  • Police unaware of accidents .

    I called the police to make a declaration about the traffic accident in which my velomobile was damaged. A nice policeman explained that when the insurance-documents were filled in correctly, the police doesn’t do anything. So I asked her where the statistics for dangerous traffic-situations were based on, if nothing is reported in situations like…

  • V-belt needed some attention

    The typical sound of slipping V-belts forced me to have a look. I used some logs to make space underneath the bottom. Not safe at all ; I know ………..

  • modern world

    I think this video from reuters shows perfectly the newest ideas about the coming “modern world” and how to be prepared for it. Have a look :

  • Big Boy’s Toy

    My neighbour bought a new toy !

  • $4 per gallon

    Gasoline in the USA is cheap compared to European prices, but it rises!

  • *@#$%^&; !

    Needed a new windscreen …….. . .

  • do the test

    Please do the test here and find out if your able to take part in the daily traffic jam, without hitting any bicyclists. Yesterday I was (again) in a situation I felt like “a moonwalking bear” ; the car driver looked me straight into my eyes but totally denied my presence at the bicycle path…

  • traffic congestion

    It’s a simple problem, more asphalt will not solve it……….

  • there had been a burglary in our car…!@#$%^&*

    I wish the burglar (and the receiver is as bad as the thief) many serious incurable diseases !  

  • the battle for oil

    a 50 minutes video about the battle for oil between US and China.

  • ticket

    The police officer gave me a ticket for not using the safety belt while driving in my car. !@#$%^&*( ;   I know; it’s my own stupid mistake ! ticket, originally uploaded by wim harwig.  

  • new sleeves needed

    The rear brakes didn’t work as it is supposed to work anymore. So the cylinders and sleeves were replaced by new ones. They’re OK now, so we can use our old camper again for a nice vacation ! new sleeves needed, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

  • renew the brakes

    We had to renew the brakes of our Citroên AX. One of the cylinders was leaking.
