we presume that the previous owwner actually had his latte spilled while trying to negotiate in "Nürburg-Ring"

BTW Nürburgring is a motorsport complex was built around the village of Nürburg, Germany. A Grand Prix race track..

it was a great challenge to bring back this ride to pristine, so much so mentally is always at the test, pushes to every limit

both physical & emotional is stressed out + cracking is just a thin line in between, struggles with hungry & fatigue



Nothing is more challenging than the inner man fight - putting behind literary everything & just to get this job done,

I had every reason to stay home and be with my family!!! Many thanks to my wonderful beloved wife for her understanding & supports

Thank you for 4 little cards both my daughters make for me today - the most wonderful father day i ever had- You are my constant inspirations

I loves you





Went off at past midnight, had my dinner at 1.30 am & slept very little again - (only 2 nights ago) did the Eclass
