After some deep thoughts and considerations. I decided to come back to the Netherlands the 30th of March. I’m coming back to start my professional career mainly at Tachyon Motorsport. About the other activity’s I will keep your posted. The first race I will be attending will be the Paasraces in Zandvoort. After 3.5 months of relaxing I figured out that that is not what I want to do another 3 months. I want to get back an focus me as much as possible on Racing and everything that goes with that. Meanwhile In my last two weeks I travel as much as possible through Mexico to enjoy it to the fullest.

This weekend I’m in Mexico-City to visit the concert of Coldplay. Denisse and I already went to this viva la vida tour october 2008 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Now they are finally in Mexico. Denisse is a big fan so she didn’t want to miss it. It is nice to visit Mexico-City again. More news later

After an cold week in Xalapa it is time to go to Coatzacoalcos. Will I’m writing this I’m in the bus for a 6 hour trip. We where stopped 10 min ago at the toll station. A soldier came in to the bus and then the funny part starts. He wonders true the bus he looks more like somebody that lost his cellphone. Then he comes closer and looks behind me for what? “nobody knows”. Denisse reminds me if I have my passport close and then the guy asked me where I’m going?(couldn’t he ask that the bus driver he knows best) then he want to look in my bag (the only bag he checked) of course no problem lots of wires from my laptop (would look weird for me a bunch of wires) he shined his magic flashlight in it and everything was oke. He didn’t even asked where I was from! I must say America can learn a lot from this country.

During my stay in Xalapa Denisse took me too a beautifull park in the middle of the city. For those 2 hours I really thought I wass the main actor of Jurrasic Park or Avatar. I made my first small movie with this park as the subject. To view it even better check the HD option.

after experiencing some problems with my old theme I decided to give my website a new look.
I will continue working on the details.
The content is not changed so everybody can still enjoy the content. At the end the theme is just the skin.

For the first time in my life I didn’t celebrate my birthday at my place in Driemond.
What is a better place to celebrate your first birthday away from home in Mexico?
Denisse, her mom and her sister arrange a nice piñata. (paper object which needs to be demolished in order to get your candy out) This was my main task besides cutting the nice custom cake. Blindfolded I needed to make 24 rotations in order to inaugurate my 24th birthday. After that one shot of tequila and then I needed to hammer the piñata with a stick. Luckily the piñata made a lot of sound so it was easy to find without sight.
Thanks to everybody who was there I had a great time and I bet you too, laughing at me

After 2 weeks of Dallas Mexico feels like coming home. After 2 flights with screaming kids it turned out to be a tough day afterall. At least for now I can continue my sunny holiday in Mexico. I also need to start doing exercise again because otherwise the Texas ribs will take their toll

My Mexican holiday has a little break for 2 weeks.
Last Monday I moved to Dallas, Texas for a special project for Tachyon Motorsport.
I can tell u I had a bit of a temperature shock getting here but now the weather is like fall in Holland rain and around 15 degrees. I try to stay off the fast-food this time but I can tell u it is really hard to find good restaurants for that.
I’m meeting some nice people here with a lot of knowledge on historic racing and fabrication. Maybe later I can tell a little bit more about the project. It definitely pushes me in a steep learning curve.

The year already started but I still wanted to wish all my website visitors a happy, health, sportive, etc. 2010
The fact that it is still more then 20 degrees here in Mexico even when it’s winter makes it really unreal that tonight we will celebrate the new year. Maybe if you have lived here your entire live you don’t know any better but I’m more used to colder weather around this time.
Besides the climate the people around me also make it feel different. All the friend of Denisse had to work between Christmas and new years. In the Netherlands that is only normal in a few company’s. So for me I didn’t really noticed that it was already the 31st of December.
This year i had some new challenge in racing which turned out to be really nice. I hope for next year it will even better all do the first part of the racing season I will still be in Mexico. I finished school this year so 2010 will be a totally different year the 2009. I hope the craziness doesn’t stop. At least here in Mexico a lot of crazy stuff happens on a daily bases.
