Snow is coming...
Hi there everyone
Since i live in a cold country with a lot of snow during winters i find it difficult coaping(?) without driving my corvette. But then i saw this old movie-clip from the 80´s  And i thought hehe it can be fun without my vette... at least i can survive until spring comes. So this winter i´ll be having fun with my old volvo instead

Running with the pack can be fun. But I agree - I'd leave the Vette home for this one.

Okay, that sucks. You can see that the blue one is driven by a woman with a nice leg, hand, and wicked nails, but the video stops JUST as they're getting out...

Snow is coming?! It's already here!
We got a blast of it Sunday here in Colorado. Not being a Volvo owner, and as 67 points out, not having any Volvo songs to listen to, I'll sit out the Volvos as snowmobiles contest.
I'm just glad that I've already got my winter escape planned, or I might be in need of some of Remo's winter meds.

Oh, that letter. Sorry- I never sent it. Got sidetracked earlier this year with planning Cruisefest, and then forgot about it.

Frisk: the weather, scenery, along with the flora and fauna is about the same here. I haven't had the occasion to elude a moose, but I have tracked and conquered many a Volvo to date!
Winter is coming and it sucks, but you either learn to enjoy it or move south, in your case Denmark.
I'm putting my Vette on ice (pardon the phrase) after this week, since it's no fun driving in circles with logging trucks on the ice-caked two-lanes around here. A little glug and schnapps and an attractive blond helps more than you may know-but I think you do...
The only way to look at it is that those of us who don't get to drive our Vettes all winter long appreciate what we have more than those who do get to drive 'em year 'round. At least that's what I tell myself in between shots of glug and schnapps!!

I agree with you about appreciate our cars a lot when we so seldom can drive them.
Moving south will have to be in my case (maybe for all swedes) to south of Europe. But since we have a big culture-crash there it´s difficult to choose where to move hehe. Turkie and Italy is a big NONO cause we think of them like thirdworld-countries. Same with spain a little but they are nicer people hehe.... (My sister lives there so ofcource  )
France is toping the list of lousy country which leaves us with Greece. Lovely people but but.... hmm.. I´ll have to sit this winter out i quess.
Ich bleibe einfach liegen as Rammstein sings hehe
Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden are the same. The swedes are better in all ways ofcource hahaha
I hope i have made someone upset now  so we can have a friendly argument

Nope, you missed us.
I have an offer for you: Sell me your Vette ( for a reasonable price of course  ) and i'll keep it here over the winter. I promise i'll take her out once in a while in our cold, but snow free country side and keep her warm..

With winter comes the time to go to the local casino to beat the rubes at Texas Hold'em and then I can say: "Fye faen va bra rumpa kort du hadde!" Chumps!!
