Long time no blog,
For good reason, I’ve been a traveling and busy…
So last week was obviously SEMA if you have oil in your veins like most everybody that’s reading this…
BUT right before SEMA I ventured to Jakarta, Indonesia AKA The Big Durian for the 1st ever Formula Drift Indonesia round of the SE Asia Formula Drift Championship….
Yep, I carry on even when I fly International, that way no chance of losing my sweet Incipio luggage…
Check the INCIPIO goods, Expat backpack, Weekender bag, f38 headphones, feather case on iPod and Kickstand case on the iPad…
