    I'm not sure it could go as an Event, I'm a bit scared of this "new" Hamb layout.
    Anyway I thought this could be worth sharing.
    we are a small group that meet first Friday in the month for a after work coffee meeting.
    And to soon it was time to go home. So off we went,
    Turn up the sound and enjoy.

    Good I hope I never grow up :) ;)

  11. Hot rodders in Sweden get together on Friday after work and drink COFFEE? It may be a cultural thing, but it would never go down like that in the USA.

    Agreed, it does sound kinda wierd, but what you have to appreciate is that Sweden has a virtually zero tolerance to dui. More than the faintest trace of booze in the blood gets you a month in the slammer, along with fines and licence suspension. The uk is going down that road gradually too. Taking responsibility for ones own actions here has been taken over by the state, in this and so many other ways.

    was that 120 mph or kph?
    also, what size tires(tyres) and wheels is the 3w running? They look like 16's

  18. The trip home looks like fun!:)

    In the United States could learn a lot from Sweden's zero tolerance attitude against DUI.

    My daughter was hit head on by a drunk 18 years ago and due the severe head trauma she is unable to live a normal life.. HRP

    Its 120kph but my speedo is 10kph low so its 130kph according to a GPS. My engine has new pistons in it and 4,11 in the rear so I will not lean on it to much yet.
    The wheels are homemade he cast his own centers , and the used aluminium rims and welded them together.
    I think they are 15" at least in the front, I will check next time I see him.

    You can drink 33cl 3,5% beer and keep the license,. But who want o drink only one beer?? :)
    0,1mg Alcohol give you a fine and can give you prison up to 6 Month's, And the licence is suspended 12 to 24 months, and you need to take a new drivers license test.
    0,5mg Alcohol render prison time up to two years (if you hit one and kill him/her , you get prison up to 6 years).
    And you loose your license for 2 years
    So we go home and leave the car and start drinking a bit later.
     
  21. A Volvo in Sweden... I don't believe it. :D

    Great video, that is the best part of having these cars, and look you don't need to drink to have fun. Thanks for sharing.
