the redwood national park

a scenic drive through and a visit to the redwood national park / california

truck service / portland


After our alaska trip the atego was waiting for lubricate. And there were odd metal punches when we had hiden potholes. I searched the internet, found E & A Auto Repair, (they are doing service on european vehicles as well) and the good evaluation convinced me to choose this workshop and what can I say: Nazier Abuzied is a genius! Within seconds he had located the faults, fixed a few screws, cleaned all parts before he greased them again and checked everything. He even knew construction details of the atego which had evolved through the years, – although those vehicles are not available in north america.

Since 10 years Nazier is an american citizen. He was born and raised in the Sudan and in the age of 14 he owned his first car workshop. For some years he serviced the lamborghinis, bentleys and mercedes of the sheikhs before he founded his shop in Portland / Oregon. His perfect english is self taught and so is his technical knowledge . As I said, nazier is a genius!

mud bog race in fort nelson / 1


What do Canadians when the permafrost has melted? right – mud bogging. This is the modern version of rodeos, however with significantly more horsepowers. the sound of the engines is equally respected here as the color of exhaust gases. Who wins here is not so important, the jamboree is what counts.
