Datsun (for Koen)

When Koen and Josie were here, Koen was showing clear signs of a Datsun fixation. We're talking about the car here. This morning on our way to work we were stopped right behind one and noticed it was called "Nissan Datsun". Rumours had it that today's Nissan car company used to be Datsun but that's only partly true. According to this Wikipedia article, the Datsun car (or actually Datson) Was originally manufactured by a company called DAT. In 1933, DAT was acquired by Nissan who renamed the car from Datson to Datsun.

There you go, your bit of car history du jour.

Lunch.

Looking down King William Street from Victoria Square.

Last week one of my computer screens died and today my replacement came in. They are just getting bigger and bigger.

@ Kees: Nah, my desk is fine. Plenty of room.
