New Year’s Day 2013: Pensacola
Not a bad way to start the year really. This was the sunrise on New Year’s Day at the Gulf of Mexico.
Ferrari 458
I got to drive this Ferrari around the track, though they limit you to about 200 km/h. This Ferrari takes 3.2 sec to reach a 100 km/h – makes the Aston at 4.7 sec seem a little “sluggish.”
Linkin Park
I often get teased about my extensive pop music collection. Just to show I have eclectic taste, here is proof of something slightly heavier (though I wasn’t one of the black t-shirt highly-tattooed brigade).
Kyle the Mechanic
No experience but I’ll take a look …
Starting to look like a real race car.
Thankfully my mate Brad didn’t really let me touch anything.
Vancouver/Seattle May 2013
We just got back from Vancouver and Seattle for a conference. Here are some photos.
The Capilano Suspension Bridge … reminded me of what the ground feels like during a quake.
Transport to the top of Grouse Mountain.
Transport to Victoria.
Victoria
The very first Starbucks.
Border Control
I got my new passport in April this year. In the last month, I have travelled into Canada and Australia, and into the States twice. Only on my return to New Zealand was it picked up that my passport was not signed. Lucky it is not an important document that anyone looks at closely!
Monaco July 2013
I thought the Ferrari 458 made the Aston look a little sluggish, though this Bugatti makes the Ferrari look sluggish.
Washington Redux V
I went to another car show with an amazing selection. Here are some …
This was my ride to the carshow – a1933 Packard
Another Packard – this time a 1932.
1926 Rolls Royce
1931 Cadillac
1924 Sayers and Scovill
And a modern one to finish – a 2011 Ferrari Italia 458

I was very fortunate to get a tour inside this address. Unfortunately, photos inside were not allowed.
