Don’t go home early

We left the office early, but still did not make it to be home in time early… We got a flat tire, when we were almost home! With no spare tyre (thanks Mr Ford) and a real puncture (two big holes), we had to call a tow truck to bring us to a Michelin tire-fitter. We needed to dig to our last bits of cash (no creditcard payment…) but we’ve got a brand new Italian made tire again. Should we go check if they have a spare tyre for an S-max available??

We did not have this one yet!

After a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, we now also have a Maybach in our garage:

40000km

We just did not make it in the morning, by the time I parked the car at Philips it had driven 39.999km. So at night, on Yishan Rd, half way between Philips and Starbucks, it finally reached the 40.000km milestone. We drove 40dkm in 21 mths, so need to adjust the assumption a bit: We will reach 100dkm in 4 years, so 27 months to go…
