[AT] Volvo/Mercedes + mostly OT rambling

[Larry D. Goss]

Mattias -- Remind me once again, where is Ringarum?  I'm headed to
Poland for Easter again this year and we are thinking of taking the
ferry to Sweden for Easter weekend.  Where are you relative to either
Stockholm or Karlskrona?  My son lives in Sopot, so we would be crossing
the Baltic from there.

Since I've understood that you guy's rarely see any Volvos I thought I
got to show you this ugly beast (here it's called a bastard when you put
things together like this).

It has now got the engine from a Mercedes 220 diesel and it's autamatic
transmission! The guy who sells says there some minor work left with the
"hood". No kidding!
This is my contribution to cabin fever right now, the stepdaughter is a
day patient at the hospital this week (nothing serious) and Magdalena is
to pregnant to be there so I'm kind of cut off from the world. Kind of
funny that after gone through a couple of hundred ATIS-messages find
some complaints about that the list is slow ;-)
BTW ordered a digitalcamera tonight which i will have in a few days so
hopefully that Fotki site will be updated with some better pictures. It
will be real useful if I as I hope will be able to visit
Fyllingarumsdagarna this summer, a show with a lot of tractors that is
held every second year only fifteen miles from here. Last time I was
unable and before that we didn't live here. The camera also will be
handy for sending pic's to distant relatives when the twins arrive (at
least I've told Magdalena so:-).

It's the swedish grey ferguson club that arrenges Fyllingarumsdagarna
and they're also building a museum in Ringarum for the Ferguson they
keep for Scania the number 2 which is the first serialmade since No 1 is
a prototype and is still in the UK.
On the former topic off starting diesels, I know for sure that my David
Brown would start (if parked in a slope) and operate without any wiring
at all, both theoretical and in practice.

Time to stop rambling and go sleeping since this rambling didn't do it
(at least not for me ;-)
