YES!!! finally I got myself a 70 'cuda, my dream car for many, many, many years.
I bought the one Rich on this forum had for sale. And the 'cuda is just great!

Drove it from Stansted to New Castle (in England) about 290 miles, and then from Kristiansand to Oslo about 190 miles.

Heres the picture I took when I came home.

Thanks guys!

Yeah I'm still like this  :bigsmile:
I forgot to say that Kristiansand to Oslo of course is in Norway. So I took a Ferry from New Castle (England) to Kristiansand (Norway).

Nice 'Cuda, widing!!!!  Believe it or not, I've been to Kristiansand!  I played at the Quart Festival (I think?) about ten years ago.

I thought it was beautiful, and we went swimming in the cold waters behind the stage, swimming and boating from island to island until 10pm, when it started to get dark.  Wonderful.  Land of the midnight sun indeed! 

I bet you have the only Cuda in Kristiansand!  Congratulations!!!

If you played in Kristiansand, it was probably the Quart Festival.
To be honest I've never been in Kristiansand before, so this was my first time. There are about 10-15 Barracuda/cuda in Norway, as fare as I know. But the number is increasing every summer.

Ps, I live in the capital of Norway, Oslo.

hi widing,

I hope you consider coming back to the uk, and to the Euro Nationals at Santa Pod at the end of July. And bring some friends. I was hoping to race rich and that cuda against mine, never mind.

Nice car, i saw it at Le Mans last year.

A friend of mine and I are thinking about coming to the Euro Nationals at Santa Pod. I'll of course bring the 'cuda and he'll bring his 72 Challenger.
But I have to get it registered in Norway first, and that can take some time. So time will show.

Hi Widing,

Sad to see her go, but I'm really glad that you made it home OK and that you've got the car you always wanted! It makes me feel better that she's gone to someone who'll take good care of her.
