Gustav - I have visited the Koenigsegg facility twice at Angelholm. The first time was with the Furball 5000 (like Cannonball,Gumball) and our group was given a tour of the whole place. The second time was last year when I collected my CCR. Both times they have been so friendly and hospitable. Completely different from when I visited Lamborghini and was told to move my Diablo away from the front of the building.
Koenigsegg make you very welcome and treat you with courtesy. I think you will have a great time there.

Thanks for your reply.
If I have to say, I noticed how kind they were with me in Montecarlo.
And really appreciated that.
Like I said, it is something I plan to do in the next future: living in Italy could make it hard because of the distance, but nothing is impossible...

I agree on dirty is good (ahem...). It always anoys me when every 24hour race team now clean their cars before the finish. They were doing it again at the N'ring 24hour at the weekend.

On the Parish Church centre photo; yeah its really stalking that front door, pointing at it, waiting. Its like a scene out of ***** Race 2000 !!

I had the Egg blessed at the Catholic Church in Yateley near my home town. People walking and driving by slowed down to look. I guess it`s not eveyday they see a Priest blessing a car!
