Some pics from norwegian meets. Modem users beware.
« on: October 24, 2007 - 03:36:58 PM »
Since this thread is'nt about Carlisle, a Mopar club, and certainly not about an upcoming event, i'll post some pics here in the off-topic forum.

This summer, i've been to a few car-meets. One of them was partly Mopar-only, sounds a bit contradictory, i know, but this was because the norwegian Mopar club, Walter P. Chrysler Club of Norway had a meet at a racecourse together with some other clubs. That meant that i could joyfully wander around and take pictures of cars that i until then had no idea of being in existence. And some more known cars that demanded to be taken pictures of just because they were pretty ballsy in a 60's and 70's european sort of way: Not very much hp, but could drive on two wheels between scattered sheeps in a alpine hairpin turn without alarming the sheeps, at several hundred miles per hour. ;)

The other were free for all nice cars, no "club only" affairs, but the majority of the attendance was of american iron.
Since "some of you know what the all the popular Mopars looks like" is a bit of an understatement at this forum, i've decided to not post pictures of mopars, unless they're real nice, or sticks out in some other way. Same goes for FooMooCows and Gee Emms. Unless it's a Hot Rod, then they're by default cool, and are to be revered.


First out, from Oslo at Ekeberg Camping's green grass.

This one to make all the other look even better, a rice'd Astro:

















I don't know if Ford Falcons are a common sight in the US these days, but a nice Falcon cab is worth a few bytes:









The Kamikazewagon could've been rebadged as a Dodge, so i don't feel too bad about it being next to the fine Volvo PV.



Get'em while they're young:





Dig those headrests!


We really don't see AMC's too often, so here goes:
















This one is a bit...  ...different. Based on a truck?



























Young one with good parents:


Despite what i wrote earlier, i have to post a sea of Mustangs.
I must apologise for my countrymen, they have simply misunderstood something, namely that Norway is land of the fjords, not land of the Fords:


Yeah, it's a one more Ford, but it sticks out, and it was parked near the Mustangs:


Hey, there's a sticker back there!


It says:


































Nice flames!



























"Spis Drammens Is" means " Eat Drammens Ice Cream".








This restoration is probably accurate to every little detail:





From another place, Tyrigrava Kro, or Tyrigrava Tavern just outside Oslo.
It was bad weather, and poor attendance, so it won't be many pictures.

The pictures from the raceway meet, at Vålerbanen, Våler raceway in foreign speak.











This Dart was one of three Mopars that were racing together with a motley mix of cars, and it did have a few 180 degree spins. After the first one, all the other cars gave it a lot of room in the turns, and overtook it on the straights instead. Same with a Hemi Challenger. Of the Mopars, only a Plymouth Duster managed to keep the front bumper going first at all times. But the bascially stock Mopars did'nt really belong together with the race-prepped old euros, and the modern cars like the RS4, the Porsches, and the BMWs. So respect to the guys for just doing it anyway!














This Mini was real cool to watch on the track, it made those entertaining screeching noises in every turn.


















































Even a Datsun looks cool in race prep. Looking at the rear wheel arches and the american license plate, i wonder if anyone have seen this as a dragracer in New Mexico?
























































































During the race that was to come, widing'cuda and i found ourselves in the unusual postion of rooting for a Mustang and a Camaro.

How tough is it for you guys to get parts for your US cars there in Norway. And I thought we had problems chasing stuff down! Thanks for the pics

No problems, there are a few firms that stocks parts for the most common models, and if they have'nt got it, or as the case often are, too expensive, then we order from the US. Summit, Year One, etc.
It's just that in the end, when shipping and taxes are paid, we usually pay nearly the double as you do in the US for the same part.

Some serious work has been put into cars that over here would just get lauged at.  But I bet you're arse any of those cars could smoke most over here on a road course.  Its cool just to see what people on the other side of the world are doing.  Very cool.   :2thumbs:

Land of the fjords, not fords, lol.  That made my day.   :rofl:

Thanks for the pics!  That Astro is really aweful-looking!  It's funny to see a Studebaker truck as I have a '61 stepside that needs a restoration, but I'm planning on getting it running well again then selling it.
