Had a wonderful guided tour yesterday at the London Transport Museum at Acton.

It was so cool to finally get to see inside this amazing warehouse of all things transport in London.

This occasion nope, it was just to cover the first part of someone’s job. The main second part was covered by someone else as it fished after my hours.

What's the best way to get to a major car-event? By train!

Thanks to great efforts of the Dutch Railways (NS), which ran a train every 5 minutes, last weekend thousands of Formula 1 fans were able to travel to Zandvoort for the Dutch Grand Prix in a sustainable way.
