After some time overseas, I'm finally home again. During my weeks abroad I did enjoy my 10th anniversary as a cruising driver at Classic Car Week in Rättvik. I posted some 2 dozen new pics at Webshots http://rides.webshots.com/album/560898566bZfgxh

At Paris CDG airport there was a suspected bomb threat, and the police and some military guys cleared the place in a few minutes. It was a small black bag that someone had forgotten, containing no bomb, so everything was back to normal after about 15 minutes! But it was a bit scary anyway...
About an hour later when I went through security before boarding to Johannesburg, my carry on luggage raised suspicions... as always! I had to unpack it, taking away all electronic stuff like an external Hard Disk, a GPSr etc. etc. But it came out from the X-ray machine and the security was not happy about it...
So I had to unpack it again... Finally they asked me if I kept a scissors in the bag, and then I remembered that I put a set of surgical instruments (scissors, clamps, surgical knife handles without a blade). But fortunately my stethoscope was also there, so they asked me if I am a medical doctor. They wanted me to show proof of that, which I couldn't find. Thought it was in the big suitcase. But luckily they let my instruments through anyway, which I think was quite exceptional! They probably thought that a person planning to high-jack an airplane wouldn't have a stethoscope!
No pictures this time, but there will be more pictures soon!
