Petrolicious Drivers Meeting
Last weekend the first edition Petrolicious Drivers Meeting took place at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire, UK.
With beautifully restored buildings and over 420 acres of land, the former RAF bomber station is the ultimate meetup spot for motoring enthusiasts, so it is hardly surprising that Petrolicious chose this to be the location of their first driver’s meeting. What better location could complement Petrolicious’s well known slogan ‘Drive Tastefully’? As one of the top online providers of high-quality visual content based around classic motoring, Petrolicious is an important multi-platform content provider for …
T3 Season Opening
I’ve had this beautiful 1980 air-cooled T3 for a little less than a year. I bought it shortly after someone had found it in a barn and redone all the engine work. Thanks to that it runs very smoothly and has done barely any miles. Exactly because it was a barn find and work had only been done to the engine bay none of the interior camping utilities worked. Being a Carthago camper conversion a lot …
Easter weekend in Tuscany
Easter this year I did a short roadtrip to Tuscany in the all new Volvo V90. After driving it a few times now I really enjoy it. It’s design is fantastic and the driving experience is …

MUC//LDN roadtrip part 2
After lunch I got back on the road, heading towards Saarbrücken, driving through the beautiful National Park Des Vosges. Just like on the previous day my plan was to be doing some hiking through the amazing landscape. One of the best things about venturing through the outdoors by car is having the freedom to access more remote places and really explore, and sometimes you just have to get out of the car to really experience the locations you see. I feel like vision is not enough to truly …
MUC//LDN roadtrip part 1
On Monday the 7th of January this year I set off in snowy Munich to spend the upcoming four days in my 1986 BMW 316. I would spend those four days between Munich and London, passing through Strasbourg, Saarbrücken and Brussels. I did that same distance last year over two days; spending one night in Cologne at …
Winter wonderland at Eibsee
Earlier in December last year (2018) we travelled to the Eibsee, at the bottom of Germany’s tallest mountain, the Zugspitze! I had been there before in the summer but have always wanted to experience its beauty on a snowy winter day. As soon as it snowed in Munich I knew that …
Porsche 964 Carrera 2
When walking back from work through Surbiton one evening I walked past a beautiful Porsche 964 Carrera 2. Its nose peaked out of the driveway and I slowly approached it. It was in such an astonishing condition that I couldn’t help myself but to leave a note …
VW T2 Camper Van
Lee is the head cook of a hotel in Leeds and is extremely passionate about VW. Although he usually drives his Mk1 Golf GTI Convertible to work he decided to take his Van on a rainy day in April. By chance I was walking past the hotels’ car park that day and I couldn’t walk back home without …
Land Rover Defender
A few weeks ago I drove from Leeds down to Pershore, Worcestershire to visit one of my uni friends over the weekend. I stayed at her parent’s organic farm and it was great! The weather couldn’t have been any better! I would like to share these images because they show what the UK countryside is like for me. First we went to Croome where …
Victim Brand
Recycled Skateboards Recently my friend @tomcat_skate sent me a box with his newest t-shirt and a one of its kind Victim Key- chain. Victim is a brand located in Wilhelmshaven in the North of Germany which uses old skateboards and makes keychains, phone cases, necklaces and loads more out of those recycled pieces of wood. I had seen people making things out of old skateboards on the internet before but …
WEEKEND DRIVE – taking out the BMW for the first drive in 2 weeks
Since I was in Glasgow, Tuscany and Munich over the last two and a half weeks I didn’t have any opportunity to drive the 1986 BMW e30. Although I have been back in Leeds for a week I was too busy with university to do so. But on Saturday I finally found the time to take it for a ride! (I had been looking forward to that for the entire week). So I did some research on the internet to find …
GLASGOW & EDINBURGH – one week with my family
We had rented an Airbnb in Glasgow. Once there, we visited the Glasgow School of Arts and learned a lot about Charles Rennie Mackintosh by taking a tour in the modern building (the old one is closed because of the fire that had happened a few years back), looking at different exhibitions of his furniture and even visiting his house! We also took a look at the Glasgow cathedral which has two floors! After spending the first couple of days in Glasgow we got a train to …
