Dreaming…. Again!
It’s funny where you end up when you’re out driving your favorite car. I can think of dozens of times over the years that I’ve been out exploring the backroads in Minnesota when all of the sudden I come through a set of turns that open up to a beautiful sunset or lake and the [...] [...more]

The Campmobile Rides Again!

Blazing Through Fall In A 1969 Porsche
There’s a reason aircooled cars love the Minnesota air. It’s cool, fresh and crisp. The car feels happier here. I had this Porsche in Florida for quite a while and it just wasn’t right. Stop and go, stop and go, people everywhere! That’s not motoring to me. I finally couldn’t take it anymore. I adjusted [...] [...more]

How It All Started
The Motoring Journal started long before I ever sat behind the wheel of a car. Interesting enough, I knew nothing of The Motoring Journal until my purchase of a 1964 Karmann Ghia. You see, Since birth I’ve wanted nothing more than to be around, work on and photograph cars.
