Welcome for the forum Oscar!

Thanx for the warm welcome everybody!

We have summer here now, and for a couple of weeks we had constant sun and 25-30 degrees celsius every day.
After a few days rain, we now have about 20-23c and some sun on and off.


Maybe I should audition as a wheater-girl?


See you!

Where abouts in Sweden are you?

I had a week in Stockholm in 2007, and absolutely loved it - cold for a few days, then spectacular for the rest of the week - I really enjoyed walking around the city and seeing the royal palace, opera house and the rest of the architecture!

That was in early August I think. Being there in the middle of winter wouldn't be much chop though - damned cold (though better in Stockholm than further north!).

Stockholm is really nice, Ive only been there once though.
I live in a city called Helsingborg, Sweden's sixth or seventh biggest city, the town is a harbour-city in the south of Sweden.
(The strait between Helsingborg and Denmark is only 8km wide.)

The winters in the south of Sweden is crapy, salt on the roads, rain/wet snow, windy and 0-2 degrees.
I personally enjoy taking a Ski-vacation in the winter to the north of Sweden, where the wheater normally is -5 to -10 degrees and 2 meters of powder-snow in the terrain. Great skiing...

We dont have polarbears on the streets though.....

Helsingborg by summer:

Viem from the old castle, "Kärnan". In the horizon you can see Denmark.

Nice photos! Sweden is one of the many places on my long list of places I want to visit one day!

Don't worry, we don't have kangaroo's as pets. Much

Haha, but I hope everyone is dressed like Crocodile Dundee?

Here are some pics of my plans for the car, im trying to get my hands on the OZ Ultraleggera in RED. Race race race.....





I also have a 1980's Volvo 240 that I do a little racing with a couple of times a year, this picture is from the last race in may this year:

wow, very nice photos!! We only get Polo GTIs in 3 door versions. You should come to perth one day, our winters are almost as warm as your summers

Thank you! The Polo is more common in 4d here actually...
I've always been a big fan of the Ultraleggeras, but never haved them on any of my cars, so I'm saving like a squirrel to afford them to this car.

Thanx for the invitation, I actually have some family-friends in Christchurch, NZ, so maybe I'll make a pitstop in Perth when I go visit them.

welcome to our first Sweedish member!

I'm very jealous of the weather you have over there at the moment.

I've heard that Sweeden and Australia are quite similar from Sweedish friends of mine, would really like to go someday!

Yes, I think so too, the difference would maybe be our less impresive outback..
You're welcome to sleep on my couch....
