This is the end.
My only friend, the end.
After giving it some thought over the past few weeks (you probably noticed it), it saddens me to tell you that Good Old Valves is coming to an end.
I’ve had very little time for the blog and my petrolheaded life, which is now maybe less than 1% of my life. I want to write each post feeling like I actually want to write it, take some pleasure out of it, and this hasn’t happened for quite a while - it has become sort of an obligation.
So, about three and something years later, this is it. I won’t shut down the blog, I still think there’s some awesome content in the archives (yes, modesty is one of my qualities, clearly) to be explored. Also, I’ll still be around Tumblr; creeping on your posts and nagging you when you least expect it :) so it’s not like I’m going away.
Hopefully I’ll return to being active around here, maybe with something related with wheels, maybe not. Meanwhile, you can follow me on my other *almost personal* Tumblr, Sessions of Light.
To everyone I’ve met around here, thank you for everything. I’ve learned so much, met many wonderful people.
Next week I’ll be around Copenhagen (Denmark) and Malmo (Sweden), so drop me a message if you’re nearby (or just to tell me where I should go!)
See you soon.
Ricardo Magalhães.

Could you set something up to go through the archives, keep things ticking over for those of us who only started following recently?
