Big toys for big boys

Recent pictures, the Pete I'm enjoying so much, my "new" Subaru, and my Mama posing proudly by my rig.

Remember my old Prelude?

Well, here are some pics of what has become of it. It has gone to a better life, enjoying stock car racing. It was completely dismantled and turned into an empty can with wheels, and an engine, of course. For any more pics and videos, check out www.j3motorsports.jacermedia.com, or search j3motorsports at youtube.

Dream Pete!!

I write this short post so you can see what my new truck looks like... Change of plans, I get to keep this brand-spanking new 2009 Peterbilt 387 with an ISX Cummings 470hp, and an Eaton Fuller 13. The trailer is also mine to keep, an also brand-spanking new 2009 Great Dane with a Carrier reefer.
Hope you like it!

Visiting TRUCK WORLD in Toronto

The truck show in Toronto wasn't as big as I thought it would be. There were hardly any trucks, the big names had a very small presence. Probably the biggest in the show was Freightliner, who had half a dozen class 8 tractors, most of which are old models and outdated, like the Classic or the Columbia. But they had their trucks looking great, all colors matching.
Peterbilt had a sad truck exposition, not even the 387 was there, and the trucks they did have were dull in comparison to the Montreal show I had been some time ago.
International could have been better, and with so much talk about their new LoneStar, which, if you ask me, is the coolest looking truck in the world (and I'm a Pete fan), they only had one LoneStar to show. The size of their stand was small, and obviously it was full of people, and it was friday.
So, unable to take a decent foto, I managed to get these on the web. I hope you enjoy it.

Now to some of the "normal" trucks...

Freightliner Cascadia and International ProStar

Classic trucks display, GMC and International. Imagine driving one of those now?

This Kenworth was tuned by the Chrome Shop Mafia, and is part of the Castrol display.

Awesome Pete, its decoration inspired in the movie "The Gambler" with Kenny Rogers.

CHILLIN' IN MARBELLA

Greetings from Marbella! As you can see, I am finding ways to enjoy this tough trucking in Spain. I have to say that sipping cold beer and soaking up sun is the best way to spend a day off, and I have to tell you I didn't have a camera with me while enjoying a Tapa session in a Vasque Tasca in "La Canada" in Marbella, where I managed to park the truck for the weekend. Or watching the Manchester-Liverpool game in a british bar along with a bunch of Manchester fans. Good thing "we" won them!


Wish you were here...

Trip to Milano, Italy

Between Nice and Genova, following the coast line on the autostrada.

Following Maria (the gps) as she leads me through downtown Milano, on my way to the Mercato Ortifructicula. I decided (against my better judgement) to follow HER instructions instead of using the Tangenziale to bypass the city. Women...

On the road with "ANDERS VIKING"!! Again...

Once again, Anders Viking and Roger Trucker hit the road together, Barcelona-Alicante-Paris-Barcelona. Cooking for two.

Other than that, enjoyng the road as always, awsome weather in Europe, no snow to speak of (eh, Javi...), my jacket is bored, I'm getting a tan in febuary!

Anders Viking, wishing he could drive...

12am... me wishing Anders Vikning could drive!
