I went to the Malmi 75 Air & Motor Show to see an SCC Ultimate Aero TT that was not there after all, because they canceled it (and a lot of other interesting cars were missing as well – Gumpert Apollo, McLaren MP4-12C, “Eleanor”, F40 and so on). That event was sadly not organized in [...]

A Pagani tour had been a dream of mine since the first time I visited Italy, in May 2012. I managed to visit several other places back then – like Lamborghini – but because of the earthquake I had to leave Pagani until next time. I did not have to wait that long before my [...]

After 10 weeks in Italy I am a few steps closer of knowing what makes me happy in life. You learn something from everything you experience, right? Happiness for me is not luxury hotels, fancy restaurants, or expensive cars. Also my place is not in the passenger seat, unless it is something like around Nürburgring [...]

Yesterday evening after a 500 km drive from Portovenere to Annecy it was time for Mercedes-Benz AMG media night. A short interview with Thomas Weber is up at Swedish car magazine auto motor & sport’s Youtube channel, also a video from our drive from Portovenere to Annecy and when we got stopped by the police… [...]

I am alive. Fresh start after a three month break (honestly I am not sure if I have ever before been three months without a single blog update, and I have had this blog since 2008… this was a personal record). What did I do when I returned home from the road trip in mid-November? [...]

This man has a car collection I wouldn’t say no to, and also a home I absolutely want – SO COOL! URBAN OUTLAW is a portrait of Magnus Walker, the rebel Porsche customizer who turned a hobby into an obsession, and an obsession into a successful business. From a workshop in downtown Los Angeles, Magnus [...]

I’ve just spent 50 hours in Hamburg and 28 of them together with a local petrolhead – best city guide I’ve ever had. Not only did I get tours around the city in a Morgan Plus 8 and an Aston Martin V12 Vantage (yes, really…), but I also got the complete petrolhead treatment – McLaren [...]

I had a grand plan that when I arrive to Stuttgart today I’m going to dedicate an evening to doing blog posts and editing photos – but I wish. I’ve been driving and photographing almost non stop today – first I drove around 200 km to Stuttgart in the morning, then Mercedes-Benz Museum, then Porsche [...]

I spent yesterday drooling over some of the fine things in life. First I did some four wheel drooling, can admit that I would really like this Subaru Impreza WRX STI version 6 to be the first thing I see in the morning when I wake up and look out from the window (or perhaps even this  - [...]

First driving heaven dream come true on this trip – well, after Nürburgring, but I didn’t actually drive on the track so can’t count that in – was Grimsel Pass and right after it, Furka & Oberalp Pass. I don’t think many people would write about the world’s best driving roads without including them – [...]

My last stop in France before going over the border to Switzerland was Mulhouse. Not because of the city itself, but because of the Cité de l’Automobile car museum – Schlumpf Collection. There is such an overwhelming amount of cars there. Although the really vintage cars are interesting to look at, I personally prefer when [...]

My mum asked me today why I haven’t updated the blog. I told her I have like 15 drafts waiting to be published but so many photos (and videos) and everything and there’s not enough free time after driving, eating, exploring and sleeping. But I’ll need to do something about it, so many nearly finished [...]

This evening I arrived to La Bresse in the Vosges mountain valleys – still in Lorraine, although I went to the Alsace side today to check out the rallies. Driving today has been a nightmare – short story about that here. First I did a little hill climbing to Forêt d’ Abreschviller and if you [...]

I had one free day in Paris without any motorshow activities and used that wisely – I walked around for almost 7 hours. Took the metro from Vanves where I stayed (nice area) to Louvre and then walked, walked, walked… The funny thing was that I didn’t take a single photo of the city. And [...]

I asked a friend on Facebook where I should drive – 3 days time and nearly 700 km to drive from Hörstel, Germany to Paris. 2 stops along the way and I could get away with driving around 250 km per day. Plans changed – because he said go to Nürburgring. I actually had thought [...]
