Car scene in Sweden
DarrenW - 30/4/10 at 02:01 PM

Working in Sweden for a while. Hotel is just off the main square. A group of younger types congregate on evenings. They all seem to have older beaten up Volvo estates. Quite a few ones with only half an exhaust. Rather strange.

Been quite a few older yank muscle cars too.

All are interesting to see.

I would suspect they are all running in excess of 400Bhp...

And probably all have their diffs welded into a solid block

Mate of mine had an old 340 hatch with a hot Clio engine in it and a welded diff. Painted it bright green with a brush. Looked a state, but it spent most of it's time going sideways!
