Sverige, igårkväll.

Holy crap! Why is it that every time I plan a roadtrip, it is the season of the long, dark snowy nights. Don't get me wrong, I'm not shy of long and dark at night, but it should be hot (and female). But snow? Please no!
By the way aren't those the wrong taillights for a splitrutta?

Macho Macho Man

Now this one was just to gay to not show to you. It is proof to me that wheather can be wonderfull in Sweden, although I've only been so stupid to always travel during the wintermonths. Surfs Up in the Baltic sea.

The Svensk are coming!

The Dutch have one great advantage over us southerners. Scandinavia is so much closer! I got this picture from an avid Svenska Bubbla visitor in Holland. It's his spankin' brand new ride, straight of the hauler out of Sweden. For more pictures of this car, but most of all for more very nice pictures of Bubblas in general visit Johans Blog.

By the way, this could as well be even further up north, as they do like it colourfull up there. Perhaps so you wouldn't hit their homes in the white winter wonderland.

Rallycross

Rallycross still seems big in Sverige, on a regular base you get these for sale on the main car sites over there. Im not to sure on how and where they drive, but considering the square, slick-like tires all around it wouldn't be off-road now would it. This particular specimen looks quite solid, but I've seen cars battered and bruised, so I'm guessing it's a bit like banger-racing or French derby. By the way I found this by looking for a Porsche, probably thanks to the tabletop spoiler out back.

But as proven before with other examples of Sandloppas, the Svensk are good in doing it off-road too in full on Mad Max mobiles. No need for the sophisticated rails with paddle wheels, more at home in Glamis. No, these are truly the "racers of the corn".

Picture perfect

As found and ripped from U-buy.se, an old Swedish postcard. It would be so nice to receive this in my mailbox. So, if any Sweet Swede reads my blog, and I know you do, get out a pen and send a nice one to Dr. Jeckill and Mr. Stripe, Filips de Goedekaai 65, Motorschip Suzanne, 9000 Gent, Belgium. It doesn't really have to show old Volkswagens, if it's a nice picture of your long, tall and blonde Valkyrie, it's Okay by me.

A Wolff in sheepsclothing

This might well be the best use for a Volvo ever. It's like the car every young driver should have had. The more you crash it and lose bodypanels, the nicer it gets, as more and more of the bug inside is revealed. And by the time you are an A+ driver, your have one perfect bubbla left, Scandinavian common sense.

OBS : in my case I should better drive like that for the rest of my life.
