I want to report that I am seldomn an angry person, but for the last days I have been.

At no 1 ! But still 'angry' - about having driven past Turnhout yesterday morning, enroute the the Coresendonk Barrista Training-Center, where I had a nice (long) relaxing meeting with the Wine, Coffee & hopefully soon Grappa Manager - StevenJaansen - & then (having to) driving back across the border for a meeting at the Nuernbergring & not visiting any of you !!!!!!!!! Rats !!!!!!!!!!!

Now you understand why I was angry.

However, getting off the A'bahn & driving on the narrow, wet Landstrasse to the Ring (as more or less 'slow-safe speeds) was a lot of fun in a Gamma!

No trucks in front of me & no one on my bumper trying to pass

However, I was also very happy (which is a better mood to be in than being angry), because my Gamma ran like a new car.

I told Steven he would have to have me back again,. But next time I'll definatley add a few hours / days to the trip - so I can see (American English) Ya'all soon !!!!

It means that there was a Gamma within the perimeter of 3 companies away from my desk?
No passing by?
That hurts!
So, soon we can buy 'Grappa di distilleria Trentina' in our local supermarkets and drink centers?
NICE!
So, don't be angry and pass by next time!

well, that is really rather stupid - to be within a stones throw of you & not know it.
The eve before BE I was with my NL partner, celebrating his birthday & planning the next 20 years of NL business, until 0300 in the morning...It wasn't very far from BE, so It was an easy drive to Stevens office.

My few functioning brain-cells were tunnel-focused on the meeting; then getting to the N'brgring Meeting, getting back here, preparing for Basel trade-fair - starts tomorrow - .....then on Tuesday proceeding on to the final South Swiss / N Italy trip of 2007. So, even if I had advance planned better ; I wouldn't have had time to get to everyone & enjoy life.

Actually, I enjoy what I'm doing...if I could figure out how to get rich doing it, I'd be happier.

I'd still drive a Gamma & a Fulvia. Not a Ferrari & an Aston.
