Stockholm Car Meets

FWH · 14th April 2012, 15:32

Not specifically Civinfo meets, but this section was so quiet I thought I would post something!

For any others of you in Stockholm I have updated my website (in Swedish) with the 2012 car meets in and around Stockholm.

On Saturday April 28th the "Biggest Car Meet Ever in Stockholm" is being arranged at IKEA Barkarby at 20:00.
Anyone going? I plan on being there.

Link and Link.

Here a Car Meet and a Cruise are two quite different things.

A Car Meet is often organised with off street parking etc.

A Cruise is typically based around the US car scene (which is massive here) and involves driving around the city / town / village.

We don't really have the same chav cruises as the UK, although the "Biggest Ever.." may well turn out to have a bit of that element.

To answer your question, yes.

However, I am afraid we only allow posting in English on this Forum.
Please free to send me a PM though.

Oops, sry forgot that.. It's going to be awesome if there's a couple of more FN2's though

FWH · 14th April 2012, 18:45

Yes, I thought it would be fun with a few cars from here.

I don't know if HPC are planning anything.

Mmmmmmm - dependent on my "bad leg", I may very well attend - I'll see how my condition improves

It's actually pretty good already - signed myself out of Hospital 3 weeks ago - and since I came home, I've dumped first the Wheelchair, and then the Crutches - bought myself some snazzy \ hi-tech walking sticks, and I'm now getting about pretty well, albeit my leg and back muscles are still rather weak

@ [metin] - sorry, no FN2, just an FK2 !!!

Glad to hear you are doing better!

I'll feel even better, when I can get behind the wheel of my Civic !

3 Months without driving - and now the car is unusable - my son 'kindly' got it ready for the road (at least, he tried to) - punctured a tyre, flattened the already low charge battery (playing music while he was in the garage)

He then connected the portable charger the wrong way round (+ to - and - to + !!!), killing the battery completely and it looks like the Main #1 Fuse is blown (entire car electrically dead, even with a trickle charger connected) - SIGH

Hopefully, that's all it is - local mechanic coming tomorrow, to see if he can sort things out - new Bosch S4021 Battery and 2 x #1 Fuses waiting for him !

If any of you guys are going and want to meet up, I am meeting up with some other Miatas at the Welcome Hotel (or Welcome to Hell as it is known) parking lot in Barkarby at 19:50 today.
