Is any subscriber to this group going to the SAAB festival in Trollhattan in
June? Have you been there before? What are the chances of buying spares for
a three-year-old 9-5 and are they really a good bargain?

I am going, and yes the prices are unbelieveable.

Definately book a ticket and get over there.

Actually, we're driving to Trollhattan via Denmark. Staying over in
Copenhagen for two days, planning to drive to Oslo thereafter, for we have
not been to that part of Europe before. We've already booked a bungalow in
Nossebro some 20 miles from Trollhattan for the duration of our stay and
really look forward to it.
Best regards

That just sounds so....strange. That bridge is a hell of an engineering
marvel. <voice mode="old guy"> In My day, young man, we had to take a
BOAT from Sweden to Denmark, and we LIKED it...but you tell youngsters
that these days, and they just don't believe you...now get offa my damn
lawn...</voice>

If you possibly can, check out the Viking ship museum in Oslo.
Spectacular. Vigelund park also unless you are astonishingly prudish.

'Aye ... Get out of the centre as fast as you can and onto those nice
islands. Those viking ships are "something else" ... Not to mention the
other museums over on Bygdøy. Åker Brygge is still something of a marvel and
the "weight" of the town hall is impressive. Ooh, and the castle makes for a
relaxing afternoon if the weather is good.

When we visitied Øslo, we had stayed in Stockholm and then had a few days in
Trollhättan. When leaving Trollhättan, the girls at the hotel asked where we
were going and we informed, "Øslo!". "Hope you have enough money!" came the
reply ... If the Swedes think it's expensive, it is :) Erm, and IT IS!
