Time to refill the oil. News on the pimped up caravan has been going around in the mean time. Oh well, imitation is the biggest form of flattery. We’ve give them our business cards for some tips on how to turn into a ‘hell of a caravan’. Social media got a new dimension, owners of the gas station where very pleased to see us and nearly were glued to the window.  No we do not advertise on this site.

Jamie Cullum (David Beckham of swing) on the iPOD with his new album, The Pursuit. Nerd-fm approved, but also for the non nerds buy that master piece. Ghinzu spotted as the discovery of the day, live streamed via YouTube.  Oh well, if you glue the 10 pieces of streaming together, you hear a song.

First stats came in , we were blown away. No less than 58k Firefox users logged in to our side. Keep em coming.

What better place to stop for a high quality lunch than a Dutch road restaurant. Not one star, not 2 stars, but at least 500 stars (if you look to the sky at night).

Have been struggling with it a bit. But good news, we have manual airco on board!

Volkswagen and KIP connected. Quality from the 70’s never dies. At least we hope. It’s a windy and rainy day, may the Gods be with us we don’t get thrown off the road by a wind boost. Team now complete : Basti, Holly & Kurt. As names end with ‘I’ or ‘y’ thinking about Kurtie, but sounds a bit silly, so go for Buckie.

An early morning ride for our cute 1974 KIP caravan coming from Den Haag, slightly pimped up for the ride to DreamHack. The driver got a warm welcome with a cup of hot coffee.  We’re nerds, so very polite.

The navigation system found the right address but the hotel is another one. Basti is a good driver but when it comes to travel arrangements he is a real geek. The city of Antwerp is setting you in a Cthulhu environment and so we call it Innsmouth up from now. The hotel  lost all stars somewhere, restaurants are closed… time to sleep.
