Mattilacken Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi all! I am a new forum member located in north of Sweden above the arctic circle in a town named Gällivare! I have always been in to cars and been building models since the childhood. Since I have turned 32 and got my own kids I have started with models again to keep my car hobby alive. i build all type of cars but in real life I prefere American suv/ trucks and muscle cars but could se my self in a Porsche boxer as a track weapon! thanks// Anton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam Vet67 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Welcome to our world. By the way my son travels to Göteborg, Sweden from the United States 3 or 4 times a year for business for a company called Zenuity. He loves the area and the people.

Russell C Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Welcome! I occasionally like to drop these far-away town names in the Google Streetmobile pages to see what they look like. Someone in your town has a classic old Pontiac? https://www.google.com/maps/@67.1383129,20.6663022,3a,75y,48.51h,85.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5d9xhZ7haSY7QrBY7x2xXA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Welcome! I'm always amused how people in Europe are into American cars. You didn't mention Rally racing, I've watched a few winter events and am blown away at the driving skills, in Arizona people freak out about a dusting of snow.

There’s allot of classic American cars here in town! We have our own nostalgic tour every year. That Pontiac is actually on my street. Follow further up past the camaro and make the right hand turn. After that my house is the first on the right! Photo taken before I bought it though.
