New Car

My new car, ordered in October, finally arrived It’s a metallic black Volvo S40 2.0. I already drove it from Belgium to Croatia and it drives very very good. The High Performance audio pack is definitely worth its money, it simply sounds great and with the MP3 support I don’t have to insert new CD’s every hour anymore.
Here are some pictures of it. Please note that these are not so great, since the car was already a bit dirty and wet. I will take some new pictures when I have cleaned it completely and when it’s sunny, somewhere in the summer probably. Read the rest of this entry »

Back from skiing

26 Jan, 2008 No Comment

I’m back from my skiing trip to Zell Am Ziller in Austria. The weather was great. Almost always blue sky and sunny on the skiing slopes since we often went above the clouds. Only one day it was foggy but then we got fresh snow that day, so good after all ;) The highest we went was around 2500 meters. All in all it was great

I never skied before so I took some lessons with some friends. The following is a picture taken from the skiing slope where we had our skiing lessons.
