Sweden - Spring Events Pictures

[Parky]

Didn't make it to Eskiltuna and sadly haven't seen as much tat as I was hoping but I do have a few spots I will upload when I get home later today.

 

I read the local papers about the car attacks in Malmo, it seems two guys were doing it and one has been caught in the act (the other escaped but the Fuzz say they know who it is) so that's something. Horrendous thing to happen, even if you are insured to the eyeballs it's still an arseache sorting out hire cars, disposal of the wreck, cleaning up melted plastic, etc. And that's before you stop to consider that some people love their cars and will have the emotional side to deal with too.

[Parky]

Nope, I have seen pics from the Saab museum and it looks fantastic!

 

Is it just me or is "The Saint" logo a bit camp? It has a very "shut that door" attitude (UK viewers of a certain age will understand where I am coming from). I can't help but feel the stick man should have been in more of a Karate kick type pose but maybe I should get out more as I really shouldn't have time to ponder shit like this!

Some spots

 

No idea what this is. Badge said FRAM but I cant find anything about it on the interweb (after looking for at least 90 seconds). Anyway, old plastic 50s car..

I'm guessing that Volvo up top is powered by a wood burner, due to the bags of wood on the roof...

[Junkman]

Wood gasifier. Any internal combustion engine can run on wood gas.

I thought they were bags of potatoes, but I guess wood makes more sense

Top of the page: An American Metropolitan would be a Nash, not an Austin.

 

Just read the whole thing - Sweden looks ace.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Damn. I could do with visiting Sveden. Are older cars silly money?

[Squire_Dawson]

Nab the Electra!

[Inspector Morose]

Sweden from the uk is now a bit of a trek now there are no direct car ferries to either Denmark or Sweden. But, if you have chance, you must go.

[STUNO]

Volvo....Sweden

 

 

Kaiser....USA

 

 

 

May be some badge engineering in there somewhere.

 

 

 

 

[UmBongo]

Didn't make it to Eskilstuna. Hope you did Parky

 

Here in Malmo, summer is still here, the sun is out, so what can a poor boy do? No, not sing for a rock n roll band, but go around setting fire to parked cars during the night. Yes its car burning season again. Victims include a Sierra and Volvo 740. Sad, especially if they were your daily drivers and now you've got to piss about with the insurance. The police say it may be suspicious...mind you they say that after gangland shootings as well

On the plus side, someone has bought a Routemaster bus and is driving it round the city. Having a Routemaster would be on my bucket list above bungee jumping or swinmming with dolphins.

Car burning is a fairly recent phenomenon in Sweden. I wonder why?

[Matt]

I love the verity of stuff you see over there, Keep them coming!

[mk2_craig]

Some prime chod right there, I'd have thought stuff would've lasted even less well than in Scotland! Good to see that's not the case.

 

What's the script with registration marks, do they follow any age or area patterns, or is it random?

[Uncle Jimmy]

Great thread this, keep em coming!

[chaseracer]

If only we'd remembered you live in Malmo when we were there in March, on the way to the Volvo and Saab museums!

[danthecapriman]

Christ, that Bedford camper is brilliant. What a brute it looks!

 

More please!

[bramz7]

I love seeing old stuff in Italy, the old plates are perfect.

 

I've seen a few Clubmans in Rome over the years, makes a change from all the MK1 Pandas.....

[stillOrange]

I hope you don't mind me adding few spots I caught during my holidays in Sweden?

 

Also looks like I might be joining AS Swedish population in next 12 months...

[stillOrange]

Likely Orebro or Karlstad area. We will see

[stillOrange]

Lund is an option but we both prefer it in Varmlands.

 

I'll add my spots tomorrow as I can't make Flickr to work for me today.

[Junkman]

 

It's just one of 484 ever made '57 Letter Series 'verts in Gauguin Red, that's all.

[Junkman]

You were at the hallowed place?

 

My envy will follow you for a while.

[chaseracer]

In March, FPB7 and I spotted one of these atop a parking garage next to the Euroway Hotel in Gothenburg...

 

[RobT]

This is a brilliant thread and deserves a bump. Makes me want to do a Scandinavian road trip!

[chodweaver]

Being availing myself of all the chod you've spotted, having not found this thread before.

 

Brilliant, just brilliant. The first batch of pics from the scary scrapyard are some of the most beautiful I've seen.

Got to admit. I always associated "north" with "rust". Great to see all these old heaps surviving up there!

[lisbon_road]

Lots of HA Vivas and lots of HC Vivas?  Really?  Last place in the world then!

[mk2_craig]

Not sure about the Irish reg, isn't there always a Z or an I (or both) ?

 

Weeds find, VW K70 by any chance?

[Asimo]

+1 for the wreck in the weeds being a K70.
