A little update from behind the scenes!

Apparently some people think I’ve disappeared lately 😅 Quite the opposite — things have been extremely busy, and first of all, I’m incredibly grateful for that.

The amount of support, orders, projects and trust in Hummelink-Modifications has honestly been amazing.
Something most people probably don’t know: Hummelink-Modifications is still basically a one-man show. I often see “Team Hummelink” and get the impression there’s a whole team behind the company. I’ll take that as a compliment 😂

But for the most part, the webshop, workshop, orders, emails, product development, engine builds, packing and administration all end up with me.

The schedule has been very tight for quite some time. Unfortunately, that has meant some of you have waited longer than I’d like for an order, project or simply an email reply.

And to anyone I’ve kept waiting too long, replied to too late, or otherwise let down along the way — I genuinely apologize. Being busy doesn’t make a delay any less frustrating, and it’s something I really hate.

It’s a constant balance between answering everyone and actually getting the work done. Sometimes answering messages means falling behind in the workshop, and sometimes getting work finished means falling behind on messages.

I’m probably doing the work of three people at this point, which might explain the “team Hummelink” part 😅
I’d love to bring someone in full- or part-time, but the business simply isn’t quite there yet. Luckily, I have some great people helping me here and there, which I’m extremely thankful for.

So mostly, this is just a big thank you.
Thank you for the orders, projects, patience, recommendations and especially the trust in what I’m building.

I’m still here. Still building, developing, packing orders and answering emails — just occasionally a little further behind than I’d like. ❤️

Thank you for keeping this one-man team so damn busy.

@south.spirit weekender 2026.
My favorite weekend of the year.
Great roads, cheap gas, chilling with the homies
and some spirited driving through the mountains.

Wish we could do this every weekend.
For now, let's do it again next year!

Mostly shot on @fujifilmnederland X-T5 and
a few phone shots.

What a weekend!
Bbq on Saturday with the boys from @south.spirit (and @henri_na6 and @matvdoever ) and the @hummelink_modifications X @skidsntea trackday at @circuitmeppen on Sunday.
As always, the cars are cool but it's the people that made the weekend / event.
