Ireland – seven days to drive around the emerald isle
I started heading West; North West to be precise. I was heading towards Snowdonia, Wales. Normally, a five hour car journey along English motorways is long, monotonous and tiring. This time, however, it felt different. I was excited by the prospect of traversing territory that I had never experienced before. My destination for the day may have been Snowdonia – which is worth a visit on its own – but I had a greater trip ahead of me. The real adventure would begin in none other than the emerald isle …

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 …
