Road Trippin'

If you've noticed there has been a lack of posts this week it's because I have been on an epic road trip with my man, Jit.

It started from Brussels where we hopped in the BMW M3 and descended through Luxembourg to Lyon, France.
Lyon is a great city. I highly recommend it - cool vibe, beautiful architecture, nice food, and fresh shops. We spent one night there then it was on to the south - Toulon.

We stopped off at Le Pradet where I lived for a couple of years - and it was f*cking roasting, but brilliant. So many great memories from that place.

My homie Mo put us up for the night in his lovely apartment in the old town on La Garde - up a winding little street opposite the church. So Mediterranean. Hit the town and had a few drinks with old friends in the evening.
The next day we went to Monaco. Again it was red hot. The city was gearing up for the royal wedding but that didn't discourage the hordes of wealthy middle-aged men coming to town to flex in their super cars. Everything from Bentleys, AMG Mercs, Lambos and Cayenne Murons... You name it.

Ridiculous.

That night we stayed at Mo's new place - that he had literally signed the contract for that day with his girl Rach - in Nice. Another attractive Provençal city that is brimming with some of the most beautiful girls I think I have ever seen.

The next day we got up and missioned it all the way back to the start point in one go. Damn.
Once back in BXL we had a well deserved Durum then hit the sack. Next stop - Manchester, UK.

Hit the Eurotunnel and drove all the way up north to where I am blogging from now.

Total: 6 days - 1,965 kilometres.

EPIC.

Thanks to everyone along the way.

And I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends in Manchester.

The M-Trey

On my recent trip to the UK, I hooked up to my man in Manchester. He took me to the BMW dealership. He told me we were there to see the 1 series he had just copped. I was excited at the prospect. Once we got there I couldn't help but scope out some of the other awesome rods on offer. By far the illest there was this metallic blue M3. Then I noticed it said "SOLD" in the window. No surprise there - until I realised the name next to it was my man's!

Daaaaaaamn.

Turns out he'd copped the M3 for his ma-duke's birthday [now if that's not pure class, I don't know what is]. I just hope one day I will have that kind of doh.
The whip is off the scale. Optioned out: gray leather interior, iDrive system, carbon fiber roof... the list goes on. Shit is rapid too - like 0 to 100km in 4.2seconds.Delimited this ting will hit nearly 300km! Nuts.
Not only that but this particular model was built for the Managing Director of BMW M3. Yup. So it's full of extra details that no other M3 has. One of which is the fact that EVERYTHING on the car is painted metallic blue and polished. Even the chassis under the car and in the engine.

Madness.
Shouts to my homie... He hustles mad hard for this and deserves it.
