2000 mile trip

[Heo]

Starting to sound like FE Reunion Over-Seas Edition! Those FE Fords running around probably scared all the Volvo's into hiding.

The streets got empty just the tumbleweed Rolling along mainstreet
Tomorrow i start my 1000 mile trip home diaphragm in fuelpump is sweating gas
I guess the etanol is eating it away i hope it stays together until im home. It developed a leak
Around the distributor and the  valvecovers just small leaks just anoying! A long trip like this realy
make you find what you need to fix. High beam,not that i realy need it at home in the summer
where it never gets dark. Smal leaks, Puting on my new rubberseals around the Doors and side Windows, the play in the stearing box, gas gauge, but thats it

Sounds like a great trip and you sure go through a lot of wilderness area!

[Heo]

At home now,left at midnight yesterday arrived home at midnight. The last hour i saw things
that was not there . I visited a friend in Uppsala on the way home that have a 46 Ford coupe
Custom ,Model A tudor and a 61 Olds 88 bubbletop. We visited o friend of him that have a 64
Galaxie with a 520 Kaase Boss 9, The Galaxie have been running fine used a lot of gas,a quarter
of oil. Total of about 2500 miles only work i had to do is adjusting the hoodlatch, Well..... swapped
the carb but that was my own choise, and two headlight bulbs.

Yes Tom it was a great trip. There is a lot of wildernes to drive through especialy if
you take the inland road. And the small amount people that lives there getting
less and less. I passed throught villages thats completly abandoned just a few
houses used as summer cabins. The south end of Sweden is beautyful with open
fields and mansions and castles pics commin as soon as i have rested a while

Adjusting a hood latch and a headlight bulb isn't too bad for that much of a road trip. Most of my stuff leaks more oil than that!

[Heo]

There was a sign. Area under camera surveilance no tresspassing, violators will be prosecuted.
So i could not help it i had to back in on the road an take a pic Road to some high end masion
and stud farm


On the road to Svaneholms Castle late at night to see if we could get a glimps of some of the ghosts




In front of the stables at Svaneholm. But no headless knight whith a red griffon on his shield on a black charger that wanted to chalenge me. I guess the bark of the mighty FE scared him into submission.   Im disapointed



Landlubberatsea here on the forum visited with his nice Torino and we had a fun day



On my way to Tobbemek on this forum to get a Dartvader conversion carb (internal Joke)



The wife at the Leopardroom at the countess store. this did not ended cheap



The Canola fields was in full blossom and there is a lot of them

[RustyCrankshaft]

Some cool spots along the way, made for some great pictures. And if they didn't want to park in the driveway and take pictures they would have put a gate up right, so it all seems fine to me (until the guard with the attack dogs and shotgun show up).

The headless knight is probably hiding with all the Volvo's you guys scared into hiding!

Few things are more expensive than trains, planes and automobiles.....except women. But they're both fun to play with so there is that.

Looks like it was a good trip.

[Heo]

Not what you expect to see at the gas station. A 54 Skylark 300 and some built
Never restored just got a cheap paintjob sometime in the past. And like the owner
said extremly expensive to restore,just going to maintain it so he dare to drive it



Realy like how the blue tone on the light at night makes the blue on the car
look. Would love to make a poster out of this pic.



Love those small vinding roads through small forests and over fields. would be fantastic to ride a motorcycle on them

Hey, I saw the reference to the stud farm and thought about all those cute Nordic girls and....ah heck!

[TomP]

I like that castle pic, the car looks Pagoda Green.
 Great pix and it looks like a great journey.
 That Swedish car show looks pretty good. The schedule looks better than most shows around here where the "power parkers" are in place at 6am and ready to leave before noon when most normal people show up to see.

Heo I live in eastern Finland near Kuopio .
Right now near Lieksa preparing for the wedding.
On my bucket list is power meet but let see what summer I can drag my ass there.
That Haaparanta seems interesting too but I'm caught up here and for good reason.
Heo you live somewhere up north?

[Heo]

Small world, i have a friend stoping by on sunday on his way
to visit relatives near Lieksa. Be careful with the Koskenkorva
