elwesso- Thanks man! hehe I like some swedish cars as well but not my SAAB 900 from -87 I drive in the winters!! It`s difficult to find o slower car than that junk but it`s cheap to own...What swedish car model do you like?That`s a good idea but I dont know any trustworthy person in the US. I havent met the snowmobile dealer either and cant trust him if I order parts to him... He could might as well keep the parts and tell me he haven`t got any parts... I will not take that chance..

hehe ok! here`s my car but I dont have picture`s on swedish ladies, yet

gabossie- hehe you know the "golden rule" right? M3Racer- oh I`m flattered I havent wrote or spoke english since gymnasium! Bit rusty yet..

Mr1der- English is our second language in Sweden from fifth grade to gymnasium.English grammar is much easier than swedish grammar and I had much easier to learn the english grammar in school than the swedish..Like you say (Mr1der). We`re growing up and speak the dialect we are used to do and try to relearn it in school. That was my problem in school =)I dont know that word but some countries translate english/american movies to their language and I dont mean in text!They must have problem with english cause they dont hear is often..



sean8564- Thanks! Is your aftername Bergstroe(ö)m? saw it on you email

Tommy, your English is very good (better than many native speakers!)

Perhaps you can help us expand our horizons here - Tell us more about the automotive landscape of Sweden (what cars are popular, which are hard to find or rare)....

AZhitman- I have already said thanks so often now but thanks!!

Yes I can tell you a bit more of our car culture but not right now.. will do it tomorrow -it`s to late and I have to go to bed *zzzz* By the way I wrote to "Swedish Mike" from the thread you showed me. I asked him a few questions but in swedish so I can understand him a bit more.

AZhitman- You didnt give me a easy task to do, dont know where to begin But here`s Swedens car culture!

the most sold car in sweden is Volvo and Saab and you can see those cars everywhere..the station wagons is very popular to own here..I think Saab 9-5 stationwagon is the best lookin car among the stationwagons.. 9-3 sportcombi next

But now to the fun parts! Of course is Nissan s13 and s14 very popolar car here. CA18DET is standard in s13 and s14 SR20DET.s13 is pretty cheap to buy and popular for the youths who dont have much money..

We have much Skylines here now and all of them is imported, most of them is just GT/s models but there are some R:s as well

All Volvo models are popular from youth to old man.. Volvo is pretty cheap to buy performance parts and styling

BMW M3 is not ordinary here Audi s2 has been popular in the last years cause of the AWD. That thanks from Subaru GT models!Audi RS models are rareA really nice Mercedes AMG is hard to findIn "For sales" magasines you can find many fine Corvette for sale and are popular among older people (I want to own one before I die!)

Sweden also have much veteran cars from the -30:s till -70:s! most of them havent seen rain on 20 years..

If you come to car meet in Sweden by night and let say you can see 10 cars -4 of them are Volvo (threw my eyes, just CRAP), 2 M3, 2 Silvia, 1 Civic type-r and 1 CRX.

There are to much info I can write about this.. better if you ask me questions

I hope I gave you some good answer about us here..

I hear that cadillac's are really rare up there......

Have you seen many infininti's? Im sure a RWD car with crappy gas mileage is not a real good car to own up there.

You`re right! Cadillac`s are pretty rare here.

Think I only have seen two Infinite`s on the roads here so they are even more rare hehe they`re not good to own at all, I think

we have a lot of Fords but no one want to buy one..

I dont think that we have Buick any more, in the 80:s the vans were popular..

But Chevrolet and Chrysler are popular

Talk Dutch in Sweden... Many, many, many years ago we had a brave king. This king had balls of steel, he started war´s all over Europe and Germany was actually Swedish for a while.

Ah, ok. My friend had one like that, same rim model and all.

Don´t talk tent´s with the US guys, I tried to explain the perfect thing with trailers (husvagn) hen you are out camping at races and party´s.They called me trailer trash, only poor guys in USA use trailer, bla, bla...

By the way, visit LA. God.... Heaven on earth... SP Engineering, my favourite tuning company.Really nice guys and a FEW nice engines and cars, Lambo, Ferrari, Supra and more in the workshop.
