Benjamin's garage

[bahadir]

My brother in law, Benjamin, has recently moved from the States to settle in Izmir, Turkey: )Having won many awards asa motorracer and running his own businessthere, he opened a garage in the nearby town of Izmir, Urla!

Here are some of the pics. I shoton the opening day. All handheld and straight from the camera.

Update: I'm afraid I wrote San Francisco at the description by mistake! It should be San Diego:angry:About 500 miles of difference I suppose, whichlooks smallerwhen observedfrom here:G

All good and interesting shots, like the close up of the food table, okay I just like the food. :?:GDo really like the last shot of the little boy eyeing the small motorcycle, lets get them started young.:GLooks like your brother in law is off to a great start in his business. He has more nerve than me, to not only pick up and start his shop all over again but to do it in a completely different country.

Thank you for yourcheering comment : ) You have good taste, my friend, for the food you see is all homemademade by my wife, Benjamin's wife (my sister in law)and his mother (who also moved here to Turkey selling her house there)!Actually,Benjaminreally needed every piece ofnerve you spoke of while moving all his equipment in containers from the States, dealing with custom issues and permissions herefor starting a business, etc,which proved that he's agreat entrepreneur! As a professional racer, he's also planning to participate the motor races here!

Now, as for my little boy eyeing the small motorcycle; he has always been more interested in motorbikes than cars and he eventually rode it that day! Oh! thanks god its speed limit can be adjusted
