Going out with Rich



On February 8, 2009, Rich first commented on my blog. It was about a Peugeot 604 that I spotted and photographed with my Motorola Razr.

We met for lunch soon thereafter and the rest is history. Yesterday, we went out to lunch to celebrate ten years of friendship, in his Honda Beat!




And here's a retrospective of co-piloting with Rich during all those Anti-Football Runs on January 1.

2011(?): Modified BMW E9

2012: Alfa GTV6

2013: M5

2014: 1981 Honda Accord

2015: 1988 Porsche 911

2016: Citroen XM

Thanks, man!

Documentary on driving in Papua New Guinea

This series is amazing. I've watched PNG, Congo, and Philippines already today.

Let's see what's going on in Hong Kong

A fireman got mad at the police for firing a tear gas canister at his truck.
