And your geopolitics news. The rides of world leaders, for instance. All very interesting stuff that made me love your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-60092700720894485762013-05-21T10:38:20.112-07:002013-05-21T10:38:20.112-07:00Thanks for putting me in the list!

I check back several times a day, every day, the only site I check on the weekend.<br /><br />Like Zack said, you're a big inspiration, and instrumental in me getting a toe in the a door to my dream career. Thanks for all the great advice, too. Hope to meet you someday so I can thank you in person.<br /><br />Don't ever stop.<br /><br />P.S.

And yours is on top of them.<br /><br />I don't remember when and why I discovered your blog first. But I was surprised that there is a blogger who is interested in cars and my country at the same time.<br /><br />Would love to have some cool caption as well.<br />Perhaps " whose mother drives Nissan Juke Turbo" or "who has a friend working in Pininfarina". <br />I don't have any interesting achievements myself as of now as I am just an university student.<br />Sancheznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-65785161999000398212013-05-20T09:17:20.893-07:002013-05-20T09:17:20.893-07:00I can't remember how I first landed here but I...I can't remember how I first landed here but I shared your interest in travel, cars, geopolitics, etc. so I keep coming back. It's the only blog I comment on, thinking about it. atm I have 4 cars (3 too many), an Alfa Milano (for sale m4ff3w), 89 eMR2 EV conversion, 2012 LEAF and a Mazda5. My blog's at turanga.com/blog.

I think my first visit was when I stumbled upon your post about Karl Lagerfeld's BMW and I too have been coming back ever since. There's not a single subject you write about that doesn't interest me and even though I rarely comment on the geopolitical stuff I do enjoy it too. Keep up the good work! I hope you haven't given up on writing the book. <br /><br />P.S. My eternal project is on an indefinite hiatus due to... life, but it hasn't been forgotten about.Edvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044614032515406724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-19495118169438258002013-05-20T07:04:51.661-07:002013-05-20T07:04:51.661-07:00@Ozmac: Thanks!

It's become a routine, and it helps when I know there are people out there checking daily.

Thanks you! <br /><br />I can't remember how I found your blog all those years ago, but I remember the post that bought me here, it was about Mil-spec version of the Mercedes G-Class. I kept poking around and loved what I found. I've been coming back ever since. <br /><br />I cite you and and a couple of others as big factors that got me writing and blogging.

I'm looking at either a Mustang or Camaro... Big & heavy I know. But I've never had a V8 car and they're the best bargains out there. Also I'm still young enough where it's not a "mid-life" crisis purchase. With the right options package they also handle pretty well for their size.F1Outsidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-21919758172821052752013-05-19T11:44:29.253-07:002013-05-19T11:44:29.253-07:00Yes, at one time.
