Hej sjÃ¤lv! (Hello your self)

I live in Spain now, in a city called Alicante, on the eastcoast.
I used to live in MalmÃ¶ and Karlskrona in Sweden before.
And you?

I visited Sweden about 10 years ago. Beautiful natural scenery and the cleanest major cities that I have ever seen. :bigscream I had a wonderful time and learned a few Swedish phrases.

Hope to be able to visit again in the future. Spain is also on my list of places to see (so many things to do, but so little money :lol). I live in the metropolitan New York City area right now.

Welcome to the City

Hi Robert - welcome to DC. I am a new member myself. Your car looks amazing - but won`t you get kicked out of the Swedish club for not driving a Volvo?

Spain sounds marvelous - I would love to visit there, but the Spaniards are still mad at us Canadians for stealing their fishing boats - some people just can`t take a joke!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome Robert. There`s always room for one more around here. Nice car you have there.

I`m not up on current models, but isn`t funny how even the Nissan`s look better in Europe? I was stationed in Germany for a while and noticed that the in-country vehicles always seemed to look better than the U.S. models that were shipped over to sell to the military folks. I never bought one of the U.S. versions for that reason and the European models cost too much to convert over to U.S. specs (to ship home). I just kept my 1976 BMW 316 (I swapped in an engine and transmission out of a 518, for what that`s worth) and sold it when right before I left.

I come from a long line of Nelson`s and Peterson`s. My dad, not swedish himself, always said that you can always tell a swede....but ya can`t tell`um much. I never liked dad.

Glad you`re here.

**warder** · 04-29-2004, 06:47 AM

Thanks for the replyes guys, I feel most welcome!

freedre: No, no problem driveing other cars then Volvo and Saab, Volvo is owned by Ford now and Saab by GM so they are not realy swedish anymore... Spain is nice, and I dont think the spanish people rememer the boats so its come visit now

rtbrick: I kind of agree with you there, not all models though. My car is called Infinity G20T in U.S, and that one is quite nice!

JimS: Well, your father is not for off actually
