Summer tyres is on!

The summer tyres are now on! Also I have washed the car thorough so it’s all shiny, but there will probably be some rain soon enough to change that. Here is a new picture, with the new rear wing spoiler on too.

It was a long time since I posted something here now, but I have had nothing to post really and just forgot about it. Here’s a recent picture, one of my favorites of my ride, can’t wait until summer!

Wheels Classic Cars

I visited the Wheels magazine Classic Car show at Barkarby Airport last weekend to look at some muscle cars. There were ofcourse most classic cars, but also some nice modern cars. Here are some pictures, ofcourse my Dodge Charger was also there :).

Here are some more pictures of my Dodge Charger, now named “Vanessa” after the movie “Gone in 60 seconds” which featured another type of Charger with this codename.

The dream car for me has always been a Corvette, but when I visited New York last summer I spotted a Dodge Charger, which came to be another dream car of mine. Last week I found one Charger for sale which looked very nice and had a nice pricetag to it. I looked over my finances and decided to take it for a test drive on Sunday and then sleep on it and come to a decision.

Yesterday I decided to go for it so I called and let them know I wanted it. Today I picked it up and drove it home, feels damn good. It’s a very nice car, for a good price. The color is a very nice deep water blue pearl and it has huge 22″ chrome wheels. Chrome wheels is not particuraly my taste, I would prefer black, but they do have a nice design anyway. The engine is a 5.7l V8 hemi producing 345 hp, but it’s pretty quite actually, until you floor it ofcourse. It’s very nice to drive, but takes a while to get used to those big and wide tyres on the road. It’s very roomy and comfortable inside, feels very luxurious. Vromm, vromm!! :)

More pictures will be added soon enough.

Man runs amok in car shop

Draupner — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:06:43 +0000

A 45 year old man in Sweden (Visby) was going to get his new car, but was delayed so he was offered a loaner until it was ready. Appearently this was not good enough for the man who runs amok and drives the red loan car through the glass walls into the store, ramming several other cars. Then he gets out and steals a van and rams it into the garage door several times until it finally breaks. Finally, he steals a BMW and flees the scene, but with police already alerted he’s soon pulled over and driven to the psychiatric clinic. The estimated damage is about 65,000 euros.

Talk about bad temper… this dude needs some anger management. I can recommend lego bits of you need to break stuff, together with some nicely composed cussing it should be enough for anyone.
