You only find cars that old in Cuba (near you), Sweden and North Korea!And California. Really? LOL. I was talking about cars from the 60's and the early 70's. Well everything is possible I suppose. Some weeks ago I saw a Pontiac GTO in a mint condition. And Ford Mustangs. And of course Cadillacs and Chevrolets. Oh happy days. |

You only find cars that old in Cuba (near you), Sweden and North Korea!And California. Never understood this thing about great wallowing lumps of rust buckets that had trouble going round corners. Maybe because in the late 60's early 70's I did things like this, in 1.6 Liter version of the Fulvia, with a full International permit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGiZR23VyhQ Where going round corners fast was essential. Must have done something right, still here and didn't have any injuries. edit] And I'm not the Scandiwegian here edit2] Never did get to go up Pikes Peak |

Some people use them as daily drivers out here in the land of palm trees and sunshine.You only find cars that old in Cuba (near you), Sweden and North Korea!And California. Of course the model A's and T's only come out on the weekend or to the car club meeting or the rally. Knew a gentleman Jack Wall who bought two corvettes every year. One got driven, the other got parked. What would you bid for a factory cherry 1955 one owner corvette convertible with less than 10 miles on the odometer? I see it recently sold again https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1955-CHEVROLET-CORVETTE-CONVERTIBLE-17556 but obviously now has miles on it and more than one owner. Yes, California is weird about cars. |

Yes, California is weird about cars. Well California is called The Sunny State. Cars last longer in such climate. Btw. My grandfather had a T Ford once. Must been in the 20's:) Mercury Blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IqjDSyqeDM |

Yes:) A British "Colony" in America! Lot's of sprinters from there. And Grenada and Jamaica of course. Jamaica are also participating in WINTER olympics. Very odd! |

Yes:) And guess what? Ludmila Engquist a former Soviet/Russian/Swedish athlete joined that team. For her 1997 victory in Athens, Engquist received the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal, the first non-native Swede to win this award. During these years she became one of the most popular woman athletes of Sweden and was sometimes dubbed a role model for younger native Swedish talents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludmila_Engquist It's a small world:) She ended up like this. |

"If Sweden are in trouble, then we will come." That promise gives US Secretary of Defense James Mattis in talks with DN. Although a political abyss separates Donald Trump from the Swedish government, the United States would help Sweden against Russia. http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/i-maktens-slutna-rum-far-sverige-amerikanskt-stod/ Our Secretary of Defense Peter Hultqvist's cuffs :) "We look forward to informing the US administration about Swedish immigration and integration policies." https://twitter.com/swedeninusa/status/833462568257732612 |

Pentagon AKA Mattis's Castle. Mattis is Ronja's father and a robber. He lives with the robbers, his wife Lovis and daughter Ronja in a big castle shared by a lightning strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronia,_the_Robber%27s_Daughter |

There are some countries in Europe that don't differ so much from the US. Here we watch MANY silly US sitcoms. And every TV show or movie are not dubbed so we hear both English or American everday. Before that we are cruising up and down the road to McDonalds. And for some reason we speak English with an American accent. And kids too, MF and F**K. Came up with a great idea. Why don't Trump from Karlstad buy Sweden as the US bought Alaska from Russia? It's a bargain:) |

Came up with a great idea. Like these guys. John (Johan) Ericsson, born July 31, 1803 in Långbanshyttan, Värmland, died March 8, 1889 in New York, USA, buried in Filipstad, was a Swedish inventor. Långbanshyttan, Värmland is not so far from Karlstad. John Ericsson i Battery Park, New York. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ericsson And Buzz Aldrin's grandfather came from Värmland, Sweden. And of course many scientists. Asteroid 18016 Gröndahl Discovered: May 13, 1999 Absolute magnitude: 14.3 Asteroid group: Asteroid belt Discovery site: Experimental Test Site Orbit: The sun Prepare the 51'th Star. btw Gröndahl lives in Florida. I know many with that name:) :) :) |
