An ongoing log mainly concerned with the bowel movements of small mammals - or so it seems.

So far so good with the lunch. Lasagna at an Irish pub in Sweden...should have known better anyway.
 
Got to drive a Volvo in Sweden to the Volvo plant today. Can see why passing the driver's test here is so difficult - driving here is difficult. Narrow twisty roads that are about a lane and a half wide with electric trams mixed in. Traffic circles with no signs or signs that point everywhere. Lights off to the side so you're not realy sure what they're refering to. Oh yeah there's a "Angered" tram. You don't want to mess with him. He might "utfart".
 
Couldn't go through the assembly factory section at Volvo. They claim that the suppliers hadn't brought in material so production was at a stand still. I think they were scared I'd steal company secrets and post them on Craptastic. Instead, they whipped out a limo and took us over to the Volvo museum which in the end was probably way more interesting than watching robots weld fenders. Got to see the full range of Volvo cars through history. Even one of the speedsters Roger Moore used in the Saint (for those who don't know, that was before he became the lecherous and saggy Bond in the bad leisure suit). Kept thinking that if we had Mike with us we'd never get him out of the first room. And if he ever got into one of the last rooms with their Landrover style vehicles...that would be a different story altogether.
