Work trips are a mixed bag at times. On one hand you get to see new things and visit new cities, on the other, those new things may often be limited to the place you’re staying in and the work you’re there to perform. Such is the case with my stay in Haarlem. Karolina and…
Today I had the pleasure of riding in a 1963 Porsche 356 SC. It happens to belong to one of the owners of the company we’re currently visiting in The Netherlands. I’ve had a steady contact with Porsche owners for over 16 years trough my dad’s work at North Hollywood Speedometer so this car was…
I haven’t had a chance to write much on my blog in the past week or so. Things have been busy at work but I’ve been doing some traveling as well and will try to post on this soon. In the mean time I’m in Haarlem in The Netherlands on a special assignment doing work…
