Pic's on my GN in SWEDEN

[The Swede]

Hi all!

Just wanted to share some fresh pics on my GN.

It's springtime here now and all snow are gone and all the green are coming up again.

Hopefully the movie will be done in a few days or so....

During that time i have one from -03 racing a tuned Plymouth 474" Six pack, it's a 7.50 dial in at the 1/8 mile, that's why i'm using the brakes at the end.

Nice pictures.

What do the poor people in your country drive?

I'd love to see the look on the faces of the Volvo and Saab drivers when you go by in the GN.

Must turn lots of heads over there.

Actually, we have plenty of US cars here, mostly classic and musclecars.

Ex; we are 9 million in Sweden and in Trans Am Club of sweden there are 700 members, Camaro club has 1200 members.

In my little hometown we are 2 GN's and my old TTA is still here as well.

Totally in Sweden is 4 GN's and 6 TTA's.

In Jan-00 i was the only one to have a TTA.

Thank you Alan!

All pics are taken down at my work, Port of Västerås.

The pics where the car is standing in sand, it's our own beach with a small bridge to a very tiny sand island where the beach is.
Where we are standing and shooting the pics we have a big BBQ place with tables, boule course, trees with apple, plum, strawberrys and more.
This place is located behind fence in the port area.

The water is lake Mälaren, like a river to the Baltic Sea.

The biggest vessels we can handle are approx. 8000 tons. that's all the lock can take to the Baltic Sea.

Since we are talking about Sweden and Turbo cars, one TTA is located above the artic circle!
Where he lives we have a BIG tourist attraction; www.icehotel.com

Our king and family likes to visit the hotel.

Swedish laws you know.....

We are not allowed to have orange lights in the front exept for the turn signal.

In the front of the car i have the parking lights and in the rear i have orange turn signals temporary mounted for the annual inspection here.

After the inspection i remove the signals in the rear and use the red turn signals again, still the cop's can stop us on the streets and give us a fee for that.

Inspection here in Sweden is very big, they look for rust, checking the brake lines, checking so the lights are OK, going through the complete front,testing the smog, brakes are checked on a dyno look a like thing etc,etc.......

It's chrome.

I had the car in a garage at my work and some ass*ole smashed the window and a new correct painted GN window doesn't excist on the market, only for Regal.

But it's been painted black now.
