The Trip to Sweden
Hi,
Attached to this post are the photos taken on the outward journey. Note that these are posted for interest as I have not been this way before. Journey was certainly an experience. Al photos have been resized to 1024 x 768 and are about or less than 200k in size. If preferred I can in-line post the photos so let me know..  Spotted a 1800 on the way to the same show.. :0 Also spotted an english robin reliant - tax was well overdue - hence the straw you can see on it!!! Here goes.. Des. . .

Thanks for the photos ctc. I'm very envious. I got my passport no problem, but then my wife couldn't get the time off work.

Hi,
Part two here... :0 We stayed in a small B & B well south of Gothenburg, this because we were booked onto the Olofström Body plant tour and visit and Museum visit just outside the town. Olofström is, apparently, the 3rd largest body plant in europe and presses panels for not only Volvo but ford and Jaguar.. Our B & B was on the west coast, just up from Halmstad.. A little place called Holm.. Anyway, the Friday Meet was to be a visit to the Olofström Volvo Museum and then the factory tour.. They charge to enter the Museum, which I though a bit mean and only have about 7 Vehicles in there, so I gave the museum there a miss. But got some souvenirs there.. On to the factory and then back to the Museum.. We were following an old ! series (I think) all the way from Holm to Olofström.. There was also in the evening an "informal" meet at a local (to Olofström) hotel and eats.. All very nice and lots of photos to be taken.. Des. . . PS: Phew!!! That was one hell of a post!!!!

Thank Des great photos!
1 complaint though, you seem to have too much p1800 in this one and not enough cute butt.
