@ Finn666: Yes, there are certain connections… 

That's what my boss said, too. Little did I know what to expect when he offered me "some interesting marketing job with a company vehicle"…

Had some problems with the size. So I went for XS.

I was rather surprised - there was no bidding frenzy. Yes, you should have bought them 

Latest addition to my collection: Shiny Lone Wolf / Buzz Rickson Wireman, fresh into Bootsville via ebay Sweden. Real bargain, by the way. Ah, the joys of the world wide web!

They were pretty hard to wear initially, but now I love them to death. They got some stains from raw denim now which gives them a nice patina.
Definitely recommended.

My collection: Redwing, Thorogood, German Army 60ies Knobelbecher NOS

I was with some friends who are dealing with those cars. They go to France regularily and the car in the picture is their latest purchase.

@ Seul: Feel free to buy some ice cream - could help getting happier! It worked with that infamous rookie, anyway.

@ elclintor: The Porsche won - and Madame was not amused:

Her hazardous drive style ended in a DNF for the Ferrari.

Instead of spraying Champagne from Magnum bottles I decided to celebrate the victory with Madame at the local ice cream shack.

This weekend the 24h de Mans are the center of the motorsport world.

Despite all the technical stuff involved, I still get a kick out of getting to know people behind cars and technology. As I used to say: The tech talk is just a key to other peoples mind. It's simply amazing what kind of people you meet who dedicate their life to cars - be it as a collector of classic cars or as a tuning kid who spends its apprentice money on some weird gadgets for a run-down Volkswagen Golf Mark 2.

So it's not about TV and cars - it's about people!

Starting the day without any IH gear:

But then - hey presto! The postman did not have to ring twice, because I was expecting good things from across the Channel:

Thank you G and P for the super duper fast shipping!
