drive. In year two there came a moment when I felt ... that I needed to move "I'm standing still". I bought a Skyline, a new printing technology, we increased the printing areas, bought more tools for the garage and SUDDENLY there was more energy and motivation to go one step further, and it was done! After a year, I said to myself that we enjoy doing events, but we want to be different …..I went and started to think of new things and elements that will take us further, we got more spaces for cars, improved the quality of textiles and again we they went on and that was another impulse and a huge supply of energy. Now we've reached the stage where we've moved on in leaps and bounds and it feels great BUT! there are also a lot of obligations and risks associated with it
I'd like to thank EVERYONE once again who pitched in and helped make this a great place!
I hope I won't forget anyone but by name ❤️
