I'm always willing if you need help with the language! Or anybody else for that matter... Thanks! Could you explain what "Gatebil" means? All I know is, that if you put it into google it comes up with cool cars. ;D Gatebil, IIRC, is a Norwegian magazine, and as many car magazines, they arrange meetings and such... "Gate" (or in swedish "gata") means "Street" and "Bil" means car...

......and POSITIVE comments welcome. Try this one on for size: Thread of the month for MM!! Awesome, epic and choc full of WIN! As I scrolled down ovr each photo I had an OMG reaction (please feel free to replace OMG with OOOF - they are one & the same to me) I haven't even bothered with the usual 'right click - save' process....this thread went straight to 'add to favorites' status. Thank you. No, seriously...THANK YOU ;D BTW - that wide bodied 340/360 is beyond crazy....I'm in auto love! Thanks mate! I figured I could either moan about the forum or go and do something positive and do my part keeping RR great! ;D I care massively about RR as I'm sure everyone here does. Thanks!

To be honest I didn't know which country those photos were taken - they seemed to be from many Scandinavian countries. All I know is, you guys "up there" have some seriously cool cars!

But the norwegians are way better than the swedes in making cool cars. Especially when it comes to Volvos, strangely enough. Maybe they are to common here to make people realize their potential...

Another place for finding cool Scandinavian cars is here - Årsmodell (snigger) lets you filter by how old the car is, and you can sort by make and model (Märke och modell) or rating (Betyg). A quick search for 1970s Fords gives you a rotary Capri (that I'm desperately trying to find more out about), a T5 powered Escort, and a VAG 1.8T powered Escort - all on the first 4 pages...

For the Swedish equivilent of Gatebil (magazine) you can try BilSport ... who even do/did BilSport : Retro Car (Not sure if they still do). Obviously Garaget is where it is at,.. but you can also try the Projekt forums on Zatzy for some crazy builds, mainly fairly modern stuff. Rejsa is also a good place for build threads, you used to have to be registered to view them, but I'm not sure if that is still true Once you find some of the show names it is easier to find more pictures There is some stuff on RSM to get you started too : retroscenemag.com/?tag=/sweden

Nah, sadly Bilsport Retro cars are gone now. Shame, I did enjoy that magazine... Bilsport is not much to read, mostly boring 90/00s cars with bolt-on aftermarket curse word and huge rims...

Shame,.. it was a good mag .. Street and Strip is worth a look I think. Gasoline seems to be more Americar But pretty cool.

Here's a positive for ya : You just made me appreciate Type 3 Notchbacks! always been a practicality lover, loved squarebacks, thought fastbacks were ok and wasn't keen on notchbacks... but Wooooah this is nice! the red lines on the tyres just finish it so well. and this made me laugh!!! cheers for that link
