How 2018 could've been my worst year.
It all started a bit slow on the automotive front .... but suddenly there was the 214 hp Ducati V4 Panigale ready to be tested 
by the Bim!
To say the least ... I was truly impressed ... and i survived.
My 'trusty' blue bonkers diesel and the 1M of my friend provided me enough car thrills .... unfortunately my friend had bought a new home with a proper garage to stall his 1M ... one gone ....
.. and a bit later i crashed the blue Beemer against a tree ... leaving me 5 days in hospital ... talking about a close call ... it almost ended my time here.
Anyhow, i had to buy a new car and i got the 280 hp Megane RS (on the left) ...
Although i really prefer the new stunning A110 :-(
So a couple of weeks after i left the hospital things went to 'usual' mode with friends coming over ....
And soon it was time for the Bim relaxing at the beach reading .. a car magazine ;-)

My rental cars in the Holy land are always a bit uninspiring ....
In Tel Aviv my wife spotted this vehicle but i talked her out of it ;-)
Instead i got a testdrive in my daughter's 'brand-new' Fiat Panda ;-)
After returning from my holidays i had some fun with other stuff ....
... and getting in the mood again for some real fast driving .... on a race track off course.
I did a few trips with the bike but i really hope 2019 will see a lot more bike-action :-(
I visited very few events ....
The people at Porsche were very kind to provide us with the necessary alcoholic drinks .... so we got a smoother bike ride home
I had to post this picture.
Besides the Alpine there was another great car i really liked and still like a lot ....

Unfortunately the McLaren LT600 is only produced for one year. This is truly the first McLaren (besides the F1 off course) that i really like.
Hoping for a normal 2019,

Yes Bim my friend 2018 was bad bad year!
2019 gotta be better. Some amazing vehicles but that liliac Transporter is outstanding. Cheers D
Maybe not bad at all but certainly ...
... the most unexpected. It was very interesting to say the least, i hope this year will be even more mysterious ... hopefully all in a positive way . All the best my friend. Filip
All in all it was a pretty good year !
I got to meet you once, i spent over 6 weeks with my daughter in the holy land, i bought one of my dreamcars and my business ran pretty darn good. We will see about the A110 ... if i ever buy it ... the earliest will be like 2022 or so .... unless my deal...
Great cars, but my eyes always go to the bikes!
What is the black cafe racer style bike alongside your Multistrada? How do you find the V4? My eyes are still trying to warm to it, it looks a bit chunkier at the front than the previous Twins, but I'll trust your judgement! Glad to still have you sharing...
Actually the Multi is not mine.
I do test a lot of bikes for my friend who owns a Ducati store .... . The black Café Racer actually is the Ducati SCR Scrambler Café Racer that i bought in 2017, it's my only bike (apart from a 1992 CBR 600 in pieces). 800 cc aircooled 75 hp, pretty light...
