Snow in Gran Canaria

So after all there was no way for me to go up into the mountains with my family to meet the snow this year... a pitty :(
So here is a picture I took from a newspaper. Maybe we can go another day...
If you are here in GC and are gong to the snow send me some pics and I can post them here :)

Snow in Gran Canaria!

It's cold! And it's not only my impression but many people have told me that it's unusually cold for Gran Canaria. Last night we got minus degrees for the first time this year, in the mountains, of course ;)

I started working this morning at 4 and we had 12 degrees Celsius in Puerto Rico; very low for this part of the island!
Now it's about 8 o'clock and we only have 14 degrees.

Maybe I can do a little trip this afternoon and drive ti the mountains to take a look around ;)

Porsches for Journalists

Today I met 2 german guys at the airport when I was waiting for my customers to arrive. They had a Porsche sign so I thought I go and ask about all the Porsches driving around in GC.
They were very kind and told me that Porsche has invited some journalists to test the new 911. So for the next weeks they will be driving around and writing their thoughts about the new 911... That'll be fun :)

Lots of Porsches in Gran Canaria!!

Last few days I've noticed that there are quite a bunch of brand new Porsches with german number plates driving around here on Gran Canaria. Are they taking advantage of the weather over here to test their cars? Would be nice to take a trip in one of those new 911 ;=)

100.000 km mark reached

Ok, It's been about 6 month that we started working with the "new" car and we just reached the 100.000 km mark yesterday. Not bad considering there is not that much work for the taxi these days. Hopefully we get busy over Christmas :)

Injector Failure :(

Too bad... today we started having an injector failure: When you turn the key the engine does not start immediately. We had to leave the car running all the time just in case it doesn't start again :(
Replacement is on it's way... We'll probably need to change all the injectors in no time.

Taxi prices raised....

We've been advised that we have to go to change the clock settings of the taxi because the prices are going to be raised. It's not much and it's only for trips using the fare "3". What they're going to change is the distance you have before the clock starts moving. It used to give 2 km once the fare was set and now it's been lowered to 1,2 km. This will add from 0,60€ to about 1€ (depending on the time) to the final price.
