Motorshow 2007, Essen Germany

A visit to the annual Motorshow in Essen Germany.
For those who are interested in vehicles in all sorts and sizes, this is the place to be.
besides the regular cars which you can find in the showroom, there were F1 racing cars, 4X4's, sports cars, "pimp my ride"shows and many more......
However, after a while my attention for cars faded.........

Wahiba Challenge 2007

The Wahiba Challenge - November 23 & 24, 2007. An exciting off-road desert adventure for the eager teams that undertook the journey from the Eastern margin of the Wahiba Sands to the Western margin. As a member of the DuneDrivers team I joined the 10th anniversary of this event and the biggest ever, with over 200 participants divided into 25 teams.
The DuneDrivers team, consisting of 10 Dutch guys and 5 Jeep Wranglers, arrived well prepared at the startline.
It was a fantastic sight to see more than 100 off-road cars set off from Al Kamil on Thursday morning.

At the end of the first day we arrived 6th. at the camp.
The teams gathered in the middle of Wahiba Sands, at the pre-arranged check-point. Out of the 25 teams that set out, 16 made it to the camp site, where they enjoyed a fantastic barbecue.
The next morning all remaining teams set off to the second check-point at the Western margin of the Wahiba Sands before returning to Muscat. At the end of the gruelling weekend, everyone gathered at the PDO Recreation Club to compare their stories of the journey whilst enjoying the final dinner event sponsored by Nawras.

Casey Stoner wins MotoGP 2007

Good to see that Casey Stoner won 2007 GP title.
I met Casey in March during his stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha, Qatar.
A nice and friendly guy, ready to start of the 2007 GP season.
That same week I've witnessed his first GP victory at Qatar's Losail circuit.
