[AT] Volvo/Mercedes + mostly OT rambling

[Mattias Kessén]

First of all the list is operating funny since I use two E-mail adresses (being real good at deleting) I can be somewhere use one system/adress travel an hour use the other and not yet got all the messages I've already read. For instance this original message I wrote arrived six hours later at work and seven at home.
    Anyway Ringarum is between the both places if you look at a map ringarum is situated 30 km south of Norrköping or between Valdemarsvik and Söderköping we live ten km east of Ringarum. If you don't find it I'll send you some mappictures of list or go to http://www.lantmateriet.se/index_eng.htm
