I posted this thread over on DDK and - as I know there are a lot of VW fans here on the world - am copy pasting it here for you guys to enjoy also...
My work/travel schedule has been pretty barmy lately. In fact, since January I've spent a total of 11 weeks out of the country, going back and forth to the US, Europe, and to every corner of Asia. When I get home from a trip I don't bother unpacking half the stuff from my suitcase, BA staff at Heathrow T5 have started to welcome me by name, and any day now I'm expecting poison pen letters from environmentalist groups about my carbon footprint. (As a long time owner of classic Porsches, I'm surprised I didn't get those letters years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)) I landed back in the UK on Sunday, after my most punishing trip yet: In the space of just 14 days I hopscotched London-Bangkok-Hong Kong-Kuala Lumpur-Manila-Jakarta-Bandung-Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur-London All work and no play would make James a dull boy, and in February I started a policy of rounding off any long tours of duty with some R&R before coming home. And this last trip was to be no different... Last month I finished off a 3 week Asian trip by joining Tenn and the Renndrive crew, for a Sunday morning cars'n'coffee in Bangkok. http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic...f=1&t=64686 Tenn knows Porsche freaks all across Asia. So before I set off on this month's trip, I asked Tenn if he could recommend something for me to do when I got to Indonesia. Turns out Tenn knew just the guy to introduce me to... |

Michael led me up a half flight of stairs and into what must originally have been an office or sitting room.
It's now his office. "My car used to stand in the middle of this room. Then we needed the space so, before we moved it out, I put a light on the floor and painted the shadow across the wall and the door".... Curiouser and curiouser! Any guesses on the car? (should be easy this one) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-19057-1558610603.1.jpg) Off the office is a sitting room, or perhaps originally a bedroom, still decorated like a normal home, with curtains on rails etc. That room now too is home to another Beetle. No time to snap that, because at this point Yanto arrived. |
