I finished my exams

Last month I’ve been studying a lot for UNED’s access course that I started last year. I’ve made them reasonably well, although in spanish language I expected to get about an 8 –on an scale of 10– and I did get just 6.95. Anyway I’ve got 9 of 10 on both english and maths.

How an automobile differential works

A very important piece on modern automobiles is the differential, that’s needed to keep wheels running at different speeds when turning around the corner. But most people does not know how it works.

Suzuki SJ-410 on the snow

This is my Suzuki SJ410. I bought it on September/2008, it’s 23 years old, but it still runs very well. I’ve done more than 3000 kilometers since without important troubles, but last days it seems to be loosing coolant from somewhere.

Me and my dog on beach

Me and my dog in a beach called “La Ñora” near home, on December 2007. He’s a rottweiler but he is a bit scared with the water, even without soap! When it was just a puppy he falled into a lake because he was looking at the ducks swimming there, and then he was not [...]
