Re: Akvavit what did I know ?

I am sorry but after a 350 mile long train ride, my host Jan-Ivar insisted that I needed some medicine to help calm my nerves after my experiences with the shipping line.


So no pictures of cars this post but I did manage one or two shots before , before , before

I'm sure you heard the story about the making of the Norwegians favorite drink, Aquavit. It is best very cold, and while eating Lutefisk.

ZR 1 Jan Erik

Jan Erik also likes late model Corvettes. He owns a ZR1 1995. It is number 446 or 448 with less the 3,000 miles on it.


Here is a look at it, he lives on an island near Bergen Norway.

Harry Harbakk President Corvette Club Norway

More from Jack , as some of you may know I have taken my c-2 to Europe as the guest of European Corvette owners. Most have C3 to C6 cars.


You will see some wonderful cars as well as pictures of my travels through Europe. The Europeans are buying up these cars at a great pace, they like speed and blowers.


Harry Harbakk has a great car 1980 with some unusual art work.

Re: The Car is now in Berlin with me

Hello America,


The car finally arrived and I was off to the parents home of ChevyUnger, a member of the forum. He mentioned that his parents had a place I could crash and that he would meet me there for the ride to his house in Berlin the next day.


Here are some pictures of the crash pad...Matthias, and his parents Heidi and Kurt. I was treated very well as you can see.

Nice cars! There is an old joke we in Stavanger used to tell about Bergen (there is a great rivalry there). One day a man came out of a bar in Bergen, and it was as usual, raining. He couldn't take it anymore, and in frustration he saw a little boy standing nearby. He asked the boy, "Does it always rain here in Bergen?". The boy replied, "I don't know Mister, I'm only ten years old".

Re: 107 MPH Germany Autobon

What speed is that? I notice you are in the right lane. How many Porsches, Mercedes, and BMWs passed you?
