A random selection of posts about travel and tinkering with mechanical machines. Mostly cars from 1937 to 1999, manufactured in English speaking parts of the world, but also kayaks and sewing machines. So here you can see how we travel, drive, paddle, break fix and find on a regular basis. On a desktop, you can choose your favourite item from the list on the right, choose a page from the menu or simply scroll down to see the latest.

EMWalhalla Raamsdonksveer may 2026
One of the strangest events in the Netherlands is this one.

An ideal setting for Blondie, our completely ordinary, avarage and very lovable Morris Minor, parked next to a pristine Marina 1.8.
