Changing from one BMW M V8 to another BMW M V8. The other revs 1400 rpm more...
Fueling up!
Cruising out of the traffic from Stockholm...
Starting to get to the countryside. We are going west from Stockholm to Oslo and back.
Starting to hit freezing temperature and very foggy...
Excellet highways and as always not very much traffic in Sweden. But close to freezing temperature and 110 km/h limit...
It sure is autumn! The BMW M3 has the optional 19 inch wheels.
Countryside...
Near lake Järnsjön.
Before...
and after:
We had a hard time figuring out how that driver managed to crash that busstand and fly out into the junk yard. The car was Toyota Prius.
Reacing the border to Norway. Norway is not a member of the European Union, and therefore do they have customs. Of course we got waved in and searched through the car. Norway is unfortunately taxed on cars and the new price for the BWM M3 is 1 374 600 NOK which translates to 246 100 USD. Over 580 000 NOK in taxes. New price in Sweden is $98 000, 648 999 SEK.
The Roayl Palace bult in the first half of the 19th century as the Norweigan residency for the Norweigan and Swedish King Carl XIV Johan of Sweden. Henever saw it completed, he died before it was finished. It is now used as a the official residence of the Norweigan Monarch.
