A car enthusiast pur sang in a pretty sad situation.

While the Syrian Aleppo is turning into an abandoned ghost town, this autoverzamelaar determined behind. The 69-year-old Abu Omar is very attached to his autocollectie, which consists of 24 classics.

Although some of the car’s hefty damage experienced by the current war refuses to Omar to flee. Six classics are all pretty battered by the kogelgeweld. For him to feel the cars as his best friends and therefore denies Omar to leave. Despite the presence of IS in the city, try the Syrian the cars to refurbish.

The 69-year-old man is all his life has been very busy with the collection of cars. In this video from AFP news, we get to hear that Omar wait until the war is over, so that the cars can pass on to his children. A nice thought, though it is a hopeful future for Syria is still not in prospect.
