Isn't she lovely

Took the old GMC out of the garage to dust her off and take her for a spin.
Standing there in the shade it struck me that it still is a really nice ride.

Unwinding on Perry's HD

Went to the office early today to work on the speech for Caroline.
When I got it done I took some time to kick Perry's bike around with Harold.
Still a nice feeling to ride and hope my project will be finished soon.

Mini Cooper S Clubman

Picked up the new mini yesterday. Didn't think too much of it before but after driving it I have to admit, it's a really nice car. Very complete, fast, very nicely detailed and nice gadgets.
Cheaks wants to trade in her beetle convertable now...

Today also Frans was released from hospital after his triple bypass. He is recovering amazingly quick (ptl) and he will crash at our shack for the coming week atleast.

Rest In Peace Caroline "Sweet Caroline" Finizio.

Picture taken in August 2007, exactly 1 year ago. Caroline was always available to entertain our foreign guests.

Today at 1pm Caroline had to give up her battle.

I'm at a loss for words. Unfair, angry, why, sad, empty, unreal, unimaginable ...

Never have I seen a person who was more positive about everything. She had a drive that never ended and she knew no evil.

She has tought me and I learned from her about positive attitude.

It is sad that she did not get the break that she so deserved.

It is sad that she left behind a husband, an 8 year old son and her mother.

It is sad that she only lived to be 37.

God must have had a darn good reason to call her back.

I was priveledged to have known her and work with her.

Ciao Carolina, sweet Caroline.

Baja evening

Had some fun this evening with the bajas. Erwin and me found the gate open at a local auction place which has a huge parking lot.

Cost us a set of tires each, almost ended up in the pond, drove through fire and burned the asfalt (left our mark) and I noted that my new DarkSoul front bumper has already paid off.

Thank God for DarkSoul Racing.

By chance I installed the lights yesterday which worked great!

Koi

Dad and the boys built a pond for the Koi. Pretty neat if I say so myself.

Tracktor Pulling

Yearly event here, the Trekkertrek... My 3year old son Jesse loves tracktors!

Basically a bunch of farmers losing control and having fun. (Also a nice place to spend the day with the kids...)

I'll let the pics speak for themselves...

O, just this, the rusty oldy was a real beauty!

Project Chopper

Last week I went with Marcel from Bikehospital to the RDW. (local DMV)

The bike got approved after some hustling and tomorrow I will take it to the customs and pay for the BPM (luxery tax which only this shit country has).

The bike should be good to go early September.

Oh,... in the picture it doesn't remotely look like what it will be in the end.

HPI Savage

My friend Maurice who has upgraded my Savage is doing good work with his own Savage aswell.

A complete rebuild from XSS to XL SS version.

Good work Maurice! (for a 15year old scumbag)
